All In is written from Ethan's viewpoint and maybe that is why I can't give it the 4 or 5 stars many readers have. He is more mysterious in the first book... with a self-confident, protective, posessive, controlling personality. In All In we learn about his insecurities and past horrors and his need for dominance in all aspects of his life. I think Ethan would remain a stronger enigmatic character if the story retained Brynne's point-of-view IMHO.
There is also a dinner scene where characters allude to Fifty Shades trending in the book market! Of course, there are plenty of steamy sessions, filthy talk, and similarities to Fifty Shades. But Ethan is no Christian Grey... at least, not yet.

Highly enjoyed this follow up to part 1. Now on to part 3. Can hardly wait to read what is next for these two!

This is a good continuation in this series. Again, it was another quick read for me as I wanted to find out more about these characters, their story and what happens next. I enjoyed this second book because we got a glimpse into the events that both Ethan and Brynne experienced in their past and how that may or may not be impacting their relationship. I also liked that even though Brynne that been traumatized by the event in her past she was strong enough to stand-up to Ethan and leave him when she found he lied to her. I also like the cast of secondary characters, especially Brynne's friend Gabrielle. I am looking forward to the next book in the series.

I really like the first one from Brynne's point of view but this one just didn't do it for me. I don't know if it is because it was from Mr. Blackstone's point of view or what I don't know.

Like many of the other reviews - I felt like this book was just filler until the 3rd book. Not much happened or was revealed. At times I was a little bored even.
Ethan was still hot as hell & SEXY. And the sex was definitely steamy.
Will still read the 3rd book of course!

A perfect sequel to Naked. Ethan and Brynne are a perfect couple each with their share of baggage, a common trope in modern romances, but Raine Miller pulls it off cleverly because of her engaging writing style and characters that leap of the page

3 stars. This series is not that well written and the characters are weird and robotic but damn are these books addicting. It's like a train wreck and I just wanna keep reading to see where it goes next. This book is in Ethan's point of view and it was so bizarre. His inner dialogue is the equivalence of a child being possessive over a toy but way more childish. He's a weird guy and I just don't get his character at all. Brynne is honestly no better but she was a little bit more tolerable here than she was in the first book. I'm here for the ridiculous drama and the cringy writing, not so much the romance because that's honestly not doing anything for me.
