The English male character from Naked gets his own say in this erotic sequel. Ethan Blackstone had begun a mainly physical relationship with an American art student called Brynne Bennett after buying a nude photo of her. A rich businessman, Ethan provides security to VIPs.

ALL IN opens with Ethan remembering how great it had been to see Brynne's art restoration work, then chastising himself for losing her by having lied to her about why he wanted to date her. Brynne agrees to have a conversation with Ethan and tells him of her past betrayal by a young rich man, and her less than fully supportive family. She can't stand any more betrayals and is scared of a complex relationship. However he manages to persuade her to take him on again and they go pretty much back to where they were. Ethan is still going behind Brynne's back about her life and still expects sex every time and place he wants it. But then some security issues arise and give us some action.

ALL IN may appeal to fans of erotic romance novels and to anyone who has enjoyed the first installment in The Blackstone Affair series. Raine Miller has tried to appeal to markets on both sides of the Atlantic with her mix of characters, and American senatorial elections rear their head to add some depth. Unfortunately, I was really distracted by Ethan's frequent swearing because he uses American words, not Anglo. The author notes at that, as an American woman, she was not sure how to write as an English man. I would suggest asking a British person to read her dialogue and provide feedback.

The third book, Eyes Wide Open, will return to Brynne's point of view.
