Rush Too Far: A Rosemary Beach Novelvolume 4 (Rosemary Beach, #4)

by Abbi Glines

"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"--

I do enjoy getting the other MC's POV when the story was originally told from a single POV. I think this shed a little more insight on why Rush made the decisions he made and we got to see Blaire through Rush's eyes. However, I like these types of books better when they go beyond the ending of the original story. This one ended in the same place as the first book, so the ending was pretty anti-climatic. Still an enjoyable read, since I am a big fan of the series.

I missed Rush and Blaire so much and craved more. This definitely helped that!

I loved going back to the beginning and getting Rush's side of the story and getting to know him better.

I really hope she continues with the story though his eyes!

So for those that have read the Rosemary Beach series, specifically Blair and Rush's books, RUSH TOO FAR is Rush's POV for the events in FALLEN TOO FAR. And if you might have been on the fence about how you felt regarding Rush, this version of the events will change your mind.

In Blair's POV of this story, Rush came across as a complete and total ass, but I loved him anyway. You could just tell there was more to him that what he showed. Now I know there was more to him. Here was a guy that was left, from a very young age, to feel a paternal sense of responsibility for his little sister while his mother went off and did whatever. He grasped at the little time he had by himself with his dad because it gave him a break and allowed for him to be a boy. When he was with his dad, no one was clinging too him or needed him for anything. So as the story unfolded and we discovered why Rush went in search of Abe, I forgave him (even though I thought I already had) for destroying Blair's family in the name of his sister's happiness. I fell for him a little bit harder because he wasn't the ass he wanted everyone to see. He was a twenty-four year old guy who had way to many people using him and sucking the life out of him. Blair calmed Rush and made him think of his own feelings, rather than worrying about everyone else. And to just get inside his mind....*le sigh*.

In my opinion, this was a great addition to Blair and Rush's story. It's always nice to hear the other side and realize, from the very beginning, he was as in to her as she was him. Abbi Glines...bring on some more Rush!
