I think it's common knowledge by now, that Helena Hunting is an exceptional writer. I haven't read one single book that I didn't love and didn't fall in love with the characters, the humorous banter and adorable story lines. This book is no different and a fantastic addition to this series! Another perfect romcom from this lovely lady <3

Holy Swoon!
King and Queenie might just be my new favourite book couple! I love Queenie’s chaos and understand her insecurities. King is so swoon-worthy! I never knew a Boy Scout could be so hot!

Helena Hunting is a writing genius because this series only gets better and better!!
Ryan Kingston is sweet, a total gentleman, and so respectful to everyone, but underneath all that buttoned up, milk-drinking handsome man is a dirty, insatiable guy. King is truly the perfect fictional boyfriend and I swooned HARD!
Queenie is the kind of beautiful chaos we all feel like at times. She is currently working for her father because she hasn't decided what she wants to do with her life. Lots of bad decisions, mistakes, and indecisions have led her back to living with her dad which is also how she ends up back in the sights of King, a man she didn't think she'd see again after their amazing one night stand.
King is steady, loyal, and a huge rule follower. When he finds out that his sister is actually his mother, you could say that his world is a little shook. For a man who never drinks, he heads to a bar, meets Queenie and well...the one night stand takes off from there. Something he has never done. Weeks later she appears as the managers new assistant who also happens to be his daughter. King, the rule follower, feels even worse, but it doesn't dampen the feelings he has for Queenie.
As much as they try to follow the no-fraternization policy, it is nearly impossible. Their connection crackles whenever they are near and King finds himself drawn to the chaos as much as Queenie is drawn to his calm. I think that is what I love about this entire series, Helena is so good with each couple supporting and loving their faults, knowing that no one is perfect, but that together they complete each other.
Also for Helena fans, you will love the follow ups with past characters and I could totally see a second generation with all of the children these virile men keep helping with.

This is my favourite book in the All In series. We follow Ryan Kingston, he is basically the perfect man in his polo and khakis. He follows the rules to the T, he does not get drunk, he does not sleep with random women, he obeys the speed limit until one night when he finds out that his sister is actually his mother (would fuck up anyone). He gets drunk at a bar and he meets a woman, Queenie.
When he wakes the next morning, she is gone but now he has the memory of their night. Everything seemed to be going about fine until he found out that Queenie is their general manager's daughter who would be working with the team. He freezes and he did not know what to do. So when she told him that they could neither see each other nor sleep together, he should have felt relief but he didn't.
I really like Ryan as a character, he is basically the dream. He had his baggage but he did not allow it to weigh him down, he was light-hearted and always willing to help, not to his detriment but because he was capable of doing so. I liked when he spoke to Queenie's father about wanting to date her. It might seem antiquated but he refused to date in secret. He was just an all well-rounded character that I would date.

i thought this book would be boring after 50% as everything fell into place already but... i was wrong. with a new character and sissy's another cameo, it was rly a shtstorm (as one of the title chapters said.)
overall, i liked this book compared to the previous two in this series. i loved reading queenking and their interactions. also, i loved king's personality

The performances were great in this 3rd installment of the All In series. While Bishop and Stevie still have my heart, King and Queenie have a sweet story too. I love a good boy who likes to be filthy at the right time, so King hit the spot. Corey is the villain I’d most like to kick in the nards, so he was well written too! My only regret is not seeing he and Sissy get what’s coming to them.
