An excerpt from Never Too Far
by Abbi Glines
“You don’t have to go with him. I told you that I could fix this. You have me, B. You’ve always had me.”
I swallowed the lump in my throat wishing this were true. Cain believed it. I could see it in his face. But I knew better. If I needed a friend, Cain would be there but he was no one’s savior.
I pulled my bag up higher on my shoulder and thought carefully about how to explain this to him. He wouldn’t understand the truth. Bringing up how he had failed me when my mom was sick and I was so alone would only hurt him. “I need to do this. Who knows, I may be right back here in a couple days or a week. I don’t know. But I do know that I need to face this.”
Cain let out a frustrated growl and ran his hand through his hair. “You don’t trust me to take care of you. That hurts so damn much.” He let out a defeated laugh. “But then why should you? I let you down before. With your mom… I was a kid, B. Things are different now. I know what I want. I… God, B, I want you. It’s always been you.”
A lump formed in my throat. Not because I loved him but because I did care for him. Cain was a big part of my life. He had been for as long as I could remember. I closed the distance between us and reached out and grabbed his hand. “Please, understand. This is something I have to do. I have to face this. Let me go.”
Cain let out a weary sigh. “I’m always letting you go, B. You’ve asked that of me before. I keep trying but it’s slowly destroying me.”
I had always thought that Cain had moved on. That when he’d chosen all those other girls over me that his feelings for me had changed. Seeing the broken desperate look in his eyes now I wondered if I’d misunderstood.

Seriously that it? Aaahhhh need a bit more…………
Avid lover of books here. Got a Kindle for Christmas and had mixed feelings about getting it. Read “Fallen Too Far” from cover to cover (so to speak) on my Kindle last night and again today. Why, oh why, did you have to leave it like you did? Plus, couldn’t you have warned at the beginning of the book it was going to be a “To Be Continued” book?! I very much enjoyed your characters and verbage; you make it very easy to “know” your characters. I’m excitedly looking forward to the second book; but am I going to have to wait on a third too?
Ahhh I CAN’T wait!!!! March can’t come soon enough!
Abbi Glines, you are awesome!!! Love all your books 🙂
Just finished fallen to far in 4 hours….. MARCH IS TO FAR AWAY :(,,,,,
Oh hell is it not march yet ! I just love Abbi’s style of wrighting. I have read all your books and seriously cant wait to find out whats in store for Blaire and Rush in the next book.x
The only break i took in reading this book was to eat dinner. I could not put it down, I don’t know how i’m going to be able to wait until March to read the next book. Gahhhh i’ll be anxiously waiting.
I have just finished Fallen Too Far and it was an amazing read I can not wait for the next book I need to know what happens to their crazy love story…hopefully it will be before march…:)
Can not wait for the next book. I read the entire book in a day could not put it down.. Will we be able to pre order for kindle?!?!!
I can’t help but wonder if it’s Woods coming for her…..?
I thought the first book was just ok but i still wanna read never too far
Same
Whats wrong with u nelly?!? this book was freaking amazing!
Wait ament i nelly?!
OHMYGOSH! Like for reals…. could you leave us hanging any more? Ugh, I am so going to get this the moment it come live!!!! I ish thee not!
Really, can an author not finish a book? I loved this book and these characters and cannot fathom why you wouldn’t give us the ending it deserved. Even if it went to 1000 pages instead of three books to equal the length. I just don’t get it why you people do this to readers. It makes it seem like such a money scam. It would seem that it would be more lucrative to publish the “whole book” at once for $9.99 that to release it in tid bits and hope that people remember to purchase the sequels. Just doesn’t make any sense to me and it seems somewhat cruel to your readers.
LOL!! Of corse it’s to make money that’s why they are writers… If they put it all in one book and that was it their careers wouldn’t go very far true fans of the books remember to come back!
It frustrates me, too. I’ve read all of her books. I love them. She releases them pretty quickly, but this ending especially frustrated me. Each book of the Sea Brease series, could almost stand alone. In fact, I read them out of sequence, but this one really bugged me. I will, of course, read the next one and continue to read all of her books. Fallen Too Far was a fun and exciting book to read.
so im assuming shes pregnant with rush’s child and shes going back to tell him 🙂
I pray so!!!!
I’m thinking her Daddy came to get her or maybe Grant? I really don’t want her to be pregnant, it puts too much obligation into the relationship. I mean i’m pretty sure that Rush would love that baby but still.
Whoops I posted to the wrong comment (blushing)…. But as I said above, I just can’t shake the feeling that Woods came to get her?
It destroyed me when ‘fallen too far’ finished. I really dont think i can wait until March 12th for ‘never too far’. If you’re reading this Abbi, please release it earlier. Beautiful story and i cant begin to think of where you’ve taken Blaire and Rush next.
OH MY GOD! How could you end it that way??? I finished this book in less than 5 hours and now I have to wait till March for the next one??? I just want to say Thank you for sharing your awesome characters with the world. You are by far my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE author. I’ve read everyone of you books that I can get on my Kobo and iBooks. It took an extra month from the release of Fallen too Far for me to get it but my god was it worth it! I just hope I don’t have the same issues with Never too Far in March cause I may go insane if I have to wait a minute more than that! Thank you thank you for introducing me to Rush and Blaire, Low and Marcus and The Vincent brothers.
I absolutely loved this book. I read it from front to back in one sitting! You literally couldn’t put it down. Made me laugh, made me cry, amd generally just made me FEEL for all of these characters! Plse send us the second book soon.
Arrrrrrrrrhhhhh i need this book asap!!!! im slowly dying without it!!! i need to know whta happens, please please please please please make it come out sooner!!!! i am desperate, i need my dosage of Rush and Blair!! 🙁 ITS LITERALLY KILLING ME HERE!!!!! I HATE CLIFF HANGERS!! :/
I read this book in 1 sitting and loved it !!!! March can’t come quick enough.
lol…i know what you writers are doing….keeping us in suspense!!….guess what??? it is woooorrrkkkking!!!…i literally cannot wait. I’m so hoping that abbi glines would change her mind and hve it out in febuary. gosh march is too far away, but never the less i have enjoyed fallen too far, love the plot.love the characters. at the moment i dont know what to expect..will blaire go back to rush?, will she be pregnant?..will rush be a mess when she gets there? will cain give chase and follow blaire to florida and declare his undying love??…will she..won’t he?…Ooooh!! i give up…MARCH!!
Loved the book but one more book I got caught up in with a TBC driving me nuts. Was listening to my ipod while reading and all of sudden its Chris Young’s Tomorrow while I’m on the last chapter, made me cry even more. My husband thinks I’m nuts
it never came into my mind that this will be a series. can’t wait for march to come. hope this book is available here. 🙁
One of my favorite authors! I can hardly wait for March to get here to read “Never too Far.”
Hasn’t anyone noticed a ring on her ring finger in the new cover of never too far
All these trilogy books being released separately is ruining my reading experience. Cliff hangers? No! Annoying? Yes! This is why we read instead of watching the movies.
Why can’t I preorder this book on my Nook?
