Luke Evans is a heartbreaker.
I didn’t want to give mine to him. Not when he kept me out.
He gave me enough, just enough to make me fall in love with him. I say this to convince myself. But I know the truth.
I would’ve fallen in love with him at a distance.
Handing my heart over to Luke was the easiest thing I’ve ever done. I was naive when I wished for more, when I hoped he wanted the same things I did.
I try to hate him. I try to forget him.
But it’s not that easy.
Love is a ruthless bitch, and I’m her latest victim.
Tessa Kelly is a man-eater.
When she sets her sights on you, she doesn’t just consume your heart, she goes for your soul.
What we had was perfect, real, and all I would ever want.
But she destroyed it.
She destroyed us.
I try to hate her. I try to forget her.
But it’s not that easy.
Love is for people who have hope, and I have none.
Renee's Review
I was gifted this book by the author (thank you) in exchange for a honest review.
All I Want is the second book in the Alabama Summer series by J. Daniels. This can be read as a standalone novel but I really think it is more enjoyable if you read Where I Belong, first because it does give you some background information that is valuable. Besides that is a great book too! I wanted to savor this book, take my time and really enjoy it. I couldn’t do it! I sped through this book like a woman deprived of love for years!
Daniels does an awesome job with here character development, I felt all of the pain Tessa was going through and how much she wanted and needed Luke but lets her stubbornness get in the way. Luke is also hard headed and stubborn, isn't that how that goes, stubborn people end up together, and drive each other crazy. That’s not all Daniels gives us on these characters, Luke has had things harder and he isn't use to opening up and sharing his feelings, having someone to lean on. Tessa is the type of girl who is always there for the people she loves. She had great parents and never doubted that she was loved.
These two have a history to say the least, they were together before and things happen, things were said, so Tessa left him. Now, a year later, they still have that attraction, and want for each other. When these two are together you can almost feel the heat coming out of your book. Daniels knows how to make a scene smoke!
If you haven't given J. Daniels a chance yet, what are you waiting? She is the perfect mixture of hot steamy, make you need to fan yourself, and funny- just little jabs here and there to make sure your still paying attention. One CLICK recommended!
I give All I Want by J. Daniels 5 Platypires or stars however you like to count things!
Bama Love, Roll Tide, and Keep Reading Y'all!
