Abandon: A Seaside Pictures Novella Kindle Edition

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Rachel Van Dyken comes a new story in her Seaside Pictures series…

It’s not every day you're slapped on stage by two different women you've been dating for the last year.

I know what you're thinking. What sort of ballsy woman gets on stage and slaps a rockstar? Does nobody have self-control anymore? It may have been the talk of the Grammy's.

Oh, yeah, forgot to mention that. I, Ty Cuban, was taken down by two psychotic women in front of the entire world. Lucky for us the audience thought it was part of the breakup song my band and I had just finished performing. I was thirty-three, hardly ready to settle down.

Except now it's getting forced on me. Seaside, Oregon. My band mates were more than happy to settle down, dig their roots into the sand, and start popping out kids. Meanwhile I was still enjoying life.

Until now. Until my forced hiatus teaching freaking guitar lessons at the local studio for the next two months. Part of my punishment, do something for the community while I think deep thoughts about all my life choices.

Sixty days of hell.

It doesn't help that the other volunteer is a past flame that literally looks at me as if I've sold my soul to the devil. She has the voice of an angel and looks to kill—I would know, because she looks ready to kill me every second of every day. I broke her heart when we were on tour together a decade ago.

I'm ready to put the past behind us. She's ready to run me over with her car then stand on top of it and strum her guitar with glee.

Sixty days. I can do anything for sixty days. Including making the sexy Von Abigail fall for me all over again. This time for good.

Damn, maybe there’s something in the water.

**Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you'll enjoy each one as much as we do.**

So much goodness in this story!

Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2019

I am such a fan of Rachel Van Dyken it isn't even funny. It doesn't matter if it is a full-length novel or a novella like Abandon, she always gives you a fantastic story, with all the feels and you finish the book looking forward to the next adventure she's going to take you on!

Ty Cuban is the drummer for the band Adrenaline and he's had a rough few months. In order to make amends, he heads to help with a summer music camp. Little does he know that the woman who broke his heart a decade ago is also going to be teaching at this camp. Did I mention she's the one he's never gotten over?

Abigail lost as much a decade ago as Ty did. She was feeling anything but secure in their relationship and much of the blame was placed squarely on the fact that his band was about to take off. She felt the best thing she could do for herself was leave, but it also tore her apart.

When the two are forced to be in close quarters while in Seaside for the music camp, emotions are heightened and the explosive nature of their relationship is showcased front and center. There is so much turmoil, hurt, anger and love all wrapped up in what they are feeling, it's hard to keep up with the swinging emotions.

While this might be a novella, there is so much goodness packed into this short story. It's always great when we get to go back to Seaside, Oregon to visit!

Abandon (Seaside Pictures #3.6) was a great read by Rachel Van Dyken. Ty Cuban was on stage with his band when two woman slapped him. Thry just happened to be the two women hes been dating for the last year. They were lucky enough that the audience thought it was a part of the song they finished performing. He is now being forced to settle down a bit in Seaside, Oregon. He is being forced to take a hiatus and teach guitar lessons for the next two months. His old flame, Von Abigail, is there with him. She isnt ready to forgive him for their past. I enjoyed reading this book and cant wait to read more by the author.

Once again Rachel Van Dyken delivered another heartwarming addition to the Seaside Pictures Series.

Abandon by Rachel Van Dyken is a fun, angsty, and heartwarming second chance romance .

Ty Cuban, bad boy rocker, has been spiraling downward ever since he had his heart broken years ago by Von Abigail. After a disaster at the grammy’s, his bandmates force him to take a rated G break at a Rock Camp for kids in Seaside, Oregon. He’s looking forward to a little down time and a break from his own antics. It’s a chance to get back to the basics of music and a re-discover his passion. He thought he would find his passion through his music and his peace through sharing his skills with the kids but fate had another scenario in mind for him. Von Abigail is working at the camp and turning his world upside down once again. She broke him once and he will never allow her that much power in his life. Who is he fooling, his heart has other ideas.

When Abigail finds herself without a place to stay she has to turn to Ty. She knows he hates her but she also knows he’s a stand up guy with a good heart. Surely they can call a truce for two months.

Abigail and Ty are residing under the same roof and so far Seaside, Oregon hasn’t went up in flames. Maybe they can get through the animosity and find the love they both were determined to extinguish years ago. They both had their issues and have learned from the hard knocks in life. They have both grown up and are adults. They just have to let go of it all, abandon the past.

The Seaside gang is there to play their parts in being cupid. The dishwashers won’t get fixed, marshmallows are still a food group, the birds are still just as frightening, and the gang is still meddling, Their group text are going strong and their seaside interventions are working. They still have other tricks up their sleeves for their stubborn friends. They want Ty and Abigail to have the same kind of happiness they have found in their lives. They just have to convince them to Abandon their past and open their hearts for a new beginning. Ty and Abigail deserve a happily ever after.

Once again Rachel Van Dyken delivered another heartwarming addition to the Seaside Pictures Series. I thoroughly enjoyed reading Abandon.

Worth every show stopping moment! Flawless

I adore Seaside so I couldn’t wait for this book!
Ty and Abigail tugged on my heart strings and did not let go the entire story. Their journey was a rough one and the angst was high but it was worth every show stopping moment! I either held my breath, yelled at them or my heart bursted with joy. I was happy to see the crew back as well as they lightened the load with humor and friendship. Plus, I missed them. This book is full of drama, passion, pain and so much love. Rachel has written a flawless story that reminds you everyone feels abandoned and alone at some point, but sometimes things happen so you end up right where you were meant to be!

Love Rachel Van Dyken's World of Rock

Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2019

Verified Purchase

Abandon is a wonderful addition to the Seaside world that Rachel has created. Members of a rock band are growing up and now that they are older they are ready to put aside the drugs, drink and women and settle down to family life. Ty and Abagail had come close 10 years before but her family history hadn't allowed her to beleive that he could be faithful.
Now, together in Seaside, they are thrown together at a Music Camp with other band mates and friends. Can they get over the past to form a new future? This is the best kind of Rachel Van Dyken story - lots of angst with tons of love.
