All I Need

By: A.K. Evans

Narrated by: CJ Mission, Kit Swann

Taj Blackman knows a thing or two about responsibility. As the new CEO of Blackman Boards, he intends to carry on the legacy his father built with dignity.

It’s that mindset that leaves him unable to neglect the duty he feels in other aspects of his life. Like with a specific someone.

Olivia Thomas.

Taj never expected to see the supermodel in his small hometown, especially not in her wedding gown.

But when Olivia appears, desperate for his help, Taj can’t turn her away.

Using everything he’s learned from the man who entrusted a multi-million-dollar company to him, Taj is honored to take on a new responsibility that’s worth far more than money could ever buy.

Rising Sun's Legacy Starts With Taj and Olivia

I was so excited to hear about our return to Rising Sun to see how the kids from The Everything Series find love. Taj and Olivia's story did not disappoint at all! Their story loosely follows Wes and Charley's love story in that Taj is all about not disappointing his dad when he takes over as CEO of Blackman Boards and Wes was all about making the company a success. Olivia is the runaway bride looking for a new start whereas Charley had been in Rising Sun for a while to also make a new start. I loved their meeting at the Christmas tree lighting and the introduction to all the adult kids gathering for the annual tradition their parents started. Their story was beautiful in that Taj was willing to let Olivia get to know him as he helped her explore her freedom and make her own choices for the first time in her life. Some of the things they did were so sweet and heartwarming. The epilogue was so sweet and unique, <3 The audiobook was recorded well and the actors did an amazing job bringing the book to audio life. I'm looking forward to the next in the series.

Fire and Heart!

All I Need is fire y’all!!! This legacy series has started off with a bang. I adore how Taj and Olivia meet, and the way he handles each of her moments is swoony! Taj is a sexy and sweet blend of Wes and Charlotte! And the scenes when he visits his parents-loved seeing the original series characters cameos in this one. The villains are extra off the charts, bringing drama, suspense, and action in at the perfect moments. The focus on the development of Taj and Olivia’s relationship as Olivia discovers herself is beautiful. The audiobook is on point, and I love that we’re getting all these characters in their audio-awesomeness. The narrators were fabulous and fun, bringing emotion, depth, and complexity to the various roles. Can’t wait for more!

A new Generation

I really enjoyed this book and getting to meet the 2nd generation in Rising son. We start off with Taj who was Wes and Charlie’s son. This is a standalone and you don’t need to read the first series but while you wait for the others books to come out it’s definitely worth it too. He meets a girl in a wedding dress at Christmas tree lighting and he is definitely his Dad’s son. Slow burn but sexy.

Good start to the series

This story follows the Everything Legacy characters and their off-springs, but if like me you have only listened/read only one of those stories, rest assure this is a stand alone.
This first story belongs to Wes and Charley Blackman’s son, Taj.
Twenty-seven year old Taj has been given the reins of the family business. As focused as he is in his new position and its responsibilities, it didn’t stop him from seeing and assisting a woman, whom he recognized as a famous supermodel, in a bridal dress in the middle of town. Deciding to come to her rescue, he introduces himself and offers his help.
Olivia Thomas is that woman. She seems in need of a shoulder and Taj is determined to show Olivia he can be her support.
In this sweet story , there was some drama to bring some ups and downs to their relationship.
The narrators CJ Mission and Kit Swann bring the story to life.
I was entrusted a copy of this audiobook . The opinions expressed are solely my own.

Such a Great Beginning of a New Series!!!

The Next Generation of the Everything Series gives us The Everything Legacy Series.

Kitt Swann and CJ Mission are perfect for this new series! Kitt Swann is perfect for Olivia and CJ Mission really does a wonderful performance as Taj!!!

I didn’t know what to think about when I heard this series was coming because one of my all-time favorites series is the Everything Series but AK Evans did not disappoint when she gave us Taj and Olivia!

Taj is just like his father, he sees something he wants, he doesn’t let anything stand in his way. He sees a woman standing in the cold in her wedding dress, so he has to make sure she is ok, it is his nature.

Olivia is a runaway bride, oh and a supermodel 😊

We get to watch the banter between the two and we also get to see two totally different people, each from a different world, get lost in each other!

I can’t wait to see what A.K. Evans does next!
