Publisher's summary

When a wedding planner’s first gig teams her up with a sexy stuntman, will she crash and burn…or be airlifted to love?

Behind Eli McCain’s Texas drawl lies an extreme sports lover, a former Hollywood stuntman…and a broken heart. Left at the altar a year ago, he’s not happy when Thrillseekers Anonymous, the extreme sports club he cofounded, gets into the celebrity wedding business. Especially since Marnie Banks, the wedding coordinator with the stunning smile and sexy curves, never stops talking.

Marnie, meanwhile, hopes planning an A-list celebrity wedding will be her ticket to success. If only her glamorous clients weren’t constantly throwing outrageous demands at her. And if only Eli wasn’t so guarded - and so jaw-droppingly handsome.

But when the wedding turns from extreme to extremely disastrous, Eli and Marnie must work together against the elements, their bickering clients, and their own smoldering attraction to save the day. Will the sparks flying between them ignite into something real and passionate…or will they both end up burned?

Fun and touching

Loved listening to this story it was not predictable so it you wanted to keep going to see what happened next.

great Lite read!

if you're looking for a Sweet Love Story without too much depth or complex detail, this is a really great book to just relax and enjoy.

Like the story. Hate the male voice

I really liked the story, but I couldn’t get past the fact that the male lead sounded like an old timer in a mining town.

good story

I would have given this book 4 stars, but the narrator sounds like my grandma.

Light and realistically contemporary

Would you listen to All I Need Is You again? Why?

I'd listen again because the characters were so darn like able and because I love Renee Raudman's narration.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Marnie. Like all of us, she's had tough times. Not traumatic but challenging. But she still believes in people and opportunities and she's not going to give up on her dream of being a wedding planner because the situation isn't made-to-order.

What does Renee Raudman bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Renee is the bomb with vocal characterization.

Any additional comments?

I'm looking forward to the next installment of Thrillseekers.

Simple romance.

I rarely go for straight contemporary romance but I happened to get this book for next to nothing and it sounded fun. I enjoyed it, it was a typical romance with the buildup and a misunderstanding at the end that needs to be fixed. I was hoping for more of an adventure and that Marnie to have gone on the trip up the mountain and have spent more time there. I was hoping for more adventuring from a story that the main characters were extreme sport experts. Overall it was typical but engaging romance, 3.5 overall rating. Narrator was good.

Romantic but....

I’m a Julia London fan, but I’m new to her contemporary work. My main problem is that many of Marnie’s antics—which are supposed to be the source of humor—are really the outcome of her having no backbone and being a wuss. There’s nothing funny about that. Fortunately, this only shows up in her work as a wedding planner and not in her love life. I just wish they were funny instead of evidence of a woman who needs to be in an assertiveness training program. So there are some seriously irritating parts and parts that could’ve been fixed or prevented earlier. Nonetheless, the romance that the author manages to create, especially the last hour or 30 minutes of the book are so enchanting that it erases the irritating parts that occurred earlier. So it might be worth buying at the end. The narrator is perfect in trying to make things funny, but she does a poor job when having to do two foreign accents. They were almost offensive. But overall, I really enjoyed the narrator b/c the foreign accents were such a small part of the book. So I don't know whether to recommend or not. Though I can say that I don't regret having purchased this book, but I'm also not rushing to purchase more of her contemporary work nor running from the possibility in the future. So.....

Nice listen.

I guess this was a reissue from books past and this is the first in the series according to its preface at the beginning of the audio. It was a cute fun story. Entertaining with some comical parts. Very sweet as well. The price is good for the length so I enjoyed it. Narration was okay as well. Worth the price.

NOT HEART-POUNDING - JUST A NICE EASYGOING LISTEN

Julia London branches out into the Contemporary genre from her usual Historical romances and the result is a light refreshing feel-good listen.

It was a fun listen too as Eli tries to make a success of her new wedding planning business whilst being employed and drawn to the handsome and all too capable hunk Marnie who is a member of an extreme sports junky group called Thrillseekers Anonymous but he's been burned by love before and tries to keep away. However, she is funny, sassy, sexy and lovely and, as disaster strikes, he has a hard time resisting her, and of course, in the end he gives in to temptation (not too graphic).

Worth a credit? It's an easy going, light romance with nice characters and for $7.95 for nearly 12 hours it's a bargain. I wouldn't use a credit I'd just buy it and save my credit for a pricier listen.

I did not like the voices

the story was not horrible. not great and I felt like they didn't build a relationship but then all of a sudden they were desperately in love and it just didn't feel believable. I really did not enjoy the narrative especially when she tried to be male. it made me feel like the main guy was a crazy old man and I couldn't like him because of that.
