All For You, Book #2
Review of All For You, Book #1
Heat Factor: Slow burn, medium heat
Character Chemistry: They kind of instantly connect, and then the connection weakens…and then it’s tight again.
Plot: Rob is a single dad (to an adult daughter) who helps his newbie homeowner neighbor, Kari, with assorted household fixer-upper tasks until they’re getting fixed up themselves.
Overall: Cute story, tad slow in parts. Rob’s a little infuriating sometimes.
Heat Factor: It is a not insubstantial amount of soul-searing lovemaking
Character Chemistry: OMG, I was so invested
Plot: There’s a global conspiracy to burn down the world, and the US president and his secret service detail lead find themselves right in the middle of it
Overall: The three primary books are a total of 52 hours and 48 minutes in audio plus there’s a 200 page holiday interlude story as well, and I devoured them all in 5 days. What even is sleep?

Heat Factor: The whole middle of the book is pretty much sex.
Character Chemistry: feelings are annoying
Plot: The new White House Press Secretary worked with the president once many years ago. This time he’s not about to let her get away.
Overall: I was put off by the way the president was initially represented (it’s single POV from Clover), and that kind of snowballed with other things as I continued to read
Heat Factor: I might go so far as to say lotsa sex, but it’s not lotsa super explicit sex, but also that first BJ will probably live rent free in my head for a while
Character Chemistry: Love at first sight + so much angst
Plot: The president and his Secret Service detail lead are in love. Also the president has disappeared. Without his detail lead (in case that wasn’t obvious).
Overall: It’s present-past (roughly) alternating non-linear, so I was thrown for a minute…until I was totally sucked in
Heat Factor: The moments when they connect are really special, but it doesn’t happen often
Character Chemistry: Gennady’s a bit of a cynic, and Daniel just can’t help falling in love
Plot: Wise Spies – they both know very well the games their governments are playing, and that connection forges unexpectedly deep trusts that carry through years and separations
Overall: Oof. Wow. How can I read another book now?
