Because of Low

I actually enjoyed this one a lot more than Breathe. I think it is because I could relate more to the two characters (Marcus and Low) more than Jax and Sadie. This series is still your typical New Adult romance and is beyond predictable and cheesy at times, but they are great when you are in the mood for some fluffy romance. I've been reading a lot of fantasy and dense books lately, so I flew through this lighter read.

I definitely cannot wait to start the next book where we get to see Cage. I also really hope we get to see more of the other couples as we move through this series. Sadie and Jax had a few appearances but not as many as I would have liked. But the cast of characters in this series is huge so I understand why it focuses almost entirely on the main couple.

Low has been through so much. People are always leaving her which makes it hard for her to open up and trust anyone. She only trust Cage and that's because he's been her best friend and rock since they were little kids and he's never once let her down. But then she starts to find herself wanting to trust Marcus, even though she knows people like Marcus don't get with girls like Low. Lower class. But even though she feels that way she can't help but want to be with him. Low is such a nice girl especially when you compare her to her gold digging sister. Her sister is horrible and unfortunately the only family Low has besides her niece whom her sister neglects a lot. Her sister obviously only cares about herself and her daughter is an afterthought. Thank goodness Low cares too much about her niece to let her sister get away with it.

Marcus is perfection. He's a good guy and I love books about good guys getting the girl. I didn't read the first book in the series where Marcus first made an appearance but I know that he got his heart broken after the girl he wanted didn't return the feelings. But thankfully in this book he's over her and isn't even remotely interested in her. People automatically try to make Marcus seem like some rich kid who's never had a care in the world but he couldn't be more the opposite. Yes he's rich but he's been surviving on his own since he graduated high school. And now his family just got torn apart. I loved the way Marcus feels the need to help everyone and the way he treats his mother and sister. He's so considerate, thoughtful, and loyal I couldn't think of a guy more deserving for a happy ending then him. Of course, even though I think he's perfect he's actually not which means he makes a couple mistakes that came dangerously close to ruin his relationship with Low.

A lot of people didn't like Cage and disliked that he was such a man whore but I actually liked Cage. He may be a man whore but he cares very deeply for Low and puts her above everything else. His idea that he would marry Low one day was ridiculous but I understand that he's just scared to lose her. Cage seems like one of those guys who sleep around because they think something like love is out of reach for them. I can tell he has some serious issues and a bad childhood so I'm really looking forward to reading his book.

So much drama unfolds in this book and I honestly felt unsure how this book would end. Marcus and Low's relationship has it's high and low points and those steamy moments they shared throughout the book aren't leaving my mind anytime soon. I've never read anything from Abbi Glines but I'm definitely going to check out more of her books. Because of Low was amazing and I'd recommend this to all contemporary lovers.
