Up in Flames

***SPOILERS AHEAD*** Once again disappointed by Abbi Glines. I was really really hoping she\’d pull this one off and it would be a well written novel but all she did is place Nan is a manipulative, dangerous, situation; trying to be a little less vanilla. Her choices were the spineless Major, whom she had no real connection with, or Cope \”Gannon\” Roth whom stalked and abused her in the name of it being what she wanted, and forced himself upon her while she slept. This wasn\’t sexy in any way it was creepy and abusive. There is a right way and a wrong way to write with a bit of a kink flare and this wasn\’t it. All in All she not on let Nan down, giving her a sub par story line letting her be abused mentally and sexually, but she let readers down.

I didn\’t know if I wanted to read Nans story or not. I knew it was either going to make me forgive nan and want a happy ending for her or seriously tick me off. It was the ladder. Some possible unwanted spoilers. I wish she would have just gotten Nan help. Put her into intensive therapy or a psychiatric ward, something. Maybe had her fall inlove with her therapist or anyone else but the two vying for her attention in this book. I can think of a lot of different things I\’d rather have read. But no Abbi decided with the last book to bring in two men for Nan to have sex with. She decided with the last book to try out a little of BDSM and not very well. It was actually appalling. She should just stick to the type of sex she normally writes because shes one of the best when writing those scenes. Its normally the perfect amount of romance and sex. This book didn\’t feel like NA like the rest of them, it was unemotional F-ing. It also leaves you hanging with a certain charater and you don\’t know if she\’s going to do a string off or something. It was frustrating. I hope Abbi slows down when writing and actually starts putting thought into her books again, because lately I dont believe she\’s been taking enough time on her scenes. She gets an idea, she thinks up how she wants it to end, and she powers through it. There you have it 200-300 pages of barely any substance. One last thing its quite a big spoiler so if you dont want to know dont read anymore……… They should not have a baby. Omg it would be the most screwed up child. Nan might love the baby, but it will be raised as a stuck up, full of its self, possible soulless creacher of the night like its parents. There I\’m done. Idk why she thought this book was a good idea. It was a no way for me.

I want to start by saying I\’m a huge fan of Abbi Glines but I didn\’t like this book at all. This was Nan\’s book and I expected to see how Nan resolved all her issues with the Rosemary crew. Last time we read about Nan, she said she didn\’t want to hang out with Rush\’s family. Now Nate loves her and Blaire likes her — but how did that come to be??? I really wanted to see her make amends with Blaire, Grant, Harlow, etc. I was very disappointed with this book. I didn\’t like the love interest either. We know nothing about him (and neither does Nan) but then plans to be with him forever?? I\’m sad that this was Nan\’s book…..

I was so disappointed with this book. Can\’t believe this is the ending to a 14 book series. Very disappointing. I had high hopes for this book and thought we\’d get a better insight into Nan, maybe some resolution between her and other characters, but nope! Her and Blaire are patching things up and thats it. Besides Rush, none of her other siblings relationships are better – NOTHING about her dad. This was NOT a good ending to the series. I spent years reading this series and it ends with sooo much disappointment.

Oh Nan. I hate you!!!! I have hated you through the whole Rosemary Beach series but somehow the author got me to hate you a bit less. I wouldn\’t say I love you but I do like you and I don\’t hate you anymore. I don\’t like how you treated people in the past. But you finally find a guy you will love YOU and a guy who you can love and one who will treat you right. He may treat you in a way you weren\’t expecting, or think you would like, but you do. You love it! You need it actually. And he gives you something you have always wanted but NEVER thought you would have. You start to warm up to Blair more and it looks like the two of you might even become friends. The love Nan shows for her nephew Nate is just amazing. Who knew Nan could love like that. But that little boy is everything to her. Major makes her so mad. At first she thinks she could love him. But Major doesn\’t treat her right and she is sick of it. She puts her foot down and is done with him. She runs off to Vegas and meets Gannon. Gannon is unexpected. He is someone she wouldn\’t think she would like or be attracted to. Someone she wouldn\’t think would make her so sexually crazed and crave him so much but he does. He does things to her and makes her feel things that she could only dream of. But he needs to hurt her. He needs to send her back home heart broken and mad. And he does that. But he can\’t let her go. And she can\’t forget about him. Nan really does get her happy ending. She also experiences some loss and guilt but she is finally happy and finally loved!!!!!!
