If you have been following the Rosemary Beach series by Abbi Glines, then you will be all too familiar with the character Nan and all her antics. She is the Mean Girl of Rosemary Beach. She is the type to hold a grudge and ruin lives. If you are in her way, then she will do anything and everything in your power to destroy you until she gets what she wants. However, underneath every bad and mean girl, there must be some ounce of goodness and Major - not Captain. I got a little confused at first since they are both titles and had the latest Abbi Glines I had read before Up in Flames featured Captain. Major has been hired to keep an eye on Nan and get close to her as she supposedly is connected to a drug dealer that Major's company has been searching for and wanted him DOA. What happens though when Nan starts to pull away from Major and give him the cold shoulder, she is known for? Can he earn back her trust or will the big guns come out to play as while in Vegas - Nan meets Gannon and he treats her like she wants to be treated, a way no-one has ever made her feel before and OMG she might just be falling in love. I know right - Nan having feelings of love for someone other than herself. I have to admit in Up in Flames; I did near the end start to feel for Nan as she was truly starting to open up and love and then they trampled on her feelings. What will happen though when she discovers that she will end up getting more than she bargained for with the relationship with Gannon? Will he realize she is more than just a job and that he too is falling in love for the first time? An experience that neither party thought that they would ever experience in their lifetimes? One of my favorite things about Abbi Glines's series is that you never have to miss the previous characters as often their tales crossover in all her books and they have guest character appearances. If you are like me and going through Abbi Glines's booklists, then check out Book #13 in the Rosemary Beach series as you will not be disappointed with Nan's story in Up in Flames.

It's happened.
The Rosemary Beach series has come to an end.
I'm not going to lie, my heart hurts.
We've had our ups and our downs, our good times and bad but at the end of the day there's no denying that I love Rosemary Beach. Because I think of you all as my close friends I am going to be honest with you, I was skeptical about this installment. Since Fallen Too Far I have been 100% #NanHater so when I found out this book was about Nan...ugh. To say I was less than thrilled would be an understatement.
I can't believe I'm going to say this...I mean it...I really can't believe it but...I'm a...a...#NanLover now.
If you think I'm crazy then just wait until you read this!! (It will be released June 28th)
They say that people who are awful usually are that way for a reason. I tried to see the good in Nan throughout the series but could never really see any. Okay that's a bit harsh, she did have some moments. Like one in particular with Harlow that was pretty cool. But other than that she usually just sucked big time.
When I first heard about this book I was under the impression that it was going to be about Nan and Major. We meet Major a few books back in the series (he's Mace's cousin) and while I did like him he wasn't my favorite. However I did think that it would be good for Nan to finally find someone. Not going to lie I thought he was a poor choice just because he was kind of a man whore to be blunt.
I am a big fan of books where the guy meets the right girl though and then settles down - obviously, isn't that basically what this series is?
Turns out Major is supposed to get Nan to fall for him so he can find out some information on this super bad guy and see if Nan has anything to do with this dudes trouble.
Unfortunately Major isn't nearly as slick as he thinks he is so Nan runs off to Vegas and meets Gannon who she pretty much instantly falls for.
This installment in the series was really great because while it was still hot like the rest of the books and you still got that emotional aspect you also got a mystery that I REALLY enjoyed.
Abbi Glines can do no wrong.
I'm really happy that she concluded the series with Nan because I feel like we have a closure we wouldn't have had if this book had been someone else's story.
If you are a fan of this series then I think you'll enjoy Up In Flames as much as I did. And if you haven't started the series DO IT!!

The girl everyone loves to hate got her own book, and it's really good!

This was a much anticipated read for me, and it did not disappoint! I'm a long time fan of this series, and was thrilled to finally dive into Nan's head. I don't know how Abbi did it, but she managed to make my sympathize with Nan! That's some kind of miracle.

The last few books in this series were not my favorite, so I was nervous going into this one. But Abbi finished the Rosemary Beach series with a bang! Somehow, I don't think we've seen the last of Major yet, though! (I sure hope not!)
