But when London feels confident enough to return to the spotlight, she’s dealt another devastating blow. Will the newfound love between London and Finn be enough to conquer all? Or will it be over before it has a chance to grow?


Book Review

4/5

All The Way is a story of Finn, a hotshot lawyer, and London, a Tony Award winning actress on Broadway. They met in the most devastating circumstances when Finn was in-charge in reading London's parents will when they died. It wasn't the right time for them. 

When London flees Manhattan and both landed on the same place escaping the hustle and bustle of the city, Finn decided to try again. This time, London opened herself up. It wasn't easy. Losing her parents, not to mention the injuries that she sustained when her parents died and not coming back to the stage. It took a toll on her. Coming back to the place where she feels most comfortable with is the start of her healing process. It helped that she had a hottie for a neighbor and his problematic niece with him.

Finn knew he made a wrong moved when he asked her the first time. But he wasn't making the same mistake again. Bringing her niece down to the beach seemed to be the best decision he's ever made. 

What's to like? I love strong heroines. Those women who doesn't need a man to complete them, works their a** off, and doesn't need someone to take care of them. London is simply that. She's an amazing woman who have been through hell and yet, she came out strong, with some bruises, but still standing. I like how the story came about. How explosive the two of them are, and how strong the connection is. They support each other, and how London is not afraid to speak her mind. 

What do I not like much? Well, both of them are pretty stubborn and needs a lesson or two in communication. Finn is just amazing, and would do anything for London - without her asking for it. So he just does things for her, thinking she needs them without consulting her. Yep, you might want to guess what happens then. Like London, I get frustrated with Finn sometimes. Because it didn't happen just once. 

Overall, I enjoyed reading ALL THE WAY - it's sexy, and sweet. You'd fall in love with the characters (at least most of them), and hyped up the anticipation you feel for the next one in the series. It's a great start. It's Kristen Proby - you can't really go wrong with her.
