I liked this one much more than Jax and Sadie’s story. It was way more developed. The book has a good twist and the plot is actually pretty interesting. Also the characters Marcus and willow were developed better

Because of Low si-a castigat cu usurinta pozitia de carte preferata din seria Sea Breeze. Am facut greseala de a nu le citi in ordine, insa la cartea aceasta chiar aveam dubii in privinta deznodamantului si intr-un fel eram fericita sa stiu din vol. 4 si 5 cum se vor termina lucrurile. Altfel as fi avut parte de o cadere nervoasa cand m-am apropiat de sfarsit.
Mi-e greu sa spun de ce mi-a placut atat de mult, pentru ca la inceput, trebuie sa recunosc, eram putin cam sceptica. Imi place stilul lui Abbi Glines, insa ultimele doua volume au urmat acelasi traseu: bad boy meets nice & smart girl. Tipicele clisee, se indragostesc, apar multe piedici care stau in calea relatiei lor, etc. Insa de obicei aceste piedici erau si ele tot la fel de cliseice: banale neintelegeri si suparari fara rost.
In schimb Because of Low nu a fost asa. Ma saturasem de eroinele care se plangeau constant de soarta lor, de faptul ca un anumit baiat nu s-ar uita niciodata la ele pentru ca nu arata intr-un anumit fel (mai precis, ca nu indeplinesc standerdele de "frumusete" ale baietilor), pentru ca nu sunt indeajuns de bune, pentru ca sunt mult prea nesigure s.a.m.d. Insa Low nu a fost genul acesta de protagonista. Am apreciat enorm de mult la ea taria ei de caracter, simplitatea si inteligenta, bunatatea, feminitatea care tinde spre dulce, nu spre sex-appeal. Evident, nu era constienta de frumusetea ei, dar trecem peste acest aspect. Nu putea lipsi un cliseu insa la Low nu a fost deloc deranjant, ci dimpotriva. Nu era ipocrizie, ci doar sincera nestiinta.
Marcus a fost.. genul de baiat pe care orice fata si l-ar dori. Aratos, inteligent, romantic, dulce, care prefera sa curteze o fata si sa ii doboare barierele una cate una decat sa aiba parte de o cucerire usoara de o noapte pe care o va uita a doua zi. A facut si el greselile lui insa e atat de adorabil incat i se poate ierta orice.

So this was a spin-off from breathe we first get to meet Marcus in breathe as he is the other person working over the summer in the mansion he had a crush on Sadie in the first book but this time it's marcus's time to fall in love Marcus is 21 he's in college Willow was currently sleeping with his roommate but he wanted Willow for his self he was dealing with a lot of stuff at home as well so that we can all relate to this was a really good spin-off book and I don't usually read these sorts of books but I really want to finish this series I love the office way of writing and have read many of her books

I'm honestly just on an Abbi Glines kick at the moment. I have no time to read, not since starting work anyway, but these books are so fun to read. And sexy. The perfect blend of romance and drama.

Amazing, bittersweet, touching story of an incredible girl named Willow and a familiar to the readers boy from ''Breathe'' Marcus Hardy. Great plot, beautiful romantic relationships, heartbreak and misunderstandings, betrayal and unconditional love - everything in this book takes your breath away! I loved Cage (though I'm not a fan of manwhores), his loyalty to Low, I was glad to hear from Sadie and Jax, I hope there will be sequels about Cage, or Amanda, or Preston. To put it briefly - just read and enjoy - the book is awesome!

I liked Because of Low much better then Breathe. I just wanted to put that out there for the fact that my review of Breathe wasn't very positive. I read both books back to back, both in a few hours. There is something about romances that make me devour them in a few hours. Abbi Glines novels are easily becoming a bit of an addiction of mine. I have other things I need to read and all I keep doing is debating on reading the next book in the Sea Breeze series.
I was excited to read about Marcus, we saw how Sadie messed with his head a bit in Breathe and I wanted him to be happy. He is such a sweet and caring character, but at the same time he can be sexy. (Plus he is really good with kids!!) I typically don't like reading in the male point of view, but I didn't mind it much with Marcus. I think he may be one of my new book boyfriends (not that I have enough already...) The story is also told in the point of view of Low, who I did like very much. My heart really breaks for what she had to go through in her life, especially with her sister who could care less about her well being. But Marcus and Low are incredibly adorable. I am a bit bummed their story is over now. *sigh*
The romance is were I had a problem. It wasn't as big as big of an issue as it was in Breathe, but this book also suffers from a case of instalove, which was frustrating because I knocked a star of its rating for that. I do like that Low and Marcus admit that they developed feelings fast, so it wasn't that bad. I loved the romance though. They were really sweet together. The sex scene felt a little rushed, but under the circumstances I can see why. But Abbi does have a knack for writing some heart melting scenes.
Overall this one was much better then Breathe. I felt the characters to be more real as well as the romance. I'm looking forward to getting a chance to continue on in this series, because 1) the covers are really awesome *wink* and 2) I liked Abbi's writing style.

Enjoyable but predictable. And I felt the drama between Low and Marcus a bit immature at the end. And Low was very insecure. Simple, easy, read

I really love Marcus, but I don't know, I didn't like some parts.
