The second part in The Blackstone Affair series! Looming danger. A love worth fighting for. A man who’ll go all in.
Ethan Blackstone has a problem on his hands. He’s broken Brynne’s trust and she’s left him. He’s unwilling to live without her and isn’t giving up—he’s dead-set on getting his beautiful American girl back. The passion between them was explosive, but the secrets they hid from each other are dark and chilling and are powerful enough to destroy their shot at a life together. With political threats now directed at Brynne, Ethan is running out of time and he’ll need to gather all his strength and agility to protect her from the dangers that could take her away from him forever. Will Ethan be able to save Brynne from a past that keeps her locked in fear? Will he ever feel the warmth of her touch, the solidity of her trust again? This is a love-struck man who is willing to do whatever it takes to possess the heart of the woman he loves. He’ll go to any lengths to protect her. He’ll go all in.
Here is the fiery story of what happens when two people surrender to a love so great it can heal the scars of the past and give way to a life of pure, rapturous ecstasy.
Review
I can honestly say that I liked "All In" better than "Naked"....but I can still say that I'm still not sold on this series. I can't really pin-point what I disliked about this book, so it's very difficult for me to write this review right now.
I felt like the author continued to revert back to the same comments continually throughout the book. During any scene between Ethan and Brynne you had Ethan's comments about how much Brynne means to him. The benefit to this book over "Naked" was that it was from Ethan's perspective. You gained a little insight into why he was so protective over Brynne. But I still felt like something between their relationship was lacking. That might have stemmed from "Naked" where it was an "insta-love" story, but I just felt like there love for each other was never truly explained.
The end of "All In" ended differently than I thought it was going to, which actually left me a little disappointed and underwhelmed. Normally I'm really excited when a book takes a turn I don't expect, but again, with this book, I'm not sure why I feel so differently about it.
All in all, I think it's an ok book to read if you enjoyed series like Fifty Shades of Grey and The Crossfire series, but I wouldn't get too excited over it.
3 stars.
