Misbehaving by Abbi Glines

Jason is sick of living in his rock star brother’s shadow. So when he ships off to Sea Breeze, Alabama, he’s looking for a much deserved escape and a chance to blow off some envious steam. Falling for the local bad girl was definitely not the plan. But as the new duo enjoys some naughty fun in the Alabama sun, Jason learns that even though Jax is the musician in the family, he’s not the only brother who can rock someone’s world

I've been meaning to review this book for quite some time because it's been the first Abbi Glines book since Because of Low that I haven't kind of hated. I actually would rate this book with 3.5 bubbles simply because it was different than her books that she has been writing for the past two years now. 

Let's get to the actual review now!

First, I'll talk about the things I did like. I really liked the fact that Jess was who she was. She was not this extremely naive virgin whose life seemed to be based in a children's story where nothing goes wrong. Her mom obviously had her problems and the town of Sea Breeze was not the biggest fan of Jess because of her past. 

Then we have Jason. I didn't despise him because he wasn't this womanizing alpha male we seem to be reading so much about in the new adult genre. I am so thankful for this. He actually was a nice male lead. Did he have his moments where I kind wanted to shake him? Sure, but I didn't hate reading in his point of view and I didn't despise him like a lot of the popular male characters in the NA books these days. 

Now, I feel like Abbi Glines is used to writing some of the same stories, I will give her credit because she does know what sells and she is able to grab the attention of so many young women. Jess and Jason's story was somewhat similar to the other stories Abbi has written but the fact that the naive virgin/womanizer was missing changed this story so much in my eyes. 

Would I recommend this book? Sure. It was a light read and fun and entertaining where it needed to be
