4.5 starsIf you want sexy and romantic...this is the book for you! I liked Working It, but I really liked Craving Him. The story came together nicely and I felt that this book had a much better flow. Overall, simply stronger.What worked for me:~I really fell for Ben this time. I liked him the last time, but I wasn't completely sold.~I appreciated that Emmy still had her guard up a bit. Ben's life is very different than what's she's used to. Despite the fact that she's worked briefly in the industry, it's way different when you're personally involved. And given Ben's history, I felt it was natural for her to be a bit reluctant to jump right in.~I loved the scene when she takes him home and her brother catches them on the couch. It made me laugh and I felt that it showed a playful side of them.~I loved that Ben never gave up on Emmy. He was determined to make things right between them. I also loved that he was willing to try and move past his fears of commitment.~Fiji...need I say more.~The sex was definitely hot! I felt it was a bit more intimate this time too. Don't get me wrong, there were moments of raw sex, but also more meaningful moments between them. And I still love Ben's dirty mouth. It works for me.What didn't work:~Even though I liked Ben much better this time, there were times that I felt like he was just a bit manipulative. His fears of being left and alone, kind of got on my nerves because I felt like he was throwing a temper tantrum.Overall, I really enjoyed it. I read it in one sitting and it kept my attention the whole way through. I was happy to see them get their s*** together and give their relationship an honest go. I loved the ending too. It made me smile. The other thing that made me smile is...Ellie and Bray. I want them, need them to have a book. I'm crossing my fingers that All or Nothing is their book! I love them both. If you're looking for a steamy read, check this one out!Quotes:~"...You remind me that there's so much more to life. You're my something real to grasp on to at the end of the day. You ground me."-Loc 1394~The more I got of him, the more I craved of him. The deeper I began to understand him, the more I wanted to know. The closer we got physically, the more of myself I wanted to give him.-Loc 1568
