Ethan Blackstone has a problem on his hands. He’s broken Brynne's trust, and she’s left him. He's unwilling to live without her and isn’t giving up - he's dead-set on getting his beautiful American girl back.

The passion between them was explosive, but the secrets they hid from each other are dark and chilling, and are powerful enough to destroy their shot at a life together. With political threats now directed at Brynne, Ethan is running out of time and will need to gather all his strength and agility to protect her from the dangers that could take her away from him forever.

Will Ethan be able to save Brynne from a past that keeps her locked in fear? Will he ever feel the warmth of her touch, the solidity of her trust again? This is a lovestruck man who is willing to do whatever it takes to possess the heart of the woman he loves. He'll go to any lengths to protect her. He'll go all in.

Here is the fiery story of what happens when two people surrender to a love so great it can heal the scars of the past and give way to a life of pure, rapturous ecstasy.

All In

Two very important words shared between a beautiful couple with one meaning. Such an amazing book.

Falling in Live with Ethan Blackstone!

As the continuation of the love story of Ethan Blackstone and Brynne Bennett this book delves into more of the backstory of the two main characters but also sets up the drama that you know is coming but isn’t quite here yet. I do feel like the first two books could have been combined but it’s not that big of a deal. This book was all Ethan’s POV, so other than the prologue by Grace Grant, Shane East carried the load on this book and he is BRILLIANT! Heading immediately to the third book in the series Eyes Wide Open.

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.

Ethan Blackstone ..... wow

Very Enjoyable Trilogy

I enjoyed this book from beginning to end. The Narrators really brought the characters to life for me and I was engaged through the entire book. I would definitely recommend this book to others.

Once Was Not Enough!

What a great series so far! After reading Part 2 I immediately started the series over again. The narration is fantastic and Shane East is my new favorite male narrator. What a sexy voice. I truly hope he picks up another series because he is amazing.

The great thing about this story so far is that it does a great job balancing the drama, sex, and character development. I never once got bored and wanted to jump ahead or wish they would stop repeating the same phrases. The story is so well written that I was easily drawn into the emotions of the characters and experiencing the story along with them. It was also fun to hear all the British slang; especially Ethan’s internal dialog. There were many LOL moments.

This series should not be compared to FSOG or the Crossfire series. It's in a league of its own. I will be starting Part 3 upon submitting this review. I can’t wait!

Glad I Waited and Bought the Three Books At Once

Would you listen to All In again? Why?

Absolutely. The series is FANTASTIC.

A lot of reviewers compare books to 50 Shades of Gray (which I refuse to read) so I cannot compare it to that.

I do liken it to Sylvia Day's Crossfire series although this is a 3 part series with a completion/ending.

What about Shane East and Grace Grant ’s performance did you like?

I LOVE and own almost everything narrated by Grace Grant. She is FANTASTIC-and has an uncanny ability to do a believable male 'voice'.

Shane East did a good job as well-however, as with most male narration-the female characters may sound a bit like effeminate men. He does a better job than most and I've no complaints. He did a bang up job with Ethan and his British accent.

Any additional comments?

I waited a LONG time to purchase this series because the 1st book was only 3+ hours and the same price as the other two installments. I feel it is money well spent if you get the ENTIRE series.

Mature themes and strong language-fantastic!

Sooo good.

We finally get in Ethan Blacktone's words and boy does he have a lot to say. : )
I just listened to this audio and it was so good. I fell for Ethan all over again. I read this series when it first came out and loved it. But I was told I needed to listen to the audio. And I was not dissapointed. It brought the story to life.
