LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!! What an AWESOME series! I LOVED this book! It’s a hot, beautiful romance! If you admit to be addicted to read about rich, self-confident, sexy billionaires, than you have to READ THIS SERIE!!!
After reading the first book I just had to purchase this one because I was addicted! I started reading the first book and once I finished it I realized that I needed to read the next installment and I just couldn't put it down... I have been drawn to this type of story line since 50 Shades and Bared to you and can't seem to get enough. Yes, I know it is not easy to bring something new in this kind of stories or to surprise you with some new twists. BUT! I can assure you that Olivia Thorne did it!!!! And she did it BRILLIANT!!!
I absolutely love her writing style and the first person POV! It is original, witty, playful, funny and sexy. It is like sitting and talking with a girlfriend.
I am absolutely in love with Connor Brooks alias Templeton, the richest man of….doesn’t matter. He's a super successful controlling self-confident alpha male but at the same time he is very romantic, tender, protective, generous and OMG sooooo HOT! The fact that at the beginning Lily didn't have any idee with whom she was dealing with makes the story even more interesting.
I like his ironical sense of humor, I like the way how he treats Lily, with a lot of patience, care, passion and tenderness. At the same time you have no doubts that Connor is a very serious competent businessman who needs to keep everything under controll. This trait of his refers also to his private life. NO, he doesn’t tie Lily to the bed "to take her hymen"! Thanks god she is not a virgin!( I am tired of reading about virgins that break all existing sex-records on their first night. ) He gives no order like “come now”…he is ….OMG I wanted to crawl into the book to be on her place!
The sex scenes are not only hot, they are AMAZING, TASTEFUL, GREAT, the chemistry, the sexual tension between the two of them is UNBELIVABLE! I like Lily, she is so real, so natural, I like how she can be shy and naughty at once.
This is a super smutty, super sexy full on erotica read with a really good story which kind of took me by surprise.
Now I am a fan of Olivia Thorne forever!!!

Remember, I'm not sexaully experienced. Sexually well-readed, yes, but not experienced. Two of my four ex-boyfriends couldn't even find my clitoris. Three of them didn't |go down on me much (one not at all), so why would they have taken the time to find what was, to them , a mythical place that didn't afford them any pleausure?

"Do you know why else I wanted you!" he whispered, in a deep, seductive voice, as his fingers caressed my hair and set my heart pounding."...why?" I whispered back. "Because you're real".

I really enjoyed 'All That He Wants' and I loved 'All That She Wants' so you can imagine just how much I was looking forward to this one.
Lily has taken a chance and gone with Connor for the weekend, she's whisked away to LA where she finds herself living a life she could dream about, limo, penthouse suite in the most luxurious hotel and while she can appreciate the splendour she's not shallow or stupid so she tries to discover more about Connor.
Again I enjoyed this book and while it didn't make quite as much progress as I would have liked I can't wait to read the next one.

Olivia Thorne has created a fast-paced, steamy romance between Lily and Connor. I love the dialog/descriptions that Lily provides, it is like sitting and talking with a girlfriend and feels really honest. I think many of us can relate to issues/situations Lily has encountered. Excited for the follow-up installments to follow this relationship.

I loved this book! It’s a hot, beautiful romance!
The characters were amazing. I really like Lily but I love Connor.
I love the way this book is written, it’s like the character is talking right to you, explaining the story to you. The author drew me in with the first story and now I am hooked!
I can't wait to see what happens in the next part!

great continuation of the story, little snippets are slowly being revealed. Still curious about Connor's end game. P.S what is it with hot buff alpha billionaires being called Connor lol.

I definitely like Connor's games!! Ò_Ó

Creo que este ha sido el mejor juego de poker de la vida, pero aun no hay nada de profunda y jugosa información sobre Connor Brooks Templeton.

the story line is quiet lengthy but short when it comes to reading the books. I find that it could have all been put into one book. and not 4 different ones.

Do not know how I missed these
Dragged away from a scrappy job by a gorgeous man for food and great sex, sign me up. Connor is a wealthy cocky man with true warmth under the snark. In this episode we see the softer side.

*** Edited 19-11-13 - see end of review ***
I am not even going to apologise but I absolutely refuse to give this 4 stars even though it is worthy of it, for half an hours pleasure the cost of this book is way, way, way too expensive and I honestly think it's why there are very few reviews for it the buyers are being put off.
Based on word count this isn't worthy of 4 stars in my opinion as this is book 2 so we're now about 160 odd pages into this series and it's still the same day that they have met. Yes the writing is really, really and I mean really engaging but I am truly worried at this rate how long this is going to get strung out for at the price being charged and how much this could potentially cost me. At this rate it's going to be more expensive that the really well known authors out there and that just kills me because I am well and truly hooked on these books.
I honestly do love Olivia's writing style, it's catchy, engaging and you easily get drawn into the story and I happen to love Connor and Lily, I do wonder where this is going but I will carry on but may give up after the next instalment (#3) if not much more happens which is really sad purely because I won't be able to afford to keep up. I did notice that book 3 has a bigger page content than 1 and 2 and that's ultimately what persuaded me to take the plunge and purchase book 2.
So anyway my star count for this is 3.5 stars without knocking off the 1/2 star for the sheer price against page count. I am finger itchy torn to give 4 stars as the easy wit and writing style definitely make it too hard to resist, but I honestly think that book 2 should have been kept at the same price as book 1, it would have been snapped up by so many more readers at that price. So the author needs to weigh up quantity versus cost.
*** Edit.......
I am doing a happy dance as the news about the length of this series came to light over the weekend and is now known to all (if your a Olivia Thorne fan. But listen to this as well - instalments 1 thru 4 are available as one single volume now - much better value for money! And the last instalments (what would have been 5 thru 7) are only available in ONE book bringing us to the end in one hit - YAY!!!!! That's 500 pages in Volume 2 of reading pleasure and the way Olivia writes it will be a pleasure indeed! I am so glad she has changed how this series was being released and I her love her all the more for that!

*This review covers Volumes 1 and 2*
Anyone who has read my reviews before knows that I detest cliffhangers. Serial romances aren’t my thing, but every once in a while a story comes along that intrigues me enough that I’m willing to give it a chance. This is such a story.
This series begins with Lily Ross, assistant to a VP who runs roughshod over her and which she privately calls Herr Klaus, is working late on a Friday night for little pay and even less appreciation. Lily is a relatable heroine who is getting by, not sure what she wants, but with a good sense of humor and appealing outlook. She is summoned down to the lobby by Connor, the billionaire hero, who sweeps her up into a hot and heavy affair that takes Lily straight into the fast lane.
The Good
Lily was likeable and it was very easy to get pulled in and I can see why she’d run off with Connor. The obstacles they face were an interesting take on standard billionaire romance fare. The humor and the chemistry between the characters is not an easy thing to write - some have the knack and some don’t. Ms. Thorne has the knack. I enjoyed the secondary characters, especially when they were used to knock some sense into Lily and Connor.
The Bad
They are both and Lily are frustrating but likeable characters. The sex is very hot but because it’s a serial, it can be repetitive and I ended up skimming some of the later love scenes.
The Bottom Line
I was sucked in when the part 1 of the first volume was up for free on amazon, and much like a good drug dealer, Ms. Thorne gave me a taste and then sucked me in. She had me ponying up some serious cash for the opportunity to read the entire series. So, well played Ms. Thorne, well played.

I really liked this, but I'm so confused. The way these stories are constructed leave me thinking that I'm going to be confused for quite a while too. There are a lot of elements at play in this story to distract and mislead and I know I don't like stories like this and I'm reading it anyway. I hate that he's so mysterious and she's so clueless but also so helpless? Like, she's freaking out because she's normally a rational, level-headed person - okay, I can buy this. Then again, your actions in these stories are not making your case for that, Lily. Why on earth is he shady as hell? I'm sure he's used to women who just want him for his money or body or whatever, but we're given to believe that Lily is different than them so why isn't he trying to ease her worries and treating her like a person? Don't even get me started on the bodyguard, we've been hit over the head with some foreshadowing there so it's just a matter of time 'til we're in unsexy kidnap/murder/torture territory by some anonymous enemies.
I will say that I like how "real" the writer is. It's a pretty non-traditional writing style, but even though at times it's jarring since I'm not used to it, when I think about it the MC's inner dialogue makes a LOT of sense and I feel like she could be a real person having normal thoughts and worries.

nah di buku kedua ini si lily udah setuju mau menghabiskan akhir pekan sama connor di the dubai yang aduhai kerennya. awalnya dia agak aneh, nama belakangnya si connor kan brooks, tapi di sana dipanggil mr. templeton. dikira sih si connor ini lagi nyamar atau gimana. dan...
well, di dalam kamar hotel si lily ini diajakin main poker dan berakhir making out juga pastinya. aturan pokernya sih simpel dan standar romance novels banget. si connor mau lily lepasin bajunya tiap kali connor menang, sementara lily mau connor ngejawab setiap pertanyaan yang diajuin lily secara jujur. setelah deal dan permainan dimulai, mulai terkuak deh sejarah percintaannya si connor yang bikin lily syok.
endingnya lily nanya kenapa sih connor dipanggil mr. templeton muluk. dan jawabannya adalah...

Wow this series keeps getting better and better. Connor takes Lily to the newest and hottest hotel in town. People are calling him Mr. Templeton and treating him like a celebrity. Lily is confused and overwhelmed. He takes her to the lavish penthouse. They play a game of strip/truth poker. If Connor wins he makes her takes off an article of clothing. If Lily wins she makes him answer a question truthfully. She loses the game and Connor rocks her world with multiple orgasms. Oh my word he's freaking amazing! Then after she asks why everyone called him Mr. Templeton. He is shocked that she really doesn't know who he is. He admits that's his name. Then she realizes he is one of the richest men on the planet. A billionaire several times over. Omg!!!

All That He Desires by Olivia Thorne
I’m so glad the second story of this series didn’t fizzle out as some stories can do, if anything it kicked it a couple of notches in the erotica department. I’ll look back on this story as the foreplay of the series!
These two characters are some of the hottest that I’ve read so far this year and though as always I wish it was one complete novel, this was so well written I’m in it until the end.

This is a fast read. I found the book odd as to the way it was written. It is written like someone is talking or thinking out loud and this person would be Lily the heroine. She meets the mysterious Connor and by the end of the book we still aren't sure who he is. Hopefully the next book will reveal more!
July 2, 2013
Another great short story (78 pages) continuing with Connor & Lily. Read this one in less than two hours. It pulls you in just as it left you at the end of book 1 and will keep you in through the end with your jaw on the floor with what Lily figures out about Connor, swoon worthy. Now time to read book 3 All That he Demands. Great book, great author.
September 1, 2013
Love the way this book is written - like she is talking right to you explaining the story to you. She drew me in with the first story and now I am hooked! Can't wait to read the rest of the books.

Rating: 4.5
So far there hasn't really been a real story line to the series, only lust. But at the end of this I think the real story line is about to come.
This is a series with short novels that are parts of one whole story.

The story is just okay for me. I gave the book three stars because I like the characters. I like Lily's voice although, I could do without her inner monologue during the love scenes. "A Little less conversation a little more action"... (E Presley).
On to all He Demands.

Okay so I have to give it to the author on this one...this part was extremely HOT. One thing that I don't get is how on earth did Lily not figure out Conner was the owner once they got to the hotel.
I can't wait to see what happens in the next part!

I'm not sure but the MC just didn't have the same 'Oomf' as before. Although, sadly, this genre is hard to read by because of Fifty Shades of Crap for me. Nobody can even remotely resemble them shits without my eye getting all twitchy.

Loved this second book. But it was too short, and left me hanging and wanting the third book badly.
The seduction continues and she is swept away.

WAY TO SHORT!!!! That would be my only complaint. Otherwise this is one of the hottest books I've ever read. Can't wait for the next one.
