Up In Flames (Rosemary Beach #13) By: Abbi Glines

(N)   The next book in the Rosemary Beach series is here and this one is all about Nan.
        
          Nan Dillion is known as the bad girl of Rosemary Beach. She's been called so many vile names under the sun and there's only a handful of people in Rosemary Beach who actually like her. While some of her reputation is deserved-she never had anything to worry about but maintaining her perfect figure and splitting her Daddy's private jet with her brother Rush. But Nan is far from happy. Rush has another kid on the way and doesn't have time to play catch up with his sister. Grant, the last guy she truly cared about chose to be with her half-sister Harlow instead of her. And Harlow, who never truly got over the way Nan treated her when she first came into town remains distant.
       So when Major asks her out Nan jumps at the chance to date the gorgeous charmer. Though she doesn't know much about the sweet-talking Texan and while it's clear that he doesn't want to be exclusive, dating Major seems better than hanging out with vapid socialites or staying home alone to watch Netflix. For a while Nan is able to deal with Major's playboy ways but after he burns her one too many times Nan takes off for an impromptu wild weekend in Vegas. There Nan meets Gannon, a darkly seductive and mysterious stranger who knows just how to handle her.
        When it seems like Nan has finally gotten over Major he comes back around asking for a second chance. Nan has one man begging her for another chance and another Gannon, haunting her dreams leaving Nan to decide who she should give her heart to. But what Nan doesn't seem to realize is that these players are involved in a much bigger game-and they're both always two steps ahead of her.

      Before reading Up in Flames I wasn't sure how much I was going to enjoy reading this because Nan has always been a character that I disliked throughout the entire series. So going into this I knew reading it could be a challenge. With that being said I actually enjoyed really Up in Flames. Nan's story actually turned out really well and had me at multiple times wanting to keep reading. While there were times that the story seemed to drag on for a bit and become a little boring for the most part it was actually a surprisingly good read. With this book I was able to get a better understanding of Nan and begin to actually like her as a character.
