When You’re Back

Rosemary Beach Series – Book 12

By Abbi Glines

Synopsis

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Abbi Glines comes the next new adult novel in her beloved Rosemary Beach series, which continues the story of Mase and Reese from When I’m Gone.

She was where my home would always be. It was time I took the next step and proved to her I was all in. Forever.

A chance meeting in Rosemary Beach has turned into a fairy-tale romance as Reese prepares to move in with Mase on his family ranch in Texas. With the loving support of the Colts, and her recent discovery that she has family of her own, Reese can finally move on from the dark horrors of her past and into a bright future.

But Aida isn’t going to let that happen. The beautiful blonde has been raised to think of Mase as her cousin, but it’s clear to Reese that Aida doesn’t love Mase like a cousin should.

And then there’s Captain, the inescapable stranger who has connections in Dallas and Rosemary Beach—and who conveniently shows up wherever Reese happens to be. Hot, mysterious, and plain-speaking, Captain isn’t afraid to tell Reese what he thinks about Mase—and how he feels about her.

As the competition for Mase and Reese’s hearts heats up, Reese’s past begins to unravel, illuminating shocking truths that will forever change the lives of the happy couple—and set the final stories of Rosemary Beach in motion.

Michel’s Review

I was surprised when this book came across my desk.  I was completely satisfied with the conclusion of When I’m Gone in the Rosemary Beach series.  I really didn’t feel a compelling need to have more of Mase and Reese’s story.  Their story ended on a good note that I felt blended perfectly into the Rosemary Beach series.

When You’re  Back picks up where the previous book left off.  Reese has gone to visit her real birth father to meet his family.  She is no longer a misplaced individual.  She has a family and she has Mase.

Upon her return back to Texas life is looking a bit different.  She is learning to deal with her dyslexia.  She is learning how to trust other people.  She is learning that love makes all the difference in her world.  She’s anxious for her and Mase’s future.

When she returns she learns she is going to have to face much more before she and Mase can have their happily ever after.  She meets Mase’s jealous cousin Aida.  Aida is displaying some unnatural feelings towards her cousin and treating Reese like crap.  At first Mase can’t see what’s happening until it almost tears him and Reese apart.  Aida isn’t his cousin by blood ( secretly I think she may be Nan’s cousin…just kidding!).

Then there is the issue of Reese asserting her new found confidence and independence.  When she takes a job off the ranch it throws her into the path of Captain, Blaire’s half brother.  His business is also crossing from Texas to Rosemary Beach.  Captain is not all that he seems but there is one thing that is perfectly clear.  He is interested in Reese.

Reese’s past comes back in full force.  Now she has three men that want to protect her.  Mase, Captain, and her father will go to the ends of the earth for her.

Mase and Reese will have a lot to deal with to combine their love and lives together.  They may be in Texas but Rosemary Beach crew has their backs.

This book ended on a bit of a cliffy but I don’t see a sequel to this book.  The next book slated for this series is Captain’s story and it is going to be good.  Hopefully Reese and Mase’s story will carry on in the future Rosemary Beach books.

I love the Rosemary Beach series and devour every book that is released.  These characters have become as dear to me as my own family.  These books never disappoint. They are built upon love and friendship.
