Going All the Way

Sapphire Falls Universe

by Suzanne Rock

As Annabelle travels with Seth to Sapphire Falls to help her ailing grandmother, she wonders if their relationship will survive the trip. Seth’s depression over leaving the Ecstasy Spa has overwhelmed their relationship and left her exhausted. She wants them to move on, but something keeps holding them back. Deep down she wonders if the man she fell in love with will ever return, or if he has left her for good.

Seth feels like a failure. He has no idea what Annabelle sees in him and wishes he could be the man she needs him to be. The harder he tries to mend their relationship, the worse things become, until something happens in Sapphire Falls that makes him stop being the man he thinks she wants and start acting more like himself.

Any addition to the Sapphire Falls stories is a plus in my book. I just love that place!! In this novella we are introduced to Annabelle and Seth who have come to Sapphire Falls from Chicago because she has been told her grandmother is very sick. It could not come at a worse time for these two as their relationship is not going well. But it turns out that maybe what you really need is to go home again or find a place that can be home to make everything seem right again. I was given an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Another great addition to Sapphire Falls! Going All The Way by Suzanne Rock was a continuation of her story, Quick Fix, but can totally be read as a standalone. Seth and Anna are an established couple already at the beginning of the story, but have hit a bit of a rough patch in their lives in Chicago. Anna, originally from Sapphire Falls, needs to go home to take care of her grandma. Little does she know that she will fall back in love with the town that she grew up in. The ghosts that once haunted her don’t seem so scary anymore. Now she only has to convince Logan. Logan wants nothing more than to get out of the small town. His life isn’t here. He doesn’t belong her. He has already been feeling Anna pull away from him, but Anna remembering her love of the small town wasn’t going to help his case. Little does he know, Sapphire Falls will find its way into his heart as well! I loved Seth and Anna’s don’t give up attitude, no matter how easy it would have been for them to go their separate ways. Their love trumps all. Not only do we see some of our favorites from Sapphire Falls, but also some of the new characters from the Kindle World! This is such a fun time!!
Happy reading!

This was a great read and great addition to Erin Nicholas Sapphire Falls Kindle world. Anna and Seth went to visit Anna's grandmother back in her hometown as she has been "under the weather", also with the hard times they have been having in Chicago where they are having and in their relationship, will this trip help or hurt their relationship. Suzanne Rock wrote a great story of love and how family comes first.

I hadn't read either the Sapphire Falls or Ecstasy Spa series before, but this spinoff from both can still be read as a standalone quite happily. Anna and Seth from book one of the Ecstasy Spa series are experiencing a rough patch in their relationship when they are called back to visit Anna's ailing grandmother in Sapphire Falls. In that little town they find exactly what they need as individuals and as a couple, and I enjoyed this enough to want to read both series now.

Seth and Annabelle come to visit her Grandmother in Sapphire Falls. Annabelle escaped her hometown because it wasn't easy there for her but now she is back and falling in love with the town. Seth has never had a home, as an orphine he doesn't know what it is like to have roots. Can they both fall in love with this small town or is it the end?

This is the classic story of a couple that has let life get in the way of their relationship. It didn't occur to me how they were both responsible for where they stood in the relationship. I thought all their problems started with Seth but I was so wrong. There's a point in the story that is an "aha" moment and things start to make sense. Seth and Anna have got to realize what's really important in life and it just may take a tragic illness to make them see that.

Any visit to Sapphire Falls is a great one. This story is part of the Sapphire Falls Kindle world. This is a great little town created by Erin Nicholas and it's so great to see a fantastic author like Suzanne Rock add her talent to the stories in this amazing place.

I really enjoyed this book even though I'm new to the Sapphire Falls Series. I have read some of the Ecstasy Spa books but not the one about Annabella and Seth. I was still able to follow along with this book. I love small towns and their dynamics. Everyone know everyone but in this case that's just what Anna was running away from. Her Grandmother calls her needing her to return and she can't refuse but Seth isn't happy about it. He was an orphan and never had a real family so a small town isn't the place he wants to be. Its a great story about how a small town can suck you in and change your mind.

This was a very sweet short read and an excellent new addition to my favourite world. Anna and Seth are already a couple when they arrive in Sapphire Falls, What's the connection? Well Anna grew up in Sapphire Falls and when she went away to college she never came back, until now when her grandma calls because she is unwell. This trip is a make or break For Anna and Seth as their relationship is a bit on the rocks and they have drifted apart. It is a really sweet sexy funny read that shows you just how much Sapphire Falls can lure you in and make you never want to leave again. It is well worth a visit in the eyes of Author Suzanne Rock

This was a pretty good short read. It took me a bit to click with Seth, but with his past, I could understand where he was coming from. Anna was pretty go with the flow, but when it came to matters of the heart, she knew when to step up and speak up. I loved that they both seemed to finally find themselves, and realized how much they truly mean to each other. I would recommend this if you are looking for a good, quick read.

[Cheryl Graham-Petit · Rating 4 out of 5]

Going All the Way is a beautiful story about being in love and about losing that love only to find it again when you least expect it. Suzanne Rock creates characters that you can't help but love. Her characters aren't just characters, they are people; people who have real feelings, real struggles, and real strengths. From the very beginning to the very end, Ms. Rock has written a story that you won't want to put down.

like all novellas this book has to rush to give you a beginning, a climax, and a finish. This book felt a bit rushed, but that's was expected. Anna and Seth have some serious issues to overcome to make their relationship work. What I liked best was that they both gave in, not just one of them. A good quick read where you will encounter many formiliar places and people.

[Leanne Bryson · Rating 4 out of 5]

I enjoy revisiting characters from previous books and seeing what Seth and Anna are up to from the Ecstasy Spa series was great. Things don't always work out easily, but they can work out, with some effort, compromise, and love. Short, easy, read, well done. Thanks for the ARC and this is an honest review.

Short and sexy

I got this book as part of the Sapphire Falls Kindle World release. It's short and sexy, yet manages to tie up all of the loose threads of the story satisfactorily without leaving you hanging. More sex than some of the Sapphire Falls Kindle World books but done well.

Different look

It's still Sapphire Falls, but not everything is happy to start with. Seth and Anna are having relationship problems when they take a trip to Sapphire Falls to check on her grandmother. They have some big decisions to make on whether they will stay together or not.

[Emily · Rating 4 out of 5]

Overall I really I liked the story of Annabelle & Seth. However the author kept refering to the Bennett's boys mom as Kendra. Her name is Kathy Bennett. That was the main thing that kept annoying me throughout the whole book. That was the only thing I would change in the whole book.

Cute

This is a cute love story. It is well written with very nice love scenes. The ending is great. Loved her decision.

[Staci · Rating 4 out of 5]

I loved Seth and Annabelle's story. I want to go back and read more books by this author.
