I didn’t want to give mine to him. Not when he kept
me out.
He gave me enough, just enough to make me fall in
love with him. I say this to convince myself. But I know the truth.
I would’ve fallen in love with him at a distance.
Handing my heart over to Luke was the easiest thing
I’ve ever done. I was naive when I wished for more, when I hoped he wanted the
same things I did.
I try to hate him. I try to forget him.
But it’s not that easy.
Love is a ruthless bitch, and I’m her latest victim.
When she sets her sights on you, she doesn’t just
consume your heart, she goes for your soul.
What we had was perfect, real, and all I would ever
want.
But she destroyed it.
She destroyed us.
I try to hate her. I try to forget her.
But it’s not that easy.
Love is for people who have hope, and I have none.
Tessa and Luke. They absolutely can’t stand each other…but really they are perfect for each other! All I Want is the second book in the Alabama Summer series and can be read as a standalone although it is recommended that you read Book #1 first. I have not read the first book and I still loved this second installment in the series. The sex is HOT, the attraction undeniable and the story fast-apced and gripping! Tessa and Luke are two incredibly stubborn people who just can’t seem to stop torturing each other. Tessa broke up with Luke for what she thought was good reason (if a little misguided) and while he can’t forgive her, he also can’t seem to stay away from her, either.
I’m a sucker for a hot Alpha in a uniform and Luke is one protective, sexy cop. He has a very, very painful family life, one that he hides from Tessa, much to her dismay. Despite her initial resentment of Luke, and jealousy over his random hook-ups, she really wants to be there for him emotionally.
Much of this book is spent with these two fighting and then having scorching hot sex. J. Daniels can really write a super-hot, sexy and fast-paced read that will keep you very entertained. This book is as lighthearted as some of her other books but it is very enjoyable and I recommend it for fans of second-chance romance and super-hot, sexy, Southern Alphas who won’t take no for an answer! And not to fear, these two have a HEA, even after all of their emotional ups and downs. And I can’t wait for the next book in this series, Reed! Bring it on!

of his nose that I see as this perfect imperfection.
