WHAT??? Didn't see that coming!

The second book picks up just as the first is ending. We meet up with Kate and Dominic again, see where they are and how they are doing.

I forgot to mention in the first book, these books are written in third person perspective so we not only see the thoughts of H/H but also from many others around them. It is very different, excellent!

There is a bit more angst in this story, Kate annoys me a tad more and Dominic just kind of pisses me off a few times. Growing pains and all. Hold on for the ride. When things are good, they are so good. These two are so similar to each other and they just don't see it. This is a necessary book and as with many second books of three this is the growing book. There is a lot of growth, change and a bit of revelation (mostly internal).

I've seen comments about not getting some conclusion or resolution with Dominic's parents, after learning about them more and more, I don't understand the point. We've met his mother twice by now and she is a NIGHTMARE! We meet his father briefly later on and he is as well. So my response to any thoughts or concerns on that simply is that I don't think the parents are currently relevant. They are relevant to the troubles in his past and the difficulties he now faces, but them presently would not help.

I love so many of the secondary characters. I really love that we get to see snippets of their thoughts as well.

On to book 3, will it be less difficult for our H/H? One can only hope!

Erotic romance with the chase

This is the first time I have ever listen to anything from this offer.

This is an explicit erotic romance. I found the authors story line to be intriguing., and the narrator to be equally as good.

I enjoy the stories of billionaires chasing a woman that turns him down, and learning about each of their secrets.

So if this is the kind of storyline novel you enjoy and get this. I found myself buying the second and third to the series as well.

Susan Johnson!!! I knew this book was yours!!!

Wow, I seriously loved that you are still writing. I bought every book of yours before Amazon books went to Amazon and was coming kinda sad when I had to scope around Amazon for you typing in your name but it showed CC Gibbs, so I took a chance and lost myself in these series and I realized that YESSS, This Susan Johnson !!!”

Just Okay

While Gibbs is a talented writer and the sex scenes enticing, by halfway through book number two in this series I could no longer stand Catherine's (sp?) whiney, brainless pleading. I hope she grows up by book three. I'm just not willing to wait one cry-baby moment longer to find out.

THE PLOT THICKENS !!

If you could sum up All He Needs in three words, what would they be?

Extreme feelings evoked.

What was one of the most memorable moments of All He Needs?

Can't say without giving it away.

Which character – as performed by Elena Wolfe – was your favorite?

Katherine & Dominic

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I did have extreme reactions; I laughed, cried, got frustrated and wanted to let my inner child stomp her feet & scream obscenities to Dominic and hurl insults to Kate for "giving-in".

Any additional comments?

With all of that being said above, I very much enjoyed this series and I'm glad there were a few twists thrown in in this book. The plot of this entire series is a bit weak but not so much so as to stop me from listening and moving on to the next book.

Not for me

Any additional comments?

Many times I was tempted to not finish this, and did stop for a while, but I paid for the audiobook and didn’t want to waste the money so I finally finished listening. And let me just say, I very rarely leave a bad review. If I don’t like a book I just don’t review it, but I just couldn’t stay silent on this series.

As far as the narrator, she did an excellent job with what she had to work with. Kudos to her on the pronunciation of all those fancy-schmacy words!

What I listened to was a story of two self-centered, dysfunctional characters. Both were irritating. They argued pre-sex, during sex (which was really frustrating) and the arguing continued after sex. Sometimes they argued over nothing at all and I was left wondering what the hell was that? The heroine was written like a mindless nympho at times, however she was supposed to be a small town girl brainy MIT graduate, who, before meeting the hero had very little sex with her past two partners and didn’t orgasm, to boom! Coming, and coming, and dripping, and dripping, and begging like a cat in heat along with whining and being greedy for her own pleasure to the point it became nauseating. The extremely rich hero of course, had been with scores of women and was portrayed as a sexpert at getting women off. A handsome rich man with a bad childhood, incapable of love character that is becoming so much of a cliché in romance novels these days. He was beyond an ass at times, mean and just because he had a big D**k and big bank account and knew how to use them, didn’t make him appealing. As far as the two of them as a couple, like I said. Dysfunctional. If they weren’t pissed off and arguing, they were loving and sweet-talking, can’t live without the other, overly possessive, then boom! Arguing and saying horrible things to each other. It gave me whiplash. Then there was head-hopping, head-hopping, and more head-hopping. Not only between the H/h but the secondary characters as well. And the formality of the writing was way over-the-top with a crap-ton of words very few people actually use in their everyday vocabulary. Can you say, thesaurus, thesaurus, thesaurus! Pretentious, pretentious, pretentious! This in itself became distracting because I was jarred from the story trying to translate what was being said into everyday lingo. And what small town American girl who has been raised without the privileges of the worldly jet-setting wealthy would think, talk or even know all those highfaluting words, let alone all the proper designer names of designer clothing, priceless antiques, the freaking architectural styles of all the many homes, apartments, offices, names of cars, boats, jets, etc.

I’m sorry, but there were too many issues with this series for me.
