The main problem with this book is that Amanda and Preston didn’t really have any chemistry together. The only way they connected was by taking care of Preston’s siblings. They never talked about anything other than this or sex. I liked them as individual characters though.

A fost exact genul de carte la care ma asteptam, deci pot sa spun ca a raspuns asteptarilor mele. Nu genul de carte extraordinara, plina de semnificatii secundare si descrieri ample, ci o carte usoara, avand ca tema principala o relatie moderna dintre doi adolescenti. Evident, tipicele clisee: baiatul rau, fata cuminte, se indragostesc si trebuie sa treaca peste barierele impuse de colectivele din care amandoi faceau parte, de familiile lor, etc. Este un tipar care in literatura usoara contemporana are un mare succes, pentru ca s-a descoperit aceasta sensibilitate, sau daca vreti, inclinare, a fetelor pentru baietii rai. Iar autorii de young adult fiction au descoperit imediat cum sa valorifice aceste gusturi ale adolescentelor.

Right so we first met Amanda in book 1 when she started talking to Sadie Amanda is the sister up Marcus we also meet Preston in book one person is the friend of Marcus we've also seen them in every book previous to this one so I really wanted this relationship for Amanda after everything her dad has put her through with cheating on her mum I think and landed deserved relationship where somebody would cherish her and Preston was the guy who she wanted so this is Preston story and how Heaney and Amanda get into a relationship what I've got me if I was Marcus I would have been pretty pissed off that my best mate was hitting on my sister

Well written and entertaining with some sweet moments but Amanda was far too childish and naive for an Eighteen year old.

Okay I have to admit something. I was not looking forward to Preston's book. I always thought he was the biggest man-whore out of all of them and didn't think I could fall for him.
I now take that back.
Amanda has grown up loving her older brothers best friend. So when she finally has a shot with him, she doesn't hold back. I liked that Amanda's feelings and actions weren't perfect. Her feelings and lust took over her good morales. This to me made it so much better than all the other girls. She fought for Preston and tried to win over his attention even when we were all probably yelling at her to stop being such an idiot!
This may sound silly, but there was really only two main reasons I gave this book 4 stars instead of 3. Deep down in my heart, learning about Prestons past and his family and what goes on in the end, honestly brought real tears to my eyes. It was so raw, heartbreaking and beautiful all at the same time.
I may not hate Preston anymore moving forward. For now......

Warning: For Mature Readers Only: Contains Sexual Situations, Language and Underage Drinking
Abbi Glines has done it again. By that I mean writing another book that keeps you so compelled that you basically forget to breathe while reading it. Ms Glines is absolutely one of my all time favourite authors of all time. She is one of the best story creators that I know of. The other day I told Kayleigh of K_Books that it doesn’t matter which genre it is that this woman writes, you read it without a doubt. You drop everything immediately and get comfy and read until the last page. I get sucked into every single one of her stories and even when I have finished it, I am still in the world in which the story takes place. I am still right there with every character experiencing everything they are going through. If you love stories that make your emotions go all topsy-turby and smooshes your insides then any Abbi Glines book is for you.
Just For Now is the fourth book in the Sea Breeze series and it did not disappoint. Even though my favourite story so far was Cage and Eva’s in While It Lasts, Just For Now helped me to create a special bond with Preston. So far in every book he has been described as a player because of his extreme hotness and the fact that he has a different girl basically every night and doesn’t care how he breaks their hearts because honestly he is Preston Drake so why should he? That is SO not the case. We find out a very dark secret that he has been hiding so that he is able to care for his three very young siblings since his mother is a good for nothing drunk and can’t even look after herself let alone her children. So he basically became a male prostitute in order to care for them and it is a secret that not even his best friend Marcus Hardy knows.
He has been in love with Marcus’s little sister, Amanda, for a very long time but knows he will never be good enough for her so he does everything possible to make her hate him, little does he know that she has the same feelings for him and has been trying to get him to notice her forever. In the beginning they sleep together but Preston is drunk and thinks it was all a dream so naturally Amanda thinks that it meant nothing to him and tries her best to move on. The entire story is about two people afraid to trust each other for fear of being hurt again and also about finding love in the unlikeliest of people.
This story made me smile, go awwwwwwww and cry my heart out in separate occasions. I felt like such an emotional mess and just had to sit back a few times and process everything that I have just read. I honestly love this book so much and I am very satisfied about the ending for Preston and Amanda as well as for Preston’s siblings.
It is a definite must read for everyone and also for those who have lost hope that they do not deserve love because of things in their past.

Damn that was short, it leave me wanting more. It was a good, entertaining story, but I think conflicts were solved too easily, I kind of like a little bit more struggle, make it more real, but I liked it anyway, I felt the chemistry between the characters and that was nice. The book reminded me of two books in another series 'The Forbidden Men' by Linda Kage (Price of a Kiss and A Perfect Ten) so that was kinda cool too.
