All I Need - Kathryn Ascher

All I Need is a hidden gem of a book. Hannah, our FMC has been mourning the death of her fiance, but after a year, she feels like she is ready to be who she was meant to be. Casting aside the feeling of being a people pleaser and doormat, she takes charge of her life.

Quinn, who has been burnt by love before, he is so focused on his career and future that he almost let the woman he has been pining for get away again. Quinn has been secretely in love with Hannah since high school. He was not expecting Hannah to have the same feelings and he wants to give her the world. But like everything there are people from their past that just won’t let them be happy.

Both have to overcome self doubt, trust each other and forge a love bond so strong that nothing can stop them.

The book is a feel good small town romance with just enough suspense and drama to give the characters a loveable personality. Kathryn Ascher’s writing style is on point and she does her characters justice as well as effectively painting the township that and the beautiful style she writes the storyline.

This is a good book. The two main characters are Hannah and Quinn. They have known each other all their lives. Hannah is a widower and. Teacher. Quinn owns a renovation company and is a college student. They start dating. Hannah’s deceased fiancé comes back. There is a lot of information about his death that doesn’t make sense. Hannah tells her fiancé that she doesn’t love him and she has changed. Hannah and Quinn fall in love.

Pretty good story, the beginning starts with interesting hook but for me it quickly became predictable; not necessarily a bad thing, but I didn’t fall in love with it either.

While I think that Kathryn Ascher's writing style is so great, this small town romance book was not exactly for me. I did like the beginning, but I think I got lost somewhere in the middle.

Thank you for the arc. This book wasn’t for me and my taste. But the writing is amazing and this is great for any small town girl who loves romance.

All I Need is a sweet romance with suspense, and I totally called what was going to happen. I enjoyed the main characters' growth and the storyline. However, the spice level was too low for me, and I needed an epilogue to finish the story properly.

Thank you to Netgalley for this advanced reader's copy.

All I Need is book 4 in the Rocky Creek series by Kathryn Ascher.
This was better than I expected. And I honestly enjoyed reading this one.
This book is truly amazing. I seriously had a hard time puttering this book down I stayed up late one night just to finish reading it. I really enjoyed the characters, The storyline flowed amazingly and kept you turning the pages.
Now I’m making it my mission to read the other three in this great little set!

I would like to thank NetGalley and BQB Publishing for the opportunity to read this ahead of its publication date in return for my honest review.

I loved the storyline and how the MCs,’ their problems and their world was presented. And I loved how the story takes it's time to build and develop making you feel feel all the feelings right along with these two!!

This is a feel-good romance, and the two main characters are very cute together. I loved the vibe and the small town feel where everybody knows everybody’s business. The story started well but it did feel rushed in some parts and there were some scenes missing which I would have liked to have seen instead of being told.
Overall, it was a quick read with interesting side characters, and you really felt the MFC’s frustrations as she tried to find her voice. This story reminded me of a Hallmark movie, which I would happily watch with a bowl of popcorn.
Thank you @netgalley and @bqbpublishing for this arc in exchange for an honest review.

All I need- Kathryn Ascher

This book is exactly as the summary states, a perfect summary that makes you want to read the book without telling you any of the jaw dropping moments of the story.
I recommend reading this book if you are a love story fan. If this was a movie I would be the first to watch it.
I have never read or watched a book/movie with this kind of story line so I sped read through it just so I could know what would happen next. It was definitely such a good book.
For me it is a 4.75 because I am not a big fan of the very descriptive love scenes, the reason I didn’t make it a 4 or 4.5 is because I don’t recall there being a single curse word in the book which brought my opinion of the book higher.
The book was definitely a super fun read and would recommend only to anyone who likes spicy scenes (there was only one major spicy scene; MAJOR).
Author Kathryn Ascher really did an outstanding job at describing every scene and character as the words played like a movie in my head.
The best part, the book ended just how I wanted it to.
