Come for a visit to Walker Island where you'll find stunning Pacific Northwest ocean views, men too intriguing to resist...and five close-knit sisters who are each about to find their one true love.
During the past year, Emily Walker has been thrilled to watch each of her sisters fall in love one after the other. Having stepped into her late mother's shoes nearly two decades ago, Emily has always put her family first. A family that also includes Michael Bennet. Tall, strong and good with his hands, he moved in as a teenager after the tragic death of his parents. But while the rest of her sisters look at Michael like a brother, Emily has always had to fight against seeing him as something more. So much more...
Michael owns the island's top construction company, but he's never too busy to help out at the rambling Walker house whenever one of them needs him to pitch in. Especially Emily, the Walker sister he's had a major crush on since the very first day he set eyes on her. The time was never right to turn their friendship into anything more, but after so many years of unrequited love, he can't hold back his feelings anymore.
When Michael surprises Emily at her sister's wedding with his declaration of love, she can't help but wonder if her best friend was actually more all along? Maybe even her one true love that will last forever...
All For Love is the fifth fun, sweet, and emotional contemporary romance in the Walker Island series from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, Lucy Kevin. __
The Walker Island Series
• Book 1: Be My Love • Book 2: No Other Love • Book 3: When It's Love • Book 4: All For Love • Book 5: Forever In Love __
Emily and Michael have always been in love with each other, but she was always afraid of getting hurt by loving someone and admiting she had feelings for him, so Michael was patient to wait the right moment to declare to her the love he has always felt, and from this moment begins their journey to their forever. Michael and Emily love story was the sweetest thing.
I'm a Bella Andre fan so I was interested in her writing as Lucy Kevin.
I love a friends to lovers story just as much as the next girl. This one was missing something. I liked that the H declared his feelings openly and early on. I didn't like that the h although she thought she had similar feelings kept pushing them aside. And I'm not a fan of the storyline where one sibling sacrifices over and over for the rest of the family while they all get to have their HEA while said sibling stumbles and fumbles questioning why she doesn't deserve her own HEA.
Enjoyed Emily and Michael's story very much. Emily has been sacrificing for years to take care of her sisters. And now that they have all found love, Michael makes his move. He's been beside Emily through a lot. She can't believe that he loves her though.
Language was clean. There were sexual situations, but not detailed.
Emily Walker ist eher eine Mutter als eine Schwester für Schwestern. Doch jetzt ist auch die letzte unter der Haube. Auf der Hochzeit gesteht Michael Bennet ihr seine Liebe und auch das er sie nicht so schnell aufgibt. Emily hat auch Gefühle für ihn und doch will sie ihren besten Freund nicht verlieren. Ich muss zugeben, dass ich das Buch einmal begonnen habe zu lesen und dann wieder weggelegt habe. Ich konnte keine rundum glückliche und liebevolle Geschichte lesen. Jedoch hat sich es geändert. Jetzt wollte ich so viel Kitsch wie möglich haben. Also hat das Buch perfekt gepasst. Michael ist ein Mann, der Jahre gewartet hat Emily seine Liebe zu gestehen und dann auch nicht so schnell aufgibt. So kurz vor dem Ziel zu sein. Emily hat es nicht gleich im Leben und versuchte die Mutter für ihre Schwestern zu sein, die leider verstorben war und ihr Vater sich vom Leben überfordert war. Normallweiser sollte es eine Kurzgeschichte werden. Denn das sich die beiden Lieben merkt man schnell. Doch Emils Angst hält so einiges zurück. Während sie auf Suche ist, nach der Antwort die man als Leser schon weiß. Darf von so einiges aus der Vergangenheit von Emily und Michael erfahren und live in Flashbacks miterleben. Eine wunderschöne und romantische Liebesgeschichte mit keinen Überraschungen.

Emily and Michael have known each other since he was five, and her mother, Ellen, brought her over for a play date. Now, after her mother died and 15 years after his parents died, he still loves her. Only now, with all of her sisters either married or with the men they love, he feels the time is right for him to let her know how he feels. He tells her at her sister Morgan's wedding on top of the hill, looking down at the reception that he loves her and always has, and she loves him! Will he be able to make her see it? How will a dog help? Will Grams and Tres be able to also help? What about her sister's? Only one way to find out, read this great story by Bella Andre and Lucy Kevin.
Emily Walker helped raise her sisters with her grandmother and her best friend Michael Bennett. After watching each of her four younger sisters find the love of their lives could it finally be her turn for Love. I loved the Walker Island series and Emily's story was the perfect end to it. I would recommend this story to romance readers who like family series. Great storylines and characters that come back for visits in the follow-up books.
They did indeed love each other since they first had a playdate at 5 years old. He helped her when Ellen her mother died suddenly. She helped him stay on the island and made him a foster brother to her sisters while always being his best friend. She had to learn that she actually loved him and they already were supporting each other and deserved their happily ever after together ❤️❣️
With all her sisters happily married, living their dreams, it’s finally Emily’s turn. Unless she is to afraid of change and possible loss to reach for her love.
This story is a fitting end to the sagas of the Walker Sisters. The story is sometimes repetitious, sometime obvious and has an ending that was expected from the very beginning.
The love story of Emily and Michael. Michael has been in love with Emily since he was four year old. When his parents was kill the Walker toke him in. The four younger sisters think of Michael as a brother but Emily love him. Can she stop thinking of the happiness of her sisters over her own happiness?
Great ending to this series of books, the story of Emily and Michaels love that was never in question to everyone else, was finally realised and finished this story properly.
Bella Andre knows how to hold your attention right from the start. Her characters are well developed and you feel like you know them. I would recommend this book to anyone, it's fabulous!!!
Charming & sweet novella, Michael & Emily's love story was the perfect ending to the series, plus I'm a sucker for love since childhood story, just lovely!
Finally started the last book in this series. I'm sure this will be a quick read too. This turned out better than I thought. I liked this one the best of the whole series. There was only one part I didn't like and I don't want to give it away. If you read it you will know what I mean. I felt bad for them when it happened. I'm glad the series is over. . .
Forever in Love is Emily and Michael's story. Now that her four sisters have all found love, Michael decides it is time to make sure that Emily knows exactly how he feels. Michael has loved Emily since they first met. But Emily has spent her life making sure her sisters had a good life after their mother died. She was scared to show her love for Michael because if it did not last, she would lose her best friend. Emily had many barriers to overcome to realize love is always scary but worth the risk. Great read.
This love story has been hinted at since the beginning. And it didn't disappoint. He wanted her and he worked for her, constantly keeping her on her toes. He only made one mistake in my opinion, and that was proposing after only really started working for her after a week. He should have let her get used to the idea first. But that is a character flaw, not author. He just became to confident too quick
I have enjoyed reading the Walker Island series. Tho I enjoyed the other Walker books, I'm glad that Emily and Michael's story was saved for last. You could feel the love that these two always had for each other even when they tried to hide it. They have always been there for each other. I cried as this story came full circle.
You don't have to read books 1-4 to truly appreciate Forever in Love but it makes the story sweeter knowing what came before. Great job Lucy Kevin, another winner.
Michael and Emily story was the perfect ending to series. We saw them together through out the stories of her younger sisters. They were a constant presence. For their story to finally be told was Great .... Loved it!
