Rush Too Far
Author: Abbi
Glines
Publisher:
Simon and Schuster Australia
Rush Finlay has earned every bit of his bad-boy
reputation. With the luxury beach house, the fast cars and the endless stream
of girls, he’s the envy of every guy in Rosemary Beach, and he handles it all
with the laid-back cool of a rock star’s son. All Rush needs is his best
friend, Grant, and his sister, Nan.
Until Blaire Wynn drives into town in a beat-up pickup
truck with a pistol under her seat looking for her estranged father. Beautiful
and angelic, Blaire instantly captures Rush’s attention, but when he discovers
she’s his new stepsister he vows to keep his distance. Because Rush knows why
Blaire is all alone in the world, and he knows if he gets too close it will
destroy Nan. Rush has every reason in the world to stay away from Blaire… but
it seems he just can’t resist.
My Review
Thoughts on the
book: As many of you know I love Abbi Glines books and her writing style
and Rush Too Far was pushed to the front of my TBR pile (to-be-read) as soon as
I got it and devoured within a day.
Where to start with my review for Rush Too Far. I first
fell in love with Rush Finley in Fallen Too Far, but never knew how he truly thought
things went down from their first meeting. Now I know how he viewed things and
got to understand why he did certain things. We truly find out how hard he fell for Blaire
from the start but how much he truly tried to fight these feelings for her
because he didn’t want to hurt his sister (her half-sister at this stage of the
book) who upon meeting Blaire hates her. But of course he can’t fight these
feelings and falls hard for Blaire. We also get to see how cruel Nan is and
this book solidified why she is one of my most hated characters ever. She is
cruel, rude and so self-centred that I really don’t know how anyone can love
her. I know she has been dealt a low blow in life but most people would pick
themselves up and make themselves into a better person, not Nan though.
Of course my favourite thing about reading Rush Too Far
is watching Blaire and Rush fall in love all over again. We get to witness
their epic love story from another pair of eyes and even though we know how
book one ends I was still left crushed because it all came from Rush’s POV and
for some reason it just seemed that much worse coming from his.
Favourite
character: Is this question really warranted… because of course you know
it’s Rush. I mean who wouldn’t love the hot, sexy, tattooed, son of a rock star
that he is. He is not only insanely loyal to his friends and family, but upon
being in love is ridiculously protective of that person and won’t let anyone or
anything come between him and that person.
Favourite
quote/part:
‘She held a gun to my head, Rush! Do you not care about
that? She could have killed me! Nan knew where I was going.
I stopped and looked at my mother first. ‘I’m going to
get Blaire.’ Then I looked at my sister. ‘You will learn to shut your fucking
mouth. You said the wrong thing to the wrong person this time, and you learned
a lesson. Next time, think before you spew shit.’ I jerked the door open.
‘What if she won’t come back with you? She hates us,
Rush,’ my mother said, sounding annoyed at the idea of her even coming here.
‘If she won’t come back with me, then you all will have
to move out. I will not live in my house with the people with the people who
destroyed her world. Decide where you plan to go, because I don’t want you here
when I return.’ I slammed the door behind me.
Rating: what
else would it be for an Abbi Glines book 5/5
