A love she wasn't looking for becomes something she can't hold. And the hero may just be someone you knew all along...

It's good, intriguing even, yeah there's some details given, even some juiciness, but then at the end I'm left with "well, what happens next?!" One of the tag lines Abbi kept posting about on social media was "find out what character you knew all along". Seeing as how I'm slightly behind in her Rosemary Beach  series, the im...

Once She Dreamed #1 By: Abbi Glines Published: October 10, 2016 by Smashwords 107 pages Source: Personal Kindle Library   ( Goodreads / Amazon ) Summary: Everyone in the small country town, Sammy Jo Knox had been born and raised, never left. They made their life there. Got married, had kids, lived in the same houses that were always there along the streets that never changed.
