LIKE A MEMORY has been so much fun to write. When I decided to throw the twist at the end of UNTIL THE END with the famous last words being “Nate Finlay” I thought I was setting myself up for something I may do one day.
I didn’t realize readers would beg daily for a book with the kids of Sea Breeze and Rosemary Beach. After all it’s only in Soap Operas that the kids can go from preschool to high school over the summer. I guess in fiction it can happen too…
SO that being said, two years after the end of the Sea Breeze series, I am now doing it.
I’ll be posting things all month about the book and giving you little sneak peeks here and there. This week we are starting with the playlist I listened to while writing for inspiration. As many of you know, I always write to music and with LIKE A MEMORY it was no different.

COMING FEBRUARY 14, 2017
Just as I was about to finish chapter two a shadow fell over me. I figured it was Larissa. Looking up I grinned, about to ask if she had herself a hot date. My eyes locked on a familiar face. One that was older, a face I remembered, from two long summers ago. A face a girl would never ever forget. His silver eyes were stunningly breathtaking.
He was sixteen now but his muscular bare chest looked at least eighteen. I really hoped Larissa didn’t see him. Her tiny bikini and D cup boobs would draw his attention real fast.
“Bliss,” he said, remembering my name.
“Nate,” I replied as I sat up. I’d day dreamed about him often since that meeting on the beach when I was thirteen years old.
He smirked like he was impressed. Like he expected me to remember him but wasn’t positive I would.
“I was beginning to wonder if you still lived around here.” He spoke then moved to take a seat beside me. He made it look sexy and cool, just like I remembered from that summer. He wasn’t awkward, didn’t weirdly squat, like most people do in the sand.
“You’ve looked for me?” I asked. My heart doing a happy flutter in my chest. He had actually wanted to find me.
“Of course I did. You’re my favorite memory about this place. Sure as hell ain’t my grandpop’s bar.”
He cursed. Eli never cursed. My brother’s did when my parents weren’t listening, but they didn’t do it in public. When they were out having to work on the farm they would curse for the sake of cursing. The way Nate did it seemed much older. Like he was sure of himself.

Looooove this playlist soooo much!!!
OMG! I can’t wait for this book! I also love when the authors give us playlists <3
Abbi! I’m super excited! I sent you a private message after the live video but I actually got the correct answer to the first question first. I have a screen shot if that’s needed! I don’t want to take the prize from someone else but maybe we could double prize it??
I saw the book on my goodreads feed and hyperventilated. Phone in hand I ran through my house looking for someone to tell but when I tried to tell them they couldn’t understand me as I was blubbering and talking way too fast. I just cannot wait! I read all of the Rosemary Beach books and Sea Breeze books in two weeks and have been like dying since. You are a brilliant author. (Love the playlist)
OMG i am so so so freaking happy Abbi, Can’t wait to read this xxx
OMG I CAN’T WAIT FOR THIS. I read the description on Goodreads. And it’s so shattering. Poor Eva, first her dad and then her DAUGHTER. I can’t wait for the two series to merge. But I REALLLY am DYING for Dean’s love story. Fingers crossed it’s with the character I have in mind. *cough* *cough* Darla

Hiya Abbi, Thanks for completing the Sea Breeze & Rosemary Beach series. I am about to read this amazing book “Like A Memory” waiting patiently for me tonight. I do hope I fall in love with this book as much as I have with all of the others. Hope to hear in the near future that you have some other book waiting to be read from your amazing readers. Can you finish the Vincent Boys series pretty please??. Thanks again & please look forward to my Goodreads review on this book. Take care xxx
Love it!
It wasn´t as great as Blaire and Rush but I do really like the story.
Had a great time reading it.
Great job!!! Will this be a new series?
I love the story so much Rosemary Beach and Sea Breeze. And this union is fantastic.
Since I read the small Nate, I spent wondering what would be the copy of Rush.
And although I would have liked the participation of the children of the protagonists of the Saga Rosemay Beach, was fascinating.
Now I can only wait to see what brings us Lila Kate.
And wait for the other- I hope that many more.
I would love the story of the twins Corby. Specifically Holland, the perfect mix of their parents for what the book allowed me to visualize.( a shy smart who enjoys both the solitude to read a good book how the company of his closest friends, with the temperament of his father to silence and to make others will have respect or fear), I would love to join with Finn, the son of Nan and Cope. I want to see how desenvulve is this little guy in the affairs of love (I hope it is so dangerous and rude as well as a total romantic as his father)and more what advice would you give Nan as mom.
Are the children of the characters of two of the books that I have enjoyed both series. I admit, those two have left me waiting for a continuation. And I hope that if my humble opinion with regard to this relationship, I will gladly jump and give pitched squeaks of joy. (The obstacles would be the mate. Which seems likes to overshadow his sister and make men will do to her and to her twin, -which i admit of the characters that I have seen so far is my favorite, I feel identified with it, I almost feel you’re spying and worshipped him-Holland i hope your story girl.).
It would also be splendid to know what happened to the little Ann Frances , that girl stole my heart. For this height must already be married, if you could mention it would you do me the happiest in the world. “Uyy!! I hope that this happily married and with a Phyllite of beautiful blond full of tenderness and love. According to calculations should be between the age of 30 years more or less.
I hope I don’t disturb my balbueante fascination toward his new project, which I admitted I adore.
After i read this book i litearly wrote down all the couples that would be so cute for the next books. Like if you did Lila Kate and Micha, there dad’s could be working together and lila comes to see grant, cause you know shes a daddys girl and she’ll meet Micha. ugh. Franny and brett would be so cute.
I just finished reading because of Lila. Which I now see was way out of order. But can someone tell me if there is a book about Eli after Because of Lila. I would really like to see if he gets his happily ever after.
Like A Memory is the first book of this new series with the kids from Sea Breeze and Rosemary Beach. Because of Lila is the second book. There will be more books to come. Stay tuned to my website and social media for updates on what’s happening. 🙂
