Never Too Far: A Rosemary Beach Novel (The Rosemary Beach Series)

I HEART RUSH!! and I loved this book! It was just so ADDICTIVE!!! There is something about Abbi Glines' writing that makes me desperately just want more and more and more!!! Its the kind of story you can just inhale in one sitting - a quick, deliciously angsty, drama-filled romance. What made me love it was that I never once, not for one second EVER EVER EVER doubted how right Blaire and Rush were for each other, or how much they loved each other. That was clear and unwavering. That being said, they went through some pretty serious ups and downs, huge insecurities, a lot of mess ups and dysfunctionality along their road to making their relationship work. At times it was a little `much' for me, but I got the same feeling while reading this book that I get when I'm watching a really well-written TV show -- its like, I know that sometimes its just "drama" but I just eat it up! I'm not going to talk about the plot of this one at all. Its a direct continuation of book #1 (which should absolutely be read first) and the story picks up 3 weeks after the cliffhanger ending of the first one. There's a bit of a twist that I suspected from book one that plays out in this book and basically affects the whole general story line. I loved it and loved where it took the characters. The story was told in chapter-by-chapter alternating POVs so we were never left too long without understanding both sides of the story. I seriously seriously seriously love Rush. That guy just makes my heart race. He's hot, swoony, and flawed (not to mention tattooed and pierced). Just... gah! How can you not love him when he says stuff like this: "There is nothing is rather do than be near you... [I'll] take whatever the hell I can get when it comes to you... I will do anything. Anything, Blaire, just to be near you... You need me, I'm there." For the most part I really liked the way he handled things - I mean, sure he kept messing up and I wanted to grab him by the shoulders and shake him a few times but his mistakes were mostly understandable, and let me tell you, that man knew how to grovel. There was just no way you could doubt his intentions. I mean this was all new to him too - the first time he'd actually cared about someone enough to want a relationship... his first time actually falling in love. It totally warmed my heart how he was never willing to just let any of their issues go. He tried to respect her space but at the same time was always pushing to try and work through them. You could just FEEL how much he was desperately head-over-heels in love with Blaire and you just KNEW that he'd do just about anything to protect her. "Let me prove it to you. Leaving me doesn't let me prove anything. You have to stay with me, Blaire. You have to give me a chance... Trust me to protect you and put you first." My heart just plain HURT when he messed up, or when unfortunate situations lead to misunderstanding and general angst but at the same time I love the feel that it gave the story - it kept you a little worried and yet totally invested in the character's lives. "I love you, Blaire. I love you so damn much it hurts." I felt bad for Blaire because for the most part, I understood her insecurities - about not being a part of his world, being reminded of it every day and being surrounded by reasons why they wouldn't fit together. I liked that she wasn't weak - she simply had trust issues brought on by all the men in her life, in some way or another, betraying her. And given Rush's past and his family connections, it was hard for her to accept that she could actually put stock in his love for her. "She'd lost everyone in her life she'd love and trusted. Why would she believe me? The only men in her life had left her. Betrayed her. She expected nothing else... I wasn't letting anyone else hurt her." "I love her. I will stop at nothing to make sure she's safe." There is some serious hotness in this book - much like in the first one. Some of those scenes had me fanning myself! Definitely adult. And, rest easy! There is no cliffhanger at the end of this book!!! *whew* But, that being said, you are left wanting `more'. It leaves off at a happy place, but it was a bit abrupt. I would have definitely loved an epilogue or just a tiny glimpse into their future but I know there are going to be two more books in this series so, despite them not being focused on Blaire and Rush, I have high hopes of seeing more of them in the future and maybe of getting a giant swoony epilogue at the end of the whole series I absolutely LOVED this book and I would definitely recommend this series for everyone!

**“No man has ever loved a woman as much as I love you. Nothing will ever come before you.”** Rarely does a sequel to a book you’ve loved and re-read more times than you wish to admit ever live up to its high expectations – you’re afraid the plotline would be thin, the characters taken in a direction you don’t wish them to be taken, the overall ‘feeling’ of the book not as intensely or consistently pieced together. Well, you have absolutely no reason to fear any of that when it comes to this book because Abbi Glines has just helped me achieve a new level of ‘book junkie nirvana’. Never Too Far is EVERYTHING I have hoped it would be and then some. After the traumatic cliffhanger we were left with at the end of Fallen Too Far, both our beloved characters are emotional train wrecks. Blaire has run away from Rosemary and from the man she loves, and is hoping to find solace in the familiarity of her home town. She is left with nothing in life, no possessions, no plans for the future, no family that she can rely on to help her heal her shattered soul. She craves to have a family again, to feel unconditional love again, to mean something to someone. Everything she has always believed to be true has been shaken, questioned, attacked, and we find our gentle heroine heartbroken and alone. “I don’t want to be alone… but I am. And I’m scared.” Rush is battling his own demons after Blaire’s departure. For the first time in his life he has fallen in love with someone body and soul, and for the first time in his life he wants to put her well-being first, before anyone else’s, including his sister Nan’s. His last encounter with Blaire has scarred him deeply because he saw the real effects of what his family had done to her. The memory of her vacant eyes haunt him, torture him and don’t allow him to move on. His guilt for the role he played in Blaire’s heartbreak stop him from going after her again, deep down hoping she would come back to him in her own time. “She may have had enough time to deal with things. What if she does come back? What will you do?” What would I do? I’d beg. But life is not done throwing them curveballs and very soon Blaire is forced to return to Rosemary, albeit temporarily, and attempt to find her place in the world again. She leaves the safety of her past once more, trading the familiar comforts of her home town for the unknown of a world that has treated her only badly. She bravely takes control of her life and goes back to the one place that broke her. So what happens when you throw a starving man a bone? He clenches to it and never wants to let go. Blaire’s return has given Rush hope, but he is fearful of scaring Blaire off and making her run away from him again. So he threads carefully, giving her space and time, but his heart and body naturally gravitate towards her and the pull is too irresistible to fight. We see a desperate man, a man who is deeply in love with the woman before him but doesn’t know how to make her trust him again. His desperation is heart-wrenching, playing with our emotions every time we hear his voice and his most intimate thoughts about Blaire. He tries to control his emotions when he’s around her, but his every touch, glance in her direction, need to be as close to her physically as possible give them away. “I will do anything. Anything, Blaire, just to be near you. I can’t think about anything else. I can’t focus on anything.” These young lovers are faced with a reality that sets its own pace, making them aware that time is not necessarily something they can freely fritter away. Their biggest obstacle is not the love that binds them together – it is the lack of trust between them. Blaire finds it hard to trust him because all the men that meant anything to her in her life had abandoned her when she needed them the most. She expects Rush to do the same. She accepts it and considers it to be inevitable. But while Blaire might have more tangible reasons for not trusting Rush again with her heart, Rush is unconsciously distrustful of Blaire as well because he is constantly expecting her to bolt. He does not feel worthy of her and he keeps failing her because of that. “I wondered how many more times I was going to screw up before I ever got this right.” While Fallen Too Far was ‘Blaire’s book’ because we only heard her voice, Never To Far is no longer only her story. By giving us both points of view and by allowing us to hear Rush’s thoughts as well, he truly becomes ‘our’ hero. We feel for him, we understand him, we struggle with his own inner conflicts. Ms Glines has given us the perfect man to pine after and he is spectacular, inside and out. The secondary characters are developed even more this time around, we get to know them better, see what motivates their actions and fall in love with a few of them. Especially the one that is getting his own book next – Woods. This is a book about a love that is all-consuming, a devotion that is truly inspiring, a physical connection that will make your toes curl every time Blaire and Rush share a scene in the story. You will fall in love with these characters all over again and you’ll become invested in them even more. Beautifully paced, skilfully written, I loved every single delicious moment of it. **“She’s amazing. No… she’s perfect. Everything about her is ... perfect … I don’t just love her, she owns me. Completely. I’d do anything for her.”**

Abbi Glines left us with a cliffhanger in Fallen Too Far! How was I not suppose to pick up Never Too Far right away? Never Too Far picks up where Fallen Too Far left off. Blaire has found out that Rush has kept a major secret from her that involves her father's abandoment. She goes back to Sumit where she is trying to mend her broken heart. I got my heart and world shattered and came home. It has been three weeks since she said goodbye to Rush, and Blaire has been trying to move on with her life. She is still an independent, loving and caring girl but she has become tougher. Blaire encounters another situation, here pregnancy, in Never Too Far that changes her world all over again. Once again my life was about to take a sudden turn. One I wasn't prepared for. Blaire goes back to Rosemary looking for Cain, best friend/ex-boyfriend, because he has gone to talk to Rush. When Blaire arrives she realizes that Cain has left, and she decides to stay with Bethy, until she decides where she will go next. I liked Bethy in Fallen Too Far, but loved her In Never Too Far. I would love to have a friend like Bethy- crazy, fun, protective, supportive, and all a girl can ask for in a friend. Rush has heard from Jace that Blaire might come back to Rosemary, but he knows the possibilities of her moving back are slim. In Never Too Far, we see a different side of Rush that we had not seen in Fallen Too Far. He is broken from loosing Blaire and all his pint up anger has made him aggressive. I can never get enough of Rush Finley, I can seriously have an overdose of this guy lol. Lastly, I love reading from his POV :D! There was no reason to act like I was okay. Until I knew Blaire was okay, I was never going to be okay. I'd been angry, broken, and wild. When Rush first see's Blaire, he does not believe what he is seeing. Once Blaire comes back into the picture, we see the Rush we knew in Fallen Too Far. He is extremely protective of Blaire when people try to mess with her, and extremely possessive of her when other guys go near her. If I had been drinking, I'd blame it on the alcohol. It had to be an illusion, a desperate one. But I hadn't been drinking. Not a drop. There was no mistaking Blaire. It was her. There is seriously no stopping the attraction Blaire and Rush have for each other. They can try to be friends and avoid each other as much as they want, but their hearts and bodies do not understand reason. Heck, my body would not understand reason if I had Rush Finley standing in front of me! He was lethal to my emotions and good sense. Although having had her to myself all day was going to make it real hard to go back to the way it was. What I loved about Rush in Never Too Far was that he finally stood up to Nan. I seriously hated Nan in the first book, and I am still not a fan. Nan just needs to mature and remember that Blaire is not to blame for the situation she suffered as a little girl. She also needs to understand that her brother is in love with Blaire, and needs to learn to accept that. So I am glad that Rush finally puts her in her place. I didn't feel like Nan was the victim in this any longer. "You and I both know I've put you first all my life. You needed me and I was there. But we are adults now, Nan." Abbi Glines has delivered an incredible sequel to the Too Far Series. I started this book late at night, and I did not realize that it was five in the morning when I finished reading it. I was unable to put this book down. I was completely sucked into Blaire's world. I road the emotional roller coaster ride with Blaire from the very beginning through the very end. Abbi Glines delivered a story full of steam, developed characters, sorrow, happiness, heartache, betrayal, and so much more. I will definitely be reading and buying Forever Too Far :D!

Never Too Far was a great follow up to Fallen Too Far. It was a great story with good closure. That is where my review differs from many, I actually liked the ending. I will always want more of Rush and Blaire, I adore this couple. I didn't see the need for an epilogue, it was a fitting end to the series. It answered enough questions for the reader to be satisfied with the story and allow you to imagine the rest. Well done. That being said, Abbi has indicated that if readers enjoyed the books so much and wanted more she would consider writing another book. It was originally marked as a 2 book series. To that I implore, YES PLEASE!! The story picks up a few weeks where Fallen Too Far left off and from page one, there is a twist to the story that will keep you reading until the end. I will admit, I saw this coming from the first book, or I should say I hoped this was the direction I wanted the story to take. It would be a great way to force Blaire to face Rush because based on how the Fallen Too Far ended, there was few things that would get her to face him again. I love Blaire, she is sweet, strong and smart. She also has so much self doubt it is painful at times. Based on her history, it is understandable, but still hard to read. She is always waiting for the other shoe to drop. Her character is written in a way that you are desperately want a happily ever after for her. The turmoil she has faced, the pain of burying her twin as well as watching her mother die, bury her and sell everything they had together to pay the bills, she deserves to be happy. Rush...oh Rush, he is a very swoon-worthy character. "...And as for making my life difficult, you, Blaire Wynn, make my life complete." (SIGH) Who wouldn't love to hear that?!? Rush tries so hard and does such endearing things when he realizes he has messed up. You want to hug him, then other times you want to hit him. It is clear that relationships are new territory that he is trying so desperately to navigate. I never doubted the love between the two, there is a pull between that is beyond physical attraction, but with all they have come up against the true test is whether love is enough. As for the physical attraction, HOT is the first thing that comes to mind. This book does not disappoint if you are looking for a strong physical relationship that is sometimes raw, breath-taking and explosive. I can't...it is...when he...just WOW. I have no other words. This book also explored the other characters more that I just adore. Bethy, everyone needs a friend like Bethy. Someone who is pulling for you to make the right choices, but fiercely loyal to you when she thinks you have been wronged. Jace is cute and it is great to see he has still stepped up. Grant, adored him from his first scene and cannot wait to hear more about him! Then there is Woods, this is where I was on the fence after book 1. I didn't trust him completely, I felt like there was always an ulterior motive. I wasn't interested in a book about Woods (that Abbi indicated would be coming), but this book changed all of that! I liked getting to know him more and see the sincere side of him. Overall, this book should be on your must read list. If you are debating about starting the series, just stop now, there is no debate, you need to read this. I have read a few of Abbi Gline's books, these are my favorites! You will not be disappointed!

What I like about Abbi Glines is she is able to write new characters with different personalities - they aren't cookie cutter in nature- and their storylines are different...and good. I am also a HUGE fan of the "make the secondary characters the main characters in the next book" - as we see in her whole Seabreeze series. I loved Fallen Too Far all except the fact that there was no ending! just a huge "to be continued" with no wrap up! Well, Glines listened to her fans alright because this book ends on a high note and a "conclusion" but there is still plenty of wide open room for a sequel, a "to be continued", an epiloque... take your pick. and I must add this opened but closed conclusion was beautifully done. After reading other reviewers feedback, I feel the need to say.... that it's OK if you don't LIKE the characters. I, personally, think Blair is so incredibly naive and foolish and well....... unintelligent? (limited? as evidenced by her inane and somewhat embarassing lack of knowledge about pregnancy.... and taking care of yourself during pregnancy)... but the girl didn't even attend highschool and instead took care of her mother (and everyone else except herself for that matter) so this all fits beautifully with the character development of "Blaire" - similarly- the character "Rush" remained true to form throughout the book for me - and I didn't necessarily "like" him but, man, was he well done! well written! etc.... What I am saying is: the story line and plot went along with the characters and their own development within the novels- and Glines did this absolutely magnificantly. I was never bored. I was never quickly skimming paragraphs. I really enjoyed the whole ride. This included the secondary characters who we get to learn about more and more (I am personally particularly drawn to "Woods" who Glines is doing a follow-up book on- "Twisted Perfection) and we get to see more of Abe, Nan, Grant, Bethy/Jace, and new character Meg. All with their own personalities, imperfections, and faults, they are still so well-formed in Glines writting that they are believably "real" to the reader as well. Glines did a magnificient job with this novel - I highly recommend it - If you haven't read book 1 you will need to start there as these two books read into each other and need to go as a pair. You will not be disappointed. and Congrats to Mrs. Glines: No#1 on Amazon, itunes, and Barnes and Nobel - all within 24 hours of the book's release. If that isn't testament for you to purchase your copy, well then I don't know what is. Adult content, explicit language, sexual scenes.

Ummmm WOW, just Woah. That. Was. INCREDIBLE!!! Amazingly Fantastic Awesomesauce =) Loved it, Loved it, LOVED IT!! One sit read for me, finished it last night & I'm still spinning Lol AND I'm still pissed at Amazon for making us wait so damn long, although....totally worth the stress induced panic attack I've been stuck in since finishing Fallen. **may contain spoilers from 'Fallen Too Far'** "No. One. Comes. Before. You." Her eyes shimmered with unshed tears and she shook her head. I hated that she couldn't believe me. "I love you. When you walked into my life I didn't know you. Nan was my first priority. But you changed that. You changed everything. I was going to tell you but my mom came home too soon. I was so scared to death of losing you that I lost you anyway. Nothing is going to take you away from me again. I'll spend the rest of my life proving to you that I love you." We left Blaire in B1 completely brokenhearted. After the secrets of her fathers past are reveled & she finds out Rush has been lying to her, she flees Florida to head back to Alabama & sends Rush packing when he follows her. This book picks up three Weeks after that, neither one of them are handling the break-up well. One of my favorite things about this book was that the POV jumps back and fourth between Rush & Blaire. I ABSOLUTELY LOVED getting into Rush's head. "Did you just miss me or is there something you want to say to me?" I asked. Grant grinned. "I missed you. I've had to put up with Rush's sulking a**. So trust me I missed the f****n' hell outta you." Blaire has forgiven Rush, she understands why he kept things from her, but she can't forget or move on & she knows she will never be able to trust Rush again. As she's trying to claw her way out of the black-hole she's fallen into, the other shoe drops sending her entire world into a tailspin. These circumstances are the catalyst for her return to Florida. She moves in with Bethy & Woods gives her her job back for as long as she wants it. Rush can't believe she came back & though she insists it's only temporary and they can never be more than friends again, it doesn't stop him from beginning his fight to win her back by ANY means necessary. At. All. Costs. He knows what he wants & will stop at NOTHING to get it. "So all this time you thought I was ashamed of you?" I asked, knowing I didn't want to hear the answer. It was going to hurt like a motherf*****. "Not ashamed exactly. I just... I thought well, I don't fit into your world. I know that." "Blaire. Please. Stop now. I can't listen to any more." I closed the distance I'd put between us. "You're my world. I want everyone to know. I don't know how to date so I never even thought of taking you on a date. But I can promise you right now; I will be taking you on so many damn dates that there won't be a person in this town that doesn't know I worship the ground you walk on," I swore before reaching out and taking her hand. "Forgive me for being an idiot." Blaire desperately wants to believe in them, but she's terrified of being broken again. The journey for these two is a tough one, filled with angst, tears, fighting & lots of family drama. But the love between them is beautiful & sweet & so worth the fight. "Listen to me, Blaire. If you try to go anywhere I will chase you down. I will become your shadow. I won't let you out of my sight because I can't live without you. I made so many damn mistakes with you I don't even want to try to count them but I am going to start making things right from here on out. I swear to you that this won't happen again. I know now that this is where I'm supposed to be. No more lies. Just us." If I had any complaints at all it would be the ending, it seemed Kinda sudden. I would have liked an epilogue or.... I don't know, just more, ya know? Of course, it may just be that I can NEVER get enough of these two Lol.... So. Freakin. HAWT ;)

It is kind of hard for me to review the books in this series because I really do find them to be very entertaining and a fast read. They have memorable characters and enough of a driving plot to keep me reading until I find out what happens in the end. I like the books. I do. But so far I have not been able to give any book a rating above three stars. There is just too much that irritates me about the books to help them earn a higher ranking. Not everyone will have the issues that I have with the books, so not everyone will feel unhappy with the books. Just read my review and decide for yourself whether you would be interested in this book or not. Never Too Far begins with Rush and Blaire separated. Blaire is unable to "forget" Rush's actions in choosing to protect his sister over her, and she is devastated by the revelations that take place at the end of Fallen Too Far. She goes back home to Alabama where she moves in with her ex-boyfriend's Granny and tries to rebuild her life. That lasts all of a few weeks. It turns out that Blaire finds out that there are actual real-life consequences to having wild, exciting, and UNPROTECTED sex with your hottie of a boyfriend. The problem is that she currently is in the middle of some intense hurt and anger because of that guy, so she chooses to keep her new circumstances quiet. A series of circumstances arise, and Blaire conveniently finds herself living back near Rush with her friend Bethy, and Rush has the opportunity to try and win Blaire back. His struggle to regain Blaire's trust is pretty much the entirety of this novel. My thoughts: Well, I have to say that for the first three quarters of this book I was amazingly impressed with Rush. My issues with him from the first book disappeared as he worked so hard to prove his love and devotion to Blaire. He wasn't this over-sexed guy obsessed with getting her undressed. He was kind and considerate and tried to be exactly who Blaire needed him to be. If she wanted space, he gave her space. If she needed help, he gave her help. He tried to even hold her without it turning into a wild romp in bed. Surprising, I know. He was wonderful. He did have a struggle because he loved his sister Nan, but she hated Blaire. He was trying to balance things, and when Nan couldn't get over herself he even cut her off. Rush was looking wonderful in this story. And then ... I'm sorry, but his actions at the end of this book were almost inexcusable in my mind. They were enough of a jerk move that I thought it needed a lot more than an "I'm so sorry" to fix them. Oh, how I hated Rush after this. Can he redeem himself? I'm sure. It seems like Blaire isn't going to have any issues with his actions. But I did not like what happened. So irritating. And it ruined all my good feelings for him at the beginning of the novel. Erg. I would have to say that the main problem in this book was Blaire. I hate to say it, but I really hated her in this book. She supposedly was unable to forgive Rush for his actions in the first book. I can totally understand her feelings. They made sense. It was going to take some time to get over things. She seemed to be trying to at least allow Rush to be her friend. But then, all of the sudden, everything was okay. Why? It was so abrupt, and the only thing that seemed to explain her quick change of heart was her over-sexed pregnancy hormones. That was it. After half a book of hearing her complain about Rush's actions, that didn't seem to be enough. And then, even after she allowed Rush back into her life she spent the rest of the book bemoaning her attachment to him. Did she love being his girlfriend? Oh yes! But she constantly focused on how he couldn't really love her, how he was confused about his feelings for her, how she didn't fit in his world, etc., etc., etc. She was always one step away from leaving him for the entire book. I have a hard time feeling all warm and fuzzy about a relationship where one party is constantly planning her getaway. It is unfortunate that I ended up disliking her so much in this book because I really liked her in the first book. Hopefully my feelings will change for the next book. Of all the characters in this book, I have to say that I loved Woods the most. In the first book he seemed to be the token rich guy who takes what he wants and treats girls badly. Rush was always worried about his interactions with Blaire and warned her about him. But those concerns haven't turned out to be true. Of everyone in Blaire's life, interestingly enough, Woods seems to be the one person who is constant and kind and considerate. He treats her wonderfully, even when she is choosing Rush over and over again. This never turns into a love triangle book, but there were times when I wondered why Blaire wasn't giving Woods a second look, especially when he was there when Rush was not. I'm glad to know he is getting his own story. He totally deserves it. So, yet again, I am giving another Abbi Glines book three stars even though I enjoyed reading it a lot. There is too much to irritate me to give it more, but I am continuing the series, hoping for that eventual happy ending, knowing that I will like reading the finale as much as the first two books in this series.

Okay, let me start by saying I fell in love with Fallen Too Far. Truly, I loved the book and even though I preferred Woods personally, I understood her attraction to Rush and I definitely fell for him too. I felt like that book had everything except the HEA wrapped up in a nice bow, which is why I was dying for this book to come out. I stalked Amazon like a creepy person all day long waiting for this book and silently cursed Amazon for their "server problems." Didn't they know I needed to know! All the teasers were leading me to believe she was pregnant and when she dropped the first chapter in our laps, I was seriously like a drug addict needing more... and then we got it... and now, I'm disappointed. (Queue things being thrown at me). I am so torn as to how to rate this book! So let's start with the things I did love... I loved Bethy! She's great and I love that she's moving forward and she's taken her lessons from Blaire and is sticking to them. I'm not sure how things will work out for her and Jace in the long run (based on something Rush said) but I liked that she was holding her own in that relationship. I loved the friend she was to Blaire... Bethy is just awesome! I also L-O-V-E-D Woods in this book. I adore him honestly. He truly looks out for Blaire and there is still a piece of me that wishes he had gotten the girl because I think he deserved her. "If you aren't going after her I am. She needs someone right now. As much as I don't want it to be you because I don't think you deserve her it needs to be you." Plus side, he's getting his own book and I can't wait to read that! I also loved their steamy scenes... Abbi Glines definitely turned it up a notch in this book. I'm thinking she should write a book for characters over the age of 25 because she had definitely got a way for making things H O T! I still love Rush, not as much as I loved Woods but I loved him too. I loved that she didn't try to make him perfect in this book and she let him mess up on some little things that he wouldn't normally have known because he wasn't a dating kind of guy. His mess up toward the end though drove me crazy...CRAZY! I was (and might still be) so PISSED at him! Here's some things I didn't love. There was clearly a formatting problem because the words kept running together andit was drivingme crazy (annoying right?). I'm not sure if that's Amazon or what but it was distracting while I was trying to read. I honestly didn't love Blaire in this book. I know, I know but I didn't. Gone was the girl who taught Bethy to stand up for herself and hello to this girl who was driven by insecurities and hormones. I know, she's been through a lot but she finally had enough in her to tell Cain what she hadn't for so many years, so why is she not doing that with anyone else? And after Rush's mess up toward the end, how could you sit back and say nothing...for God's Sake you are pregnant with his child!!! DAMMIT WOMAN! And as for the hormones, I wanted more from their relationship and I felt like a lot of what I got was that they couldn't live without each other because of the sex. I know that's not what was implied but that's all there seemed to be. I know it seems contradictory because I loved the steamy scenes, but that is because I thought they were well written, I just wanted more than just that! I loved Grant in the first book and in this book I was confused by him. Was he Team Blaire or Team Nan? Still not sure to be honest. He definitely didn't seem to be Team Rush! I feel like there is more to that story that we either just didn't get, or maybe that's another book after Woods' book that we don't know about yet... I don't know it just left me confused, but not in a good way. The story felt rushed (haha, rushed) to me. When I was almost halfway through the book and they still hadn't talked, I knew it was going to end badly for me personally (not the characters). I feel like this book was unfinished. I felt like things came together quickly at the end (and by a surprise character no less), and then there were still so many things left unresolved. It was like we were three quarters of the way through the story and then it just stopped... What? I don't want to wait for an epilogue or extra chapter or now from what I've seen a third book, I want this book to be finished. UGH!! Will I keep reading, of course because I truly like the characters and have come to want some closure with this storyline... but I'm left feeling like Blaire from one of her dreams, worked up with nothing to make it better!

'NEVER TOO FAR' is a must read if you have 'FALLEN TOO FAR' with Abbi's first novel...the story line continues and shows how people can come to terms with many things in their lives. Sizzling erotica...First true loves hold no boundaries... Have read both books again and love ABbi's unique writing style. Great insight into the human relationship. Highly recommend!

Que dire ? Dans la lignée du premier tome. Avant même de lire on sait quel est ce grand secret mais ça n'enlève rien à l'histoire. Vivement le tome 3 !!!

Me gusta mucho el modo en el que escribe la autora y es muy bueno ya que te atrapa en todo momento. EL mejor

Das beste Buch, was ich jemals gelesen habe. Die Sexszenen, sooooo gut und die Liebesgeschichte der beiden ist einfach nur zum Träumen. Dieses Buch kann immer wieder lesen und das werde ich auch machen.

The second part to this story was just as riveting as the first. From the first word to the last. The mixed emotions that Rush had to wade through was on going. Blaine finding her place in the world. The narration was awesome too.
