When Blaire Wynn's mother passed away, Blaire's life changed in an instant. Having cared for her sick mother for the last three years, suddenly Blaire has to leave the small farmhouse in Alabama they shared, to move in with her father and his new wife in their sprawling beach house along the Florida gulf coast. But what she isn't prepared for is the lifestyle change that comes with the move, and she knows she'll never fit into the new world of luxury and extravagance that suddenly surrounds her.
Even worse, her father has run off to Paris for the summer with his wife, leaving her stranded with Rush, her new stepbrother, who's irritating, arrogant and... seriously sexy. Rush is as spoiled as he is gorgeous; his famous father's guilt money, his mother's desperation to win his love, and his charm are the three reasons he has never been told no. Blaire knows he is anything but good for her, but somehow she can't fight the attraction she's feeling, especially when she starts to think the attraction might be mutual... Rush is jaded and has secrets Blaire knows she may never uncover but even knowing all of that Blaire just may have fallen too far.
*shakes fist at sky* Goddamned cliffhanger. Fallen Too Far was quite enjoyable. Blaire, the main character was tough, assured and independent, not to mention really likable. One scene made me quite emotional, where Rush discovers Blaire has spent the week eating peanut butter and bread, whilst staying in practically a broom closet in the rear of the household pantry. Forever the optimist, Blaire is only appreciative to have a warm bed and the bread and peanut butter she keeps in her room, so she wont go hungry. That vulnerability is sadly beautiful and adds another layer to her character. As much as most seem to swoon over the sleek and devastatingly handsome Rush, Blaire is the real star of Fallen Too Far, and I hope she finds her feet.
