All of You by Christina Lee was one of my favorite books in 2013 (it made my Top 10 Reads list!). I’m really excited for the next book in the series, Before You Break, to be released on February 18, 2014. In preparation of Before You Break, I wanted to share an updated review and some gorgeous teasers from All of You. Enjoy!
All of You (Between Breaths #1) by Christina Lee
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.
This book was fantastic! I was fascinated by the idea of a male virgin and knew I had to read it. I loved the idea that it was the guy in that situation, not the girl. I was immediately drawn in and immersed in these really great characters.
Avery and Bennett had such a wonderful relationship and I really enjoyed watching everything evolve. So much intensity, emotion, and heat. Oh my the heat! I thought my Kindle might combust!!!
There were a few parts that I really got choked up. Learning about their pasts, especially during a scene during the end. Great mix of drama too. Excellent writing. I would definitely recommend this book.
I originally reviewed this book on September 20, 2013. You can find my full review HERE.
