Ever since discovering Elle Kennedy, I’ve had a love/hate relationship with sports romances—some lack depth, while others blur into one forgettable plot after another. But All I Need hit differently—it pulled at my heartstrings in a way I didn’t expect.

Lola and TJ are relatable, lovable, and raw in their emotions. What truly makes them stand out is how they react to the secret baby revelation—with real fear, real longing, and none of the over-the-top dramatics that often come with the trope. While there’s a hint of insta-love early on, their reconnection two years later feels much more earned, as they navigate complicated emotions and slowly rebuild their bond.

The found family aspect is beautifully done, adding depth without overshadowing the romance. And while I’ll always have a soft spot for the secret-baby trope, it’s the authentic emotional depth that really makes this book shine.

E. Salvador now sits alongside Elle Kennedy and Kandi Steiner as an author I’ll turn to when I need a sports romance with heart, depth, and unforgettable characters.

Highly recommend if you love sports romance with real emotions and second chances.
