Coffee Dates with All I Want is You
First Date: We meet Christy Knight and she is struggling with loss, financial woes and direction. I immediately liked her, despite the fact she was about to make a mistake in the name of family. When she locks herself out of her apartment, she reaches out to Jack DuVall a handyman who lives across the street. I immediately swooned. The man is ruggedly good looking with a five o’clock shadow and an easy smile. Add some nice abs and a tool belt and I am swooning. Beneath that smile, there is a whole lot of hurt and pain. Secrets, electric sexual tension and fleshed out characters have me fully engaged.
Second date: A trip to Coral Cove to visit her Grandpa has Jack tagging along and the sparks are flying; however, fear is keeping their emotions in check. A thunderstorm and a heated kiss show us the potential of this relationship and boy howdy am I rooting for these two! I am concerned about the secrets but also pleased with the growth we see in both characters. Ooo I love Coral Cove and all of its quirky characters. I fell hard for a giant iguana named Fi-Fi who is sure to make you smile. The secondary characters add charm, interest, offer advice and just make the whole town come to life. There is a second love story threaded through the tale that was interesting.
Third date: Family advice, moonlight walks and confessions have me holding my breath. There is some angst, but it is a good kind. The characters are growing, healing, learning and opening their hearts. I am smiling, swooning and hoping like crazy these two make it work.
All I Want is You offered up a delightful romance, with lessons and just enough heat to curl my toes. I ended my dates with a smile. I look forward to going back for more coffee with the next Coral Cove novel.
