Perfection / Rosemary Beach 5 - 6 - Abbi Glines Series Review

Hello so the first part of this series review is here they are all one series but have mini series intwined its really complicated to explain is HERE. This is the next two books in a New Adult Series and they feature two very different main characters going through very different senarioes than before  .....

ISBN - 9781471120411
Characters - Della Sloane & Woods Kerrington
My Copy - Purchased

Where You Can Find It - Goodreads - Waterstones - Barnes & Noble - Book Depository - Amazon UK - Amazon US 
Della is running from her past and wants to break free of the craziness of her dark, sheltered past, but when she freaks out at a gas station Woods Kerrington comes to her a rescue a man who she spends one night with and the believes she will never see again. But when she finds out her new boyfriend is a married man her friend and co worker Tripp sends her to his home back in Rosemary Beach and gets her a job at the Kerrington Country Club. Fate has pushed these two together but will it also tear them apart? ...


Woods and Della is a couple i want too sure about at first they didn't seem like the kind of characters that ended up together, but again Glines writing has you loving them anyway It was a story about a woman trying to find herself and make a life for herself after living with abuse for so long and also having an illness and trying to get past it yourself even though she knows it is hereditary. Woods at times was an absolute arse but then at the same time you understand why he was, but i will stick up for Della always because she is a fighter and a survivor and i think that is what i love about every single book Glines has written all of her Female characters are fighters and survivors. 

The story was good a tad slow at times but that can be expected when you have a book with these topics and also it seemed like this was always the book i would get a little slower on not because of the characters but it was just a feeling i got when reading it that name me slow down when reading it and taking in every detail of Della's life and Woods messed up family (i think its a running theme in this series). It isn't my favourite but at the same time it really isn't the worst i have read but it really could do with some speeding up.


Simple Perfection

Woods had his life mapped out but when Della Sloane walks into his life and turns it upside down (in a good way) but when an unforeseen circumstance sees him running the family business he cant deal with both the business and Della's ghosts and Della feels like doing what she has been doing for the past couple of months RUN, but when her fears of dragging Woods down with her come to a head she has to make that decision. Will she make the right one or will she give into the darkness inside of her? 


Again this was really slow at times and that was so frustrating because it had so much potential so that was a part of the book that annoyed me, but saying that i also loved a lot of this book i loved the strength Della possessed also the strength Woods possessed as well they were this was the book where i could actually see them together because it wasn't one taking care of the other it was them on equal terms and that is something i like in a book. 

Like i just said the characters were a lot better this time around they were stronger and grew in just two books and that is a very big feat to do and also the supporting cast was again amazing because the supporting cast is one that you grow to love in the first book and it carries on growing through the rest of the series. This was also a very emotional book for not just the characters but the reader as well some very sad scenes and they are scenes that set precedence for some of the books in the future and it feels horrible but at the same time i can see why its necessary. 

Again not the best i have read but certainly not the worst i think i just don't connect very well with these characters but the writing still pulls me in. 

Until Next Time
Happy Reading
