Eli Hardy - Compacted (Deceased)

There was no hope for Eli, no chance of escape. He was crushed in a collapsing room where there was no way to get out from the inside.

I knew what heartbreak felt like. It was never easy. It destroyed you. Pulling yourself together afterward took strength.

RATING: 2.8/5

NON-SPOILERY REVIEW:  First of all, I love Abbi Glines. I have read most of her books and loved it except for the recent ones. I really thought that this book was going to be better than Like a Memory. It started really well. I was enjoying it. However, it still ended up sucking. It's a good thing that I wasn't expecting much because I really disliked 'Like a Memory'. It was still a short read and Abbi Glines' writing is still beautiful but the story was a disappointment. This was nothing compared to her previous works. I didn't love the lead male and female characters. They made stupid choices that got annoying at some point. I expected more from Grant and Harlow's daughter. Eli deserved more. Plus, the twist just annoyed me. Although, I love the fact though that the previous characters were mentioned and shown here more. Rush, Grant, Harlow, Della, Kiro, Nan, Mase, Reese, and Woods made an appearance which was fun because I missed them. That redeemed the book a little for me.

BOOK COVER REVEAL: Because of Lila by Abbi Glines

Because of Lila (Sea Breeze Meets Rosemary Beach #2)

by Abbi Glines

Prim, proper, classic good girl, and her least favorite label – icy.

Lila Kate Carter has heard them all. The last one, being the newest. She is not icy. She just doesn’t care for Cruz Kerrington and his spoiled, selfish, careless ways. That doesn’t make her icy, that makes him a jerk!

Tired of being labeled and doing what is expected of her, Lila Kate leaves Rosemary Beach, Florida ready for an adventure. Wanting to recreate herself, find a new path, and become something more.

Eli Hardy is tired of women who always act the same, do the same thing and expect the same thing. He’s ready to swear off women until he can get the rest of his life together.

Two weeks into his no-women-rule he meets Lila. She’s so damn sweet and polite. Like she walked right out of an etiquette book. But he’d already been drunk before she walked in so there was a good chance she might not be as stunning and perfect as he thinks. He’s just too drunk to worry about that.

The next morning, he swears he can still smell her on his skin. He just can’t remember why or what happened after that third dance.

Their worlds are about to collide, and so are the secrets and lies.

I did not expect the Lila Kate and Eli pairing. I think most of us were rooting for Lila and Cruz... or probably just Cruz' story? Just kidding. We all love these kiddos, of course. Some of us just have their own favorites. Anyway, I cannot wait for another book by Abbi! I feel like it's been forever since I read about this crew. Hmm, I can feel a reread is in order. ;)

Lila Kate's story will be coming this July 11th, go pre-order now!
