I recommend All of You to New Adult readers who are looking for something a little different. The reason? The hot male lead is a virgin! Bennett Reynolds, the sexy, tattoo-artist neighbor of nursing student Avery, is looking for a loving and meaningful relationship, and not just a random hook-up. Which is not to say he hasn’t had some experience.“Damn it, Bennett,” I panted. “How in the hell do you know how exactly to drive me insane?”“I said I was a virgin, Avery. Not a saint.”“Or even a monk, apparently,” I mumbled. I felt him smile against my skin.The main character, Avery, keeps giving away pieces of herself by hooking up with other guys but she keeps her real feelings locked away. With Bennett’s help, she finds the strength to confront the demons in her past, and confront the past demons which keep her from forming a loving relationship. I liked how strong her character was. I also liked Avery’s relationship with her best friends, which was funny and realistic.The best part of All of You was without a doubt Bennett! I loved that he was both sexy and romantic, artistic and extremely honest. No game-playing here. I loved the dialogue between Bennett and Avery and yes, they had tons of chemistry together. All in all, Christina Lee’s debut novel is a very refreshing and yet very sexy read. I am looking to more from her in the future!
