Review: Bad for You (Sea Breeze #7) by Abbi Glines (NA)



Book Blurb

Innocence was never meant for the addictive…

Addiction was something Krit Corbin accepted as part of his nature a long time ago. He decided to embrace it and flip his finger at the rules. Women had always been the number one thing on his list of addictions. He couldn’t get enough. Being the lead singer in a rock band had only made access to his favorite addiction that much easier.

Being alone was the only thing Blythe Denton understood. The small town minister’s family that raised her hadn’t accepted her as their own. The minister’s wife had always made sure Blythe understood just how unworthy she was of love. When Blythe is sent away to college and given a chance to finally be free of living as an unwanted burden, she looks forward to having peace in her life. Being alone isn’t something that bothers her. She escapes reality in the stories she writes.

However, the ridiculously sexy tattooed guy who keeps throwing parties in the apartment above hers is driving her crazy. For starters, he doesn’t treat her like she would expect a guy with a different woman always hanging on his arm to treat someone as uninteresting as her. She looks nothing like the gorgeous women she sees parading in and out of his apartment, but for some strange reason he keeps showing up at her door.

During a party at his apartment, Krit’s new neighbor comes to the door with her long brown hair pulled up in a messy knot and a pair of glasses perched on her cute little nose. She wants him to turn down the music, but he convinces her to stay.

Krit Corbin may have just found his biggest addiction yet. And Blythe Denton realizes too late that she’s finally been claimed.

Toot's Review by Stacy Sabala

Blythe grew up in a foster home with Pastor Williams and his wife. Mrs. Williams constantly verbally abused Blythe. She grew up unloved and felt deserving of the lack of love. After Mrs. Williams died, Pastor Williams got Blythe a job in Sea Breeze where she could also go to college. She was happy to leave her old life behind. She wanted to blend in to her new life and be happy.

The first person she meets is Krit. He caught her spinning around excitedly in her new place. He is intrigued. However she is too innocent for him so he tries to keep his distance. That proves impossible for him as he likes talking to her. They settle into a friendship. The longer they know each other the more they like each other. However Krit knows he is too bad for her and Blythe thinks she doesn’t deserve love. She isn’t good enough for Krit. They are both broken.

This is probably my favorite book in the Sea Breeze series. I love Blythe’s character. She is sweet and clueless but her heart is huge. She immediately sees Krit for the real person he is. She understands him. They were a great match.

His obsession was bit on the scary side but manageable. He is extremely intense. I wish the author gave more details in this book about Krit. She gave Blythe’s history in order to understand why she was the way she was. However not much was said about Krit’s childhood other than it was horrible. I would have preferred more backstory on him.

I liked how this story unfolded. The way they met was entertaining. Blythe was embarrassed and Krit was amused. They gravitated toward each other. It was fun to watch. Great story and addition to the series. I give it a 4 out of 5.
