Cover Description:
After a failed marriage and quitting her high-pressure job, Carrie Steinhem is ready for uncomplicated fun. Love? Not what she’s looking for. She’d rather crash a wedding with her friends and find a hot hookup. The bride’s father is onto her, though. But just as her night out veers toward public embarrassment, a sizzling stranger sweeps in and claims Carrie as his date.
Potential hookup? Check. If she doesn’t get cold feet first.
Ryan Burton is on the fast track to a promotion…assuming he can avoid distractions and nail this new account. Except the woman he rescued at a friend’s wedding ends up not only being his new neighbor—she’s his client’s ex-wife. And his client has every intention of winning her back.
Carrie and Ryan would love to leave complicated alone, but when two people share a duplex and irresistible chemistry, temptation—and love—is right around the corner.
Read on for my thoughts on Going All The Way. No true spoilers, promise.
Going All The Way is a fun, charming romance – but the best character of all has to be Riley, hands down. Sorry, Carrie and Ryan but that energetic pup is absolutely adorable.
Carrie had been rescued from discovery as a wedding crasher by the most delectable stranger. Too bad their hook-up just wasn’t meant to be – at least not that night. Carrie soon discovers that Ryan is her neighbor, renting her ex-husband’s side of the duplex. Ryan discovers that Carrie may be close, but she’s also the ex-wife of a client he needs to win in order to snag that promotion. Complications are about to set in.
Since Carrie’s ex-husband is determined to win her back – something that she has no interest in what so ever, Ryan has some serious decisions to make, peruse the woman who makes him happy with sizzling chemistry or go for the promotion and land on her ex’s side. Not a good place to be. Add an adorable dog into the mix, and you have the chance for chaos and maybe your happy ever after.
I found Going All The Way to be a fun romance. Yes, there were times when I wanted to shake both of them for the way they were acting but eventually they worked out those issues. Sometimes you simply have to make a decision and stand behind it… or go home.
If you love Romance then this one is a story that you’d enjoy. A solid story and likable characters – plus an adorable pup — what’s not to enjoy?
