About this eBook

In the shore town of Sea Breeze, Sadie discovers that fame is nothing in the face of passion. A steamy read from bestselling author Abbi Glines.

Sadie White’s summer job is at the beach, but she won’t be working as a lifeguard. Since her mom is pregnant and refuses to work, Sadie will be taking over as a domestic servant for a wealthy family on a nearby island.

When the family arrives at their summer getaway, Sadie is surprised to learn that the owner of the house is Jax Stone, one of the hottest teen rockers in the world. If Sadie were normal—if she hadn’t spent her life raising her mother and taking care of the house—maybe she’d be excited about working for a rock star. But she’s not.

Even though Sadie isn’t impressed by Jax’s fame, he is drawn to her. Everything about Sadie fascinates Jax, but he fights his attraction: Relationships never work in his world, and as badly as he wants Sadie, he believes she deserves more. Yet as the summer stretches on, Jax’s passion leaves him breathless—and Sadie feels like the only source of oxygen.

Can their love overcome the disparity in their lifestyles? One breath at a time, they’re going to find out…

Ratings and reviews

loved the overall plot and love story except the dialogue was kinda off to me (for the age range)-- and I hated how the author made the older "help" sound like they were from deep in the southern woods...living in the deep South all my life, I've never heard anyone truly speak the way she had those characters speak. it is kinda predictable and in a way I felt the ending was kinda rushed vs the rest of the story, but I did like it.

I had no clue abbi had this novel in the 1st place so I decided to give it a shot. Interesting concept... Good prologue and very well written into details. Its a very short story that's why I gave it 3 stars and not five stars because I wasn't fully satisfied at the end... just wanted more. I thus recommend novel.... Not steamy and hot like the other Sea breeze books as I anticipated.

This would have been a better read if it weren't so cheesy and played out to be the most perfect thing. I felt no connection with the characters, and only felt as if I was reading some sex novel. If it were written differently and there weren't so many cheesy lines from all of these guys, it would be better. It was an okay read, but was disappointed.
