Review: Excellent Addition to the Sea Breeze Series

I love Abbi GIines because she is such a consistent author and continuously delivers books I love to read over and over again.  Misbehaving is a little different from Ms. Glines previous works in the Sea Breeze series or even Fallen Too Far books in that the leading female character is not this innocent, nave little southern girl. Jess is this flirty, funny, trouble making gal who is completely aware of how to use her looks/body to her advantage.  She knows exactly what guys wanted from her. Needless to say, most girls hate her and guys love her.  But I never saw Jess as either a victim  or user, down deep she is a good girl and her inner dialogue is thoughtful and insightful.  I could tell she wanted out of the poverty she was brought up in, but had no idea of how to get out other than having a man in her life lift her out.  I liked Jess a lot and loved seeing her evolve throughout the book.  Eventually deciding on building a future for herself depending on herself to get there.  I wish I had liked Jason more.  He is not one of my favorite male leads that Ms. Glines has written.  My main problem with Jason was he was so wishy washy and at times immature.  In his thought process you could see he wanted to treat Jess differently from all the other guys she had dated previously, but unfortunately he did the complete opposite.  He was really no different until the very end which was sad and frustrating. He finally gets it together, but the book ends shortly after that with no epilogue and I wanted to see more of them as a couple in good times when both of them were finally on the same emotional page.  So bottom line, I don't trust that Jason can or will treat Jess with the respect and love she deserves.  I wanted to see a year down road....does he have her back, how does she fair with his rich friends, what goes on with his mother....yeah I  have some lingering questions. I think I read Krit is getting his own book so I am hopeful that Jess and Jason will show up again and updates will be given.  Overall though very pleased with this book.
