This was NOT for me. This is advertised as a complete standalone, but the first 30% seemed to reference things that happened and people from the first book and I was very confused. This heroine spent roughy the first 40% either thinking about, talking about, or having sex. That’s when I really stopped caring  about anyone or anything in this book and started skimming. I felt like I needed to finish this book since I got a special edition of it from Hello Lovely. Hello Disappointment, All I Want(ed) was for this torture, excuse me - book, to be over.

I loved this book. I had read the first in the series and thought it was okay but I’m so glad I took a chance and read this one.

This author writes such angsty scenes and it’s a true tearjerker at many times throughout the book. The mmc is so broken by his past and not knowing how to deal with his trauma. And both are so hurt by their breakup and not being able to meet in the middle. When they finally get on the same page you can just feel the emotions. 

The side characters from the first book were well placed in this one. Nolan continues to steal the show in the scenes he’s in.

The story of these two, oh boy, it's amazing and I'm in awe with Jessica's fantastic writing and how she allowed both these characters to take their respectful time to reach the growth they needed!

OMG the chemistry between them was literal fire. There was so much back and forth, angst, angry, obsessive, and passionate feelings between these two and the spice is so freaking good!

There were times I wanted to reach into the book and kick Luke's arrogant, rude self in the face. He caused a lot of unnecessary pain because he got scared, but in the moments his tenderness broke through i totally got why Tessa stayed!

There isn't anything sweet or easy about this couple. They're both strong and dominant and dancing around trying to top each other. But oh boy they fit each other amazingly!

Definitely recommend this and i definitely need to read more from Jessica!

It's strange what has happened to me with this series. I like the reading, it's entertainging and it totally captures me, but some stuff bugs me, some interactions, some things I can't even point. So that's why it's not quite a 4 star but more than 3

Ugh, stubborn doesn't cover Luke and Tessa

If a couple were anymore obstinate than these two, they would need cages and therapy. Actually, Luke and Tessa probably should get therapy.
As the second book in the series All I Want brings plenty of angst, drama, and absolutely pig headedness. Love is not enough when one person feels alone in a relationship.
I loved this book because the pain is just as intense as the pleasure (HEA).
