All of You

Christina Lee

Genres: Contemporary, New Adult, Romance

Avery has just met her hot upstairs neighbor. He's irresistible. Tattooed. And a virgin.

Nursing student Avery Michaels wants nothing to do with dating—she's perfectly happy single. Privy to too many of her mother's bad decisions and even worse taste in boyfriends, all Avery can handle is a string of uncomplicated hookups whenever the mood strikes.

When she meets smoking hot tattoo artist Bennett, she wants him—for just one night. But he won't accept a no-strings-attached arrangement. He lives by a straight-laced code of values based on his own troubled upbringing.

Bennett sees something special in Avery and he wants more from her. Way more. As Avery wrestles with her emotions for Bennett, danger and tragedy force them to open up to each other. And Avery must face the terrifying realization that she wants more from him, too.

So she needs to make a choice—let Bennett go or finally let him in.

I absolutely adored All of You! I will admit, going into it, I was slightly skeptical. The thought of the hero being a virgin was intriguing, but I was pretty sure I was going to be doing some serious eye-rolling. But I didn’t, and I don’t think you will either.

What I liked: The hero and the heroine both made absolute sense. This book reminded me a lot of Wait For You in the fact that they are neighbors, and both have issues. I really liked Bennet, and completely understood why he was waiting once more about his family was revealed. Avery was great too, and I never found myself ready to strangle her, which is always a bonus. There is a really sweet side-storyline about an elderly lady that Avery takes care of in a nursing home, and through her we see that Avery isn’t nearly as tough as she wants everyone to think she is. She’s so compassionate and caring.

What I didn’t like: Um. Umm. Yeah, I got nothing.

My Recommendation: READ IT!
