Rush Too Far

Written by Abbi Glines

Narrated by Sebastian York

After the worldwide success of Fallen Too Far and its two sequels, Never Too Far and Forever Too Far, Abbi Glines takes her readers back to the beginning with Rush Too Far.

Everyone in Rosemary Beach thinks they know how Rush Finlay and Blaire Wynn fell in love. But Rush is back to tell his side of the story...

Rush has earned every bit of his bad-boy reputation. The three-story beach house, luxury car, and line of girls begging for time between his sheets are the envy of every guy in Rosemary Beach, and Rush handles it all with the laid-back cool of a rock star’s son. All he needs are his best friend, Grant, and his sister, Nan.

Until Blaire Wynn drives into town in her beat-up pickup truck with a pistol under her seat. The Alabama farm girl instantly captures Rush’s attention once he discovers that the angelic beauty is his new stepsister, but he vows to keep his distance. Even if she needs his help. Even if he craves her.

Because Rush knows why Blaire is all alone in the world, forced to ask for help from the father who abandoned her three years ago. And he knows if he gets too close it will destroy Nan, who has a secret connection to Blaire.

He has every reason in the world to stay away from her. Find out why he doesn’t.

Reviews for Rush Too Far

[Bethany Needle · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

The only reason this book didn’t get 5 stars was because of the ending. I love happy endings and this definitely wasn’t it. Beautifully written and loved all the characters and what they represented. I understand life doesn’t always have happy endings, but I read to escape reality for a moment. It was too heartbreaking for me.

I always worry that when I read a book told from the other person’s point of view that I will get bored with it. That is not the case with Rush Too Far. If anything, I may like it more than Fallen Too Far.

I love being in Rush’s head. He definitely has the save the world gene. He has a big heart even though he tries not to show it. He doesn’t want Blaire to be into him, and he definitely doesn’t want her in his thoughts all the damn time. I liked watching the inner struggle, and what he was really thinking when Blaire was around him.

I didn’t mention Nan in my other reviews because I don’t like her. After reading Rush’s pov, I can’t stand her. She’s had a semi-tough life not having a father, but good freaking grief. Put some big girl panties on, and deal with it. She drives me mad, I tell you!

The ending is still emotional. I thought I was torn apart when I read Fallen Too Far, but reading how it felt for Rush broke my heart completely. I bawled like a damn baby. There are also extra scenes that weren’t in Fallen Too Far, and I freaking loved them.

I love everything about this book and series. I can’t get enough of this group of friends.

3.5 stars. God, I freaking HATE Nan! And I actually didn't like Rush as much in this one because he really needs to let this whole guilt thing go. He keeps telling Nan that she needs to let her hatred of Blaire go because it's not her fault, and he really needs to listen to his own advice because even though he may have raised Nan, it's not his fault they have a crappy mother, or that his father cared about him while Nan's didn't. She needs to grow up and get over herself, and she's an adult, so he needs to stop catering to her and letting her throw tantrums and get her way. Let her take care of herself for once.

Abbi really took an alternate POV and made it work. Sometimes it feels like an author just changes a scene or two and tells the exact same story. I really felt like Rush Too Far was full of new information and I really feel like I better understand Rush. These characters are some of my favorite and I was really happy with the way this story was told! I still hate Nan and I don't see that changing!!!

Hot hot hot…. Before this book even began we all swooned so hard for Rush Finlay! And this book did NOT disappoint! the only feelings I have for this book is LOVED IT! And you got some of why he was the way he was in the other books, but to feel it all through rush was fabulous! The love he felt for Blaire but the devotion and protectiveness he had for nan, and easy decision for the outside world, but not for him. the one person he had and would do anything to make happy and now he had to disappoint her. don’t get me wrong I am a #NANhater and I think she gets what she dishes out but the internal struggle was so very Real for him. He had to choose to put himself in front of Nan and that wasn’t something that he had ever done. All in all this is a great book, I’m so glad Abbi gave us a book from Rush’s pov, I would love to hear their entire story from his side. (Hint Hint)★Jammie
