What I thought about All I Want
Zoe is the older sister of Darcy and Wyatt, characters introduced previously in this series. She's single, dating and maybe ready to let someone in her life after taking care of her siblings for years. She can be a little prickly too, and I totally fell in love with her when one of her suitors tells her: "... you wear a sign on your forehead that says back the fuck off." I got her. She's serious about what she wants. She's strong and smart and a natural born caregiver.
Parker shares some of these traits with Zoe and when they meet, well, it's pretty much a done deal between these two. Parker is a friend of Zoe's brother Wyatt, and he's staying a few weeks staying with Zoe while he's on "vacation" in Idaho. There's tons of chemistry between these two and it soon becomes clear that things are getting more serious than either one of them anticipate. But Parker's vacation is really just a front for his real reason to be in Idaho, and that's to pursue an accomplished poacher and criminal, Tripp Carver.
But when Parker's case comes to a close and he returns to his job, both Zoe and Parker have to deal with their emotional state. It' not pretty. They both had to decide what it is they really want.
I loved everything about this story -- the romance between Zoe and Parker, the commentary from Zoe's family, the criminal subplot and especially Parker's sister Amory. Oh, and I can't for Oreo, Bonnie and Clyde cause I loved them too! The story moves right along and I found I couldn't stop reading until I got to the end.
This book works very well as a standalone, so if you are not reading this series or author, I recommend this very sweet contemporary romance.
