Never Too Far: A Rosemary Beach Novel (The Rosemary Beach Series) Synopsis: Our relationship had been short. Intense and brief.

Just when Blaire allowed herself to fall for her stepbrother, Rush, he revealed a life-altering secret so devastating that she couldn’t forgive him. Unable to face him again, Blaire leaves the promise of true love behind in Rosemary Beach and returns to the comforts of her small town in Alabama, wanting nothing more than to put the summer behind her.

Something Yellow Synopsis: It has been thirteen years since Holly’s nine-year-old sister, Rachel, disappeared without a trace. It has been thirteen years since Holly left her hometown. It has been thirteen years since Holly’s first love and high school boyfriend, Houston, was the only suspect. Now another nine-year-old girl has disappeared.  Holly is back, and so is Houston—never charged and still proclaiming his innocence. Can she trust him . . . should she trust him? Review: Something Yellow is a hard one for me to rate. It was very well written, but the story was missing something. It was a good read though. The cover makes it look like a nice story. Maybe some high school kids meet and fall in love in the flowers or something. I mean I understand why the field of flowers are there now, but it is so upbeat it doesn't prepare you for the pretty depressing story that it is. Not that I minded that. I actually really enjoy sad depressing stories...
