More tolerable than the first book. This is more romantic, more intense and less annoying. Though there are still parts that quite annoyed me. Rush Finlay is sometimes an idiot. Sometimes I had doubts in him and again, his bitch sister ruins the good moments. Uggh! When does Nan going to grow up and stop being a bitch?! The family drama and all the lies finally cleared up! YES! So crazy. 
 In this continuation, Blaire went back to Alabama with her best friend/former lover, Cain. A little spoiler.. She is pregnant with Rush's child. Rush is obviously clueless about her situation. Blaire doesn't know what to do and she has no one who can confide her. She doesn't want her child to be hated by Rush's family and she's doing everything to protect herself and her unborn child. Things got complicated and Rush feels empty without Blaire and is determined to bring her home to Rosemary Beach and solve this family issue. 
 As always, I admire sweet Blaire. In fairness with Rush Finlay, I like when he is on a protective / possessive mode. He becomes adorable despite of being an idiot in decision making. Poor guy. Torn by the attention of sweet Blaire and her spoiled sister. I'm going to read Woods' story first before the last book. I think he's more interesting than Rush Finlay. :)
