All of You by Kyra Lennon

An emotional heartwarming romantic story with wonderful characters, lots of tension, and burning desires.

I follow this author on TicTok but it was the cover that really sold it to me. What a stunning guy. I was also on the look out for a paperback that I could read while I’m out.

Shannon meets Cal in a pub. He is the rough and ready type, and one her parents would not approve of. But they just clicked like it was meant to be.

But our Jack-the-lad Cal, has a dark secret and there were many things about him that took Shannon by surprise. Me too – a lot of – well I see didn’t see that coming!

No spoilers but the classroom scene was the first gasp out loud moment. Wow! I had not expected that. I knew by then this story was going to be more than just a nice romance.

We delved deep into Shannon and Cal’s thoughts as each had their own chapter. To say I loved this book is an understatement. I adored it. I loved the protagonists and those who played major parts in their lives. It was an incredible story, full of tension and emotion and gut wrenching scenes.

Kyra Lennon is a new author to me and I now know, a talented and gifted one too. She knows how to write emotion that will move you. I never cry over something I’ve read, but welled up with this one. The only other book I did that with was Julia Blake’s Chaining Daisy.

Most novels have some sort of slump in the middle. It’s the place where I lose a little interest before it picks up pace again. It was not the case in All For You. I devoured every word and every scene.

The only things I didn’t like were the love scenes that were too graphic, although easy enough to skip. The paperback was too large to hold comfortably and the font strained my eyes. At times I struggled. I probably should have gone for the ebook, but then I wouldn’t have be able to gaze at Cal on the front cover!

Overall, All of You is a fantastic book. A heart-warming, beautiful story that will keep readers glued to every page. I cannot recommend it enough. If I could give it more than five stars, I would.

Blurb

One night was all they ever intended. They soon realise the old saying is true—opposites do attract.

Callum Lewis lives a no-complications life. No long-term women, no staying overnight, and absolutely no commitment. Keeping emotions at arm’s length is his number one skill—that and trying to navigate life as a single dad to a five-year-old.

Until Shannen Morgan changes everything.

As lust turns to feelings, Cal fights an internal battle between keeping Shannen in his life and pushing her away to protect her from his dark past. But when the skeletons are forced out of Cal’s closet, can he keep his girl and the future he’s started to want?

Shannen has never known anything as frivolous as a one-night stand. Her professional image as a primary school teacher just wouldn’t allow such a thing, not to mention her country club, upper-middle-class upbringing. She certainly wouldn’t dream of having a quickie with the stubbled bad boy she meets in a bar.

So, why can’t she keep away from him?

As Shannen falls hard for the rugged charmer, she struggles to balance the relentless disapproval from her judgemental best friend with the freedom she’s found in the arms—and bed—of a man who wants her for who she is and not as a suitable little housewife. However, when secrets from Cal’s younger years bubble to the surface, will Shannen be able to overlook his sins, or will she retreat into the safety of the predictable life she’s always known?

With friendships, a career, and family ties on the line, is love really enough to overcome all they stand to lose?
