All In by Emma ScottMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Beautifully Poignant Romance
This is the second book in the Full Tilt Duet and is as good as the first. I took a break between the two books because it took me so long to recover from the first as it was so emotional. This book is slightly less traumatic but no less beautiful.
After Kacey disappears and the rest of the family falls apart, Theo finally receives word 6 months later from a worried colleague that Kacey is in New Orleans and needs help. He drops everything to get to her and reach out a hand. This meeting starts a very slow process of healing for them both and Jonah’s family.
I love how Kacey and Theo’s relationship develops slowly over thousands of hours on the phone. I also like how Kacey manages to pick herself up with support of her new friends in New Orleans and Theo over the phone and a few trips to visit.
The author manages to convey the beauty of both Las Vegas and New Orleans, both very different cities. I always enjoy it when an author helps me understand the environment the characters live in because your surroundings definitely help shape your state of mind and New Orleans is a place of healing for Kacey.
I would recommend you get your box of tissues ready whilst reading this book. It’s almost as much of a tear jerker as the first, but not quite. Only read this if you are in need of an emotional release. This is a not a cheerful easy read, but it is a very satisfying one that helps you feel lighter for having read it. I will definitely be looking out for this author again, but maybe after lockdown ends!
