Synopsis: (from Goodreads.com)
To want what you’re not supposed to have…
She is only nineteen.
She is his new stepfather’s daughter.
She is still naïve and innocent due to spending the last three years taking care of her sick mother.
But for twenty-four year old Rush Finlay, she is the only thing that has ever been off limits. His famous father’s guilt money, his mother’s desperation to win his love, and his charm are the three reasons he has never been told no.
Blaire Wynn left her small farmhouse in Alabama, after her mother passed away, to move in with her father and his new wife in their sprawling beach house along the Florida gulf coast. She isn’t prepared for the lifestyle change and she knows she’ll never fit into this world. Then there is her sexy stepbrother who her father leaves her with for the summer while he runs off to Paris with his wife. Rush is as spoiled as he is gorgeous. He is also getting under her skin. She knows he is anything but good for her and that he’ll never be faithful to anyone. He is jaded and has secrets Blaire knows she may never uncover but even knowing all of that…
Blaire just may have fallen too far.

Prosecution:
March of 2013 is WAY too far away. Y U do this to me??
Defense:
I'm still crying as I type this. This novel/obsession/emotional train wreck has probably left me worse off than my last break up. My heart hurts, my head is pounding, and I feel so awake I could run five miles. Blair was well rounded and by the end of the novel, you could tell she was..different. No longer innocent. Honestly, she reminded me so much of a sixteen year old at the beginning, as though she hadn't grown since her mother became ill. By the end of the novel, she was older than her years and much more mature (which was a nice change). I would've been happy with the sweet little love story, which did ring a tune in sync with that of the Sea Breeze series. But that added bit of mystery and suspense was just the right clincher. Now everything was suspenseful, the ending was more heartbreaking (if a bit confusing). Could I just say, WHAT was up with the ending? DON'T LET HIM GO. ARE YOU CRAY? I am disappoint.
BUTTTTT, there's another book after this.. (in like 3 months, cough, eternity) so maybe this little dilemma will situate itself and they'll have cute little rock star babies. I mean c'mon, I could see where that little unprotected incident could turn into a pregnancy. Please, Abbi, please??
Verdict:
On par with Beautiful Disaster. I said it, ITS ON THE SAME LEVEL. On the same level with the best book I've read in, well, ever. Solid 5 stars and a new #2 favorite (Toodles, My Life Next Door, you're now a #3!!) Now excuse me while I go find my tissues, an Audrey Hepburn movie to calm me down, and some tea.
