Forever too Far - Glines, Abbi

New Adult, Romance, Contemporary,
3 out of 5 stars
Kindle 304 pages


Rush promised her forever... but promises can be broken.

Torn between his love for his family and his love for Blaire, Rush has to find a way to save one without losing the other. In the end one has to be more important. Letting go isn’t easy.

Blaire believed in her fairytale... but no one can live in a fantasy.

Her love for Rush and desire to have a family keep her believing that they can find a way for this to work. Until she has to make the right decision for her and the baby. Even if it breaks her heart.

Can they find the forever that they both want or has it all just gone... too far? (From Goodreads)



I have to say this book was so much better then the second one. Although still not as good as the first, because Rush was still no where near the cool dominating guy he was in Fallen. He was over emotional, and full of "caveman" tendencies. He fussed over Blaire far too much, and it annoyed me to no end that Rush wouldn't give Blaire two seconds of independence. I swear he thought that Blaire couldn't do anything for herself and had to be waited on constantly.

The drama was there which was nice, although it seemed a bit off and weird, fabricated almost. Nan was a pain in my rear end, probably because she seemed so underdeveloped and fake.

I don't understand how Blaire can still look so beautiful when she's very very pregnant.  Everyone thinks she's the hottest thing ever! And the size of her stomach was compared to that of a BEACH BALL! And she was pretty close to being full term. I'd say like seven months or so. Beach balls are not that big! And in six weeks Blaire can miraculously fit into her "pre-baby" jeans…what!! What about baby weight..and exercise. Glines makes pregnancy look like a walk in the park!

It was nice to see that after so many blunders Rush finally put Blaire and his baby first. Atlhough it took him till 79% when Blaire was in labor and Nan in a mental institution to see that.

I loved Harlow! He quiet and shy demeanor, and her POV was an interesting part of the story. I'm just hoping that Glines doesn't go and write a bunch of books about her and Grant. Because I'm not fond of Grant right now, and I love what Harlow thought of him, how she didn't like him and his choice in women.

The fact that the stuff that happened in Twisted Perfection makes an appearance at about the 75% mark as well as near the end which was pretty nice. It was a swell tie in.

I love baby Nate! Although I'm not sure about the name, I can picture Rush with him, sitting outside in the moonlight. It was quite cute.

Everything wrapped up nicely for Blaire and Rush. Although it would have been nice to see some resolution with Nan and Blaire, to see Nan mature and grow as a person instead of be a horribly mean person.

I wish the book had been longer, or we had some sort of epilogue looking into baby Nate's future. I'd love to see what he's like when he is Blaire's age.
