Dream a little dream of Cord! You wanted the perfect guy...the one to make all others look lame. But he's too hot, so clearly he's a no go. Except for a quick hit of down and dirty...right?

All the Way is filled with humorous lines, sweet talking, and preconceived notions. Feisty red head versus too hot man candy in a battle royale...date to be determined. Will it come to a head before or after the big event?

Who knows, but ladies and gents, watch out because these two are explosive. Cord and Dana are coming from two different directions and it seemed like they were going the same place.

Watch for baseball shout outs, snarky quips, and the sweetest guy ever.

Sadly, I didn’t fall in love with this book right away like I have with all of her other books.  But with that said, I fell in love with Cord and his whole persona, and the way  he adored Dana.   Dana had her moments, but ultimately she drove me nuts with her attitude.  The rest of the side characters were great.  I would’ve loved to have read a book about Nolan.

I loved this book!! Dana has decided she's done with super hot guys. She's ready to find a "normal" guy and have a "normal" relationship. Cord is a super hot guy. A player. And...weird? But he's hot. So Cord must be a player. He's so hot....Turns out he's best friends with the groom in the wedding Dana is a bridesmaid in that takes place in a few weeks. So Dana thinks maybe she can have just one more night with Mr. Hottie before she re-thinks her plan to date Mr. Normal. This book was so much fun! I loved that Cord's view was so real! I loved how every single character was so relatable. I would definitely give this book ten stars if I could. I'm hoping there will be books for Jodi and Nolan!!!! Thanks for another awesome read Mo!

Every time M. Mabie releases a new book I remember the reasons why I love her and her stories. They're easy for me. They're so fun to sit down and just...read. I feel like when I read a M. Mabie book I am actually experiencing it all right there with all of the characters. I'm lost in another place and I am never in any rush to leave said place.

The character dynamic between Dana and Cord was incredible. They just...mesh. And when two characters mesh, you fall in love with said characters and book that much more. It makes the struggle and developing relationship that much more real.

Cord was a very attractive heroine to me. He was vulnerable and real and raw and he was persistent but not like, annoying persistent. I can also say the same about Dana. Another cool thing with All the Way was the fact that M. Mabie constructed secondary characters that can easily spin off into their own stories. Their own cool and interesting stories. In fact, I am requesting that right now Mo. Don't forget it either.

"She was talking to me but all I could hear were the motherfucking fireworks."

All the Way is a great book to pick up if you're looking for something that packs just enough sexy and just enough love and witty characters. With Mo's crafty and effortless humor and writing, I am consistently blown away, one book after another.

M. Mabie' books never disappoint me. This storyline is not nearly as angst filled as her Wake series but it definitely has its moments. And it has a more playful/ fun tone compared to her laid back City Limits series. Then the sex scenes, Wow! Hot as ____. Three word example, yoga swing sex!

What can I say about "too-hot" Cord, he was the perfect combination of sweet, funny and sexy. One of my favorite things was all his nicknames for Dana but I loved her last line response in his last chapter even more (I'd post it but I don't want to spoil it ). Dana was a little frustrating and stubborn at times but she redeemed herself in the end.
4.5 stars and highly recommended.
