I had been waiting for this follow up to 
 ever so impatiently! All of the teasers that Abbi was putting up were driving me nuts. Will they? Won't they? Ahhh... It was killing me, especially after the cliffhanger that was Fallen Too Far, which, by the way broke my heart for both Blaire and Rush. So, I watched and watched for this release, and when I saw it up on Smashwords a day earlier than expected, I bought it immediately, told my kids that mommy could not be disturbed, and devoured it in one evening! 
 The synopsis: 
 He had held a secret that destroyed her world. 
 Everything she had known was no longer true. 
 Blaire couldn't stop loving him but she knew she could never forgive him.Now, she was back home and learning to live again. Moving on with life... until something happened to send her world spinning once again. 
 What do you do when the one person you can never trust again is the one that you need to trust so desperately? 
 You lie, hide, avoid, and pray that your sins never find you out.>/b> 
 Let me first say, this book did NOT disappoint. In fact, I literally could not put it down. Although my version had some formatting errors, that in now way took away from the story and my enjoyment of the book. 
 Blaire has been through a lot, way too much for someone at 19 years old. She finally gave her heart to someone (Rush) in Fallen Too Far, only to have it shattered in millions of pieces. But, after all that, Blaire is a strong person, and she wants to do the right thing, and think about herself for once. This was apparent throughout the entire book, and I admired her for that. More than once, Blaire said that she could forgive, but not forget. That's important, and forgiveness plays multiple roles in this book. 
 Rush broke my heart, more than once in this book. He was so sorry for what he did to Blaire and would do ANYTHING to make it up to her. But, he still managed to screw up, more than enough times! And, I can say that his continual screwing up and Blaire forgiving him is probably the only thing that I had a problem with in this book. The last time she forgave him, so quickly and easily, still sits a little uneasily in my stomach. I wanted her to forgive him for what he did, but she should have made him beg,, just a bit longer. 
 I also think that the author could have drawn out the ending even more (and particularly the part I reference above). I could have used a bit more of a glance into Blaire and Rush's future, and even that of Nan and Blaire's and Rush's parents. 
 All in all, though, this book was a wonderful follow up to Fallen Too Far, and a clear 5 star rating from me? A book that can make me cry, laugh, swoon, breath heavily ;), and make my own heart feel like it is breaking is a winner to me.
