Rating: 5 out of 5

Spoilers on the first book: I read the first book Shattered and Shaken and liked it but disliked Wyatt.  From book 1 we saw that he abandoned Allie after taking her virginity.  He went with her brother to fight but did not tell anyone.  He left her pregnant and alone.  No contact for four years.  Then he comes back and expects to pick up where they left off.  She had since moved on to be with her friend Blake, who she had chemistry with.  Blake is a good guy and I really liked him.  Blake, a former player,  fell in love with her.  Wyatt not so much because at the cliffhanger we are left with him screwing Ally's best friend.  She still had feelings for him and I  felt bad for her.  I skipped reading All for Allie because it was from Wyatt's view point.  Did I mention he made me mad?Some spoilers on the second book: Then in book two we are given a reason as to why Wyatt was with her best friend.  Also up to the point, for four years he was faithful to her. Loved that part but sad that his faithfulness was gone.  Not blaming him.  I will not elaborate as to not spoiler it further. Knowing the reason it happened just made me sadder.  Even though I felt bad for Wyatt I still wanted her to end up with Blake.  Hats off to the author for not making Blake a bad guy.  It would have been easier to do that so everyone would then love Wyatt. That would have really bothered me.  I kept waiting for Blake to cheat on her but I was so happy that did not happen.  I loved him even more.Things happen in the story that bother me.  I will not say as to not spoiler further on that point.  The ending depressed me but it was an interesting and unique way to deal with a love triangle.  I had never read something like that before.  I liked that Allie did not have to choose.  I liked what happened with the children.  Again, trying not to give things away and so I will not explain further.  I do know that I do not what to read any more books in the series if they are about the guy who did not get the Ally and based on the ending it looks like it will be.  Weird I know but like how he is now and no offense to the author, I don't want to chance that it will be ruined. (It has happened too many times before with other books after multiple books)The book kept my attention.  I ignored the work I brought home,  my kids, my husband and read it for 1 1/2 hours straight until the end. I have to get up early tomorrow for work and will only get 4 hours of sleep because of it. (I am too worked up to relax right now because of the book, hence my review at 2:20 am. at night.  In summary, while the book depressed me (not a usual reaction) in many parts, the author did a good job and deserves the 5 star rating even though I did not love parts.  She did a good job and when I have a lot more time and am mentally prepare I will be brave and try another book of hers.
