From USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Siobhan Davis comes an emotional, angsty, new adult romance series that will rip your heart apart before mending it again. This series collection box set contains exclusive BONUS CONTENT.
I’m head over heels in love with my best friend. Although, I can’t pinpoint exactly when Reeve Lancaster became my entire world.
Was it when we were little kids, practically brought up together, after Reeve’s mom died during childbirth and his dad subsequently fell apart? Or when I doodled his name in my school journal at age ten? Maybe it was when we became boyfriend and girlfriend at fourteen or when we shed our virginity at sixteen, pledging our forever?
I was there as his star ascended—like I’d always known it would—and there wasn’t a prouder person on the planet. As the only child of Hollywood’s golden couple, I’ve lived my life in the spotlight enough to know it wasn’t what I wanted for my future. But I sacrificed my own desires, because Reeve’s happiness meant everything to me.
Until he crushed my heart into itty-bitty pieces, forcing me to fly halfway around the world just to escape the gut-wrenching pain.
The opportunity to study at Trinity College Dublin came at the perfect moment, and I jumped at the chance without hesitation. If I’d known fate was meddling in my life, perhaps I would have chosen differently, but my future was cemented the instant I laid eyes on him .
Dillon O’Donoghue was Reeve’s polar opposite in every way, and perhaps, that’s why I felt drawn to him. He was the dark to my light. The thorn in my side, irritating me with his cold disdain, wild recklessness, and a burning rage hidden deep inside him that spoke to a silent part within me. Yet Dillon showed me what it was like to truly live, opening my eyes to endless possibilities.
What happened next was inevitable, and I only have myself to blame. He warned me, and I knew my reprieve was temporary, because there is only so far I can run.
Especially when fate hasn’t finished messing with me yet.
Recommended to readers aged eighteen and older. Contains mature content and some scenes that may be triggering. For fans of emotional, angsty, ugly-cry romance with all the feels.
Main tropes: second chance, enemies-to-lovers, friends-to-lovers, rock star, Hollywood romance.

I've been starring at my computer screen for the past 10 minutes now trying to write something other than 'you need to read this book now' and 'this is the most amazing, heartbreaking book I've ever read' and while both things are true, none of those statements does this book justice. I've always thought that WFC was Siobhan's most emotional story, but after reading part one of this duet.. SITO definitely tops it. I haven't been able to read anything else since I finished this on Friday, nor have I even WANTED to. I'm so consumed by this book and all of the characters, and if Viv doesn't choose the man I want her to, I will RIOT. *chuckles evily.*
This is a love story between a girl (hey there Viv!) and the two men who have her heart. She loves both of them in such different ways, but they each hold a very important part of her. These two men also couldn't be more different themselves either: there's her childhood best friend turned high school sweetheart (Reeve) who Viv thought was her soulmate and would never do her wrong.. until fame went to his head and changed his heart, as he humiliated her in the worst way. Then there's the hot-tempered, Irish lad (Dillion) who makes her whole body come alive with an intensity that she's never experienced before.. but he pushes her buttons in the worst of ways. They have such a hate/love relationship, but their chemistry is absolutely undeniable. And just when Viv thinks that she finally got love right this time.. she realizes that she had no clue all along, and is even more broken than before. So what does she do now? How does she go on with half of her heart split between two men? Does one have more of her love than the other? Is one more truthful than the other? Does one man have her best intensions in mind over the other? The list goes on and on.. and well, we won't know what happens until part two comes out next month. ;)
This is hands down the best duet I've ever read, and I've only read part one. I am just in awe, I am amazed, and I'm pretty sure I'm broken because I cannot stop obsessing over these characters. I love Viv so much, and I hope she gets the happy ending she deserves, with the man who truly loves her for her.
Because this is a duet, this obviously ends on a cliffhanger, and what a WICKED cliffhanger it was. Holy crap. My jaw dropped for a good ten minutes, and I basically begged Siobhan and Christina to let me into the spoiler room so I could vent all my feelings out. I have just spent these past few days obsessing over every possible outcome, and I don't know how I will survive waiting for part two. I NEED to know what happens now! I LOVE THIS BOOK SO MUCH. Just in case that wasn't clear.
Please go one click this amazing book right now! Have tissues, wine and chocolate stocked up, and be prepared for a sleepless night because these characters are going to destroy you in the best way possible.
Also fans of the Rydeville Elite series are in for a special surprise!! So go read as soon as you can!!

Review for LMLY:
WOW. This duet absolutely gobsmacked me in all of my feels. It's been about a week since I finished this amazing conclusion of this heartfelt, romantic, infuriating, beautiful love, and I still have no idea what to say in this review. All I know for sure is that these books are an absolute MUST read, and this is by far the best books Siobhan has ever written.
I refuse to give spoilers in my review, because not only you need to find out what happens first hand and experience all the emotions as they were meant to (and partly because Siobhan and Christina would crucify me in a later book, *chuckles*) but because this is truly Vivien's story. Regardless of who ends up capturing her heart the most, regardless of all the lies, the revelations, the misunderstandings and heartbreaks, at the heart of this book is Vivien. She's the one who has to find which man is truly right for her, and she has to figure out how she wants to live her life. We feel every single emotion this poor woman goes through -- and she's definitely put through the ringer -- her utter devastation rung so clearly, so palpable to me that I felt her heartbreak in my very bones, and wanted to do everything possible in order to put her together again. And I cried all the tears, again.
I will say this book was not what I expected, and I mean that in the best of way. The thing I love most about Siobhan and how she writes her characters, is that there are always more layers than you originally see to someone. She really delves into the flawed, human side of her characters, and even though you may not agree with some of their actions, you still FEEL for them, you still root for them, and you feel all of the pain they feel. I went into this conclusion thinking I knew exactly how everything would play out, but I ended up crying my soul out when that freaking twist happened, and just how freaking REAL Viv was in her emotions/actions afterwards. I was very adamantly against a certain someone in the first book, but these three are so woven together, and they both love Viv to the point of madness. (Which I'm a firm believer that love does make you go a little mad, especially when it's right.) We got to see all of these characters grow, turn into the people they were always meant to be. Especially Viv: we got to see her become so self-assured of who she was, who she wanted, and how she wanted to live with no regrets. But despite all she went though, she was still vulnerable, still open to a love she never thought she would have, and that is just so freaking beautiful.
Reeve and Dillon played a huge role in Viv's life, both ending up meaning two different things to her. They showed her happiness in the highest highs, and the pain that came with that was utterly devastating. She waded through all the manipulations, all the desperation, the lies, the forgiveness, the trust, patience, being free to make the choices that were right for HER, and not being in fear of hurting someone else, it was just beyond perfect. Plus Siobhan really showed soulmates in all forms, and that love can survive anything, and that love can change and evolve, but it never goes away. Whoo, I'm starting to tear up just thinking about this all over again.
There are some books who stay with you, and then books that capture the very essence of your soul, and Siobhan did that for me in this duet. Even when I got the last page of this book, I was still obsessing over just how PERFECT it all turned out, and how badly I wanted to go back and read this duet for the first time over and over again, just so I can witness all the beauty first hand over and over again. The fact that so many readers out there were impacted just as much as I was, just goes to show just how freaking talented an author is to be able to touch hearts in such a profound way. I can literally go on and on about how beautiful this duet is, but bottom line is you all NEED to read this now. Leave your misconceptions at the door, don't go looking for spoilers, and just enjoy these characters and this love like it is meant to be. You won't regret it, I promise. Just be sure to stock up on tissues, chocolate and your favorite liquor while reading. ;)

Review for HMC:
This series has to be one of the most beautiful and heartbreaking ones I have ever read, and even though it rips my soul apart every time, I still go back for a reread as often as I can. So when Siobhan announced she was writing an epilogue novella, I couldn't wait to have this baby in my hands!
Even though we get pov from both Viv & Dillon and their lives together after their hard fought HEA, this novella focuses on Easton and Bohdi -- and the emotional turmoil Bohdi is struggling with now that he knows the full truth between what happened between Viv and Reeve all those years ago, and just how his birth mother played her role. He's lashing out at everyone close to him and seems hellbent on throwing gasoline on his entire life just so he can watch it go up in flames, and my goodness the angst was just so damn heartbreaking . I broke all over again for Viv and Dillon, but also now for their sons. I loved how everything turned out, and how they became closer as a family . I so hope we get a full length novel for both Bohdi and Easton in the future!!
**I received an ARC of this book and these are my honest opinions **
Brilliantly executed! I devoured this series almost three months ago, and its impact on me still lingers. The emotional rollercoaster it took me on was beyond words; it was bursting at the seam with raw angst and intensity.
I find myself consumed by writer envy, wishing I could claim ownership of this epic romantic saga. The depth and brilliance of the story telling leave me in awe, and I can’t help but admire Siobhan Davis’ talent with a touch of longing.
Let me start by saying how much I love Siobhan’s books and how grateful I am to be apart of her review team. I’m truly honoured I’m allowed in this epic team!
Right where the hell do i start.
This is an emotional. Angst filled. Rollercoaster ride. I haven’t cried like that since when forever changes landed on my kindle.
There is so much going on in this book.
I’m not a massive fan of the h. But I have this issue with a lot of h’s tbh.
When it comes to the H. Let’s just say you’ll find yourself screaming. And when the end of the book comes you’ll be trying to turn the pages to read more. It’s going to be a long month until I get the second part of this amazing duet.
I highly recommend this book and all books by Siobhan.
I have my favourite 😉. #Dilovan
Let me love you 🥰
Let me start by saying as always. How much of a super fan I am of Siobhan. Some say enthusiastic some say stalker but who are we to judge.
This book broke me. This duet broke me. It completely and utterly destroyed me.
My heart feels like it has been ripped from my chest. Stomped on and crushed into tiny itty bitty pieces.
This is the phenomenal conclusion to the All of me duet. This story will take you on an emotional rollercoaster ride from start to finish. I advise tissues, chocolate, wine and for the following morning coffee! Because once you start this duet you won’t be able to sleep until you finish it.
The story of Vivian, Reeve and Dillon, is full of angst, twists, emotional pain and heartache. Siobhan is the master of these stories and by god has she delivered another amazing book.
Congratulations on such an amazing duet.
No spoilers from me.
You wanna know why I love it so much. Go read the book. Follow the amazing SD on Facebook and immerse yourself in her worlds and words. You won’t be disappointed! 🥰😘.
Hold me close
All the stars and so much more!!!!
This surprise novella is honestly something I have been dyeing for since I finished the duet. Seeing a glimpse into the future has only made me want more!
This duet was a top read of last year. I spent months agonising over the end of the first and devoured the second straight away. This is the epilogue we’ve all wanted and needed. Only problem is now I want more! I want more from reeve! I want more from the boys! I just want more!!!!!
Congrats siobhan this is truly a master peace of storytelling and I absolutely love your words. Can’t wait for your next book.

5+ stars
Say I’m the One (All of Me #1)
- One incredibly beautiful, kind, and complex heroine
- Two completely different men - an Irish Rock God and a Hollywood Prince - who equally own her heart and soul
- Two thrilling love stories spanning two continents and 10+ years
- A plethora of loveable, unique, and intriguing supporting characters
- One mind-blowingly HECTIC twist and cliffhanger!
“Reeve is the air I breathe. Dillon is the fire that consumes me. How am I expected to live without a part of my heart?”
This is Siobhan at her absolutely FINEST!! She has returned to her angsty roots with a vengeance, and I am LOVING IT!
There is so much I want to say but I’m reining myself in and keeping it simple - you NEED to read this book!! It was unputdownable, captivating, gut-wrenching, soul-destroying, steamy, unique, and heart-bursting-with-happiness beautiful at times. Basically an emotional roller coaster, executed with absolute Siobhan Davis perfection.
A special tie-in with another of Siobhan’s series was the cherry on top.
I received an ARC and this is my completely honest review of 5+ stars. I am addicted to this world, and my heart is still racing. Bring on book 2!!!
Let Me Love You (All of Me #2)
Let Me Love You is the stunning conclusion to the All of Me Duet. It is absolutely essential to read book one - Say I’m The One - before devouring this amazing read. If you haven’t started book one yet, then drop everything and read it right now! 🥰
This book was not at all what I was expecting! I thought I knew the way these two love stories would evolve and conclude but I had NO idea! You will be put through the emotional wringer time and time again during this incredibly angsty read, but I promise it will be worth it. Vivien’s strength is so inspiring in this tale of epic love, tragic loss, gut-wrenching heartbreak, fate and destiny.
Siobhan has a wonderful gift for crafting authentic and beautiful family bonds in her books and it was a joy to see the families rally around their loved ones throughout this conclusion. I love it when the MC’s friends can tell it to them straight and pull them into line when needed - Audrey, Alex, Ash and Jamie were just the best 👌🏼. I have my fingers and toes crossed we get their stories as a duet spin-off! 🙏🏼🥰
I’m sorry for keeping this vague but you need to go into this book blind to truly appreciate the twists and turns Siobhan has so intricately weaved into this web of perfection. All of your questions from book one will be answered, I promise. ☺️ This duet is incredibly special to me, I’m now about to re-read Say I’m The One because I’m so not ready to leave this world or these amazing characters yet.
I received an ARC of Let Me Love You and rate it 5/5 stars 💓x
Hold Me Close (All of Me #3)
In this extended novella which takes place after the All of Ne duet, we return to the home and lives of Viv and Dillon as they hold each other close during some dark and trying times for their beautiful family. This couple have been to he*l and back but are madly in love and thankfully love and family always wins out 🫶🏼
I want to scream. I want to throw my tablet out of the window or against a wall or, I don't know... I'm just freaking out right now 🤯🤯🤯
By now, everyone who knows me knows I'm going blind into books. I don't read blurbs, I don't read any reviews, I don't read CW/TW. I only read tropes (if it's an ARC). I only knew it's a duet and there are more books in this series, and obviously I know the titles of these books. I'm not going into this more yet... I didn't know what I would expect, but I know I love Siobhan's books, so I knew I would love this book 😎
And I can say I did. Yes, I really didn't know what direction Siobhan wanted to go with this book. But it was soon clear it would be a love triangle, and I so love them 🤩
Vivien and Reeve are such a perfect couple. They have known each other forever, really forever. And their love cannot be described in a few words. But then Reeve gets cast to be Camden Marshall. Siobhan fans will recognize the name. He is the MMC in her Rydevill Elite series. Yes, Siobhan uses her own books here, and I absolutely love it. There are scenes where scenes from the series get repeated, obviously when Reeve rehearses with Vivien 😎 And yes, the thought of a movie adaptation 🤩🤩🤩 It would be sooo cool. But please, Siobhan, you know now that you have to take care of who gets cast 🙈
But the reason why I'm completely freaking out right now... the plot twist, and with that, the cliffhanger. No!!! Just NOOOOO!!!! 😱
-----------------------------------------------
book 2: Let Me Love You 5⭐|2🌶|5% frequency
I thought book one had broken my heart 💔😭 and then this cliffhanger 🤯 But book 2 😱 That's not just a broken heart. It's throwing it on the ground, stomping on it, stabbing it with a 🔪, and 🔥 it. Yes, that's how my heart felt. You would think that by now I'm aware of what Siobhan writes, but she is getting me every single time again 🙈 I can't say much about the story itself because after the cliffhanger, there was one plot twist after another. Really, I thought that's it now, it can get an HEA, but no, the story wasn't done yet. And every single plot twist was phenomenal. But you REALLY REALLY REALLY need LOTS of tissues!!! REALLY! I cry very easily, but this book... If anyone doesn't need a tissue, I don't know what to think about this person 🙈
I can't say it often enough, I absolutely LOVE love triangles. They aren't always well written, but Siobhan knows how to write them 🤩 (and it looks like she loves them too 😉).
You will not get me to spoil who Vivien ends up with. But I'll tell you I'm team Dillon 😎 Am I satisfied with the ending? Yes. Is it Dillon that Vivien ends up with? I said it already, I'm not saying!!! Maybe there is another man I'm not listed because I want it to be a surprise 😁😎 Is my heart well again? ❤️🩹 More or less, I'll still be suffering for a while. And maybe during reading the other books in the series, it will break again 🙈
Keep an eye open, I'll post the review for these books soon 🩷
-----------------------------------------------
book 3: Hold Me Close 5⭐|2🌶|4% frequency
This novella is set around 7 years after book 2, so they are all in their late 30s. You need to read both books before.
I still won't tell you who's the couple in thos book because I'm not spoiling. But by now there are a few kids 😎 This book is more about the two sons and the trouble they have because of everything that happened with their parents in the past.
I love that the girls (Vivien, Ash, and Audrey) are still such good friends. They have also kids and even they are good friends 🩷 I'm a sucker for epilogues, or in this case novellas, that are set several years after the main book. I love seeing how they live years later. Seeing how their kids have developed... So this novella was just perfect for me 😍
There are 2 more book in this series. And yes, I'm very curious, because the duet is completed with this novella (who is actually already the book 3 🙈). By now I've finished them and you can soon read my reviews for them 😎
I’m in love with this series. I devoured all the books and I couldn’t put them down. Vivian, Reeve, and Dillion take you on such a raw roller coaster ride of so many emotions. The angst, betrayal, drama, and high life of Hollywood keep you hooked to the books. The spice and chemistry between Vivian and Dillion is so good. And man, this book will make you cry. It’s one of my favorite duets and I absolutely love it.
The bonus novella with the kids was the icing on the cake, I loved diving back into the lives of Vivian and Dillion years later. The story was so good and it’ll always be one of my favorites.
Another brilliant book written by Siobhan. Just read it, take the plunge and go in blind. This book made me happy, angry, sad, emotional and anxious. The twists and turns you don’t see coming leave you on edge. The romance is so raw and heartbreakingly beautiful. You fall for the characters and hate some characters. I will never get over how mature Siobhan’s writing is. All the characters made choices that changed the direction of their future and the impact of fallout on the next generation. I loved how we got to see them go from teenagers to adults and move to their children growing and watching their life unfold for the world to see. This is an angsty story of love, trust, lies and discovering the truth. Alongside grief, loss, healing journey and being in the public eye. This edition is all three books in the All Of Me trilogy combined and I loved the journey it took me on. The audiobook narration is brilliant and I highly recommend. If I rated them separately:
1. Say I’m The One: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 2. Let Me Love You: 🌟🌟🌟🌟.5 3. Hold Me Close: 🌟🌟🌟🌟.5
Overall this trilogy is 4.5 stars. Just a few things I want to mention. The first book gripped me and consumed me completely. The second book is fantastic just at the start I wish Dillion was an angry villain longer as it only lasted a handful of full of chapters before he came around. I wish Vivian would stop making excuses for a character I believe did her dirty. After the major incident in book two until the end, it plateaued out and was a steady, consistent pace until the end, with a few twists. Lastly, in book three I loved the view of the children being impacted by the parent’s choices. Could you live without book three in the picture? Yes, you can. But if you want to experience how choices earlier in life impact the next generation it is worth it. Did this book make me cry? No I didn’t I was in denial and shock through most twists. I had a few tears in my eye and just felt the emotions.
Again a brilliant read written by Siobhan and I can't wait to keep chipping away at her backlist!

Review for Let Me Love You ~ 5/5⭐️
This was the beautiful emotional conclusion to the All Of Me Duet and I am literally speechless. I have never cried so much throughout a story as I did with this one. The writing is phenomenal the complex characters are just everything the emotional plot is amazing this is hands down my favorite duet of this year ! I wish I could give it more than five stars because I think this book deserves all the stars . I’m keeping my review short and sweet for this one and I’m not giving any details away I think this duet is one you just have to dive into blind it’s angsty it’s raw it’s real it’s so full of pain passion and longing the emotions this story pulls from you the journey to the HEA is bumpy it’s heartbreakingly emotional and full of ups and downs it’s consuming it’s all I’ve lived and breathed since I’ve read the first book . This story definitely gives you all the feels. Definite must read! This is definitely Siobhan at her best !
Review for Hold Me Close~ 5/5⭐️
Talk about all the feels! It was so good to see what this family has been up to these characters are one of my favorite from Siobhan their love and loyalty is unmatched we get all the angst and emotions from this family we see them dealing with old demons together as a family and it warmed my heart I’m definitely keeping my fingers crossed that this author isn’t done with them yet !
The bonus content in this box set was amazing! I definitely needed some of them scenes! Loved it!
This trilogy will take you on an emotional rollercoaster. You’ll need therapy, blood pressure meds and several bottles of wine. The characters, the setting, the dialogue, the secrets, the twists will have you wondering what’s next, who did what and you’ll be like omgggggg what the 🤬 just happened!!! But overall it’s a great love story and when everything comes full circle you’ll be in tears.
If you know me, then I have always made it very clear that I prefer when books rip my heart out and make me cry every tears in my body, to then fix it with some delicious hurt/comfort and this book just really did it for me. This was such a wonderful story and I had a wonderful time reading this one.
5⭐️ This series crushed me but in the best way possible, I had come across the author by complete accident I saw one of the books at a bookstore and just bought it off of the blurb written!!!
I love Reeve,Vivi & Dillon! Reeve & Dillon are both so important to vivi but In complete different ways Reeve is and was vivi’s first real love and Dillon showed vivi that possibilities were endless for herself that she didn’t need to hold back!
This author can make you feel the emotions in her books on such a level it physically hurts. There is just so much love and heartbreak, it consumed me entirely, soul crushingly.
The twist and turns and that ending wow!! Trust me when I say bring a box of tissues for this read!
There is no other words to say about this book. It’s amazing! I loved all the twists and turns but holy crap the ending has me floored! This is a must read. Siobhan has blown me away again!
Let Me Love You(Book 2)
This was the conclusion of the All Of Me duet. This book was riveting! I could not put it down! It takes you through every emotion possible! I was shocked by the journey that Siobhan Davis took us on. I was not prepared for the twists and turns in this book and duet! Reeve, Dillon and Viv will have a special place in my heart after this. I definitely wanted more at the end it was just so good! The emotional road Viv has to walk through to get her HEA is heart wrenching. Soul shattering. She persevered and overcame the most tragic situations that anyone could go through. This duet is a must read! If I could give it 100⭐️’s I would! Siobhan Davis brought it in this one!
Hold Me Close(Book 3)
I loved being back in the world of Viv and Dillon. The All of Me duet has been one of my favorites of all time! When I heard there would be an extended epilogue novella I was so excited and Siobhan Davis did not disappoint!
We return to their life when Bodhi and Easton are 16 years old, when boys will be boys. Plenty of teenage angst, celebrity drama, family love, heartache and secrets haunt the pages of this novella.
After Bodhi and Easton watch the movie of their parents past there is a whirlwind of anger, hurt and self depreciation that unloads itself on this family. Lines are crossed, words are said and a life spirals out of control. This family must unite to deal with the ghosts of the past to move forward before it’s too late.
Bonus Content
Just a glimpse at some pivotal moments the characters have that gives us just enough insight on their thoughts in that moment.
This was one of the best duets I’ve had the pleasure to read. It’s got a little taste of all the emotions possible!

Have you ever read a book that stays with you for life? This did and then I read the box set with the bonus content and I fell in love all over again.
This story is so beautiful. It’s about hope when things get dark. It’s about never giving up despite everything that life can throw at you. It’s about finding that little spark when things seem so bleak and it’s about true love, finding it, fighting to keep it and accepting it into your heart.
I honestly will love and cherish this book forever because it fundamentally spoke to me.
Reeve, Viv and Dillon are fundamentally broken by what life has thrown at them and they are beautifully flawed in a way most books can’t write. This story is about how they heal each other at the face of great overwhelming odds.
Their love is what keeps them going and even though this book will break your heart a million times over by the end your heart is warm with the feeling that I can’t quite put into words.
I will always recommend this book to everyone I ever meet because as far as I’m concerned, you haven’t lived till you have read it!
Book 1 Jesus, that ending ……. I don’t know if I like that twist! Viv you are fucked arnt ya! Poor girl. I’m at a loss as to what I’m feeling here.
I don’t like either of them overly enough 🤣 Let’s carry on with the series but I’ll need a little break 4 star listen. I always enjoy Siobhan’s stories I recommend this author also the narration was done overly well. Having an Irish partner I appreciated that the storyline and the accent was done really well to reflect that side of the story.
Book 2 I didn’t see this coming, how tragic, so many little things. We do get a hea but it’s bittersweet.
Book 3 this one is about the boys, we don’t hear much about the girls but the boys, those poor boys. I liked this one, more like an extended epilogue I liked hearing more about this family. I didn’t realise I needed this. Great ending but I do hate that such big events are the only way a lesson is learnt in this series. Audio was fabulous.
The All of me boxset contains all the trilogy of Say I'm The One, Let me Love You and Hold Me Close as well a great epilogue and cracking bonus content too.
The three books chock full of Love, Heartbreak, as well as the ups and downs of emotions from joy to the depths of despair. These book puts you through all of it. I cried, laughed and wanted to punch someone in equal measure. That's how much these books affected me. From completely devastated and bawling my eyes out to tears of joy and happiness from start to finish. I genuinely loved all three of these books so much and the characters in them. This boxset was hell of a read and i cant praise them up enough
I’ve read all of the books before now but want to give an overall review. These books are very good. They will keep you very wrapped up. I don’t think there is a book Davis has written that I’ve not fallen in love with.
We’re here because we’re readers- because we love being swept away by the magic of a good book. If we’re lucky, we find authors and stories that complete transport us- where from the moment the first page the story is no longer fiction, where we’re completely consumed into a world no quite our own but one completely real to us, one where characters become living and breathing people, one where emotions, danger, love, and happiness are felt as if they are our own. But, even when we’re lucky, when we close that last page we’re often reminded that the story was just that- fiction.
But when we’re really lucky, we find those rare authors and stories that don’t end with that last turning page- that are somehow MORE. Stories whose characters always feel real to you, stories that you live and breathe perhaps forever, stories so embedded in your heart that you continue to live and breathe them. While I simply adore everything Siobhan Davis writes, this duet is definitely that MORE. The more where these characters, and all their pain and happiness and everything in between, cracked my heart wide open, just to crawl inside it and never leave. Hands down, this is Siobhan's best work to date- I am completely and utterly wrecked with my love for this story!
And how lucky are we now that we can get it ALL in one place without the heartaching cliffhanger! Both meaty books of the duet, the heartfelt post-epilogue novella, and Siobhan also treats us to some epic bonus content, including one scene I wasn't quite expecting that somehow ripped my heart open again. Still so in love with this series!
Say I'm the One (Book 1 of the Duet)
My heart literally hurts. Oh Siobhan- what have you done to me?! Powerfully emotive, heart wrenching, and devastatingly moving- Say I’m the One is a triumphant return to Siobhan Davis’ angsty roots. No doubt this is the story of the year- and is perhaps Siobhan Davis’s best work to date.
I have been wrecked by this story- WRECKED. For the last few days, all I can do is think about this book. Rereading parts, obsessing, and yes, tearing up unexpectedly. This story has crawled so deeply inside of me, at times I worry I won’t ever breathe the same again. This is what romance is all about- truly romantic storytelling at its best. The kind of love story that forever alters your heart, a story as unforgettable as it is profound.
I can’t say much about this story- to spoil it would ruin the experience. This is a story you are meant to FEEL completely- every tear, every kiss, every aching heart beat. The Hollywood golden boy, the Irish rockstar, and the girl who finds herself somehow loving them both. This is by far the most intoxicating, soul shredding, devastatingly beautiful love triangle I’ve read. And, moment of truth- I’m not a huge fan of love triangles. But, in Siobhan Davis I trust. SO I dove in- read this into the wee hours of the morning, sobbing, swooning, melting and breaking. And weeks later I’m still obsessing, I can’t let it go. The literal worst book hangover I’ve ever had- these characters won’t unleash their grip on my heart.
While I won’t say much about the plot, I will say this: this is a tour de force display of Siobhan Davis’ unparalleled ability to write profoundly intimate and complicated character connections. This book is a masterclass in chemistry writing, a tall task considering Siobhan has to create meaningful but divergent chemistry between both of our leading men and our heroine. We have to BELIEVE that she loves both of them- in order for a triangle to truly work, we ourselves need to feel conflicted, to buy into the emotional and physical connection with both men, to find magic with each to be invested in both relationship but also see enough of a distinction to ultimately also be invested when the inevitable conclusion happens. And in that aspect- man does this book excel. I TOO love both of these men- for different reasons. I am confused, conflicted, bereft. And because Siobhan writes such a profoundly intense, vulnerable, and engrossing character in Aspen, I feel every ounce of her heart. I feel the angst of our journey down to my very MARROW.
What I love about Siobhan Davis is that she’s not scared to write stories about the harder parts of love, to lean into the parts of loving that are complicated and hard and disastrously messy. She leans into the type of love where people hurt each other, test each other, make unforgivable mistakes. How love can destroy or define an identity, how true love can be redemptive in one breath and toxic in another. How love can do more harm than good- how love HURTS. How love can be painful. She leans into the type of love where the heart can beat for more than one person, how different parts of yourself can love different people. Ultimately, Siobhan lets love be REAL...dramatic, but real- imperfect, complicated, and messy. And then she tests it- she explores just what true love can withstand. Is love enough?
My heart STILL hurts. I’m devastated and desperate. Conflicted and torn. But most of all, I feel empathy- for characters that have experienced the most beautiful aspects of loving another, and who have also experienced the most painful. I trust in the conclusion Siobhan will find a path to redemption and forgiveness, but for now all we can do is FEEL. Feel for the girl that loves two men who can’t seem to love her in the way she needs- for the girl who just wants to be someone’s ONE.
I implore you- read this story. There are not enough stars for me to give. I felt it so deeply, my eyes start watering just thinking about the ways these characters, their emotional journey touched me. Just know you’ll be drowning in longing and angst, and this story ends in a cliffhanger that left me raw. Our ending is shocking, devastating, intriguing, and unsettling- a final stab in my already pulverized heart. I’m ready for our conclusion to ease my pain, but if I know Siobhan at all, I know it’s going to hurt a lot more before we heal.
Let Me Love You (Book 2 of the Duet)
You won’t find spoilers in this review- because that is not how this story is meant to be experienced. We are meant to FEEL this as Vivien, to experience all her heartache and confusion and emotional chaos that comes her way. But I will say this, this book was nothing like what I expected. Siobhan makes some really brilliant and clever narrative choices that not only kept me on my toes as a reader, but also created additional layers of emotional complexity for our characters to dig through. And, it enabled her to do something that I thought was impossible- but to say just how would ruin the story. But I did find myself not only understanding but deeply empathizing with the characters' choices in book one in ways I never expected- because Siobhan so richly leans into their flaws, their mistakes, their humanity. This story does the hard and painful emotional work of unpacking every aspect of their hearts- and the path to the HEA Is arduous and painful, but SO worth it in the end.
I love these characters so intensely- every last of one of them. Vivien has claimed the spot as my favorite Siobhan heroine- her heart is so beautiful, and I loved watching her mature and evolve and become the woman we see in this book. Her confidence, her self-assurance, her understanding of self is inspiring- but most of all I love her vulnerability, her willingness to be open despite all she’s been through. And believe it or not, I love both Reeve and Dillon, in different ways and in different measures, but I appreciated and cared for each of them and the role they played in Viv’s story. They both matter so profoundly, and they both surprised me in just who they are. Mistakes abound, dramatic, frustrating, impactful mistakes- but this story is about us watching them all come to terms with it. OWNING IT- and in the end, it comes down to that, loving each other enough to own what they’ve done. Loving each other enough to forgive.
There is so much here- love and hate, mistakes and forgiveness, manipulation and selfness, innocence and maturity, pain and joy, desperation and patience, mistrust and understanding, feear and freedom, destiny and soulmates, the infinite capacity of the heart to love. I started crying at a specific point in this book, and frankly I didn’t stop. Parts of this story didn’t just break my heart- they ripped it into tiny, unrecognizable shreds. I felt it so deeply, I struggled to breathe- and not in that silly, hyperbolic overused expression type of way, in the LITERAL I could not breathe because my emotions clogged my throat kind of way. And to be clear, I don’t love love triangles and I don’t love books that make me sob. But I loved this book with every fiber of my being. Every hot, salty tear was worth it in this book. I’d cry a thousand more just to experience this story again.
Nothing like what I was expecting, yet entirely perfect in every way. Hats off to you, Siobhan, for continuing to up the game. I haven’t felt a book like this in a long time- and like the greats that were born into reality after the final page, such is this story. Long after I’ve closed the final page of this book, these characters are still walking among us- and I won’t yet forget them.
Hold Me Close (post duet novella)
So many feelings! What a beautiful tribute to the breathtaking duet, a meaningful look back and a powerful step forward. I fell in love with these characters all over again. Hold Me Close is tender, spicy, and emotionally rich- Siobhan sure can pack a novella with poignance and love.Staying true to the tone and tenor of our origin duet, this novella has plenty of angst and heartache. Siobhan continues to explore the themes of choice and consequences, the destructive nature of secrets, and the messiness of love and family. But we also get to see how these characters have evolved - more settled and stable, more emotionally present for one another, more centered- because of the unconditional love they have for each other, the trust and unbreakable connection that blossomed after unthinkable adversity. So we certainly have challenge, but so much hope, and so so much love. This novella is the perfect capturing of my nostalgic adoration of these characters while also being an authentic and meaningful step forward in their journey. Reconnection and a glimpse into the post HEA reality. I loved every minute with them- the perfect reminder that journey doesn’t stop once in love, that true love still has bumps and challenges post HEA, but it’s facing them together, in partnership, that’s the true romance.

Beautifully complex. Powerful. Brilliant. The All Of Me: The Complete Series box set was an unexpected bombshell of emotions and heartbreak that upheald Siobhan Davis' reputation as Queen of Angst!
After Say I’m The One blew my mind, Let Me Love You surpassed all my hopes from the first book. Besides going beyond emotional roller-coaster onto sky-diving level, this story has a surprising plot, complex characters that have you sometimes loving and hating them in succession, and the ability to draw you in and keep you hostage. Hold Me Close then exposes the explosive aftermath of revealed secrets for the next generation, and gives the opportunity to revisit all the characters I adored along the way. The bonus content got me to get even closer to the main characters and somehow made me love them even more. Get ready for a book hangover with this one!
I received a complimentary advance copy of this book.
I don’t know where to even start with this series!
I absolutely died for this series! I was nervous going into it with the TikTok reviews but I went for it.
FMC - Vivien 2 MMC - Reeve and Dillion
Vivien and Reeve grew up together were best friends and turned into more. Dated for years. Reeve started his career as an actor and it changed who he was. He started cheating on Vivien and after too many chances Vivien had enough and moves to Dublin for a clean break and time to find herself!
Meet Dillion- he finds out he’s adopted and when he comes in contact with his bio dad it wasn’t a reunion you’d expect. His bio dad wants him to sign a NDA and pay him off in exchange of never contacting his twin brother. Dillion hurt and pi**ed he tells him to stick it. He becomes obsessed about learning everything about his “perfect twin- Reeve!!!” and he starts planning his revenge against him. Fast forward time and he is the main singer for the band. And guess who just so happens to move into town and becomes friends with his sister, Vivien! He makes a plan to get her to fall in love with him, destroy her and send her back to Reeve broken beyond repair. There is only 1 problem, she falls in love with him and he falls even harder!
It was such a good series. I read All of me - which includes the 1st and 2nd book (Say I’m the one and Let me love you) and also includes the 3rd book (Hold me close, which is the epilogue novella) I also did read Dillions book as well!
It’s such a good series. A lot of ups and downs. Heartbreak but growth. Unexpected things happen. The best HEA I’ve ever read! It’s so good. If you read this series you won’t regret it!
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
I have read this book series several times and each time my heart breaks and then feels whole to break all over again. Siobhan has a way with words that make you feel everything her charaters are feeling. Vivin fell in love her best friend/childhood sweetheart. They have their whole lives planed out until Reeve landed his big role that tore them apart. When Vivin took her broken heart to Ireland she met a hot sexy rocker. She truly met her flame Mate. He made her burn for him once Dillion stopped hating her. The cliffhanger I never saw coming. I'll be honest at first I hated it but it ended the way it did for a good reason. Siobhan never dissapoints!! Second Book review As the fist one I read this books several times and each time it gets better and better. You will cry your eyes out.. I was crying so hard I had to stop reading/listening to book and come back to it an hour later. All I have to say you need to read this box set. It has amazing bonus POV of Reeve and extra on Dillion and Viv.. but the one with Reeve you really get to see how much Viv is his life. I cannot wait for more. This WHOLE SERIES IS ADDICTIVE... PAGE TURNER FROM BOOK ONE TO BOOK 3. BUT WARNING. THERE ARE MOMENTS IN SECOND BOOK THAT WILL HIT YOU HARD AND WILL NEED BOX OF TISSUE🥺
Fyi If you like audio books I have to day get this one on audio and read along.. have tissues ready ❤️ Sarah bring out Viv emotions through her narrating. The books come alive to me.
this series was perfect! full of love, drama , and betrayal
I have read other books by this author and each and every one of them blew me away. So when I saw this series and realized I hadn’t read it yet I immediately downloaded it. And like the others I was hooked from the first few pages. This series had me feeling all of the emotions and I cried so many times at one point I was curled up in a chair sobbing into a stuffed animal because my heart just kept breaking over and over again for all the characters involved.
This series is so much more than a love story ( or 2). It shows that even those who you have known and loved all your life can be the ones that hurt you the most. It also shows that there is no wrong way to love , or a wrong way to grieve. This series has a few triggers for me they just made me cry like a baby.
I was absolutely blown away with the way the author was able to keep me on my toes. There were many times when I sat there in shock thinking the worst had happened, no way could it get any worse for the characters the author throws another wrench into the machine. it’s like the grief comes back with a vengeance and I can’t read fast enough to find out what happens.
Get this book if you need a good cry. after all the tears had dried and I could finally breathe out of my nose again I was able to reflect back on the story and realize this series is going to stick with me for ALONG time.
Say I'm the One - 5 stars If you knew me for quite some time (in my international reviews) you could have seen I loved books written by Ms. Davis, but here I think y feelings suppressed this - and I feel OBSESSED with the story of Vivien and her growing up, falling in love and doing so much more! Just hear my warning - this one ends on a cliffhanger, and you will be dying to have your hands on book two of the duet right after finishing Say I'm the One but keep going and you won't be disappointed! This is not a story that you will read in one hour or even two, as it has a lot to give and take on those 600 pages, but don't be scared, it reads amazingly well (as always). Be ready for emotions, not your mild ones, but the ones that will rag you from the bottom of your heart to the least expected places - from good to bad, and the other way around. If I felt love, sadness, hate, and screamed while going thru this story (I'm not an emotional reader - trust me) was a sobbing mess quite a few times! So in my opinion exceeded herself in SITO! Vivien, at first I had not got on the good terms with her, but after a few chapters, I was her fan on the brightest day! I could not wait to follow what will happen in this story. She was a great young girl, she always thinks about others, so when the opportunity for Reeve will show in her hands reach, she will allow him to follow, even help him in it, by going into the shadows. But how many blows can one girl take before breaking and deciding it's not something she can handle? Well a lot, and we will be following Viv on her growing up to decisions that will be the hardest for her! Then she will have to make some decisions and she will go to Ireland to heal, t take a break, but what will come out of it? You will have to see it! One of our heroes is Reeve, Viv's childhood sweetheart, that was the epitome of a great boyfriend that was supposed to be an epitome well-behaved and caring. I bought that and I was so cheering for him, from the very beginning! And I wished him the best! And then when his career took off in the very big project, something bad happened, and he was making decisions that were made not for Viv and their future, he lost his best aim somewhere in between and had not gained his consciousness back soon enough, but is there a redemption way for him? There will be a VERY long way in front of him, and was running on the slope, but will he be able to stop before the worst happen? On the polar opposite, we can find Dillon, the man that Viv met when she was in the worst place in her whole life - she needs to start anew, and what better place than a new soil, a new continent, Ireland? He will be the one taking care of her, helping her destroy the walls that she created in her heart after what had happened in LA. He will make her change her attitude and get out of her shell. What will come out of it? I fell for him as well! What will happen in Ireland?! I loved both of the male characters! And Viv too! You can be team Reeveor team Dillion, but I think some of you will conclude the same as mine in the middle of the read. Yet by the end of the day, I think my heart belongs to Reeve (so I will cheer for him, in book 2). Throughout the whole book, I was made to feel all emotions, one after another, mostly ones that are not even similar - from sadness to feeling like I will laugh to the ache of my belly! And then this evening happens and I'm like - GIVE ME BOOK 2, I can't be left without knowing what will happen, as the three characters got me addicted/obsessed with them! Great job on the author!
Let Me Love You - 5 stars When I finished book one of this duet - Say I'm the one - I was an utter mess in my head and think how can I wait for a month in this kind of space? With my heart shattered, my eyes teary, and my mind spinning in all directions! And now few days go my torment was over and the author had published Let Me Love You, a very much-awaited conclusion of the duet. Normally, in the beginning, I would add some points to the plot, but in this story, I can't even do that in bullet points as this would ruin the story for other readers, and trust me you don't want to have this masterpiece ruined for you. If you know books written by this author read this carefully - to me, it's her BEST work up to date (all of those I read) - here we as readers can find everything, from angst, thru hate and being lost, to love. There are three main characters Vivian, Reeve, and Dillon, that will lead us thru this story and each of them still have A LOT in themselves to unrevealed it in this story, and it will allow us to feel every emotion possible while reading! I loved enduring all of these! What can I say about characters, the first shot will get our girl, Vivien, whom we have seen grow from a teenager to a strong beautiful woman that will try to deal with every obstacle in the best way she can, but not always will it be a possibility a sometimes emotions are too high, especially when it comes to this author! I was cheering for her so much! Now about the guys - o my gosh! - I loved them both! They will hold part of my heart for quite a few times, both Dillion and Reeve. They are so different, but yet similar, I can't and wot choose between them! Ending? To me the best I could, but what exactly is it, you will have to find out on your own! I just claim this story to be my fav of Ms. Davis, as it surpassed Surviving Amber Springs on my chart!
Hold Me Close - 5 stars Before you read this novella please make sure that you know and remember some of the most important things that happened in the original duet, trust me it will be needed when diving into Hold Me Close and looking into the future of the well-known and beloved characters - Vivian, Dillion, Easton, and Bodhi (they have aged since we last saw them!) Eh... in this book my heart got broken for each character as their story was hard before, and now some time in the future past is catching up - what will happen to them? I love how Ms. Davis is developing her plot and characters - it's AMAZING and so well crafted!
Exclusive bonus content - 5 stars This is an insight into scenes that we could not see/read about before from this perspective. And as always Ms. Davis delivers well, and even exceeds herself in this work! I devoured them in one sit!
Title: All of Me: the Complete Series Author: Siobhan Davis Format: Audio Narrators: Eric Nolan, KC Sheridan, Logan Anare, Sarah Puckett, Sam McGovern Genre: Romance, Contemporary, Love Triangle, Rockstar, Hollywood, Friends to Lovers, Enemies to Lovers, International, Neighbors Standalone: Yes Part of a Series: The complete series of All of Me (and some bonus scenes) POV: Vivian, Dillon, Easton, Bodhi, Reeve Steam Level: Steamy 5/5
Before I listened to this box set I had already listed to the first two books in the series (the initial duet) but not third and final/follow up book, which is like an extended epilogue that takes place about 8 to 10 years after the ending of the second book. I highly recommend reading this series in the box set. I loved the three bonus scenes as well. This series is emotional, heart breaking at times. Dealing with emotional topics including betrayal and forgiveness, love and loss, lies and betrayal, revenge and guilt, secrets and self-destructing the All of Me series is fantastic. Throughout the tough there is also love, friendship, adventure, and laughs. Family and found family are important throughout. Siobhan Davis is a fantastic author and the series and amazing.. Even the second time around I was pulled in from the start - laughing and crying and swooning over Reeve and Dillon.
Book 1: Say I'm the One Narrators: Sarah Puckett, K.C. Sheridan, Logan Anare, Sam McGovern Genre: Romance, suspense, friends to lovers, neighbors, Hollywood, enemies to lovers, triangle, rock star POV: Vivian Steam Level: Hot 5/5
Siobhan Davis is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors. Say I'm the One has it all - steam, suspense, the boy next door, a bad boy tattooed rocker, mean girls, and amazing friends.
Vivian and Reeve are best friends. They are each other's past, present, and future. Or are they? Reeve's Hollywood career is taking off and fans of Siobhan Davis will enjoy what film he lands a role in, recognizing the scene they practice. However, thing go sideways in a spectacular way leading to Vivian spending a semester abroad/in hiding. Without Reeve.
Enter Dillon. The bad boy up-and-coming rock star who's a moody, and sexy, jerk. Their chemistry is undeniable. Dillon is closed-off, angry and the perfect fling - except when feelings get involved. Whoops. What's Vivian to do? She's in love with two guys.
Fast forward several years when her worlds collide in an explosive and unexpected way. Vivian's world is shaken. Things she thought she knew are in question. And did he know the entire time? What about him? He says that the other did but was he as manipulated as the other?
Siobhan Davis is a master writer and I'm so glad I had the second book to dive into because if I had had to wait I would have lost my mind. Say I'm the One made me stop and just be with this story and these characters.
Book 2: Let Me Love You Genre: Romance, triangle, second chance, enemies to lovers, rock star, Hollywood Narrators: Sarah Puckett, Sam McGovern, Logan Anare, KC Sheridan POV: Dillon and Vivian Steam Level: Toasty 5/5
I have a confession. I figured out who Vivian ended up with from the first chapter of the first book. However, what I didn't know was the emotional ringer Siobhan Davis would put me through to get them there. Any holy biscuits is this and emotional journey. I like that Siobhan Davis doesn't shy away from difficult topics. As Let Me Love You unfolded mover and more secrets were revealed. It seemed like everybody was hiding something and as the secrets were revealed more and more pieces of this story slotted into place. Betrayals, both expected and unexpected happen. Old enemies emerge at inopportune times. And the cuteness that Easton brings lightens what could have been and heart-wrecking story. It's heart-wrenching at times and I didn't know how Siobhan Davis would redeem a characters but she did in the best way. Very rarely do I want to relisten (or reread) a book or series but this is one (well two) that I will reread in the future.
Book 3: Hold Me Close Narrator: Eric Nolan, KC Sheridan, Logan Anare, Sarah Puckett Genre: Romance, rock star POV: Dillon, Vivian, Easton, Bodhi Steam Level: Toasty 5/5
Hold Me Close is the third book in the All of Me Duet. It's more of an book length, extended epilogue that takes place about 8 or 10 years after the initial duet ends. Vivian and her husband are still happily marries. The issues here start when their sons watch the movie about their family and the love Vivian had for the two men that Viv had written in the first two books. Both are upset but Bodhi is especially upset and acting out. I loved having both Easton and Bodhi's POV along with Vivian and Dillon's. I love how they try to deal with all the feelings - anger, betrayal, abandonment, guilt and love. Hold Me Close was just as emotional as the first two books and I loved it just as much. This is a great follow up of the All of Me duet and Siobhan Davis continues to be a masterful storyteller. She knows how to weave together both the heavy and the light-hearted and kept me listening long after I should have stopped. I loved it just as much as I loved the first two books in this duet..
Bonus Scenes: There are three bonus scenes, all pivotal to this story and I loved them. This first scene is in Reeve's POV which I don't think we ever got in this story. This scene takes place after one of his and Vivian's arguments. In it, you can feel his love and devotion to Vivian. I loved having this addition to this story to see his reaction to what happened. The second scene is from Dillon's POV. We saw this scene from Vivian's POV initially. I loved seeing it from Dillon's. I loved that spark was mutual and seeing Dillon's reaction to Vivian was fantastic. It explained a lot and seeing his thoughts was a great addition. The third bone scene takes place between the first two books and I wanted more., but it was also enough. These bons scenes were all a great addition to this amazing story and allowed me to revel in it a bit more before the book ended.
I received this audiobook for free from Audiobook Obsession and Pink Flamingo Productions. This is my honest and voluntary review.
All of me, the boxset If you need a good cry with a happily ever after, this book is for you!!!
I don't even know where to start, so I will start by saying wow this series is incredible." It's heartwarming and heartbreaking, but man, it is an amazing series. I felt like I was right there along for the ride the whole time. I cried a lot like ugly. I cried that being said, and I also laughed and smiled so much. Viv is so incredibly strong and still has such a big heart after everything she has been through. She is an incredible wife, mother, and friend.
Ps #TEAMDILLON aways
Poor Bodhi is not handling know the whole story of what happened well, and he is lashing out at his brother Easton, mom, and dad. Easton is keeping his feelings locked away because he feels he needs to take care of his brother.
