review 1: Pulchritudinous [pukl-kri-tood-n-uh-s]: adj. physically beautiful, comely; n. formal, literary or physical beautyWhat can you say about a man that would use such an unknown/rare word to describe how beautiful you are when he sees your naked body for the first time? I'll admit, I had to look this word up. I didn't expect to find it's definition to be so utterly romantic. And ladies, that's exactly what we get when we read All for Allie. In this story we get to read Wyatt's POV. In this companion piece several parts of the story are filled and explained as to Wyatt's whereabouts and whys. We also see how intense his friendship with Kyly (Allie's brother) was and deeply his love for Allie runs and that he'll fight to win back her love. Wyatt is another one of the good ... moreguys. His one and only love is Allie and he won't let her go. As I fell in love with Blake in Shattered & Shaken, I began to see Wyatt in a new light. As I read this story, I began to feel torn between Wyatt and Blake. They both loved Allie completely and unconditionally and treated her as if she was the only woman in the world. I can say that Allie is one lucky girl to have both of these amazing men after her heart.As did the first book, I had to fight back tears. This was another emotional read and though it was a novella, it added so much to this series.All for Allie gets 5 Naughty Stars for making me feel so much in this novella.
review 2: Even though the timeline of this novella takes place before book 1, I strongly advise you read Shattered and Shaken before this, as it contains spoilers. For such a short read, WOW does it pack a punch and I have no hesitation whatsoever in saying this novella is a 5 Star read. This book is told from Wyatt's point of view and takes place around the time when Ryan, Allies brother, enlists with the US Marine Corps. It explains to us why Wyatt just up and left, with no explanation 4½ years ago.The emotion that I felt was missing in book 1, was all crammed into this story and more. I feel the authors main talent lies in writing from the male perspective and some of the negative feelings I had towards a certain character in book 1 are proving to be accurate and I can't wait to get stuck into the next book and find out once and for all if Allie will have her happy ever after with Wyatt or Blake. I'm not sure if it's the authors intention to have the reader hope for a reconciliation between Wyatt and Allie, but what I love about this series so far is the fact that it's written in a way that I am able to change my mind on who gets the girl. Usually with books of this type my mind is set on one outcome and that doesn't change throughout the series, but that's just not the case this time and that makes it all the more exciting and why I'm so eager to start the next book. less
