It's more like 3,5. It just wasn't my favorite of the series.

This book will forever pull at my heart strings. He was the best big brother he knew how to be and man Amanda sunk him deep. Watching him fall so hard for her and not knowing what todo about it was the best thing to read. Being able to have these characters come to life on audio made it even better.

I think this was my favorite so far(I say that every time, don't I?). Really love that Marcus's sister got her own story. One heck of a twist though, being it was with Preston. Really looking forward to the next book in Sea Breeze!

5 Just for Now Stars

Preston & Amanda

I love a brother’s best friend romance!! And this was no different. Though Preston isn’t your regular kind of fella. He is kinda having sex for money.
I mean he is doing it for his brothers and sister but still it’s sex for money.

Amanda has always had her eye on Preston but he never saw her as anything other than his best friends little sister. Because he knew Marcus would kick his ass. Amanda though is not one to lay back and take that she makes it known she wants what she wants.

I loved that it wasn’t easy for them they had a lot of hard ship to get through before they could be happy. And this book wow the emotions will grab those heart strings.

Narration was pretty awesome; then again I am a fan of most of Abbi Glines narrators.

*You don't have to like my review but its 100% my opinion, and I am allowed to have it.*

Okay? Okay. I am not. I don't have next books in this series, I might just have a panic attack. The books in this series keep getting hotter and hotter, because some of the scenes should need a warning before you turn to the next page. Because while I was reading last half of this book, my boyfriend looked over and saw
Spoilertongue and took a swipe at my dick
and asked me if I was reading 50 shades of grey. I was like "Honey, this way better 50 shades grey, because it has Preston Drake all hot and sexy!!!" I don't think he like that I thought a book character was hot. Warning this book will a fan and fruity alcoholic drink to go with it. I give this book 5 stars for the characters involvement in the story. Meaning I enjoyed there lovey dovey scenes.

As a fan of the Sea Breeze series I was looking forward to Preston's story. I'm glad that I wasn't disappointed!

Preston is a grade A gigolo. All he cares about is women and booze. He lives his life in secret and has no time to worry about what others think. What you quickly learn is that Preston isn't such a bad guy. Growing up with a terrible family life he had to grow up quickly in order to take care of his brothers and sister. For them he would do anything. Even sell his body to lonely housewives. They know the deal and as long as he can drink away all the memories he is okay. That is until he learns that his best friends sister has been one of those late night "memories" he forgot.

Amanda loves Preston since the moment she laid eyes on him. To her it doesn't matter that he drinks and sleeps his way around town. She is so sure that he is so much more. So being in his arms for a night was okay with her. Even after he treats her like crap and leaves her in the dust. She just can't give up on him. Not even her brother can keep her away from him.

When Preston realizes that Amanda has feelings for him he is resistant at first. To him she deserves so much better. But Preston can't fight the way she drives him crazy and the craving he has for her. So he caves. Amanda turns out to be his strength while dealing with his life's drama. She does not waver in her devotion to him and helps him through the hell he is living.

What Amanda doesn't know is that while she wins Preston's heart, she doesn't have all of him. Not yet. They must deal with a alot to get to where they end up and I must say it was a wonderful journey. One where we get to see the rest of the Sea Breeze gang again and celebrate Low's wedding!

I contemplated giving this one 4.5 stars but I want to tell you why that didn't happen. My issue with this one was that Amanda was the weakest Sea Breeze girl, to date. I'm not used to Abbi's heroine being that way so I was a little frustrated. She barely stood up for herself and she was blindly in love with Preston even after what he did to her. Don't get me wrong I loved Preston too but it wasn't until I realized why he acted the way he did. Loved them together eventually but Amanda started off weak.

Overall, Just For Now is just as wonderful as the rest! We get the same Abbi Glines formula but Preston's story to me was the most realist. He definitely had it worse than the other Sea Breeze gang and pulled at your heartstrings.

Pick this up as well as the previous books!

FAVORITE QUOTES:

“Nothing about this thing we have is a bad thing. I’m not gonna lie about it: I don’t deserve you. I’m sure as hell not good enough for you, but as long as you want me, I’m all yours.”

“Preston pulled me up against his chest and cupped my face in his hands. “I love you. I love you so damn much it consumes me. I don’t deserve you, but I’m gonna become the man who does deserve you. I promise you. I’ll make you proud of me.”I reached up and ran my thumb over his lips. “I am and will always be proud of you. I want the world to know you’re mine.”
