Abby Glines zählt seit vielen Jahren zu meinen Lieblingsautor*innen. Mit jedem Buch schaffte sie es erneut, etwas großartiges zu erschaffen, dass man von Seite eins bis zum Schluss nicht aus der Hand legen möchte. Das Schöne an ihren Büchern ist, dass man alte Bekannte und liebgewonnene Charaktere wieder trifft. So auch in "Best I've Ever Had". Und ich war so gespannt auf dieses Buch, denn die Prequels waren schon großartig. Nichts anderes hätte ich von diesem Band erwartet. Und nichts anderes ist passiert.
Band Nr. 3 in der »Sea Breeze Meets Rosemary Beach«-Reihe bringt uns Herzklopfen, Liebe und Leidenschaft und lässt uns mit den Charakteren mitfiebern. Doch um was geht es? Nach einem Jahr wie vom Erdboden verschluckt, kehrt Eli Hardy wieder zurück in die Küstenstadt Sea Breeze. Samt Motorrad, Tattoos und wilden Locken liegen alle Augen auf ihm. Und dann ist da auch noch Ophelia Finlay, für die Eli immer stärker werdene Gefühle entwickelt.
Wer bereits vorher Fan von Eli war, der wird erst einmal überrascht sein. Ich fand es jedoch großartig, ihn von einer anderen Seite zu sehen. Den Wandel den er durchgemacht hat, seine Beweggründe dafür und die sich entwickelnde Beziehung zu Ophelia machen ihn zu einem spannenden Charakter. Die Chemie zwischen Ophelia und Eli ist nicht zu leugnen.
Die Autorin hat einen sehr angenehmen Schreibstil, was das Leseerlebnis ohne Frage aufbessert. Da aus zwei Perspektiven geschrieben wurde, kann man die Entscheidungen der Charaktere gut nachvollziehen und fühlt mit ihnen mit. Ich hätte mir jedoch gewünscht, dass die Geschichte mehr in die Tiefe gegangen wäre, gefühlvoller und noch fesselnder wäre. Dennoch ein tolles Buch für entspannte Lesenächte.

Abbi Glines is a go-to romance author for me. I love her easy romances, throwing me back into the world that I enjoyed so much when I was reading the Rosemary Beach and Sea Breeze book series. I can guarantee I will enjoy any of Abbi Glines books every time I pick them up. They help me get out of any book slump, especially since I've been on a fantasy binge at the minute, so it was nice to have this break and jump back into the world of Eli and Ophelia.
Eli has had a rocky ride through the previous two books with Bliss and Lila Kate so I was glad he managed to finally get his HEA. However, I wanted to know more about his trauma within those 6 months of him disappearing. There wasn't enough information about this monumental moment in his life to make him so jaded and judgemental on the type of love he is able to accept or should accept. If the book was longer I would have been able to dive into Eli's and Ophelia's relationship more and become so much more connected to them. Everything seemed to be brief and I wanted so much more. I wanted Abbi to tear my heart out as she did in Rush and Blaire's book or any of the OG's. Ophelia was the perfect partner in crime for Eli and it would have been great to see Nate be more protective of her but he knew she could take care of herself and actually feared more for Eli.
Overall I did enjoy their story but I wanted more and I needed to connect with them in some way on a more emotional level.

I don't know why I picked this up given the first 2 in this series were a bust for me. Anyway this angst filled hero seemed a little too emo and when it's endless its boring. The noble idiot moment at the end of the book lost it a star
