So what do you do when the girl you like doesn't notice you? Do you:

A) Go up to her and introduce yourself, maybe ask her out on a date.
B) Maybe you're too shy for the direct approach, so you start by becoming friends with her first. Maybe even get one of your guy friends to tell her you like her. Hey, it's high school, there's no shame in that.
-or do you-
C) Torment her for years because she didn't fall at your feet the first time she saw you.

This is the story of a bully and his victim getting together. I read it because it was short (thank god) and I was curious to see how a bully would get redeemed. Never again will I willingly go into another bully story again. There is no amount of guilt or self-deprecation in the world that would make me root for your HEA.

Now where do I even start? Let's start with the "hero," West.

Instead of going up to the girl he likes and asking her out he decides to fucking bully her. Dates a bitch who also bullies her. Gets his posse to call her names as well. Takes her virginity one drunken night. Goes back to his evil girlfriend and pretends like she doesn't exist the next day.



He goes off to college (still dating evil gf) and there he learns his lesson when a kid hangs himself because of bullies. And only then does West realize he needs to apologize for all the wrong he has done. I'm not saying it's okay to bully if there is a reason behind it, but West has NO reason other than "she doesn't notice me." He's rich. He's hot. He has loving parents. No reason besides his 9-year-old mentality.

So he comes home and decides to apologize and since he has always "loved" the heroine, McKenzie, he also tries to get into her pants. (Again.) He's a changed man. Full of guilt and whatnot.

McKenzie on the other hand...

She sees him again at a party and I wanted her to be like...



...and never give him the time of the day again. But instead she is attracted to him. Goes on a date with him. Cries a little. And jumps into bed with him. And she's not even totally over everything!

I would never ever lust after my bully and I can't see how she can. You cannot erase the past, the best you could hope for is closure and move on with your life. I hate that she didn't date anyone else after him. So he's her one and only.

Okay, so West actually was remorseful and felt bad about the things he said/did, but call me heartless because I still don't think he deserves the girl. I don't believe in second chances. Sure, he felt bad. Great. Go feel bad somewhere else and leave me alone. He could go and drown in his guilt for all I care.

And for a novella they got a more definite HEA than some full length novels out there.

Needless to say, the bully/victim storyline is not for me and I won't be making the same mistake twice.

This was just ok - it frustrated me a little because I think that if McKenzie was so upset why was she with the dude in the first place? I found this a bit annoying actually. I know bullying is a harsh reality and it's something that needs to be stopped but putting that aside McKenzie was annoying and too self righteous. At one point she supposedly accepts his apology, sleeps with him and then turns around and remembers stuff from before and gets angry?! What are u even doing with him then? Don't get me started on West - he bullies a girl he wants to notice him? What is he - seven years old? I failed to connect with the romance as well, maybe because the two MC's annoyed me.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVED, LOVED, LOVED THIS LITTLE GEM OF A STORY SOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!

It was hard to read (considering the subject matter), and so freakin' emotional, but at the same time it was also amazingly sweet and uplifting and hopeful and best of all, smokin' HAWT (thanks to the luscious West Diaz)!!!! *LE SIGH*

3,5Stars

Quite sweet story! I loved the MCs and their besties
So will definitely check out the series
One huge issue - the grammatical faults in the book. Not one but quite a few.
I meant to correct this one ages ago. Valentine actually mailed me letting me know that she went through the edition again- after my complaint- and fixed the faults. She apologized and said that it happened despite paying a professional editor.
Honestly, for that admission and the effort of her I will always buy her books! She obviously cares enough to put a her best product out there!
Another reason to read her books ;)

I thought this was an okay read, nothing special. It kind of felt rushed and like it was missing some things. I felt like McKenzie was too quick to forgive West and to jump in bed with especially with how badly he treated her in the past. I thought that West was never truly sorry for what he did. He felt bad but I never really believed his reasoning for wanting McKenzie to forgive him.

I honestly think that this would have been better had there been more time to develop West and McKenzie's story. It just felt so rushed to me and at times I felt like there were things that I was missing. I would have enjoyed this so much more if we would have been able to see their relationship grow and develop. It just seemed like one moment McKenzie is crying her eyes out over everything and the next scene she's in bed with West. Just seemed rushed.

A short read & a difficult subject. Author made it work. Characters were ok, but couldn't connect thought.

[💋Meme Chanell Book Corner💋 · Rating 5 out of 5]

Being teased in high school is hard, but you keep your head up and keep moving.
West teased McKenzie all through high school he had one night with her then forgot her and went back to his girlfriend telling her about what happened and let her continually harass McKenzie without saying a word. Now years later he realizes what he did was wrong the old girlfriend is out of the picture and he wants to apologize.


I don't blame Mckenzie far making him beg. He claimed he liked her that's why he teased her that is kind of crazy. I could have slapped him for Mckenzie. I mean how old was he he was not two. I liked this story and I don't know if I truly wanted her to forgive West. He was a real jerk, but people do change. Does she forgive West. Will they get an HEA? Does West even deserve her. I give this story four stars and will be reading the rest of the books in this series.

All for You is West and McKenzie's story. When McKenzie moved to town while they were in high school, West was taken aback by her and thought she was beautiful, but when she wouldn't give him the time of day, he didn't know how to handle it. You see, West Diaz was the rich, popular, hot jock that all the girls wanted. When McKenzie would't pay him any attention, he began being mean to her, thinking that would get her attention, but it backfired on him when she didn't want anything to do with him. While West's family was rich, McKenzie's dad owned a lawn service business and just so happened to work for West's family, among many others. McKenzie also helped her dad whenever she could. They were not well off, but worked hard for what they had. This resulted in her being the object of bullying by the popular click at school, who referred to her as lawn girl. One night at a party when they had both had a little to much to drink, West apologized to McKenzie and told her how he really felt, which led to a really passionate night, full of promises...promises that West didn't remember and promises he definitely didn't keep. The bullying accelerated after this happened to a very bad degree. The story begins two years after the above mentioned events happened, and West is home from college for the holidays. He doesn't come home much, mainly because he's ashamed of how he treated McKenzie, yet he can't get her out of his mind. He's determined to make things right and try to win her heart, but will the damage that has been done be irreparable?

This little novella contains a really big story that provides great insight into the problem of bullying, a problem that is far too common, and something that can terribly damage a person emotionally, mentally, and sometimes physically. All for You is written from the perspective of the one doing the bullying, as well as the from the perspective of the one being bullied. It is also a story about the power of forgiveness. Not only does All for You have a good message, it is also very interesting and entertaining in the process. I love McKenzie. She is such a strong character and was a far better person than I think I would be in the same situation. I have to say that I was really disappointed in West when I found out what he had done. I mean he was a total jerk. He did work hard to make up for things and was very persistent and sincere in his apology, and learned a lot about himself, his views, and areas he needed to still work on, especially when you profess to love someone. McKenzie does a lot of growing in this novel also. She stands up for herself, yet takes the high road as she does, instead of being underhanded and dirty about it, like she had been treated. West does redeem himself in a good way before it is all said and done and I did start to like him better, but as I said earlier, McKenzie is a better person than me, because I still would have written him off, even if I did decide to forgive him. West's dad impressed me also and reacted to the news about some things so differently that I thought he would. I was glad to get a glimpse of Parker in this book also. While part of a series, All for You can easily be read as a standalone companion novel. Overall, this is a great story about love, hate, forgiveness, and redemption, and of course some hot romance, and is perfect for the holiday season. Check it out.

All For You..... Marquita Valentine

McKenzie Walsh is a beautiful young woman, working with her Dad in his lawn care business, hoping to take over when her father decides to retire. She loves the work, and has great ideas for the company. She has a best friend, Julie, and a pretty non-existent social life. There is a reason for that. When she was fifteen, starting a new school she became the target of merciless bullying. It began when she was helping her dad at the home of a well to do family with a son she went to school with, West Diaz, whom she had a serious crush on. West was a jock superstar soccer player, and seeing her mowing the lawn started calling her "lawn girl" at school to get her to pay attention to him. The teasing went very wrong. His "crew" was always calling out insults, and actually throwing grass and clumps of dirt at her. The worst was when his girlfriend confronted her in the ladies room, had other girls hold her down and cut off a chunk of her hair. McKenzie was saved by the arrival of a teacher. She was frightened, humiliated, and close to despair. "One of the worst parts of being bullied is feeling ashamed, like it was your fault, like you'd done something to make another person do this to you."
Two years have gone by, and West Diaz is home for Christmas, and has one goal. It's to try and make McKenzie forgive him for making her life a living hell in high school. He is going to Georgetown University, where a bullying incident ended in tragedy, and he can't live with the pain and guilt he feels for what he had done to Mckenzie.

This is an up close and personal look at the heartless act of bullying. McKenzie is a very strong girl/woman who is determined to survive, never even telling her Dad of her misery. West Diaz is a privileged athlete, with a wealthy family, who takes teasing to another level, and watches it get completely out of hand, ultimately giving her the worst betrayal of all.

I enjoyed this novel very much. It was hard to read at times, but I felt so much pride for McKenzie and her fight to put this dark part of her life behind her. I was not sympathetic to West, and I wanted to give him a good shake a few times. Ms. Valentine's characters are always very intriguing, and stir up lots of emotions.
I recommend this book, it's a very enjoyable read, and gave me a new look at the tragedy that can effect our young children. It has to be stopped.

I received this novel from the author for an honest review.

EDITING RANT:
First, there were way too many typos... if it weren’t for those, I’d really be into this series. And be jetting over to download the next book in the series. But, there was even a typo in the preview for book two. There are lots of basic types, grammar, contractions where none are needed (ex. I’ve where it should only say I) the word to misplaced often randomly in sentences, and my favorite, improper use of too or use of to when too should be used. Then, there are the wrong verb tenses.
If this were stream of consciousness writing, I’d understand the typos. But, it’s not.
This would have been a really good story. The tease for book two had me until the typos. If there had only been one or two errors I could have overlooked them, but every time I got started I ran across another, which took away from the story.
This reads like a rough draft. Hopefully, in future editions, these mistakes will be corrected.

REVIEW:
Typos aside, this story addresses an issue very much in the media today: bullying. It tackles how the start soccer player torments a new student because he can’t get her to pay attention to him any other way; Wes even enlists his friends in bullying her. Then, when he finally has her undivided attention, he takes her innocence, makes promises he doesn’t keep then out of embarrassment because he can’t remember most of it, ignores her. He goes back to his on-again, off-again girlfriend, who goes “mean girl” on McKenzie.
He’s back five years after first laying eyes on her to try to make it right, but she’s rightly leery. However, she’s never been able to say no to him. Her body craves him in a way her mind finds appalling. She makes him sweat for a week, pours out the heartbreak he’s caused, the hate/crave he’s instilled, then proves she’s not of the same ilk by refusing to let him continue to make himself vulnerable, bare in the most obvious way, to even things up. She’s above that.
But, he still has his work cut out for him if he expects her true forgiveness and to be part of her life. Just when it seems he’s achieved that, a promise to his ex to pacify their parents comes back to haunt them. Because to McKenzie, it’s simply an echo of the past, a sure sign he hasn’t changed as much as he proclaims.

Mini Review ...

West Diaz who happens to be friends with Parker was an asshole in highschool when it came to McKenzie. He became the biggest bully and got everyone to turn on her.

This was West's biggest regret in life was turning something with beauty into something so ugly. All he wanted was to get Mckenzie's attention but instead of being a gentleman he becomes a douche nozzle. West has a certain group of friends and class where Mckenzie doesn't fit in.

After years of regret West realizes that he has to make right the wrong he created. Once free from the expectations and wants from his family he puts his own needs first and tries to apologize to Mckenzie. He quickly realizes that the damage might be permanemnt but doesn't want to give up so he tries and tries and tries until Mckenzie finally agrees to hang out if he agrees to stop bothering her.

This dinner is a turning point for West but Mckenzie is gun shy and rightly so when it comes to West and his feelings but the heart wants what the heart wants.

A little rocky start and bitch slap to his lousy evil ex and finally West can have what he has always wanted which is McKenzie.

Cute novella within this boys of south series

[Autumn Review · Rating 5 out of 5]

I'm a fan of this series, so it's no surprise that I would like this novella. What did surprise me was how much I fell in hard core love with West! Seriously. For those of you who have read the first two books in the series, West is Cole's brother, Parker's friend. We haven't met West up to this point in the series, but I have a feeling we may get to see him again in Parker's book.

Now, West has a lot to atone for. He wasn't very nice to McKenzie in high school. He really did bully her. He played along with what his friends said about her and even put in a few rumors of his own. The thing is that West always had feelings for her, but instead of owning up to those feelings publicly, he treated her badly and essentially broke her heart. So, when he comes back into town, naturally McKenzie feels conflicted about seeing him again.

West is determined to make things right with McKenzie, but he also wants the chance to win her heart. He's never gotten over his feelings for her, although he knows he may never have the chance to call her his. But, West was persistent in his efforts and eventually the story played out in the way I had hoped. Don't get me wrong, McKenzie made West work for it and it wasn't easy for her to forget the past. This couple was truly great and I hope to see more of them in the future.

Overall, I loved it. I'll even go as far to say that it's my favorite story of the series at this point. AND IT'S ONLY A NOVELLA! Even if you haven't read the series, I'd recommend picking this one up. It can be read as a stand-alone, but I hope it entices you to pick up the rest of this great series as well!

Posted on What I'm Reading


One of the worst things in life is to be a victim of bullying. No one should ever bully anyone, there is no rhyme or reason to do so. So, when I read Marquita Valentine's latest story All for You, it hit very close to home.

Like McKenzie Walsh, I was bullied in high school. When I started reading All for You, I started crying, because I totally understood how McKenzie felt. You never forget your tormentors and what they did. I loved this line:
"One of the worst parts of being bullied is feeling ashamed, like it was your fault, like you'd done something to make another person do this to you. Only I didn't know what I'd done..."
Most victims feel that way. Fortunately, Mckenzie stood strong. Granted her life wasn't easy, but she manage to get on top. However, she never, really got past the hurt from Weston Diaz. He could have prevented the whole situation, but just couldn't at time. Basically, he was a coward and chosen the easy way. It's not easy to chose to do the right thing, so I can understand where he was coming from.

Overall, I loved this story. Not because I could relate to McKenzie, but she was willing to forgive West. I don't know if I could ever forgive a guy who threw me under the bus in high school. However, West did right the wrong. This was an emotional tugging story. Even if you weren't bully, you will feel the pain that Mckenzie went through this story. If you can hold back the tears, you have a heart made of stone, because All For You is a emotionally read.

I was sucked into West and McKenzie's story. I think a lot of people can relate to being bullied. I for one can. I think that is why this novella struck a cord with me. It sucks be tormented in high school. What happened between West and McKenzie only made it worse for her. She was crushed by what he did to her and I don't blame her at all. She had her heart ripped out. I don't think you ever get over that. Then West turns up later in her life and tries to make amends. Old habits die hard and McKenzie is skeptical of West. Especially with Charlie in town too. Will McKenzie be able to forgive and forget? Will she give West another chance?

Things are kind of hot and cold between West and McKenzie. They have a lot of issues to work through and West is willing to bend over backwards to prove he is a better man. That he is sorry for what he did to McKenzie. This is an emotionally charged novella. A lot of hurt, pain, and love in such a short read. I both liked and hated West. For what he did to McKenzie. The novella was in alternating POV's and that made a huge difference. I loved getting both sides of the story. These two also had some hot moments. But, when West goes back to old ways will McKenzie look past them or will she be heartbroken forever?

This was the first book I have read from this author. I intend on buying more of her books after this one. It was such a great read I couldn't put it down. I read it in one evening and am left yearning for more!

[Lynn]

Once again I must disclose that I should have done better homework before purchasing most of these 12 NA's of Christmas novellas. They have been mostly misses for me but I feel like many NA lovers will appreciate them more than I did.

I did like the basic premise of this story. I liked the idea of examining a reformed bully trying to make amends. A bully who actually had fallen for his victim when things got out of hand. I think part of my problem is that it needed a full novel to really buy why McKenzie would fall for West after everything he had done. One big gesture isn't enough for this reader, especially since I believe is smaller day to day things having more meaning than the big gestures that are so popular in books and our culture right now. I would have preferred a more gradual relationship.

Also, we end up with the same complaint I have had about most of these novellas in the 12 NA's of Christmas. They are mostly sex scenes with just a bit of plot. I felt like this novella could have had more substance if it had been taken to a full novel or even reduced the sex and replaced with more building of the relationship. I happen to prefer more romance and character development in my books than sex (especially explicit sex) so it comes down to preferences. I think I just wasn't the right audience.

[The_Book_Queen · Rating 5 out of 5]

Although All For You is a short novella, Marquita Valentine manages to pack a lot in, providing a complete, heart-breaking story about second chances and the effects of bullying. I loved seeing West own up to what he did, loved watching him apologize and beg, wanting nothing more than for McKenzie to be happy. McKenzie was great, a very strong heroine that I connected with. These two belonged together, and their story was well done, both sexy and sweet. Of course, I wanted more, but really it wasn't needed.

Valentine is a truly talented author, and will continue to be at the top of my auto-buy list! Writing both adult and New Adult contemporary romances, her books are not to be missed, including this gem of a novella.


Favorite Quote:

“You don't have to take all of my kisses right now, greedy girl,” he laughs against my cheek. “Save some for later.”

Original review found at http://kristineandterri.blogspot.ca/2...
At only 94 pages Valentine creates a powerful, sexy novella about a subject that I think millions of teens will relate to.
This novella tackles the serious subject of bullying from both sides, the emotional consequences, and the power of forgiveness. Unfortunately this is a topic that way too many high school kids know all too well and will be able to identify with. Valentine does a spectacular job of portraying the emotions of the characters and keeping it real.
McKenzie was teased and bullied in high school for being the new girl and the gardeners daughter. West was one of her biggest tormentors. They share one night together but even though he stops, he does nothing to stop his friends from bullying her. The story begins after high school as West looks for redemption for his unforgivable behaviour from the girl he can't get out of his head.
As with all novellas, this is where I stop so that I don't give anything away. I truly enjoyed this story and my only negative would be that there wasn't enough Christmas.

[Paula Phillips · Rating 4 out of 5]

All through her high school life McKenzie was a victim to bullying by the popular girls , one in particular was West's girlfriend Charlie. Especially after the incident where McKenzie had hooked up with West, only later to be covered in mud and called Lawn Girl as her parent's owned a landscaping/ mowing business. He was her first love and he broke her heart terribly and the bullying was the final straw for McKenzie. Now years later, West is back in town and he has his eyes set on one girl in particular - McKenzie . He needs to apologise for his behaviour and the truth is he never actually stopped loving her. Now though, West must man up and make the decision to finish with Charlie is on/off again girlfriend as if he wants any chance at all with McKenzie , then Charlie hanging around won't help matters. Can West prove to McKenzie he has changed and that she is the one for him and that all he wants for Christmas is Her.

This was a great book. I don't normally like novellas because they leave you hanging, expecting more, but this one delivered. West came back to town for the Christmas holidays, determined to get a second chance with McKenzie. During high school, West and his circle of uppity friends bullied and mocked McKenzie for being a lowly gardener's daughter, calling her lawn girl. They had a close encounter, then he kept on ignoring her. Two years later, he mans up and comes back to apologize, deal with his attraction to her and resolve his guilt. I loved how well constructed this novella was, all the elements of a complete novel are there, all the conflicts are resolved amd the characters amd love plot are done to completion and our satisfaction. McKenzie was a well-balanced young girl who knows what she wants to do in her life. West struggles a bit because he was a self-centered jerk but he was facing up to shortcomings. Watching this process and their love story was a great read.

[Christine Brady · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love their story, only wished it was longer. The subject of bullying is important and horrible and devastating, I could go on. But it's important to recognize that while kids can be cruel, and know I'm not excusing their behavior, most also grow up and feel remorse for their actions. I feel this story touched on that side of bullying. I know a happily ever after is not always the case, but its nice to know that it does happen. Yay to West for acknowledging his wrongs and working to make it right! And standing ovation to Mckenzie for enduring and coming out strong in the end!!! I'm happy she ended up happy!

[Sharon · Rating 4 out of 5]

I received this book free from the author to read and leave an honest review. This is the 4th in the series. This novella was such a true-to-life event. A young man, West, makes fun of the object of his desire, McKenzie, as young men tend to do, to hide his true feelings. A few years later, he comes back to town to confront McKenzie about his feelings, and things progress from there, making this an interesting story. Personally, I would have made West work a lot harder before forgiving him. I do think the story could have been fleshed out a little bit more, but it was good overall.

[Claire (Cem) · Rating 3 out of 5]

I can't figure out what to think about this one. I completely love parts of it, like how McKenzie is so damn strong, and how she's coped with her past, and her ability to grow, move on, and forgive. But other parts...I don't know. I guess West just didn't really work for me. I may have been turned off with him right at the start simply because he was wearing diamond stud earrings. *shrugs* a decent little read, but I've got an overwhelming 'meh' feeling about the romance.

[Heather andrews · Rating 5 out of 5]

West is all sorts of cocky, "god, it's going to be hard keeping my hands off her tonight. "Baby, you won't want me to go home." He's a changed man and I liked the man he's become, "I want to be with you, McKenzie, but I'm not going to force this. You want me, then I'm your man." He draws back a little. "Until then, I'll sit on my side of the car and wait." I love this series and I can't wait for more.

[Aruna Mahadeo · Rating 4 out of 5]

Just don't know

I liked this book. It's more for a younger audience, needs some editing.
It also needed to be written a little more because how does he go from bullying her in high school to begging for forgiveness only for a short time until she decides that she'll forgive him that fast so she can jump into bed with him, date for 2 weeks and they are in love, married in 3 years and happily ever after....

[Rose · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a sweet little Christmas novella with some really good lessons about how bullying can impact the peoples lives. West has it all, but when a new girl in school ignores him he sets about making her life a living hell, along with most of his friends. Several years after high school he goes to McKenzie to try to make amends. Will she listen to him? Will she believe him? You will have to read it to find out, but it's worth the read!!!

[Claire (Jst1MoreChapter) · Rating 4 out of 5]

A nice short read of second chances and forgiveness...
Mac seems like a really nice girl, although I think she's a little quick to forgive West for his horrendous behaviour... and West seems to throw the 'L' word around before he even gets to know her, but, it hits all the right spots for an entertaining New Adult Romance... a nicely written Novella (a few typos near the end) it was short, sweet and funny!
Recommended for ages 18+ due to sexual content ;)

[Christine Frieseke-Miller · Rating 5 out of 5]

West was a popular guy in high school. Mac was the new girl in school who he fell hopelessly in love with, but didn't know how to show it. He bullied her, romanced her and then left her. She was confused and not in a good place. Now 3 years later, he's back and he wants to right his wrongs. This story shows how much bullying can destroy lives and shape who young people become. It has a happy ending. West shows how much he has truly grown up and deserves Mac's love this time.
