From #1 New York Times bestselling author Abbi Glines comes the next new adult novel in her beloved Rosemary Beach series, which continues the story of Mase and Reese from When I’m Gone.
The future is bright for Reese Ellis. She has Mase Colt-Manning, the man of her dreams, and a family she didn’t know existed until her long-lost father arrived on her doorstep in Rosemary Beach. After growing up with a cruel mother and abusive stepfather, Reese is eager to get to know the caring and charming man who wants to be a part of her life. Everything is finally falling into place.
While Reese is visiting her new family in Chicago, Mase spends time with his “cousin,” Aida, who has worshipped him since childhood. Though they’re unrelated by blood, Mase and Aida have been raised to think of each other as family. But when Reese returns, she can tell something isn’t quite right with Aida, who clearly resents Reese and excels at manipulative little games. And though Mase is unsuspecting, Reese knows Aida doesn’t love him like a cousin should.
4.5 star Review.
When You're Back is the 12th book in the Rosemary Beach series! You should definitely read the 11th book When I'm Gone first though. It will give you a perfect insight into Mase and Reese's life prior to starting this book.
I really enjoyed reading this story! I think Abbi's books are wonderful! Easy to read, easy to love the characters and really immerse yourself into the story!
I loved the characters, well most of them except for two..lol.
I admired Reese and her strength to put her past behind the best way she could and have more of a life than what she endured when she was younger. I thought the way she handled some parts was true to herself but at times I kind of wanted to shake her and say'stop being silly'...Her love of Mase, her acceptance into his family and friends gave Reese her real sense of 'FAMILY'.
Mase!! He was just another Abbi heartthrob that I loved...my favourite is most definitely Rush and we also read about him too as well as some of the other characters from the series...You can sigh and swoon alot...Oh boy!!! But you will shed some tears too, how can you not??
Mase brought Reese out of her shell, was very attentive to her most of the time and she was absolutely adored by him. I love the way it ended, loved Mase's Mum too. There were some surprises that had me incredibly shocked...just when you think a particular character is someone strange, turns out they are something else entirely.

Abbi Glines is a #1 New York Times, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal bestselling author of the Rosemary Beach, Sea Breeze, Vincent Boys, and Existence series. She has a new YA series coming out in the fall of 2015 titled The Field Party Series . She never cooks unless baking during the Christmas holiday counts. She believes in ghosts and has a habit of asking people if their house is haunted before she goes in it. She drinks afternoon tea because she wants to be British but alas she was born in Alabama. When asked how many books she has written she has to stop and count on her fingers. When she’s not locked away writing, she is reading, shopping (major shoe and purse addiction), sneaking off to the movies alone, and listening to the drama in her teenagers lives while making mental notes on the good stuff to use later. Don’t judge.
