Title: When You're Back (Rosemary Beach, #12)
The future is bright for
Reese Ellis. She has Mase Colt-Manning, the man of her dreams, and a
family she didn’t know existed until her long-lost father arrived on her
doorstep in Rosemary Beach. After growing up with a cruel mother and
abusive stepfather, Reese is eager to get to know the caring and
charming man who wants to be a part of her life. Everything is finally
falling into place.
While Reese is visiting her new family in Chicago, Mase spends time with his “cousin,” Aida, who has worshipped him since childhood. Though they’re unrelated by blood, Mase and Aida have been raised to think of each other as family. But when Reese returns, she can tell something isn’t quite right with Aida, who clearly resents Reese and excels at manipulative little games. And though Mase is unsuspecting, Reese knows Aida doesn’t love him like a cousin should...

Well. This one let me down. To me this was a worst Abbi Glines book I've read. It was like she just wanted to write another book about Reese and Mase so she put a cliffhanger in the previous book and then wrote this one.
Reese turned from shy, innocent, broken, sexually abused girl into a vixen who suddennly has no intimacy fears and loves sex. It was like the switch in her mind has just tuned up. When it's down she's scared, fearful and unsure of herself and man's inntentions and the touch of man is not something she's really comfortable yet. When it's up she's okay with man, even those she doesn't really know and sex is something she needs and wants in her everyday life.
Mason also turned from a sexy, possessive, gentle cowboy into a still sexy, but so overprotective of Reese's feeling that it was annoying ("I can't do that, it'd upset her.. and you can't say that it'd upset her..blahblahblah") and sometimes he was like an elephant in a china. Stomp.Stomp.Stomp.
The plot itself was bit boring. It was repetitive and nothing has really happened most of the time.
The parts where was Kiro were heartbreaking. I just want him to have a happy end with Emily and it looks like it's not going to happen.
The relationship between Reese and Mase is sweet but sometimes too mushy and needy for my taste. If I ignore those overly sweet moments they complete each other and he makes her braver and she makes him more romantic.
The ending was weird. It was kind of cliffhangerish but it wasn't really. The last chapter was so damn confusing (not the actual last sentense, that made sense and I was expecting that). It could be explained in maybe five or ten pages.. It just left me wondering if someone forgot to put those pages in the official book.
Hopefully they will be explained in Captain's book, because he's connected to it in a weird way. The whole Captain thing will be explained hopefully.
