All of My Love

Grayson Friends #9

by Francis Ray

Stella McBride realizes that she made a horrible mistake when she divorced her husband Paul to marry another man. Now a free woman, more than anything she wants another chance with the man she truly loves. But Paul doesn't want to have anything to do with her.

Paul was devastated when Stella divorced him. If it hadn't been for their children, he might not have survived. There's no way he'll ever let her back in his life again. The next time he might not survive because he is still deeply in love with Stella.

The three blissfully happy McBride children want the same for their divorced parents who have both made painful mistakes, but who are still head over heels for each other. The McBride brothers and sister--with a little help--devise a plan to get their parents back together. With Mother's Day a few weeks away, it just might be the perfect time for Paul and Stella to realize that their love is worth fighting for.

Usually I am not into O.P.F. (Old People Fornicating) but I really enjoyed Stella and Paul's story. We got to know them a little bit in each of their children's stories and I knew we hadn't heard the last of them. As we all know, Stella abandoned her family for a rich man and moved to New York. We could tell the love was still their between these two although Paul has always tried to fight it. Can their kids, with the help of a good family friend, get their parents back together again? Find out this and more when you read this great book by Mrs. Ray!

All of my Love was truly a great and wonderful read. Paul and Stella McBride have been apart for years because of a misunderstanding and are having a difficult time trying to forgive and forget. With the love of family and one Ruth Grayson, the children devise a plan to force Paul and Stella to confront their past and recreate a new future. This was a good read that pulled at the heartstrings. Ms. Ray did an outstanding job revealing and displaying emotions from both these characters. This was a keeper and a quick read.

Stella and Paul had a love that was more than he could handle when it all just fell apart. Stella just up and divorced her husband (she loved more than anything)to marry another. Paul never got over it and out of a mind set to get revenge he almost took a gamble that would not pay off for him in the long run.

When the bonds of love are pushed to the point of breaking, what can make things been seen in a more perspective view? Take a read 'All of My Love'. Ray gives us a look at second chances and the value that should be placed on them before its too late.

Another great book my Mrs. Ray. I love her work and don't think that I have ever been disappointed when reading anything she has written. I know a lot about the story line here, I wish everyone is able to have a happy ending like Stella and Paul did. Maybe with more time passing it will work out for those that are in this situation. The type of pain Paul endured when Stella left is unbearable and not everyone can handle it, nor are they able to forgive even if they are still in love. Glad it all worked out for them.

Second Chance Romance

I love that this book gave the readers the back story as to why Duncan, Cameron, and Faith's parents divorced. The story was engaging, and the main characters Paul & Stella were loveable and I found myself rooting for them. Having Faith & Brandon pretty much throughout the book was great, along with a brief show of Duncan & wife Raven, Cameron & wife Caitlin, Blade & Sierra, as well as Ruth. If you've read Francis Ray's Graysons series, the Falcons, and the Taggarts, then this is a must read.

All of My Love

From her previous books, I could tell these parents would reunite. I am glad she was able to complete this book before her untimely passing over the summer. Francis will surely be missed by all. The love between the Grayson family and friends is a treasure to read. Great book as always.

Great read

Excellent tale of a rekindled love. Just a little fact the love out weight everything if everyone is so willing to try, forgive, and overlook their own personal hurt and pain. I wish I could find a copy of this book to add to complete the collection. It makes the collection feel incomplete. At least I will still have them all in my kindle. Job well done

There's nothing like getting a second chance and they was the case for Stella and Paul. This is an couple who loved one another but they forgot the one thing that kept their love alive; communication. Walk with Stella and Paul on this journey of healing, honesty, and love.
