Publisher's Summary

From the New York Times best-selling author of Archer's Voice, Mia Sheridan delivers a heart-wrenching new stand-alone contemporary romance.

A broken woman....

Crystal learned long ago that love brings only pain. Feeling nothing at all is far better than being hurt again. She guards her wounded heart behind a hard exterior and carries within her a deep mistrust of men, who, in her experience, have only ever used and taken.

A man in need of help....

Then Gabriel Dalton walks into her life. Despite the terrible darkness of his past, there's an undeniable goodness in him. And even though she knows the cost, Crystal finds herself drawn to Gabriel. His quiet strength is wearing down her defenses, and his gentle patience is causing her to question everything she thought she knew.

Only love can mend a shattered heart....

Crystal and Gabriel never imagined that the world, which had stolen everything from them, would bring them a deep love like this. Except fate will take them only so far, and now the choice is theirs: Harden their hearts once again or find the courage to shed their painful pasts.

Only one word, Beautiful

Mia Sheridan’s books are my favorite! Her character’s like Chrystal/Emme are broken, but find a person in their life who can put them back together. Her characters are strong and full of life once given the chance!

Matthew Holland and Charlotte North both deserve a standing ovation for their beautiful voices which transform Gabriel and Emme in this story, Bravo!

Best Audio Book I Have Listened too

I have never left a written review but this audio book is outstanding and by far the best one I have in my library. Then are quite a lot of them in the library. I would highly recommend this book.

I loved it, and I’ve read it twice already!

This novel proved yet again why Mia Sheridan is one of my favorite authors. I pre-ordered the e-book and then grabbed the audiobook so I could start reading it on release day. And then I couldn’t resist re-reading it again the following month in November.

Charlotte North’s Performance rating: ★★★★★
She was excellent! Honestly, I would have loved for her to narrate this one solo. She was that fantastic at doing both female and male characters. I loved her acting choices tons!
Matthew Holland’s Performance rating: ★★★★☆ He was really good at giving each character a distinct personality. I did have trouble adjusting to his voice each time the POV switched back to him. I just expected Gabe to sound differently and have a deeper voice.

Story rating: ★★★★★

Gabe’s unwavering optimism after the raw deal life handled him really impressed me. I loved that he didn’t give up on getting to know Crystal aka Ellie. Her past was sad and her present situation when she and Gabe met was also rather grim. I didn’t enjoy that Ellie had to leave her job at quarry and leave Gabe to discover her true potential, but I understood for her it was necessary.

Random things I also liked:
There was also a bit of a criminal mystery that Gabe became instrumental in solving.

I loved the chapter quotes from the characters that kept Gabe sane during his own childhood captivity.

George was a really wise dude.

A beautiful and heartfelt story

I love Mia Sheridan’s novels. She always infuses them with small wonders and profound love. Most of All You continued in this manner presenting two broken characters who needed each other to be whole.

Beginning to end, this book was amazing

Ms Sheridan's prolific talent for story telling is in the big leagues. I can't get enough. The characters are so realistic. I'll listen to every book she writes.

Beautiful!

What a beautiful story. It sends out a message of hope, strength and forgiveness. Everyone should read this. The narrators were perfect!

Amazing!

Absolutely amazing story that had me in tears while listening to this epilogue. Gorgeous writing, a unique story with characters that you can't help but fall in love with, and the kind of story that stays with you forever. The narration was perfect for this story and really did a fantastic job bringing these characters to life! This is a top pick of 2017 and a must read!

Mia Sheridan never disappoints!

This story had some difficult topics,but some amazing outlooks.

Crystal is a woman who is doing what she has to in order to survive. It’s not who she is but it’s all she believes she can be. She’s wounded to her very soul.

Gabriel has had a tortured youth. Not what you would anticipate. But his calm, his outlook, his patience, seem so at odds with what he’s endured.

He’s her angel. She’s who he wants. The path to finding herself is traumatic and painful. The his path to love and intimacy is anxiety-provoking...until her.

His words of wisdom and quiet acceptance are something to marvel at. I honestly am amazed at his inner peace, and although he has his fears, with her at his side, he can conquer them. Her healing is much more painful and difficult.

Healing is rewarding. Healing is peaceful.

I enjoyed the audible version of their story. It brought them to life.

Healing for two damaged souls

Mia Sheridan always tackles hard subjects with grace and sensitivity. This is a sweet book about reclaiming your life after bad people try to snuff out our joy and feelings of self worth. It’s also reminding me that life is so much harder for those who lack a solid support system of family and friends. I enjoyed listening to Ellie’s journey.

Two people who had everything against them

Poignant and reverent to people who have gone through these things... all you can think of is how lucky you have been to have had a whole family - a good family - and that there are good people out there who can and will help you pave the way to healing. Loved these characters - and the beauty that is slowly revealed throughout this story. Always love Mia's best - Archer's Voice is another one - and this is too. Look forward to the next(s) Mia! Thank you.
