ALL OF YOU is the first book in Christina Lee's New Adult
Between Breaths Series.
Avery Michaels is a working, nursing student whose
mother's bad decisions and worst taste in men has left
her wanting nothing to so with love. Avery doesn't do
relationships, she can only handle a string of
uncomplicated, one night stands whenever the mood strikes
her. She will allow them in her bed, but that is all.
Avery spots Bennett at a party and tries to make a pass
at him, but he shows no interest. The next morning she
finds out that he is the new tenant upstairs. He is
sweet, a tattoo artist, and one of those rare guys who is
waiting for love before losing his virginity.
Bennett Reynolds has always been the man in a house full
of girls. He has always taken care of them. When his
mother finally marries, he goes off to college to pursue
his own career in art. Working at a local tattoo shop,
Bennett sees something special in Avery, and wants more
from her.
As Avery wrestles with her emotions for Bennett, a danger
from her past surfaces and forces her to open up to
Bennett in ways she never has anyone before. She must
also face the fact that she wants more from him too. The
choice she has to make is: Let him in or Let him go.
ALL OF YOU is Christina Lee's debut novel. Both Avery and
Bennett come from
similar home set ups, but instead of following down the
past of their mothers' the two had to grow up earlier
than other teens and both have a forged a path in their
lives that could not be anymore opposites. For Bennett,
that was waiting for love and taking care of his sisters.
It also left him wanting more from a girl than just her
body. As for Avery, due to what happened to her at the
hands of her mother's boyfriend, Tim, she feels she
doesn't need or deserve love in her life. If it weren't
for the love she has for one of her patients, Mrs.
Jackson, she might have passed on Bennett all together.
ALL OF YOU is a sweet romance with a bunch of sexual
tension. As a first to this series, it certainly is a
great start. This was one of those books that when you
sit down to read it, you and immediately sucked into it
and when it ends, you are left wanting more. I can not
wait to see how Christina Lee continues this series.
SUMMARY
In this powerfully emotional New Adult novel, 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, Avery can only handle 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 straitlaced
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.
