All I Want Is You - Falon Ballard

 


Not a fan of this book. I've read some of this author's other books which I really enjoyed but I was disappointed in the writing of this one. I could instantly tell it was very off and I wasn't very engaged. The characters weren't exactly flat or boring but the way it was written didn't bring out the best in them in my opinion. The book also heavily relies on second chance as a trope, and we don't know why the MCs first broke up for a substantial part of the story. With that suspense being dragged out forever, I was expecting something much better than the reasoning we got and that adds on to why I didn't love this novel.


I don't recall the spice being such a big part of other books I've read by the author, either because there were fewer such scenes or because they weren't highlighted as much. I'm not big on steamy scenes but don't usually mind them, BUT the sheer number and intensity in this novel actually made me uncomfortable at times. My favorite aspects of the book are definitely the grand gesture in the end (which I think is so adorable and that happening to me is such a dream), and the amazing insights we got into the world of publishing and how it functions.
