About The Vincent Boys

Get seduced by a sizzling account of attraction and betrayal in this previously self-published phenomenon.

Ashton is getting tired of being good, of impressing her parents and playing ideal girlfriend to Sawyer Vincent. Sawyer is perfect, a regular Prince Charming, but when he leaves town for the summer, it’s his cousin Beau who catches Ashton’s eye. Beau is the sexiest guy she’s ever seen, and even though he’s dangerous, Ashton is drawn to him.

Beau loves his cousin like a brother, so the last thing he wants to do is make a move on Sawyer’s girl. Ashton is off-limits, absolutely. That’s why he does his best to keep his distance, even though he’s been in love with her forever. When Ashton wants to rekindle their childhood friendship in Sawyer’s absence, Beau knows he should say no.

Ashton and Beau don’t want to hurt Sawyer. But the more they try to stay away from each other, the more intense their urges become. It’s getting way too hard to resist....

The Vincent Boys is in stores now! The sequel to The Vincent Boys, The Vincent Brothers will be released December 18, 2012.

About the author
Abbi Glines can be found hanging out with rockstars, taking out her yacht on weekends for a party cruise, sky diving, or surfing in Maui. Okay maybe she needs to keep her imagination focused on her writing only. In the real world, Abbi can be found hauling kids (several who seem to show up that don’t belong to her) to all their social events, hiding under the covers with her MacBook in hopes her husband won’t catch her watching Buffy on Netflix again, and sneaking off to Barnes and Noble to spend hours lost in the yummy goodness of books.

 The Vincent Boys is a seductive story of attraction and betrayal. This November, the Vincent boys are helping us remember the guys who have both stolen and broken our hearts.

 Regular readers of this blog might know by now that I just love boys in books.  From Adrian Ivashkov (Vampire Academy) to  Etienne St. Clair (Anna and the French Kiss), my book crush boys are many and varied  - I even have a whole Pinterest board dedicated to Books With The Best Boys - Check it out!  But, if there's one book boy who fits my real life 'type' to a tee (I totally have a type!) It's Noah Shaw (The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer),often referred to as Noah Shaw OMFG! by me. As in Noah Shaw. IN. A. Tux. OMFG. Hot, hot, hot!!

I totally need to get a t-shirt emblazoned with the words 'I lost my heart to Noah Shaw,' and here's why:






The guy above is actor Luke Grimes, whose picture I stumbled across while doing a little research for my NaNoWriMo project. (Yes, it was all in the name of research!)  I think he fits Noah to a tee!  Noah is presented to us as a bad boy, and kind of an ass,  but like all the best bad boys, there's so much more to Shaw than meets the eye. He's a guy with so many layers.  A man of mystery, if you like.  He's got bad habits (He smokes, he sleeps around, so we're told) and yet he's got the warmest heart (He loves animals - and that's always a major plus point, in my opinion!). Noah is drop dead gorgeous, but he usually looks like he's just fallen out of bed with dishevelled hair and a permanent shadow of stubble on his face.  He could care less about school, but he lives in a world of books, and he has a vocabulary that will make you go weak at the knees.  For real.  Noah is smart, really smart and he uses his smart mouth to great effect, like here:

“Have you kissed many boys before?" he asked quietly.
His question brought my mind back into focus. I raised an eyebrow. "Boys? That's an assumption."
Noah laughed, the sound low and husky. "Girls, then?"
"No."
"Not many girls? Or not many boys?"
"Neither," I said. Let him make of that what he would.
"How many?"
"Why—"
"I am taking away that word. You are no longer allowed to use it. How many?"
My cheeks flushed, but my voice was steady as I answered. "One."
At this, Noah leaned in impossibly closer, the slender muscles in his forearm flexing as he bent his elbow to bring himself nearer to me, almost touching. I was heady with the proximity of him and grew legitimately concerned that my heart might explode. Maybe Noah wasn't asking. Maybe I didn't mind. I closed my eyes and felt Noah's five o' clock graze my jaw, and the faintest whisper of his lips at my ear.
"He was doing it wrong.” 

― Michelle Hodkin, The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer  

*FAINTS*


Noah can be romantic too.  If you haven't already you need to check out The Evolution of Mara Dyer and what I like to refer to as "The Tux Scene!" So, so, so, so hot!






“This was the boy I loved. A little bit messy. A little bit ruined. A beautiful disaster. Just like me.”

― Michelle Hodkin, The Evolution of Mara Dyer

 

But, wait! If Luke as Noah doesn't float your boat, here are some back up choices.  And this time I've picked British actors, because, if you didn't know, Noah has a British accent. 




Ah, Douglas Booth.  Usually this guy is too clean-shaven for Noah, but here he looks just right.

I couldn't leave out Rob.  He is *the* perfect Noah, don't you think?


 I'm hoping that The Vincent Boys will provide me with more boys to add to my ever growing book crush list! Will I be Team Sawyer or Team Beau? I can't wait to find out!

  2. Great post, I love it!  Beau Vincent is my book boyfriend that all the others get compared to.  Then there is Jackson from Madly, Daemon from the Lux series, I love the guys from Abbi's Sea Breeze series to.

  3. I love the sound of Vincent Boys. It definitely sounds like a guilty pleasure.  I'll have to check it out. 
    Regarding my book crushes, my classic book crush is Mr. Darcy, of course. But my YA book crush would have to be Conrad from Han's Summer series or Dimitri from Vampire Academy. And I agree- Noah Shaw is up there along with St. Clair. *swoon* Thanks for this great post and giveaway, Leanna!

  4. One of my favorite book crushes is Ash from the Iron Fey series.

    ReplyDelete
  6. I have lots of book crushes, but I'd have to say Caleb Jacobson from Significance by Shelly Crane tops my list. He's soo sweet!

    ReplyDelete
  7. Curse you Leanne - you FORCED me to buy it :p

    ReplyDelete
  8. NOAH!!!!! He sits atop my list of fictional boys as well Leanna, followed closely by Kaidan Rowe. He's just so layered. No matter how much I think I've learned about him, I know there's infinitely more he's refusing to show me just yet. Cannot. Get. Enough!

  9. My number one book crush? Ugh. I have so many. I usually fall for the funny types. Like, Seth, Daemon, Adrian, and Jace but I think there might be one guy that blows them all away and that's Tristian from Anew. I swoon over that boy like crazy. Lol He cracked a few jokes in Anew that made me lol but mostly he's a tortured old soul that loves scarlet more than anything. He'd die for her and that pulls at my heart strings. :) I cant wait for the day they can actually be together.

    Cute idea. I might be needing this soon. Ha ha.

    I crush on Noah from Pushing the Limits.... but Beau sounds like my kind of book boy as well!!!

    ReplyDelete
  15. I pictured Rob Pattinson the whole time I read Mara. Still need to read the sequel.  You just made my day with these scrumptious boys! Drooling on the laptop here. I love the new Vincent Boys covers.  I think I liked the Vincent Brothers just a little better than the Vincent Boys. Lana and Sawyer's story was lovely and HOT! Thanks for the giveaway! :)

    ReplyDelete
  16. Way to many book crushes but if I had to pick I'd say Will from the Infernal Devices series

    ReplyDelete
  28. I have a loooot of book crushes because fictional characters are so awesome! But if I have to choose between Beau and Sawyer, I'd choose Beau <3

    ReplyDelete
  29. I have so many but I really loved Philip from That Boy and Seth from Unlovable!

    ReplyDelete
  30. Swoons. I couldn't have chosen a better first choice for Noah Leanna! I'm especially loving the pic of him with the cigarette hanging out of his mouth. It's all sorts of sexy if you ask me. I must say I'm seriously considering the idea of buying the US version of Evolution of Mara, because the UK version is coming out so late.You've definitely piqued my curiosity with your mention of Noah in a Tux. That has to be all sorts of yum. On another note, I totally want to read The Vincent Boys - I've been seeing some rave reviews for the books. Great post Leanna!

    I read the vincent boys at the beginning of this year and totally fell in love with Abbi Glines' writing. The story, though not necessarily a new concept, kept me engaged and I couldn't help but fall for Beau. I also read the Vincent Brothers this summer and though it was also good, I much preferred the first one in the series.

    ReplyDelete
  33. My number one boy crush is a toss up between Day in Legend by Marie Lu and Noah Hutchins in Pushing the Limits.  

    ReplyDelete
  34. I love Abbi Glines and ALL of her books!  Dying to read The Vincent Brothers!

    ReplyDelete
  35. My book crush is Bones from the Night Huntress Series!

    ReplyDelete
  36. My top book crush is a toss up between Lucas from Easy & Beau from The Vincent Boys!

    ReplyDelete
  41.  Me too! :)

    ReplyDelete
  42.  Oooh - nice picks!

    ReplyDelete
  43. It's worth investing in a US copy JUST for that Tux scene!

    ReplyDelete
  44.  OMG yes! I LOVE that guy! So hot!!

    ReplyDelete
  45.  Noah from PTL is a great guy! I haven't read Legend yet. Must get to that one soon!

    ReplyDelete
  46. My all-time book crush (cliche, I know) would have to be Mr. Darcy. What can I say, I'm an old-fashioned kind of girl ;)

    ReplyDelete
  47. Well i have a lot of book crushes! But my first was Jace from Mortal Instruments, Ahhhhhh!! Love him still and so excited for the movie!
    I've read both Vincent Boys and Brothers and loved them both, gotta say that I have a soft spot for Beau! 

    ReplyDelete
  48. This is a hard one! From Abbi's books it would be between Beau and Dank. A book crush from way back would be Noah in The Notebook. I have also read all of Abbi's books and I love all of them. Highly recommend them ALL!
