I was super duper excited when this got released. Ethan is my literary hero after reading Naked and I couldn’t wait to read more about him & Brynne in All In. I was slightly disappointed with the second novel. Even though the book was longer, it feels like not a lot happened in terms of the story line.I still loved the book and Ethan’s POV. We get to a see a completely different side of him. He really truly cares for Brynne and says the sweetest things to her. He made my friggen heart melt! I do...

After the ending of Naked, things are not going very well for Ethan and Brynne. They both have a lot of baggage not to mention the new threat that is hanging over Brynne's head. They really need to find a way to trust each other. I loved the emotional drama that the book started off with but again, it was way too short. These two are so passionate that I wanted to feel that. Not just have things swept over. The letter was a nice touch though. And it was interesting getting the whole book from Et...

I loved book one but this one read as if someone else wrote it. Ethan is portrayed in such a juvenile fashion, I was hard pressed to remember that man is in his 30's. All the hard, rough, charismatic edginess that I loved in Ethan in book one is replaced by a simpering, hormonal teenager. Paired with a weak story line, annoyingly crude dialogue, and it's one dimensional presentation, I am floored by how different this book is written.

Very Disappointing!After being so excited, mesmerized, and blown away by Naked, I couldn't wait to start the second book of the Blackstone trilogy. What a bummer it turned out to be.Ethan was just about my perfect hero in Naked. He was confident, successful, caring, considerate, and completely fixated and obsessed with Brynne. I was expecting my love and obsession for this character to intensify with this second installment, and instead I am left feeling like I just had a bucket of cold water du...

Ok. I loved this book. And I love Ethan Blackstone. A lot. This is a spoiler-free review. ALL IN starts off exactly the moment after book #1, Naked, ends and continues the story from Ethan’s point of view.As a quick recap/intro, Ethan is the head of a high end security firm hired to protect Brynne, an American student studying in London. When they meet, they have an undeniable connection and so begins their story… “She was different from the beginning. Special. My beautiful American girl…. it

5 Dirty Talking Stars!!!!!! All In is the continuation of Brynne and Ethan's love affair ♥ Ethan has broken Brynne's trust; she trusted him with her heart and to always tell her the truth, but he failed and now he has to win her back. “I wouldn’t ever keep the truth from her again.” We learn much more about Brynne's shocking past, how she feels about it and how they deal with it as a couple. “Ethan knows what happened to me and there is no way he could possibly love me now.” ♥

3.5 SEXY ETHAN STARSI was really excited to read the highly anticipated sequel to Raine Millers first book Naked. So on release day I immediately put down what I was reading to pick it up. There were a couple things that I didn't like and I want to get them out of the way so I can GUSH about the things I did LOVE. All In was good but left me thinking and feeling a little differently than the first book. In the first book "Naked" you were left on the edge of your seat screaming at your kindle "NO...

Review posted at: Swept Away By Romance4 Stars! I was ALL IN...hook, line and sinker! Great second installment, but the ending had me scratching my head! A pretty good second installment in this series, but not quite as riveting as the first book. Through the first few chapters the reader definitely feels the anguish and desperation that consumes Ethan over the mess he’s in with Brynne. He gives himself a good bashing and is very self-deprecating, not that I felt he needed to be. I loved being i...

Is it Friday yet?Yep... Friday has come and gone and I got my Ethan fix. Waiting on Part 3 So I can touch that goateeAnd bite that bottom lipOh.. and perhaps enjoy a smoke in the tub

Review posted on Talk Supe "With Ethan everything was fast, intense…combustive." Before I begin my review, I have to tell you I may be a bit biased when it comes to this book. You see, when I read the first book of this series, Naked, I had envisioned the hero, Ethan Blackstone, to be David Gandy. As some of you may know, I am a bit obsessed with that beautiful man. Okay, maybe not a little – more like a LOT obsessed. So when I read the teaser for ALL IN and realized that it would

So I liked it...hence the three stars. It passed the time. But I wasn't bowled over. There was a LOT of obsession on Ethan's end. Every single thought was about Brynne. It was worse than reading a YA book with loads of hard ons. Seriously, the man gets a hard on every time he thinks of Brynne...which is ALL THE TIME!However, I tend to like the super protective men, and Ethan is definitely that, or at least tries to be. Not Kristen Ashley protective by any means...the man runs a security firm but...

Ok so this part of the book cracked me up.. Literally Lolling! hit it off by talking books- something trending about a very young billionaire and his obsession with an even younger woman... and sex... Lots of erotic sex scenes in this book, like apparently every page. Neil and I looked sympathetically at each other and had absolutely nothing to add ti the conversation. I mean who reads this crap? Who has time? Why even read about sex in a book when you can have it instead? I don't get that. An...

Book review 11/9/12: Awesome book 2... Highly entertaining throughout most of it. My only complaint is that it seemed to drag at times, where as book one kept my interest throughout the whole thing & had me begging for more at the end. Not that I wanted another cliffhanger because hell no I absolutely did not. lol. Don't get me wrong, I still loved the book, slight dragging & all. Who wouldn't love Ethan & all of his yummy glory? He is probably one of my favorite male characters & I just loved t...

Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone At last, one of the most hotly anticipated sequels of the year is finally here and it’s another sexy read, probably about twice as long as Naked and, interestingly, told entirely from Ethan’s POV.We pick up exactly where we left them at the end of Naked with Brynne running from Ethan and Ethan losing his head in rage and grief and regret. He’s a broken man at the beginning of this one, a wretched cre

★★★★★! All in, book 2 of 4. The suspenseful continuation of Ethan Blackstone’s all-consuming romance saga with his American girl while trying to protect her & uncover secrets in a deadly high-stakes political game! “It’s all in for me. And I want it to be all in for you too.” “All in?” She brought her palm to my cheek and held it there, her questioning look so genuine……“A poker term. Means to bet everything you have on the cards you’re holding. You’re what I’m holding.”

ALL IN!“You said you were all in.”“I am. With you, Brynne, I am, and I have been from the very start.” Ethan Blackstone behaves like a lovesick puppy after Brynne left him at the end of previous book. He writes her a letter describing how he feels. And it works! Brynne will talk to him again.“I knew I had found my angel at last and I would hold onto her with everything I had.” We have Ethan's POV in this book. I have to be honest that sometimes I couldn't believe that an Alpha male would think a...

5 stars for the one and only **HOT/SEXY Mr.Blackstone** "I want my cock in you all night long."This is the continued love story of Ethan and Brynne. It picks right up where "NAKED" ended. "ALL IN" is told in Ethan's POV, and he is just PERFECT and AMAZING. Ethan has some secrets in his past, that have not been revealed and we are just now seeing the whole truth about poor Brynne's past. I love this book series and can't wait to see how this story unfolds in Part 3.... "EYES WIDE OPEN" "Sh

Wow. I finished the book and all I can ask is WTH happened? Ethan turned into a complete wuss and the writing came across as more of a teenage couple instead of adult. I'm totally shocked at how different the voice of the author is in All In compared to Naked. I realize this story is told from Ethan's POV but still the writing felt totally generic, boring, no substance or emotional draw like I felt from the first book. This story totally ruined Ethan's character for me. All the self-assurance an...
