The truth be told I didn't love Sadie and Jax as much as I love Low and Marcus- They have this pull that reader's can't resist. Marcus is very sweet and charming, then he's so hot at the same time! but don't get me wrong, he is not perfect, especially when he's drunk.

And then there's Willow, of all the sea breeze characters, Willow is so surreal! I mean it, every decision she makes is never out of her character. She's very dependent to Cage, but that doesn't stop when she wants something, sure its comforting to know that you have a safety net, but she takes it to another level. She takes chances, very forgiving, I know that that makes her look so weak, but aren't we all like that? When we are in love?

Then there's Cage, fact is this story didn't seem to be a cliche love triangle, because from the start. Willow knew why Cage is protective of her, she know He had hero complex when It came to her, but Cage is not in-love with her, sure Cage love her but not that kind of love, and even though He keeps on saying that He will marry Low, it didn't matter. It was never that kind of love.

Then then, there's everyone else, from Low's Sister, Low's niece, Marcus' mother and Marcus's sister and Marcus's Half sister.

I had to summarize this one, So someone got Low's sister pregnant, a married man. who turns out to be Marcus's dad; I know! but I mean it you must Must! read Because of Low! Grab it NOW!

Willow was irritating and Marcus was OK, I enjoyed seeing Cage in all his glory :)

Original review at Gabic Reads

Ever since Breathe, everybody's been wondering "What about Marcus? Where's his happy ending?" I instantly fell in love with Willow. She's so sweet and innocent despite her earlier life. She struggles to go through life waiting tables and taking care of her niece. Marcus was sweet, as always, and I loved being able to finally get in his head. Cage was cool, too, and I can't wait to read his story, While It Lasts (August 2012). I love Abbi Glines' novels.

Some typos, but I could over look this because Marcus was, well, I think I may have fallen in love with the lug. :P Willow...Oh she's so sweet. LOVE this!

This is an amazing read. This continues the story of Marcus, who worked with Sadie at Jax Stone's summer house. It follows him and how he falls in love with Low. The chemistry between Marcus and Willow (aka Low) is amazing. It is a very special love. I felt bad for Marcus in this book because he had a lot of family problems. Also, I felt bad for Low because she thought she can only rely on one person in her life, and that was Cage. I really thought Cage was interesting as well. He was sweet at times, even though he was a manwhore. I can't wait to finish the series! Overall, an incredible read.

OMIGOD! Because of Low has just made it onto my list of favourite books of 2012!

My Thoughts:

1. *tries to think of any negatives..* Nope, can't be done.
2. Abbi Glines has just gained a new fan. I'll never leave my room until I finished all of Glines' novels.
3. Just when I think I couldn't love Marcus more after Breathe, he had me swooning for him in Because of Low. Despite the fact that he (on more than one occasion) does stupid things, who can stay mad at him with those green eyes. *faints*
4. Unlike the sweet romance in Breathe, Because of Low is downright sexy and steamy.
5. I'm interested to read about Cage's story next. I wonder which girl will be able to tame his player personality?
6. Such a fun read. I wouldn't say that it's light-hearted, it was definitely an emotional rollercoaster.
