Abbi Glines is a #1 New York Times, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal bestselling author of the Rosemary Beach, Smoke, Sea Breeze, Vincent Boys, Field Party and Existence 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 she now lives in New England and that's as close as it is going to get. 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, watching Netflix and all the introverted stuff.
You can connect with Abbi online in several different ways. She uses social media to procrastinate.
“I wanted to live. For the father and brother who I never knew and for my mother who was cheated of a life of happiness. I wanted to live for them. And I wanted to live for me.”
“Were you already here?" he asked."Yeah.""Didn't you just bring her home from work two hours ago?""Yeah."Tripp chuckled and shook his head. "Did you even leave?""No.”
“When you get inside go change into something loose and baggy. And for all that's holy, please wear panties and a bra.”
“She was crazy. I could be too. It was my greatest fear, that I'd snap one day too. Just like she had. I wanted to live life because if that day came I wanted to have lived once.”
“Identifying pain in others was easy for me. I was drawn to it in some strange perverse way.”
“I am in awe of the things you've been put through and the fact you can still light up a room when you walk in. When I look at you I see life. I see joy. I see my future.”
“Anyone who meets you and doesn't want to get to know you and be part of your life is stupid. I saw it when I was just a kid.""No. You thought I was a vampire and you wanted to be my friend so I wouldn't eat you.""Well, that too. But I found out soon enough you weren't a blood sucker and I still licked you.”
“Is she forever for you then? She's worth throwing it all away?""She's it. No one else. She's all I'm ever going to want.”

No matter what that old man of yours tells you,love is real.I'd have never had the success in my life without the women right there.She's been my backbone.She's been my reason for everything I've ever done.One day your drive to make a name for yourself will begin to drift away. It won't be that important anymore.But when you're doing it for someone else, someone you would move heaven and earth for then you never lose the desire to succeed.I can't imagine this world without her in it.I don't ever want to.”
“There is someone out there that will love you.They'll want you for you.Don't settle for less.Life is short and I'm tired of wasting it”

“Not everyone sees you the way you do. Sometimes our imperfections are what makes us special. - Tripp”

“We had our thing. It is a really good memory but now we're older. Things change.”
“I just bared my soul to you and all I get is an ‘okay’?”
“Your instant reaction to being scared is to pull out a gun on someone? Damn girl, where are you from? Most girls I know squeal or some shit like that.”
“Hiciste un pequeño sonido en tu sueño como si estuvieras angustiada y entre en pánico y corrí a tu lado. Me agarraste del brazo durante tu sueño y la pusiste contra tu cara y volviste a dormir. No quería moverme nunca.— Se puso de pie y se acercó a mi.—Supe entonces que nunca había comprendido lo que los humanos llamaban amor. Pero que si se trataba de algo parecido al poder que tu tuviste en mi, entonces no era de extrañar que lo buscaran tan apasionadamente.”
“Estaba feliz de verme. No le sonreía a él. Me sonreía a mi.”
“—Cada momento que ha pasado contigo será borrado de sus recuerdos. No recordará su encuentro con La Muerte ni a tí rompiendo las reglas para salvarla. no recordará luchar por ti. No recordará la maldición que sufrió mientras estaba bajo el hechizo del espíritu vudú. Todo será lavado.Si la quieres, Dankmar, entonces tienes que ganar su corazón del alma creada para ser su compañero. Sólo entonces será posible que puedas tenerla para siempre. Ella debe pasar esta prueba. —La Deidad.—Confía en mí, Dank Walker sólo tengo ojos para ti.”
“La expresión de su rostro me dio ganas de ir comprarle cinco ordenadores portátiles y todo lo que ella quería”
“I could never be what she wanted. She thought I was like Cage and the right girl could tame me. It wasn't about that. I didn't need taming. I needed fucking saving.”
“Eres mía ahora. Mientras camines en la Tierra me perteneces. Nada puede hacerte daño. —Oí un toque de humor en su voz. —Es prácticamente imposible hacer daño a lo que la Muerte protege.”
“Sabía que no podía decir las palabras que él quería oír. Leif era especial para mí, pero no lo quería, al menos no de la forma en que él me quería a mí”
“Tú eres lo único que más quiero en el mundo, sin embargo lo único que no puedo tener. Porque tenerte completamente sería imposible. No puedes ir donde yo voy.”
“—Ella no significa nada para mí. —La voz de Dank envió un hormigueo por mi cuello y en mi pecho—. Nunca te mentiría, Pagan. —dijo, con urgencia, contra mi oreja. Abrí los ojos para mirar hacia él, con ganas de ver el azul de sus ojos. Sus labios rozaron la punta de mi oreja e hizo un sendero hasta mi cara. Ambas manos se apoderaron de mi cintura tirando de mí con fuerza, contra su cuerpo—. Tú me tientas. No puedo caer en la tentación.No estoy hecho para ser tentado pero, Pagan Moore, me tientas. Desde el momento en que vine por ti me atrajiste. Todo acerca de ti... —Una de sus manos que se posaba en la parte izquierda de mi cintura, se trasladó hasta acariciar suavemente mi brazo—. Tú me vuelves loco de necesidad. De deseo. No lo entendía al principio. Pero ahora lo sé. Es tu alma llamándome. Las almas no significan nada para mí. No se supone que deban. Pero la tuya se ha convertido en mi obsesión. —Bajó la cabeza a mi hombro y me besó en la curva de mi cuello. Su mano se movió por debajo de mi camisa y el calor de la palma de su mano descansaba sobre mi vientre desnudo. Un pulso de calor se apoderó de mí y me apretó fuertemente contra él para que no me cayera—. Quiero matar a ese chico cada vez que veo sus manos sobre ti. —Besó el camino hasta mi cuello y arqueé mi cuello en respuesta a darle un mejor acceso. Nada se había sentido así. Su tacto era como una droga—. Quiero arrancar los brazos de su cuerpo para que no te pueda tocar de nuevo. —Un gruñido bajo, familiar vibraba en mi espalda—. Pero no puedo tenerte, Pagan. No estás hecha para mí. —Su voz sonaba torturada. Quería consolarlo. Él me reclamó también. De alguna manera, había entrado en mi mundo y se había convertido en el centro del mismo.”
“—Realmente no hago todo lo de la cosa de rockero. Sinceramente, ni siquiera tengo una pista de lo que canta o la banda en la que está.Leif besó la parte superior de mi cabeza. —Me gustaría que la estrella del rock hubiera escuchado eso. —Pareció relajarse a mi lado.—Eso no es cierto, Pagan. Tú disfrutas de tu pequeño concierto privado cada noche mientras duermes.”
“¿Qué? ¿No soy amigable con una fantasma que flota en mi casa y comienza a tocarme? Bueno, disculpa mi mala educación, pero esto es un poco perturbador”
“It didn't mean forever but for right now I wanted Rush to be my first. He wouldn't be my last. A stop I might never forget or get over. That was what scared me the most. Not being able to move on.”
“Inside I knew he was meant to be the guy that taught me about life. Even if he broke my heart eventually.”
“I really wished he hadn't made me hate to read the Bible. Having it shoved down my throat all my life had made me bitter toward reading it. I believed it, but my dad had used it to his benefit too many times and ignored the parts in there that would point out his wrongs. Like judging Beau without even knowing him. That was in the Bible too.”
“You're my world. I want everyone to know. I don't know how to date so I never even thought of taking you on a date. But I can promise you right now... I will be taking you on so many damn dates that there won't be a person in this town who doesn't know I worship the ground you walk on.”
“I don't just love her, she owns me. Completely. I'd do anything for her”
“I had Lana and she was the number one player on my team”
“Did you really think I would be this excited about college if I thought I'd be leaving my girl behind?”
“Lana. I think about you every minute of every day. When I'm with you, my world is complete. When I touch you, I understand the meaning of life. When I lost you, I completely shattered. You. Own. Me.”
“If I lose you because of the blind idiot I've been then I will be the one who is destroyed”
“The fact I want...no, I need for us to be exclusive until we part ways when we head off to college”
“I missed you so much, he replied in a more serious tone”
“Don't. Please, just let me hold you a little bit longer," he mumbled into my hair”
“My forgiving you doesn't make my heart hurt less. It takes awhile to heal.”
“This is new for me. I'm learning how to have a realtionship with someone other than Ashton. I made a horrible mistake. It was like a relapse. But you," I reached up and tucked the tear dampened hair that had worked its way loose behind her ear. "You touch a place inside of me that Ashton never did. I feel things with you I never felt for her. I loved her for a very long time. I can't help the fact I still want to be there if she needs me. Next time there is a choice to make it will be you I choose first. I can promise you that.”
