All My Love by Morgan Elizabeth is a contemporary, second chance, rockstar romance that you should add to their TBR. Right. Now. (it's available on Kindle Unlimited)
To say I was captured by this book from start to finish would be an understatement—and listening to the playlist (each chapter is a Noah Kahan song title) heightened the experience more than I could have imagined.
Morgan Elizabeth's writing style is immersive, relatable, and emotional. I went through every emotion while devouring this memorable book. It'll be one that I know will stick with me.
Quick book details:
⭐ Rockstar romance
💜 Second chance romance
🎸 1st person, dual POV

Stella and Riggs, our two main characters, are the definition of lovable but flawed. While Stella is trusting, loving, and nurturing, she is a people pleaser, apprehensive, and self-critical. While Riggs is compassionate, doting, and sentimental, he is self-sabotaging, impulsive, and (at times) selfish. I was HIGHLY invested in their second chance at love, and I honestly couldn't tell if Morgan Elizabeth was going to give this a HEA or not.
The past and present timeline is truly *chefs kiss* and adds so much depth to the story and character development. I also love that it was told in 1st person, dual POV, so I could understand the emotions and inner thoughts of each character.
This story isn't a fluffy romance. Morgan Elizabeth touches on sensitive topics like depress!0n and alc0hol!sm in a realistic and vulnerable way. Her depiction of these illnesses could have easily made or broken the story for me—as someone who personally lives and copes with depress!0n and has had loved ones suffer from alc0hol!sm—but she did it an authentic way that I could empathize with the main characters. She doesn't glamorize either of these illnesses and shows the negative effects they can have on oneself and their relationships & friendships.
I truly felt like I went on a journey while reading this book, and the romance and spice moments did NOT disappoint. If you love a groveling, self-aware man with a d!rty mouth, you're going to love Riggs.
5 stars.
