There are almost no perfect words to describe how truly amazing, phenomenal, and addictive this entire Too Far series was. It was nearly perfect, and I couldn't have asked for anything better. I absolutely loved reading about Rush and Blaire's story. They were phenomenal main characters, and I completely fell in love with them both from the very beginning. Their personalities and chemistry together were terrific, and I honestly couldn't get enough of them and their story. Abbi Glines is a pure and utter genius, and I will forever hold all of her novels near and dear to my heart. Thank you, Abbi!

This is incredibly amazing! Abbi Glines hooked my heart with this couple. Rush and Blaire are perfectly imperfect and I love them!! Too sweet, so sweet...
FALLEN TOO FAR
"Would my life always be full of loss?"
At the age of nineteen, Blaire is an independent strong woman. While Rush is an almighty douchebag! But them, together? Oh, c'mon! They. Are. Dangerous.
Their story put my perception in a tight knot. They are steps of each other. And having that alluring attraction has been the hardest to resist.
Rush confused me. He played a role of an exasperating asshole. Though deep inside, he cares. And when I say 'care', you'll never imagine how mesmerizingly sweet he really is! I love it that he loves Blaire and understands her and will stand for her no matter what. He needed her as he breathes air.
They had endured so much. Blaire felt unwanted and betrayed by the men she ever loved in her life. Rush wanted to protect her and he's done with Nan's (his sister's) self-centeredness and Georgianna's (his mom's) being a bitch as she always is. Now that they had finally found their happiness in each other, the past threatened to steal it from their hearts.
When Blaire discovered the truth, my heart was pierced with pain along with her. Run. I run away with her. She needed it. Getting her final goodbye to Rush was the most painful loss of all. She deserves to live a life out of their (especially her dad's) condescending lies.
NEVER TOO FAR
Their hearts were barely beating. Theirs were owned by each other. Wanting to be together can cost them everything, but they were marked; it's their fate.
"I could love this man and be happy with him the rest of my life. I just hoped I got the chance."
Blaire's world was already whirled upside down and that new revelation of her pregnancy made her mind completely loose. When she looked for comfort in her mom's & Val's (her twin's) graves, she was so vulnerable. She's still young. Ugh. I hate? her belief that she's just on her own to suffer and endure. She's hard not to love! That's proven. She's blessed with cool shoulders to lean on.
I'm thankful that Rosemary have Bethy. She's been the bridge of finding a way back to their true love. Her stubbornness has been an answer to Blaire's fall. I hope to learn more about her and Jace, who's both annoyed and amused me at times. I feel bad for Cain. He should have treasured Blaire, but he wasted his chance and she ended up as a life lesson for him. He's a good bestfriend tho'. Granny Q earned my respect. She's one of those old people who see things clearly as they are. Her calmness has sure been contagious and relieving. Woods was goin' great. I know he's attracted to Blaire. I don't like him for his cockiness but he supported her all the way. I've been kinda taken aback with Grant... No.no.no.no.no—he couldn't like Nan! Why did he appear that he's into her? I want to believe that he's just nice to care. That's just it. He's being nice, isn't he? I'm torn. Arrgh.
"I don't just love her, she owns me. Cpmpletely. I'd do anything for her."
Rush's bewilderment had been stirred to life at his heart's return. It's the best shot left for him to win her love back. He took care of his pregnant Blaire with pure gentleness. Being torn between her and his family– as much as he hate his absence during the appointment for the first live hearbeat of their baby (I was like 'Who forgets about that?!'), it was very heart-warming when he shed tears after he saw the ultrasound picture!
There was always Nan, yea, that crazy bitchy selfish half-sister of him who caused nothing else but misery. But— that's Rush. When he loves, there's nothing in the world that can eradicate it. I salute Blaire for her so much understanding of his situation. Though Rush got to neglect her needs (and damn him for even thinking of giving up on 'them' because of his totally fucked up family), she just waited for him to come home to her.
Abe's (Blaire's father) confession of the tragic past's truth had blown me, too. I'm grateful! He's not that bad man he's showing to be. He felt empty after Val's death. But he cared for Blaire, he never ceases to care. I can say, he still can claim to be a good father. Of course, he'll work hard for it. Georgianna's the evil! Very loathsome, really!! Putting their children's pure hearts in darkness with her lies, each has been a victim. It had affected Nan for life. Everything's been sad and tragic.
Rush and Blaire loved each other too much that they were both ready to let go for the better. Well, their togetherness is the best. They're just very sweet! It will never get old. They need their love to be happy... and they're gonna have a son!
FOREVER TOO FAR
In their journey of starting their own family, Rush and Blaire are to pass the challenges of acceptance, love, and understanding which was going to lead to their happily-ever-after marriage.
I didn't expect Dean to be that caring and kind. So far from the tone of Rush in talking 'bout him. I mean, it sounded like he's mean and kinda indifferent. A drummer of a rock star band!! Well, it come out that his relationship with Rush is so cool! Them, dealing with Nan's wickedness, was an ordeal. She's driving Kiro (?'s vocalist?) quite mad. So, there comes Rush to tame her. But can Blaire stand still by his side with her?
"I had lost a lot but God had made up for that by giving me Rush. I needed to remember just how blessed I really was."
This book made me feel love and hate the while so many times. Rush has been pushed and pulled in between his families. Blaire, on the other side seemed suffocated. They're selfless while Nan is the selfish bitch. What a chaos she is! I pity her, too. But she's like a poison which intend to ruin every thing she walks on. So, Blaire walked away again. But this time, it's for Rush, for him not to worry, and for her to catch her breathe. It's been good when she learned that she still has Abe to run to, and a stepbrother! Um. Captain is mysterious. Anyways, she's a sweet and I'm glad things are falling into place on their own.
"When I finally found you, I finally found me... I have fallen too far, too far for you.. For you."

Okay. I need to compose myself first for this most awaited part. I tell you, I've read many weddings but this?! This one was the very best so far!!! Too far. Hah! I'm so enchanted. I felt like I'm personally there, like a guest, definitely not a gate crasher huh. Oh my, I felt the love, like I'm floating, like I'm drowing, I don't know really, I've been so filled, it's overflowing! Rush was so sweet, I want to strangle him again, but not with the same feeling this time. I'm thankful, they were both a blessing to each other. They're a perfect couple! Those traditional somethings'? I've bever approved so much in my life. Especially that a piece of fabric from Blaire's mom! It's so thrilling to know that even she's not on Earth anymore, Rush had met her before. He shared memories that feed Blaire's heart happiness. And I have a thing for anklet. It's rarely given these days. For me, it's something that implies intimacy, deeper connection.
RUSH'S SONG!! That lifted my heart so high, I'm not sure how it come back to me. I've got LSS from it. I've even thought of using it in my own wedding someday. It's so real.Very real. Beyond real, um, as I said, it felt like a fairy tale come to life. Nate, their wondetful son, just completed the spell that bound me forever.
RUSH TOO FAR
"She is an angel. My angel. A beautiful, strong, fierce, loyal angel who entered my life in a pickup truck, carrying a gun."
That's one of a kind way of introducing someone who changed your life. I've enjoyed reading Rush's POV. Though it's somewhat a retelling of the first book's story, there were things revealed only in this book. I love him saying those things, on how he really see Blaire when he first had a glimpse of her, every time he looks at her. I like knowing what he thinks with those moments he successfully made himself expressionless, of how his walls came crushing down and left him stuck there to endure the downfall. The worst which become the best was when he fell in love, no one can lift him up, because he never wanted to. And when he decided to fly, he held Blaire's hand, they have each other, and it felt heaven.
"She wasn't alone. Not anymore. She had me."
Rush almost had died in battling his feelings. Despite the rough exterior, he's so soft inside. And he can't hide himself forever. Well, Blaire brought out everything in him. She made the noise in his head bearable, because when she speak, he only hears her angelic voice. He can't stay away, much more let her walk away. He can't lose her. Ever.
"Loving someone you don't deserve isn't easy. It hurts like hell. But not one moment of my time with Blaire would I regret."
Loving Blaire kept Rush alive.

The best things I have ever read !!!
July 7, 2021
This is one of my favorite series. I love that all the books intertwine but are about the different characters in town. Enough smut to keep you hooked in the love life of the characters but the store lines are also great. I always go back to this series and re read it anytime I don't want something new.

January 27, 2022Even though I accidentally read this series out of order, I had no problem keeping up. The intermingling of this group of friends and their relationships had me craving for more. I will be very sad when the series ends.

An amazing love story that tell about Rush and Blair . Young people who fell in love and fought all the demons of their past. Lots of surprises lie there and I've love Blair character who is a survivor and a fighter although she was alone in life . She is an honourable young woman who deserved a good man like Rush.

5 Amazing Stars
This is a review on the Rosemary Beach Series including Twisted Perfection & Simple Perfection
I absolutely LOVED this series, Abbi Glines is one of my all time favorite authors.
I love the way all the characters appear in all the books and how over the series you get to know each and everyone of them with each book.
Blaire & Rush are still my favorite couple by far, with Della & Woods close second.
Just being able to loose myself and feel like I'm actually there whilst reading these books was a major plus for me. Especially when you can't pout the books down and you never want it to end.
I loved being able to laugh, cry and get angry which sometimes doesn't always happen but when a story is written as good as these, it happens!
Thank You Abbi Glines for taking me on an amazing journey through books. Can't wait to read the rest.

I have read ALL of Abbi Glines books and I recommend ALL OF THEM, but I really fell in love with The Rosemary Beach Series.
Fallen Too Far is the first book in this series and I absolutely fell in love with Blaire and Rush! I also learned very quickly that I can become obsessed with finishing a series, lol. The Rosemary Beach Series includes 14 books and I read them all in a week, yep that’s right, I’m guilty🙋🏼♀️

Love Abbi Glines & love this series. These four books (Too Far Series) tell the story of Rush & Blaire and are the first four books in the Rosemary Beach Series. I love the fact that each book that follows contains the story of the supporting characters in the Too Far Series but continues to include Rush & Blaire.
