All Of Me
Seven years is supposed to change the way you feel.
Sophie’s not supposed to still dream about the way Liam touched her or the way they moved together. When she heads back to Naugatuck Island, she assumes Liam doesn’t even live there any more. Whatever he once felt, it has to have grown cold by now.
But Liam’s a firefighter. He knows better than anyone, never underestimate the power of a blaze. Those embers may appear cold, but nothing is ever as it seems.
Those embers? They're just waiting to burst into flames.

4 scorching stars
It's like you're in my blood...I can't stop thinking about you"
What a great second chance romance novel!
Sophie was an amazing heroine. Strong willed and the fact that she was a retired dancer definitely earned points in my book and made her very relatable to me (I used to dance!)
And Liam...omgggg Liam. Sexy, strong, alpha male, and a firefighter. There was nothing I didn't love about him!
Liam and Sophie's heat factor was off the charts and OMG their sex scenes were SO scorching (PUN INTENDED!)
This was a fast paced read and Callie Harper's writing was flawless! This is my first novel by Ms Harper and it certainly won't be the last !

ARC kindly provided by SFab PR in Exchange for my honest review.
Well, hello there Mr. sexy firefighter! :)
Hot damn!
Okay, first of all, I have to mention that I haven't read the first book in the series (Chase & Emma's Story), but since this is a standalone, I had no problems connecting the dots.
All of me is a second chance romance...and a great one to be honest. I read it in a couple of hours.
It's a beautiful love story between a broken man and a girl who broke his heart seven years ago. Aside from beautiful, this is a story of passion and redemption, with a dash of bdsm just to spice up things a bit.
Liam is a firefighter, occasional dominant and all around nice guy. You will love him!
Sophie is a former ballerina who is back to Naugatuck island after she spent last seven years dancing her way to the top in NYC. They spent one summer together, but somehow, even though they were apart, they just couldn't let go of their feelings for each other.
You could say that they are complete opposites, but their chemistry is off the charts!
When Sophie finally runs into Liam again, he is not the same boy she left behind years ago.
He will show her just what she's been missing all along.
I highly recommend it!

This book is everything a second chance, feel good, never give up on your one true love book needs to be.
Sophie, strong and determined after retiring from the life of professional dance, throws caution to the wind and sets her sights on a new studio, but the studio will bring her far more than she bargained for, opening doors she never knew she wanted opening and certainly not by the man she's never forgotten.
Liam oh holy hotness Liam, dominant, alpha male that will ignite a fire deep inside of you. The chemistry between Sophie and Liam pours from the pages, the story flows effortlessly capturing your full attention from start to finish.
Another stunning read from Callie can't wait to see what comes next.

****SOME SPOILERS****
This is the second book in the All in Series. If you haven't read In deep (Chase & Emma's Story) go read it now! This can be read as a standalone. As always Callie doesn't disappoint. A second chance romance with set the pages on fire sex scenes.
Sophie comes from a rich family with a control freak mother, work maniac dad and a brother & sister that have major issues. She used to be a prima ballerina, but lost her passion for dancing professionally as it become a gruelling boring routine. She's now 25, dancing has been her life and she has no clue what to do next. Until she sees an empty old shop that will made a great dance studio, with a lot of hard work. She'd let the one man she can't get out of her head, out of her life...Liam. After 7 years the spark is electrifying between them. He's changed a lot in loads of ways.
Liam has a loving mother, his dad has passed away which was the best for the family with his dad being a abusive drunk. He loves his work as a firefighter, makes customary carpentry work, he also has a little secret side hobby of being a dom, at private clubs once a month whilst going to see his brother. He won't get close to anyone since Sophie broke his heart. She's back in town and he wants her. The sex they have is off the charts. But he's holding back scared he'll hurt her.
Will he go all in and admit she's the one for him?
But will she want the type if relationship he wants to give her?
Will they get their HEA or has 7 years apart done too much damage?
At the end of the book you get a teaser from All of You (Jax & Sky's story) Coming May 2017...Which I can't wait to read.

I received this book as an ARC. All of Me.
Sophie a beautiful young woman; whose a dancer; who has now reached her prime at 25 and moved back to Naugatuck.
Liam a handsome, alpha, and dominant (he has darkness in him) firefighter who loves his job, family and friends....
Seven years ago Liam and Sophie had a summer love but she left to pursue her dance career and left Liam behind.. Now seven years later; she's back and she's up in the air about what to do with herself and life. She reminisces about Liam and the great summer she had and wondered where he was, what he's doing, martial status and she had her regret leaving back than. She decides to open a dance studio which becomes a project cause it's an historic building. A whole lot too do.... Safety inspection comes about and look who she sees again face to face Liam Connolly. Liam, seven years ago she broke my heart and now she's back and I don't know how to handle it. I have a dark side and I don't want to hurt her. My dominant side wants to punish her and pleasure her but I'll only hurt her, she doesn't need someone like me. So Liam decides to back off but in a bad way.
At a powerful moment their connection is off the charts, they share a kiss with an explosive force. This is where things change for Liam and Sophie.
I was captivated from the very beginning in Sophie and Liam's story. This second chance romance was absolutely fabulous. Loved that the characters were fully developed and some secondary characters were awesome. This book has all the emtions like, lust, love, family, friends, happiness, sadness, anger, angst, humor, hot and sexy scenes and whole lot more.... definitely at 5 star read.... highly recommend!!!

I was excited to get more of Liam after meeting him as Chase's childhood friend in In Deep. He really caught my eye in that book I felt he had a story to tell. Second chances at first love, Liam and Sophie got torn apart yet the feelings still linger.
Sophie dated Liam and had a falling out now but lots of unsettled feelings remain. After her ballet career ended, she is back in Naugatuck, a bit lost and still unsure of her life now. She's always followed what was expected of her until she one day she didn't know what her true self felt. I liked that she knew it was time for a change, in her family life and what she wanted for herself. Liam has always lived on the island, good guy, fireman dependable. He has many aspects his darker side What we people don't realize he carries painful scars from the accident years ago. The one that involved 3 other good friends. His anger and despair made him turned into a darker side of him that he hides. I found that aspect his personality something unexpected, I don't quite get the contradiction in him but that's what makes him tick. That accident really affected people more than they realized.
Liam and Sophie came together easier than they fell apart over distance and years. The chemistry between them is now more sizzling and can't be denied along the memories of their time together. The connection still runs strong. They might be different people now but together they still have that spark that turns into a fire. I liked them together like that drink just the right amount of zing yet smooth to taste. I feel that they have a lot of pent up emotions to go through before anything else.
SPOILER ALERT: There's some light BDSM elements in this. I personally was surprised with the turn took it in stride but may not be for all. I'm not a huge fan of this angle but I can see how it plays a part needed adding dimension and complexity to the story. It also plays a role in Sophie and Liam's relationship and a obstacle they need to deal with among other things.
I enjoyed this book even with my own misgivings. I was more frustrated with the hero's indecision (gasp that rarely happens) in some parts. Glad he got his head out of his ass. Callie Harper's writing is engaging as always, her characters well written and good storytelling. This story gives more perspective to the accident from before so it has emotions tied to that. The secondary characters were great additions to Liam and Sophie's book. I am looking forward to Ian and Jax's story it will be a interesting for sure. Getting to see a little more of Jax here piques my interest and we get a tiny preview of him at the end.

Sophie and Liam first meet and fall in love when they are teenagers and spend a glorious summer of love and laughter together. Despite her feelings for Liam, Sophie is persuaded and convinced by her mother that it would be for the best to leave him and Naugatuck Island behind to pursue a dancing career in the city. Seven years later she's back, having retired from ballet, to consider what the next chapter in her life will be.
After being at everyone's beck and call for years Sophie grows physically and mentally stronger and, after stumbling upon a property for sale, decides to open her own dance studio. This is where she and Liam, now a gorgeous 27 year old firefighter, come face to face again.
The attraction between them is still there and the sexual tension and chemistry is strong but Liam was devastated by Sophie's decision to leave and holds some resentment towards her. He is also keeping a secret from her, hiding a dark side, and all this leaves him conflicted and determined to stay away from her. However, feelings must out and when they share a passionate, lust filled kiss, everything changes.
This is a wonderful story of second chances, full of angst and love, happiness and tears, frustration and satisfaction. The characters are very well written and there are many hot and erotic encounters between them. It was great to have cameo appearances by characters from the previous book in the series but it is absolutely not necessary to have read that to enjoy this one. However, I would encourage you to read In Deep, simply because that is an excellent book too.
All of Me is a 5* read and I can't wait to see what Ms Harper has in store for us next.

Call the fire department. This book is so hot you will go up in flames while reading it. (Fingers crossed you get a firey like Liam to help put you out).
Callie Harper has quickly become one of my favourite authors and book 1 of this series In Deep was my #1 read of 2016 so All of Me had some big shoes to follow and boy did it measure up.
Throughout all of Harper's book I have felt each book has gone deeper into the world of BDSM. In All of Me Harper is not dipping her toe in the water on this subject she dives in head first. Liam has Sophie begging for more and you the reader will be begging Harper for more amazing stories once you finish this.

This book sizzles. As a big Callie Harper fan I was eager to read the next installment of the "All In" series and let me tell you I was not disappointed . The chemistry between Liam and Sophie was brilliant. I loved everything about their story and I'll be anxiously waiting the next book.
February 27, 2017
All of Me is such a wonderful story! Liam and Sophie are vivid, complex and well developed characters.
After a summer together when they were 18 and 20, Sophie and Liam go their separate ways. Sophie moves to New York and becomes a Prima Ballerina. She punishes herself body and soul and is never truly happy. Liam becomes a fireman in his hometown. Seven years later, Sophie returns and their love story continues. They have such passion. Their chemistry and heat sizzle off the page. It felt like with each chapter I got to know them better and better. I liked, understood and cared about them. I rooted for them! I wanted them to find happiness within themselves and with each other because they deserved it!
Callie Harper is such an amazing author. Her writing gets better and better with each story she writes. Her stories have likable characters and you can't wait to read about their journey. They have intense connections, heat that is off the charts and a love that overcomes all obstacles.
I loved All of Me and hated when it ended. I look forward to all of Callie's future stories!

Callie Harper never fails to deliver a good story! I loved this story of Liam and Sophie. Sophie has spent her life pleasing everyone else and doing as she is told. She finally comes back to the island in hopes of figuring out who she is. When she left at 18, she left Liam behind. She thought it was best for everyone. But Liam and her both were devastated. Liam has moved on with his life. Secretly a Dom and firefighter by day. He thinks that Sophie deserves better than his dominant tendencies. Her new project to build a dance studio brings the two of them together. They have to deal with the past to move to the future. It takes some time, but they start to try a relationship. In the end they get their HEA. It was a sweet story of second chances and finding yourself.

Sophie is a ballet Dan we who reached the prime of her career at 25 now that she's back home she wants to give back.
Liam, a firefighter loved so Sophie since they we're young but circumstances tore them apart and led Liam to not commit to another relationship. When he sees that Sophie is back he tries his best to stay away but with the history they have together he may just give in.
We first met Liam in Chase's book, In Deep. I'm excited he got his own story and I'm anxious to read Jax and Ian's stories.

DNF @ 13% It lost me when the guy referred to himself as "Master" and his proclivity for sex clubs. I'm SOO over the BDSM genre. At least hint at that in the synopsis so I don't waste my time. 1.5*unoriginal & boring*stars

Liam and Sophie definitely brought the heat! I loved that they had this second chance at love! Liam and Sophie were the perfect match. So happy that they got their happy ending. ❤️🔥

I love a good second chance love story & All of Me offered everything I come to want & expect from this kind of story. From the very start, you can feel the slow burn simmering as the anticipation builds, causing emotions to flip flop through Liam & Sophie's story.
Having fallen in love one summer, 18 & carefree, they both made promises, made dreams & planned a future together . But life happened, decisions were made & the pair went their separate ways .. 7 years is a long time to have zero contact, but time is irrelevant when your heart still yearns for THE ONE.
Queue Sophie's return the island she has always loved & where Liam calls home. When he finds out about her return, sparks fly right along with the hurt, anger & hate he has held onto for far to long, for leaving him & shattering his heart. As for Sophie, well she isn't the little girl she once was & wont be treated with such contempt, no matter how much she still loves him.
Liam on the outside is carefree, laid back & happy go lucky, but underneath he is dominant, passionate & all alpha - literally. His need to punish Sophie consumes his mind, yet the caring side of him just wants to love her. He is conflicted & unsure which is quite endearing & he tries to come to terms with focusing on a future and not getting stuck in the past .
Sophie is feisty, funny & really gorgeous. Yes she made a mistake leaving 7 years ago & I love how she owns it, but how she also won't be walked all over. She is strong willed & determined & when she sets her mind on what she wants, there's no stopping her. I loved how easily & purely she gives love & my heart hurt when Liam used her for his own gain. But she stayed strong & came into her own which was brilliant to see.
I'm a huge dual POV fan because it always gives me a better insight into the characters & Callie captured that really well. Although chalk & cheese, she actually showed how similar they were in their passion & love for each other & through the plot twists & angst, allowed them to accept the past & focus on a future they thought was lost.
Read this in one sitting, it's a great Sunday afternoon read.

Sophie is a beautiful young woman who is a talented dancer and at 25 yrs. old, has reached her prime in professional dance and has retired and has moved back to Naugatuck. Liam is sexy and dominant firefighter who is there for his family and friends loves with everything that is him yet underneath everything; there is a small core of darkness to him.
Seven years ago Liam and Sophie had a summer fling/love but she had to leave to go back and pursue her dance career and left Liam behind. Now Sophie is back in town and she wonders what Liam is up to, is he married , things like that. Suddenly Liam and Sophie are thrust back into each other’s orbit when Safety inspections come due on Sophie’s dance studio and Liam comes to do them for the fire department.
Liam is still bitter over what happened 7 years before and sees Sophie as the girl who broke his heart and now he sees his dark side that could come out and hurt her. Meanwhile Sophie is just a woman who still has deep feelings for her first love and would like to see where things could go, if Liam would admit they still both have feelings for each other. Oh the sexual tension is so thick between these two, it was literally electric, When they finally come together, the sex is off the chain yummy good!! But still, Liam is holding back on her.
Will Liam finally go all in and admit Sophie’s the one for him? Will Sophie get the type of relationship she wants or will she given in to what Liam wants? Will there be an HEA or has the 7 years apart done far too much damage for these two to find their way home to each other?
This is an emotional story that has angst, passion, joy, despair, heartbreak, happiness, tears, second chances and full of love. I will warn you to keep a box of tissues by your side because this can be a tearjerker but what a great story. Liam and Sophie’s story really captures the heart of what 2nd chances are all about.
My rating: 4.7 stars ****

This was a good read. Liam and Sophie used to date. Then things ended when she left to be a dancer. Both tried to move on but each failed to find happiness. Now Sophie is back and things are complicated with them. Thankfully in the end it all works out and they get their happy ending.

All of Me is the second book in the All In series(In Deep, Chase and Emma's story is also highly recommended) and let me just say that Callie Harper has raised the temperature level a little bit with this one (ok, a LOT!!!) I absolutely LOVED Liam and Sophie and the super HOT chemistry between them...it's a good thing Liam's a firefighter and can put out those flames (eventually ;) )
Liam Connolly and Sophie Douglas fell in love one summer and it changed the course of their lives forever...
Liam is a firefighter on Naugatuck Island and he has never really gotten over Sophie or how she just up and left after the summer they fell in love....but, he's not cut out for love and relationships anyway, right? He's perfectly happy with his one-and-done, no emotions involved interactions....until he runs into Sophie and finds out she's back, to stay!
Sophie loved Liam with all of her 18 year old heart, but when her seemingly cold-hearted mother convinces Sophie that letting Liam go was the best thing she could do for him, she reluctantly left to live her life in New York City as a prima ballerina, never forgetting the love she had shared with Liam and regretting that she'd been forced to leave him behind. But now, she's back and wondering what to do with the rest of her life.
The sizzling hot sex scenes, that get progressively HOTTER as the story unfolds, had me squirming quite a few times (I don't want to give any spoilers so let me just say Liam's got a few surprises in store for Sophie!) All in all this is a sexy, hot 5***** read for me!

Sophie, professional ballet dancer, has just decided to end her career and move home. She is searching for what she wants to do with the rest of her life. Currently, she is helping her mother with her niece while her sister is away getting help. She left seven years ago to pursue her dance career. She left Liam behind and hasn't been able to forget him since. What happens when she runs into Liam? Has he moved on? Does he have his own family now?
Liam, firefighter, carpenter, jack of all trades. When he is not working for the fire department, he makes his living other ways. All his friends from school and the department are settling down, and he finds himself missing something in his life. He never dreams of running into Sophie after not seeing her for seven years? Will he be able to put their past behind him? Will he still feel the pull they had all those years ago?
Liam and Sophie’s attraction is sizzling. They can't be around each other without feeling a pull towards the other. Will Liam introduce Sophie into his world? If he does, will she run and hide or will she want all of him?
All of Me is an amazing story and I did not want to put it down. It is a second chance romance about forgiveness, trust and love. It is told in dual POV and has a HEA.I have a new book boyfriend! I love discovering new to me authors and Callie Harper is one of those. I cannot wait to read more from her! This is a definite must read!

5 All of Me Stars!!! Ugh... Callie has done it again!!!! I've fallen in love with another one of her books!!!
Just when I thought I couldn't love anymore of Callie's books, she throws this one out and once I started reading I was hooked. There was nothing that could take me away from Liam and Sophie's story!! It was pure heat, romance and ugh... you get it! If you know Callie, then you know exactly what you are getting yourself into!
Seriously another great book Callie!!! You have a HUGE fan in me!

This is a serious of case of the book not living up to the blurb or the blurb not living up to the book. Was the story good? Yes. Were the characters well developed? The Hero was, but the Heroine wasn't. I wanted her to be, but the scared/timid vs I'm gonna hold my ground just did not work that well here.
Plus? All the Dom/sub stuff? Totally not my cup of tea and I didn't like it here. I didn't like all the "do you like that?" or all of the "please, more" or the "you know you need this" ... there wasn't even talk of consent. He just assumed. That totally turned me off.
I liked the story all right but was just disappointed in a lot of things that could have been better.

☆☆Reviewed for Hooked On Books ☆ ☆
I gave this book 4 stars!
This was the first book I gave read from this author and I have to say I was impressed with the writting style, the storyline and the emotions that this author brings.
I love how she wrote a little BDSM into the book. Nothing to bad just some light bondage, some rope play and some toys!!! Ladies just be forwarded that the sex scenes get pretty hot, it's a good thing Liam is a fire fighter!!
Sophie is a ballerina and comes from a wealthy family. After seven long years of being in New York she has finally decide she no longer wants to perform. She has decided to go to Nantucket for the summer. She hasn't been back in seven years where she left the man she loves. She has often wondered if Liam still lives on the island and has moved on.
Liam is a hard working man, he is firefighter, carpenter, EMT, does inspections. He life of the party always down for the next party or throw the the next party. He had his heart broken seven years before but he vov he would never let that happen again. When Sophie shows back up in town, will he be able to resist her?
Good book to devour in a couple of hours!

Every book I have read from Callie Harper has been fantastic! All Of Me did not dissapoint! This book made me laugh, swoon and moan! A lot!!! I loved Liam and Sophie! I truly adored this second chance romance! Can't wait to read the next one!

Omg, when I first started reading this book, I felt like I had already read it. I thought, impossible, it's an arc. Then I remembered Chase from In Deep. I loved how I got to visit Chase and Emma in this story about Sophie and Liam. They find love at 18, but the stars weren't aligned for them. Sophie moved to NYC to persue dancing a nd did not return for 7 years. All along neither had stopped thinking about the other. When Sophie returns home and they see e Aaron Chase other it's as though they were never apart. I loved this story. Callie is a very talented writer that pulls you into the story.
