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.

Don’t you hate it when real life gets in the way of a great book? I do. Thankfully, I had my iPad to carry around to read All of You. I just couldn’t put it down because Bennett was worth my time. All of You is one of those books you can pick up and be done within few hours.

Avery is a young girl who’s not willing to let her guard down. She’s been hurt at such a young age and is afraid to open up. Even with her complicated childhood, Avery is very confident, determined to keep control and most of all have control over boys. She wants nothing but random uncomplicated hookups, allowing boys into her pants but not into her heart. Until she meets Bennett, Avery world is turned upside down. Avery must make the decision of letting him in or letting him go.

Bennett. What I can say about Bennett? In five words: Hot-steamy… tattoed… loving… protective… caring. Toe-curling. Breathtaking. Oh yeah, five words? Right... You can’t really describe his character into five words. You just can’t. He will steal your heart from the very beginning. Bennett wants Avery, but he is all or nothing type of guy. He wants more than just a one-night stand. He is waiting for the right girl to give his all, even his virginity.

All of You is beautiful NA debut filled with hot steamy scenes. It’s filled with lots of emotions. God, how I freaking LOVE the first kiss scene! That is one of the BEST first kiss I ever read! It left me breathless. The chemistry between the main characters will blow you away. This is a must read!
