--------------------------------------------------------

One event—the death of Ben Turner—will forever change the lives of a group of young adults. Set in the beach town of Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina, this series is an emotional, surprising, sweet, romantic collection of 4 interconnected stand-alone novels.

Book 1: KILL DEVIL HILLS 
Noah is determined to escape his past and keep his life under control. Then he saves the life of his best friend’s little sister, Georgina Turner — who is battling her own demons. He can't get her out of his head, even if Georgina tears down the emotional walls he so carefully built.

The Review  5 STARS

This book has been really well written and covers a subject that can be difficult to write about, let alone read about. However i think that the author covered the topic of almost suicide really well and compassionately.

Georgina is a troubled young woman who after the death of her only brother, took things very hard, but it is her oldest sisters best friend Noah that finds her.

Noah also has his own issues of anxiety in which he often ends up cleaning to calm himself down. However after the sucicide attempt, Noah can't get Georgina out of her mind, and when she comes back he finds that he still cannot get her out of his head.

The chemistry between the two starts from the very night that she is back home and they both compliment each other and end up being just the person each needs to get over their ordeals and to just feel themselves and comfortable again.
Two really well thought out and written characters.


Book 2: CHANGING TIDES 
For years Ellie Turner's had a crush on television actor, Nate West. But it doesn't matter because Ellie's always strictly been into women and Nate doesn't exist in real life. In real life Ellie has her own issues to worry about. So when the pair meets on an airplane, nothing life changing should have come from it.

The Review  4 STARS
I actually really liked this book, although i would say Ellie is bisexual and not a lesbian.

I was glad that Ellie gets a story, however, changing her sexual orientation may be taken badly by other readers and I'm not sure how real this seems. 

I loved that Ellie stayed true to the person that she is and that she gave as good as she got back to Nate, but i think that she gave in a little too easily and there was not enough in regards to mixed feelings as to why this was the only man that she felt any attraction too.
I look forward to reading the rest of this series.


Book 3: PULLED UNDER 
When Sydney Michaels' lifelong crush—Ben Turner—died and she struggled to get through her grief, she decided to give up her virginity to Rhett Morgan, the most promiscuous guy in town, in hopes that he'd be the ultimate distraction. Only problem...Sydney only wanted one night. Rhett wants more.

The Review  4 STARS
Rhett is your typical man whore, however a second encounter with shy a first Sydney has him changing his ways as he o-so-fast falls in love with her wanting to change his ways and have his first proper girlfriend.

Sydney has always had a crush on Ben Turner and twice in a row she has used Rhett to help get over the feeling. At the end you certainly think that Ben is a tool and needs to sort himself out.
Rhett sometimes acts a little wet or a little too emotional and a little immature for his age, Sydney however does not give him enough credit.

Glad they end up together, but i can't wait for Ben's story and to find out why he did what he did and who he falls in love with to turn his life around for.


Book 4: ADRIFT 
Ben Turner is back! After unsuccessfully faking his own death, he's back home in Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina. With no plans for college or the future, and hated by the town that once loved him, Ben feels like he’s drowning. Until he meets the girl next door, and she changes everything.

Recommended for readers 18+ due to sexy scenes, explicit language, and adult themes.

The Review  5 STARS
We start to get to know Ben a little bit before in books two and three in the series, but this can be read as a stand alone book.

The book takes place well after Ben's return from the dead. He has completed his sentence in Prison and is now on probation.

Juniper feels that her past life choices have made her weak and that her judgement of men is off, but a simple white lie has her pretending to be someone she is not in order to make a new life for herself.

Ben and Juniper have chemistry from the beginning, but with their pasts are slow to start things up with each other, however they find that it is only with each other can they relax and be more of themselves.

We get to see all of the other previous characters in tis book which help out when required showing a strong family bond.

I really liked this book and would be more than happy to read this series all over again.
