*whew* I need to catch my breath...

I just finished this amazing book and I'm still trying to catch my breath and settle my racing heart! This was a brilliant follow-up to the first book. I absolutely loved that this was all from Ethan's POV and the narrator (Shane East) was very swoon-worthy. He could read the phone book and I would happily listen for hours.

If you're looking for a hot romance with flawed characters, over-protective males and two people just trying to make a go of it, then this series will deliver. Just do yourself a favor and get this book right now. This series is so addictive and I can't get enough of Ethan and Brynne.

*Sigh....I am already agonizing over the wait for book 3.

10 Stars!!!

Leaving me wanting!!

I just hate to have to wait! At least book three will be out soon.

I loved this one. It's nice to hear the story from the male perspective. This entire book is from his point of view and thats refreshing for me.

I did enjoy the narrator. Being from "the south" made the narration sound nice to my ears because it sounded "english" to my untrained ears.

So in my opinion it was worth my credit. I pre-ordered book three and I don't do that unless I really like what I'm listening to.

Ethan's POV will blow your panties off!!,

This book is so good...I don't even have the words to do it justice here! Getting a wicked glimpse into Ethan's head pretty much blew my mind. He's naughty yes, but he's also incredibly human and he loves his girl so much it hurts. I love this story so much I can't wait for more, I seriously didn't want it to end...I laughed, I cried, I swooned, no joke, All In has everything. EVERYTHING!! Well done Raine Miller - you are completely scandalicious!!

A Sexy Brit Does Me In Every Time!

This book was PHENOMENAL! I thoroughly enjoyed every second of book 2 in the Blackstone series. Shane East---Ohhhhh Lordy is he an AWESOME narrator! His voice is ridiculous--in the best possible way. This second book is even better than the first, and I cannot wait to hear what happens next with Ethan and Brynne in book 3--which I've pre-ordered already. I know it's fiction but, I am always "smitten" by these great male leads in the books I listen to, and Ethan is definitely in my swoon-worthy category of male lead characters. He's flawed, possessive, with a smidge of crazy, but, I love it! The humor that is infused throughout the book had me laughing out loud, and the intensity of their relationship made me hang on every word until the end. This is without a doubt credit worthy or just buy the whole trilogy outright, you will not be disappointed.

Nothing really happened....

Sometimes I blame the narrator if a book just falls flat to me, but in this case it was the writing. I feel like someone told the writer “Okay your first book was full of hot scenes, but it was less than 4 hours long, so can you draw out this middle book so we can have a big finish?”

If you asked me what happened in this book I would say…well…Ethan showed his possessive side a bunch, and we learned more about Brynne’s past and why she is skittish…but other than that, and the hot graphic scenes, not so much in 6 hours! It was very much the middle of the story, laying down background information that I guess will be useful in the next book, but not sure.

I will of course buy the third book to find out what happens, but In the future I would link all the books as one book and call it like it is "a serial novel", not independent books. On a side note I did find it amusing that they referenced 50 actually IN this book, not by name of course, but it is clear what book they are referring to, and it made me kind of smile and also kind of confirmed that 50 was the grain of thought behind this book, but it just isn't reaching the mark.

Well HELLO Shane!!!!

I don't know if it was better writing or the male narrator, Shane's voice just turned me on, but this book was incredible and I couldn't stop listening!!!

The underlying sarcasm and internal dialog of the male character was so fun and hysterical! Well done......I hope the next book has the same narrator....PLEASE!!

Good sequal

Great follow up. This is not dual narration. Just like book 1, Grant narrated the beginning passage, then the rest of the book is narrated by East from Ethan's POV. Ethan POV is very good. I enjoyed is POV better than Brynne's. I loved when he was all jealous of Brynne’s friend. That whole street argument scene was awesome. The smexing was also good. I can't wait till book 3 comes out. Hopefully we will have a wedding...

Good buy or credit... if you plan to get the complete series as this is book 2

Ante up!

As with the first book, it was short but sweet. Just as good as the first, but it was at Ethan's perspective; loved it!!!

Wow, Erotic, Sexy & Ethan

Firstly I have to congratulate the narrator Shane East is just amazing depicting Ethan Blackstone. The stories continue from Naked and again it's sexy, erotic and all-consuming it’s just “All In” with Ethan & Brinn. Eagerly awaiting the conclusion in Eyes Wide Open.

spoke too soon

Any additional comments?

This story continues to shadow 50 Shades to the point that the book is even mentioned here. Very disappointing. First book ended SURPRISINGLY with her leaving him. Yes I know. Of course she does. Then the second book continues with a threat to her life which demands additional security for the female character. Yet another SURPRISE!!! The female character is an only child while the male character has a sister and a male cousin who is almost like a brother to him and the trio plus Brynne are very similar to you know which other book. Not original at all!!! Let me guess, hmmmmm. The person who is after Brynne is her friend from the coffee shop. Not sure but the suspense is killing me, NOT.
