The Vincent Brothers

"The Vincent Brothers" is the second book in Abbi Glines's Vincent Boys duology, picking up after the events of "The Vincent Boys." Lana Croft has spent her entire adolescence in the shadow of her glamorous, controlling cousin Ashton, and now that Ashton has broken up with longtime golden-boy Sawyer Vincent, Lana finally has her chance to win the heart of the boy she has loved from a distance. The complication: Sawyer might be paying attention to her only because he knows it will get back to Ashton.

Glines built the Vincent duology as her breakout new-adult title — the books that put her on the genre map alongside Jamie McGuire and Colleen Hoover. The small-town Alabama setting, the love-triangle stakes, and the first-person interior voice that defined her later Rosemary Beach and Sea Breeze series are all present in earlier form here.

The audience is new-adult and adult romance readers who came of age on Beautiful Disaster and Slammed and want more of the same emotional register. The duology reads in order — Lana's resentment of Ashton, and Sawyer's history with her, both depend on the first book. Recommended as a self-contained entry point to Glines's broader catalog.
