TITLE: When I'm Gone
AUTHOR: Abbi Glines
SERIES: Rosemary Beach #11
DATE OF PUBLICATION: April 7, 2015
I had an urge to fix all her problems. Which was stupid. She was doing fine without me. But something about those big eyes…
Mase Colt-Manning has always preferred his humble life as a Texas rancher to his birthright as the son of a legendary rock star. In fact, he rarely visits his father’s rarefied world in Rosemary Beach, especially if it means bunking at his vile half-sister Nan’s house—until one visit leads to a chance encounter with a young, gorgeous house maid who awakens him with her off-key but spirited imitation of a country music star…
Reese Ellis finally has her freedom. After escaping a lifetime of abuse from her parents and classmates for an undiagnosed learning disorder, she seizes the opportunity to be a house maid to some of the richest families in Rosemary Beach. But her job is in jeopardy when she causes an accident at the home of her most important client, Nan Dillon. When a hot, half-naked stranger with a cowboy’s swagger comes to her rescue, she’s intrigued—then afraid once he shows his own interest. Reese has never met a trustworthy man in her life. Will Mase be any different?

I have a piece of advice to every one of you who will start reading When I’m Gone:
pick a comfortable position because you won’t be leaving that spot
until you finish this book, possibly even after a few minutes (or an
hour) upon closing the book. It has a multi-bookgasmic effect where you just lay limp and unsure what to do with your life after it.
“I’m broken. You don’t have to settle for broken.”
Reese
Ellis will do all measures to keep her freedom. After successfully
escaping a nightmare of a past, she finally found solace at Rosemary
Beach. But things were not turning out the way she expected when she
stumbled upon what appeared to be her life’s greatest distraction,
clothed in nothing but bed sheets...
Reese was a heartbreaker. Her character was so poignant, beautiful, and so painfully real. But even if her past was a clawing tale, she never appeared to be a weak heroine. She was clothed with strength, determination, fortitude, and made more touching by her pure heart. Abbi Glines made a beautiful contrast with Reese’s character. For me, she had the perfect amount of strength and vulnerability.

The little bit of my heart that I thought I still had possession of fled. Mase Manning now had it all.
Mase
Colt-Manning didn’t like complications. Especially if it involved women
clinging to him for dear life. But when he went to Rosemary Beach for a
visit and was awakened by the off-key voice of the cleaning woman, he
was enthralled. He knew that instant that this woman was going to be a
complication but what he didn’t know was that he was going to love every
bit of it...and her.
Mase was a beautiful masterpiece. Every bit of him was sewn to make every kind of woman fall in love with him. He was all male but he possessed this gentleness that wasn’t forced but was innate and natural to his personality. And I loved it that Reese seems to inspire that further. Mase is probably one of the most beautifully constructed heroes that I’ve ever read about. Abbi Glines created the man every woman deserves. I mean you can never go wrong with a guy who gets pissed over his girl not wanting stitches after getting her hand sliced by broken mirrors. ;)

She was my one.
From
the beginning of the story, the connection between Mase and Reese was
already so well-established. It was immediately felt that Mase was made
for Reese and Reese was made for Mase. I loved it that there wasn’t even
a phase of warming up, but instead, a completely romantic experience
that made every scene more stirring and delightful.
As always, Abbi Glines' gripping writing prose made me forget everything except the continuous need to know what happens next. I devoured it in one sitting and each passing moment was a moment to remember. The storyline was flawless and the story progress was enthralling. The story isn't just romance but is rich with essential familial ties and life lessons that readers will surely relate to. Her characters are compelling, constant, and affective enough to embark themselves in every reader's mind. You can never go wrong with an Abbi Glines book. I can't wait for the other half of the story!
