Review: All or Nothing – Lexi Ryan

**ALL OR NOTHING is a short, sexy, new adult romance and is also available as part of the ALL I EVER WANTED anthology.**

After years of placing the wrong bets, all Aubree Baxter ever wanted was someone to take a chance on her. More specifically, she wants golden boy Kennedy Hale, her good friend and unrequited crush. After a seduction attempt gone terribly wrong, she knows pursuing anything more than friendship with Kennedy means sure heartbreak. If they’re going to make this work, it has to be ALL OR NOTHING.

Reviewer’s Thoughts

Lexi Ryan knows how to develop characters quickly and she does a fantastic job in this novella and is part of the All I Ever Wanted Anthology. The story is set in Abbott Springs during Winterfest with a group of friends that grew up together and even after graduating keep up the same traditions. Aubree moved away from Abbott Springs right after graduation and can’t seem to find a permanent home. She is carefree sometimes reckless in her decision making. Kennedy is the polar opposite. He is the town golden boy (future mayor) who only left Abbott Springs for college but is expected to return to take over for his father. He always does the right thing and overthinks all decisions about his future. The two have been best friends there entire lives but something has happened between them that has caused a pretty large rift. Will they make amends? The two clearly care for each other but can they figure out a way to have what they both want?

There was a ton of character development packed in these few pages and I wished it could have been drawn out longer. I guess by now I shouldn’t be surprised that I would love even a novella from Lexi Ryan. She is always a one-click for me!
