Never Too Far by Abbi Glines
5.0
I think I should start this review by saying this is more of a gush than a review. I’m a huge Abbi Glines fan. Rabid fan. I’ll read anything she writes – anything!!! Well, except The Vincent Boys because I read The Vincent Brothers first on accident and just could not stand watching Sawyer get his heartbroken.
I bought Fallen Too Far because I knew it would be a hot romance that I could lose myself in, and then, then came the cliffhangers of all cliffhangers and I honestly contemplated throwing my kindle, my true love, across the room while I screamed NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. So I waited. And I stalked. And I read every post Ms. Glines made on Facebook and Twitter. I read every teaser, following every blog, waiting, waiting, and waiting for Never Too Far to be published. I began to worry that my anticipation wouldn’t live up to the reality. I was wrong, so very wrong. It was worth the wait.
In Never Too Far we find our heroine and hero broken. One can’t get over the betrayal, the other can’t get over the fact that he hurt the first and only person he’s ever loved. The first few chapters made me ache, I could honestly feel, physically feel their anguish. At times I just wanted them to get over it already and bring on the hot sex scenes that Ms. Glines is so skilled at writing, but then the pay off wouldn’t have been so great. And believe me the pay off was - WOW!
The book paces really well. Just when you think you can’t take it, just when you think it’s heading into that sappy place that makes you roll your eyes and say "come on" - it moves and you’re given a sweet reward. Let it be a steamy scene or a heart tugging one, it’s a reward just the same. Minor characters are fleshed out here Woods, Bethy and Grant are people you want to know, they aren’t just background filler. They live and breathe and they love Blair and Rush. Okay so maybe Woods doesn’t love Rush, but I’m totally dying for a bromance between these two.
There are surprises here. Big ones. Ones I DID NOT SEE COMING. Which are the best kinds of surprises, right? What I really love is that Ms. Glines doesn’t portray these characters as bigger than life; they are real, flawed and young. So young and the stupid stuff they do and the ways they react show that.
I don’t want to ruin it for any other reader by giving anything away. So just read it. You won’t be sorry.
