review 1: Ever read a book that gets in your head and stays there, It leaves you feeling lost without it once it's over? This is definitely one of those....once again Jettie didn't disappoint. It's a unique, original storyline about fear, regrets, sacrifice and most of all the power of love and forgiveness. Be prepared to be sucked in and forget about the world around you for several hours...because once you start there is no turning back. Just take my words of advice and be warned that it will play on EVERY one of your emotions.You will laugh at sweet Maddie's innocence and you will wanna scream at Whitley and Alex one minute only to cheer them on the next. No spoilers here my friends....you must experience each raw love/hate emotion just as I did. So buckle up and enjoy the wild r... moreide!!!!~Karen4.5 Stars
review 2: All For Maddie is the story of a 17 year old girl who finds herself in a situation which forever changes her life. Dragged to a college party by her best friend Kylie, this is their last hoorah before Kylie moves to Lincoln. Not wanting to spoil the fun with her friend, Whitley stays and drinks some punch to help her loosen up and act older than the 17 years she really is.Whitley’s sixth sense is telling her something is not right. The hot, good looking college senior, Alex Wesson was talking and flirting with her and not her gorgeous friend. Was he really interested in her? To ease her nerves, Whitley continues to drink, dance and just have fun, no longer worried about getting caught for sneaking out by her over protective dad. The drinking continued and Whitley ends up in Alex’s bedroom, then everything fades to black…..Fast forward almost 4 years and Whitley now has a 3 year old little girl, Madelyn. Maddie makes everything Whitley has gone through worth it. The struggles of a teenage mother, making ends meet and raising a stubborn 3 year old on her own have made her grow up quickly. Not able to leave for long periods of time because of Maddie, Whitley is exhilarated to have a weekend alone in Lincoln. The bachelorette party for Kylie at a bar promises to be a great time, until Whitley sees Alex Wesson walk in. The haunting images from almost 4 years ago come crashing back, and Whitley runs for the bathroom, physically ill from the sight of him. Making excuses, Whitley leaves the bar and goes out front to hail a cab. A voice from the past, comes crashing into the present outside and ignites the anger she has been trying to suppress. Alex tries to apologize for that night, but reminds her of the orgasm she did experience. On some level, she must have enjoyed it. Whitley completely loses her cool at his asinine remarks. Screaming with rage, she reminds him that he raped her, while she was too drugged or drunk to do anything about it. Jumping in the cab, she leaves, vowing never to see Alex again.A few weeks later, a white sports car pulls up and Alex Wesson gets out at her family’s campground. This cannot be happening to her! Panic shoots through her body as she tries unsuccessfully to try to hide Maddie from Alex. He eventually comes face to face with the adorable 3 year old and she can see the gears turning in his head as he does the math and realizes Maddie is his child. He demands to be part of his daughter’s life and will do anything to have that chance. Whitley is blackmailed. He threatens to take Maddie away from Whitley, saying he will be granted sole custody. She makes a deal with the devil, Alex, and moves to Lincoln so Alex and Maddie can form a relationship. They pretend to be the perfect little family in front of their parents and friends for months until it doesn’t feel like a sham any longer. Can this be real after such an ugly incident brought them together in the first place?This book gets 4.5 stars! I could not stop reading it and stayed up until the early hours of the morning to finish it. This was such a well written rollercoaster, with twist and turns, ups and downs. At one point you actually love Alex, and how he is with Maddie and Whitley. The next, you absolutely loathe the snake he is and his manipulative ways. Whitley is portrayed as a tired, over stressed young mother, who had to grow up quickly. Her only escape is alcohol and she uses it to ease the pain and numb the outside world. Truly a great read. I thoroughly enjoyed the book and the fantastic conclusion was just perfect! less
