My Review:
Ever since reading More of You, I couldn’t wait to read All of Me and it didn’t disappoint at all. A.L. Jackson haw once again managed to deliver a truly heartwarming story about second chances at life and love.
At the beginning of the story we get to meet Ian Jacobs, he is at a gala that his firm is throwing for charity. Having worked closely with the partners at the Millstrom, Garcia & Grant firm he knows exactly what to do to gain their favor and stay on top. But he feels that he should be in charge and wants the power all to himself. Ian will stop at nothing until he gets what he wants or so he thinks. It’s at the gala that he sees a beautiful stranger and all he wants to do is make her his. Yet, after spending a short time together she backs away and runs telling him that she can’t be with him. He can see that she is heartbroken and vulnerable so when she runs away from him he can’t help but to chase after her. Ian knows that he is not capable of having a relationship, not when he has a whole different future ahead of him but Grace has made a mark on him and he can’t seem to get her out of his head. That is until she shows up at his office asking for him that everything in his life is about to change forever.
Grace Dearborne holds a massive weight on her shoulders, one that she can’t seem to let go no matter how much she tries. Her future has been threatened as well as the ones she loves the must and she is not going to stop until she is safe again. She had only one thing in mind when she attended the gala and that was to find a powerful attorney to fight a powerful empire. Yet, things turned out differently when she meets Ian. He is very handsome man who can make her forget her worries and he seems trustworthy enough to let him in. But that’s exactly what she can’t do and she runs away hoping to never see him again. That is until destiny brings them back together and she asks him to help her fight a battle that could potentially damage his career forever. Needless to say, when they start to spend time together the more close they get and she has to figure out if a relationship with him is worth it or not.
I absolutely loved reading All of Me, it was a well thought out story and written story from beginning to end. The characters go through ups and downs as they discover if they are truly meant to be with each other. Ian is your typical bad boy who has the money and looks to get just about anyone that he wants but his ultimately goal is to make partner at the firm. He doesn’t care for anything else until he meets Grace. She is a hair stylist who is making ends meet in order to support her family. But she holds a secret, one that could change her future with Ian. She knows that he is her only choice when she finds out that he is an attorney and when he decides to help her everything changes between them. That is until she finds out what Ian’s secret is that she wants to protect him as well. It’s evident that both of the characters have secrets of their own, but together they are unstoppable as long as they are together.
Although the story is part of a series, it is fine to read it on its own or after reading the first book. Some of the old characters do appear in this book, but the story is understandable without having read the first book. I cannot say enough good things about this story and the ending was everything. There is so much to this story that I enjoyed (not wanting to spoil it too much!). It’s a story worth checking out as well as the first story in the series. You will not regret it! :)

My Rating:
Her bestselling series include THE REGRET SERIES, CLOSER TO YOU, BLEEDING STARS, and FIGHT FOR ME novels. Grab A.L. Jackson’s latest novel, ALL OF ME, the second stand-alone novel in her brand-new CONFESSIONS OF THE HEART series.
If she’s not writing, you can find her hanging out by the pool with her family, sipping cocktails with her friends, or of course with her nose buried in a book.
