Once again Rachel has managed to pull off a gripping novel that keeps you hooked from the very first page! You can almost feel their pain and self-loathing, and it never fails to amaze me the way Ms.Van Dyken can switch between the brother's personalities and still keep them so real and completely separate. You can feel a certain sympathy for their past, and the struggles they are still trying to overcome while in Seaside.

Reading Strung was exactly the same feeling, and it was one that I dearly missed! Even though Strung is essentially a re-telling of Tear, it is also completely different in the fact that it is written from the point-of-view of Alec and Demetri Daniels instead of Nat's, and that puts a whole different spin on things.This time, you get a greater insight and understanding into why they act and react the way that they do. I have been with this group from the beginning and from the first chapter in Tear, I felt like I knew these people. Whenever I pick up one of the Seaside series novels, it feels like a homecoming. Now he's stuck with her at some lame couple’s retreat and trying his hardest to fight the attraction only a woman like Beth could invoke.īut one spider attack… A donkey ride from hell… And an unfortunate episode with Viagra tea - and there’s one thing Jace knows for sure: He should never have agreed to Grandma Nadine’s suggestion in the first place.

Then again, he can't remember much of anything other than the way her skin felt beneath his hands. Jace isn't looking for commitment - he believes he made that clear when he left the wedding with Beth. And what should have been a one night stand turns into a six day adventure when Grandma whisks them off to Hawaii to save them from the ensuing media firestorm. The biggest problem? She can't seem to remember anything about the night before except for crying into a box of cookies, and she’s pretty sure Grandma Nadine slipped something in her drink.

From : Boring Beth Lynn has always lived up to her nickname… until she wakes up in a hotel bed next to a sexy as sin state senator she re-connected with at a wedding the previous night.
