Too Far / Rosemary Beach 1 - 4 - Abbi Glines - Series Review

Hello, so this is a series review for the first 4 books in the Rosemary Beach Series known as the Too Far Novels. This is a new adult series one i have read 3 times since 2014 so i have a very clear opinion on this entire series. 
So Lets Get Started...


Fallen Too Far #1


ISBN - 9781471118616
Characters - Blaire Wynn & Rush Finlay
My Copy - Purchased
Format - Paperback
Where You Can Find It - Goodreads - Waterstones - Barnes & Noble - Book Depository - Amazon UK - Amazon US

Blaire has no one after her mothers death, she can only turn to the man who walked out on her and her mother 5 years previous, her Father.She has to stay with her new Step-Brother who seems to hate her and his sister who hates her even more. Blaire just needs a place to stay until she can get enough money together to move on, but when feeling start getting involved it sends these two lost people on a journey of a lifetime.


So the first book in the series was good it was my second favourite out of the four books and unlike the next two books this is told in exclusively Blaire's POV so that is different from the rest of the entire RB series and Blair & Rush are just the ultimate couple and are the rock in practically every book after this one as well. 

This is the first book where we really get introduced to some of the characters who also have books and some (one) who we are waiting for. The supporting cast from Grant to Abe and Bethy to Nan everybody brought something, be it friendship, drama, love interests or just familial relationships and i think that is one of the huge draws to this series is the fact that there is not one main character that you cant help but love. Blair was such a strong, character after everything she goes through and Rush, i mean he had his Dad but even then he dint have a loving childhood that you wish for a character who you watch grow into something amazing(more on that later)

Story was a lot like any other New Adult book Boy and Girl fall in love, boy hiding a secret, girl finds out and ...... (this is a no spoiler review) but i liked it anyway Glines has a way of writing that draws you in and keeps you wanting to read more and more and sometimes i even manage to read 3 - 4 of her books in one day they are so addictive.

The Next Reviews May Spoil Somethings From Fallen Too Far I Will Try Not To But Sometimes It Cant Be Helped!!!

Never Too Far  #2


ISBN - 9781471118630
Characters - Blaire Wynn & Rush Finlay
My Copy - Purchased
Format - Paperback
Where You Can Find It - Goodreads - Waterstones - Barnes & Noble - Book Depository - Amazon UK - Amazon US


After finding out the secret that everybody in Rosemary knew and running back home to Summit, Blaire finds herself in a bind when Bethy asks her to move back to Rosemary to be her roommate and she doesn't want to let Bethy down but going back to Rosemary would mean seeing Rush and she doesn't know if she can do that especially with the big secret she is keeping. 


This was not my favourite in the series i threw this book at the wall because Nan is a RAGING B***H (i have that sentiment for pretty much all of the books apart from 1 so far and probably 2 by the end of the series.) I don't want to say much about the story because it will spoil it for you and i dint like spoiling people especially on books that i love, so i will just say how much i loved it and it is one you should experience first hand. 

The cast of characters got even bigger with the introduction of the characters from Summit and we also learn more about her life and who she was hurt by her ex boyfriend and just her life and the people who helped shape it, Blaire and Rush's relationship was one of a lot of angst in this and with Woods still sniffing around Blaire and Rush's family drama nothing ever seems to go right for two character who are perfect for each other.


Forever Too Far #3


ISBN - 9781471120022
Characters - Blaire Wynn & Rush Finlay
My Copy - Purchased
Format - Paperback
Where You Can Find It - Goodreads - Waterstones - Barnes & Noble - Book Depository - Amazon UK - Amazon US


The last book in the Too Far 'Series' Blaire is fed up of the drama that surrounds Rush's family and when she gets pulled into it she has to start thinking of her health even if it means leaving Rush because of his Toxic family
Rush promised Blaire forever... but is that a promise he can keep, or will their happily ever after always be just a step too far for him to reach? 


This is my favourite book in  this series everything just gets wrapped up nice and pretty, there are some lose ends but there are a lot more books to go through those. This is all about Rush having to choose to put Blaire and her health at the top of his priority or will Nan make the choice for him when he finds her unconscious. 

Again the cast gets even bigger with the arrival of Dean Finlay and Kiro Manning, along with Della Sloane the new waitress at the Club and the guy who lives next door to Blaire's father, it was quite an introduction to all of these character so many things happened in this book from wedding to babies and people getting arrested and beaten up it really packed a punch for such a small little package.


Rush Too Far #4


ISBN - 9781471122309
Characters - Blaire Wynn & Rush Finlay
My Copy - Purchased
Format - Paperback
Where You Can Find It - Goodreads - Waterstones - Barnes & Noble - Book Depository - Amazon UK - Amazon US


 Rush Too Far is Fallen Too Far But in Rush's POV so For the synopsis just look to Fallen To Far 
 

This is my least favourite in the series not to say it is bad in any way i love it but i would just prefer if it was all in the same book like all of the others because it  really isn't much different from Fallen too far just some extra scenes that we never saw like conversations between Rush and Nan and the how Rush got Abe to leave his family and just things like that i can give or take this book i love Rush but i think it really could have all been put into one book. 


Until Next Time
Happy Reading
