Skye Summers: Gainfully employed university grad, cat servant, leftover sushi connoisseur…
Sugar baby falling hard and fast for two men.
Still reeling from her steamy encounter with Finn, Skye has a tidal wave of feelings to decode when the snarky billionaire shows up on her doorstep with a bouquet of chocolate roses. Oh, and a declaration that if she and Cole aren’t a real couple outside of their sugar daddy contract, then Finn is coming after her heart—hard.
And, honestly, Skye doesn’t hate his enthusiasm. In fact, she finds Finn and his wit rather charming.
Her suppressed feelings for sugar daddy Cole, however, refuse to quit. Even if they left things a little awkward after Finn’s party, four years of blossoming love aren’t easy to forget.
But when Cole waltzes into her usual Wednesday evening yoga class, looking gorgeous as ever, Skye finally learns that her feelings might not be so one-sided…
The All In Trilogy is a feel-good erotic romance between three individuals, and is not a love triangle. It contains graphic content and is only appropriate for mature readers. There are no trigger warnings associated with the trilogy, and readers will find a happy ending waiting for them at the end of a long, twisting road.
The All In trilogy is told over three novellas, which should be read in order. FINN (#1) COLE (#2) SKYE (#3)
Liz is a Canadian author who grew up in the Middle East. She has a degree in Bioarchaeology from Western University, and when she isn't writing about her own snarky characters, she is reading about other people’s snarky characters, babying her herb garden, loitering on social media, or taking care of her furbabies.
Liz dabbles in both paranormal and contemporary erotic romance. Her paranormals are usually dark and angsty, and her contemporaries are stress-free smutfests, but you'll find both riddled with feels. Most of all, she loves writing realistic characters in fantastical settings.
While book one brought the hot and steamy instaLUST, book two brought the passion as well. I don't want to say what happens because it will ruin it for you, but what I will say is the story in Cole, picks up a little after where we left off in Finn.
We are once again following Skye on her journey trying to find a job in the art/museum world and navigate a newly complicated love and sex life.
If you're looking for a quick erotic contemporary romance, then this is it. I'm already excited for book three!
Liz Meldon continues turning up the heat with the second installment in the All In Series. But while Finn was funny and sexy, Cole brought angsty feelings to the game.
Right now, my heart is a mess. In just a few pages, Liz Meldon managed to mess with my head and heart. One chapter I was hating Skye, the next I was loving her. And don't make me talk about the twist the author decided to throw my way...
The chemistry between the characters was off the charts, you could feel their sizzling magnetism jumping off the pages of their story. That's why the author did what she did with that twist, but that doesn't mean that I liked it. I'm still thinking about it.
I devoured Cole (not literally, but I wish). And I will definitely be back for more.
*Arc Provided for an exchange for Honest Review" 🔸 Liz Meldon once again delivered us a Sensuous & pleasant experience in Cole 2. This erotic Novella was more loveable than the first one.

The second installment in the ALL IN series, COLE continues where we left off in FINN.
Skye continues her quest in finding a job while struggling to make some sense out of her new and complicated love/sex life. While she has always had feelings for Cole, she can't help her un-denying attraction towards Finn. She knows she can't live without either of them, but she also won't come in between two friends.
Unlike Cole's obliviousness, Finn is empathetic and understands Skye's emotional struggle. They try and come up with a solution because neither wants to give up Skye, their feelings are too deep. They are excited and are about to propose the idea to her, but are they too late? She seems to have come up with her own solution to the problem.
Cole is out now, go read it to find out yourself what happens next. And keep an eye out for the third and final installment, SKYE. I guarantee that it is going to be epic. I can not wait to get my hands on it to continue reading this series because honestly? Finn and Cole have me HOOKED. I am addicted and I need more. I know the struggle Skye is going through! They are both perfect and are just waiting to be devoured! *swoon*
The ALL IN series is the perfect short contemporary erotic romance, the writing is impeccably done, making it a quick and enjoyable read. Eagerly waiting for the third book!
After the events (read: sex party) of Book #1, Skye is torn. She knows she needs to do the right thing, but adulting is hard, y'all, and Meldon's characters are nothing if not realistic, so Skye struggles a lot with the difficult decision she needs to make: who does she want? Sexy, British Finn who she's only just met, or equally sexy and familiar Cole, who she may or may not be in love with but who's so bad at talking about his feelings Skye isn't sure what he wants? There are only two things she knows for sure: she doesn't want to lose either of them, and she doesn't want a love triangle. The sweet girl is too honest and loyal for that, and I love her all the more for it. She dislikes love triangles as much as I do, I think.
While Skye is working up the courage to adult responsibly, Finn and Cole are aware of her struggle (well, Finn is, anyway - as I said, Cole isn't very good with feelings) and come up with their own solution to the problem. Neither of them want to lose Skye, and come up with the perfect plan - now they just need to find a good moment to tell Skye, who has come to her own conclusion while Finn and Cole were talking.
This was an issue that affected them both, and if they didn't sort it out now, their future with Skye was in jeopardy. However, Finn hadn't factored in that matters of the heart were not logical or reasonable.
I can't believe this ended the way it did. I. NEED. MORE! Friends, this series is addictive. The books are so short you can easily squeeze them in, and they're a perfect blend of erotic scenes, strong characters, and page-turning plot.
Cole is out October 2, so mark your calendars and treat yourself!
Soooo sexy... and the anticipation of what is yet to come has me wiggling in my chair. Squeee!
“Cole” picks up after the events of book one, “Finn”, without any great time jump, and you’ll be swooning within pages.
This honestly is the kind of read best experienced, as explanations or vague spoiler-free hints, never really do the book justice.
If you like your romance reads smart, sexy & steamy, and are open being teased & pleased across three short but packed novellas, all building you up to what feels like a deliciously epic conclusion - then start one-clicking these reads now.
LOVED IT!! It's the right balance of relaxing, dreamy, romantic, and hot. The perfect beach read. I don't want to say too much so I wouldn't ruin it for you; but Cole definitely surprised me. Cole and Finn are just too perfect. The wait for SKYE will be torturous.
It's a continuation to book one: Finn. It carries the body of the story and some essential character developments.
I really like Meldon's attention to detail. She describes every single thing to create the scene for you, nothing's left out, and it sometimes really bothers me when some authors don't do that because something always seems missing. She doesn't even bore you with it, which could happen when you get into details (I shouldn't be comparing but I can't help it).
Give it a read and I would really like to know what you think!!
Pre-order is now available. Cole releases on the 2nd of October.

Well, it turns out my feelings didn't change, much. Although Finn is still my favorite of the two, it was nice to see another side of Cole, well at least know how he truly felt. He just seems so cold and indifferent sometimes that I hate him for hurting Skye like that. BUT turns out, he's not so bad, it just seems that that's just who he is and he might be like that for a reason, still unknown. I hope he opens up to Skye in the third installment. It seems like Finn is working more for Cole and Skye's relationship that he is. That better change.
I seriously like Finn so much, he's so sweet and sexy, I just adore him. Plus, he's a good freaking friend, and he deserves Skye's love. Not that Cole doesn't but I don't think he deserves it as much.
He had asked Skye if she believed in love at first sight the first time he showed up at her apartment with edible roses. Naturally, both had laughed the absurd notion off—but, when Finn had thought about it after seeing her last night, love at first sight was the only thing that made sense. “Just know that my offer is genuine,” he told a somewhat skeptical looking Cole, hoping that years of trust and friendship would validate him, “as is my affection for her. I mean, she’s not just a beautiful face with a body designed to be made into marble statues. She’s… challenging. Witty. Bright. Engaging. When you talk to her, she seems to listen and process and respond with thought and care I’ve never experienced before. Most of all, she seems to have no interest in changing me or reining me in. She doesn’t want anything. She makes me work, but not in some childish game for her attention. You know my past relationships. You know they wanted my money, or my family name, or a chance to further their careers.
Can you see why I love him most? You can, right?!
I don't know how to feel about his little idea though, it sounds disturbing if you think of it outside of the fictional world, but if I were Skye I probably would want to keep them both too. I can't wait to see how they're gonna get her back, and I'm also very curious about her reaction to their proposal.
I seriously have no idea how I want this to end, I don't want anyone to get hurt, or friendships to end. The better option would probably be for all 3 of them to remain just friends, but of course that must not be what happens so I'm a bit scared of how it will all end. Ok, now I'm gonna read Skye because I cannot just sit here and keep wondering, I have to find out!
Yet again this author continues to amaze me with this highly delectable erotic romance. I just can't get enough of this series! Even though I am not typically a fan of novellas, there's something about this story that I find so compelling and unable to resist. Quite honestly I had completely devoured this book in just one sitting. Just when I thought I couldn't love this series enough, this book has proven why I love reading this author's books. Cole is a short and irresistible story that will captivate you from the first page to the last. I was very excited to see how this story would unfold after the ending in the first book and I must admit this story didn't disappoint. The All In trilogy keeps getting better and better. In this book, the story picks up right after the events in Finn. In addition, this books gives a better insight and perspective of Cole's character than ever before. He was such an elusive persona in the first book that I was very intrigued in getting his POV especially in regards to his relationship with Skye. I also loved the development of Skye's character in this book. She's is such a lovable heroine that you can't help in falling in love with. Overall, this book was a highly entertaining read that just left me craving for more. Even though the story had ended in a cliffhanger, I'm very excited to see how this author will wrap up this unforgettable love story.
I am so totally all in for this story. I am also so freaked out that she ended the story now. I have to wait an other month to find out what happens. Skye is such a special person. She has been in love with Cole for four years. She never once broke their contract. Then she meets Finn and her life lights up once again. Then as Cole and she are leaving the party she, Cole, and Finn arrive at the same spot and she finds out that Finn and Cole know each other. In fact they are close friends. But this does not end Finns pursuit of Skye. Cole now choses this time to make a move on her after four years. But he doesn't want anything else to change. What, is he deranged? After he adds sex to their four year friendship and doesn't expect anything thing to change, it breaks Skye. So Finn being the grown-up calls Cole to a meeting to clear the air. Now they are both going to work harder to win Skye as she decides to break up with them as she doesn't want to come between the two friends. And all this at the new job on her first day. Hurry up November 1. Don't miss the first and second books in this trilogy. So you will be ready for the (boo-hooo) final book.
After her encounter with Finn, Skye is left reeling not knowing what to do with her herself anymore. A small part of her feels like she cheated on Cole but that man has never given her an inkling that he is interested in her. To top that, Finn appears at her doorstep with proclamations and plans to make her his own.
As much as she likes Finn, her feelings for Cole seem unwavering. She feels awkward in his presence after her secret trysts. But when Cole walks in her yoga class all demanding, hot and bothered, Skye is left to accept the possibility that Cole might feel for her the same way she does for him. Oh what a mess!!
If you thought Finn was hot, then y'all aren't prepared for hot stuff broody billionaire Mr. Cole Daniels. Man, I wasn't expecting his possessive, growly caveman side to hit me in all the right spots. But it did, IT SO DID. I am honestly here like JESUS TAKE THE WHEEL because these two men are making it really hard for me to keep my thoughts clean.
I am voluntarily and honestly writing this review for this book I received through ARC.
The continuation of Skye Summers and he Suger Daddy Cole who she has been with for 4 years. She adored Cole but he never made a move so she thought he didn't care. Meanwhile Finn who she met at a gala where Cole had taken her. Finn who has been chasing her down and even showed up at her house and asked Skye if she was dating and being with Cole. Her answer was very noncommittal since she really didn't know what to think. Finn and Skye had been texting each us furiously.
Skye goes to her yoga class and who showed up but Cole. After the class Cole and Skye go to the beach to talk and wind up in a passionate kiss. Skye and Cole go to his home on the beach where they became quite more intimate. Skye finally tells Cole that she wants more and he thought she meant money. Skye was so upset that she leaves Cole's house. The biggest problem is that he had a hard time communicating with Skye he left her hanging whether or not he had feelings for her.
Finn had gotten to see Skye again after she stumbled out of a bar that was passing. Skye took the ride home and confessed to Finn that she had finally slept with Cole. Finn was really conflicted but didn't want to lose her or his friend Cole. Finn finally knew that he would have to talk to Cole about the situation with Skye. Finally the two of them figured out a solution but the only person they would have to talk to was Skye herself so they went to her new job.

Where to begin....so for the All In Trilogy, book 1 Finn & now book 2 Cole, has been hot, hot, hot and I can't wait for the final book, book 3 Skye. I was intrigued when I read a blurb that this was not a love triangle and after book 1 Finn, I had my doubts. But as usual with the twists & very interesting turns at the end of book 2 Cole, all doubts were erased, it's definitely not a love triangle or Finn vs. Cole. I won't write anything else because I don't do spoilers but with the hot chemistry & sexy, steamy encounters your Kindle may get overheated! I would most definitely recommend Cole and the All In Trilogy and it definitely will be on my read again list! I received an ARC of this book & I am volunteering to leave a review.
Recent grad Skye Summers is hoping that she'll be able to land a job so she can stop taking an allowance from Cole and end their sugar baby/daddy relationship. Skye just adores Cole and wants more from him and even though he finally lets down his guard, he just doesn't seem capable of understanding what she needs. Then there's Finn who makes Skye happy and has stolen a little piece of her heart but she can she take a chance on a playboy? Skye is no closer to choosing between Cole and Finn and takes drastic measures. This story ends on a cliffhanger.
Liz Meldon delivers an interesting, drama-filled and steamy story that will keep you guessing. I can't wait to read Skye, Book 3 of the All In series.
I voluntarily read an advanced reader copy of this book
This second book in the All In trilogy gives us a little more insight on Cole. He's a bit frustrating as he skirts the issue of his feelings for Skye, but he's still an endearing character. Finn, on the other hand, has no problem with what he wants and puts it right out there. Well, until he most needed to. Cole and Skye are just as scorching hot as she and Finn were in the first book, maybe even more and now Skye is torn between what she should do and what she wants to do. With a friend's agreement and both men knowing what they want, all that's left is to convince Skye. I'll be anxiously awaiting that part of this romance. This is a continuing story and I would highly recommend reading the first book, Finn, first, so you don't miss anything.
The first book left poor Skye very confused. Her feelings were strong for Finn but Cole was capturing her attention and he was clear in his interest.
This second book take place shortly after the first and continues to show her struggle. She has a gorgeous man ready to pursue her and it is her old feelings that keep her holding back. It gets complicated when she gets a hint that maybe there is more to her connection to FInn than she thought.
It definitely does not disappoint and I can't wait to see what is next.
The series just gets better and better. You find yourself rooting for everyone. Skye is a recent grad student trying to get her first job at a museum. She has had an arrangement with Cole thru Sugar Daddy's to attend functions as his girlfriend but their relationship has been completely a friend zone even though Skye wants more. She feels guilty about having sex with Finn but he lets her know that he is aware of her relationship with Cole and if it isn't love then he is going to pursue her. Torn between two men, how do you choose. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
Cole can’t hide his agenda anymore after Finn’s entrance in Shye life. Feeling his relationship with the young woman being threatened, the guy makes a move. In the meantime, Skye gets closer to Finn and try to understand what she is going to do with her heart caring for both men. Questions about the depth of her love arise in her mind. She feels torn between her loyalties, her new feelings and fear of the consequences on the friendship between Cole and Finn. The books end on a girl trying to figure a future hollow to her, and two men who agree on one thing: it is not over.
I was SO excited to receive an ARC of COLE during an Instagram giveaway and I'm so happy I didn't have to wait until Oct 2nd to find out what happened to this beloved trio! The follow-up to FINN is just as good--sweet, sexy, and exciting. These novellas are perfect beach reads, or a great in-between read when you're getting over a book hangover. Liz writes relatable characters (even in unrelatable situations!) and compelling stories that leave you on the edge of your seat.
This is an enjoyable light refreshing read. Oh, there is angst, drama and steam but it all seems to flow so smoothly. I like Ms. Meldon’s writing. Nothing is forced or contrived. The direction this story is taking is very appealing. I am intrigued to see how Cole and Finn handle this. Yes, you need to read these in order and they do leave you hanging a little. But, so far it has all been worth it.
Oh My! Now Skye has two sexy men fighting for her love and attention. What will she do? In Book 1 Serena has hidden her love for Cole throughout the 4 years or so she has been in a Sugar Daddy/Baby relationship never knowing how Cole feels about her. Well you definitely find out in this book and it only complicates matters for this trio. I cannot wait to see the conclusion of this series.
I was given an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Fantastic highly recommended must read. Cole, Finn and Skye are skirting all around there attractions to each other but Finn and Cole finally come up with a great solution. I am keeping my fingers crossed that they can all work it out. Fabulous romantic story that has believable interesting characters. Written by a super author. I can’t wait to read the last in the trilogy. This is a voluntary review of an ARC I received.
I reviewed an ARC of this book. I couldn't wait to read Cole and I wasn't disappointed. You finally have Cole pov and how he feels and Finn's pov also. I liked how Finn didn't give up on Skye. I don't want to give too much away. If you like the first book you would definitely love this one. I can't wait for the next one to see how it all comes out.
The only downside to this story is that it is short. I was hoping it would last longer (and yes, there is book 3 of the series, but it is not out yet so). The conversations are witty, characters are interesting, the storyline keeps your turning the pages. Amongst many stories I've read in last few months, I'd way this is one of the most interesting one.
This 2nd book in the All In trilogy did not contain near as many sex scenes as the first book, but it certainly delivered on the emotional complexity of the characters involved in this story, showing that not all MFM menages proceed smoothly. Definitely looking forward to the final chapter in the series to add to my TBR pile. This is a voluntary review of an Advanced Reader Copy of this book.
Cole the Mysterious. Anyone who read the first book in this series (Finn’s viewpoint) has got to have been wondering what he’s about. Now decided. Pure yumminess, great fun - all in a well written plot with well-crafted characters that addictively draw you in. Highly recommended. Now can’t wait for the third leg in this troika, Skye’s book.
I loved this book. It is a quick read but full of detail. I didn't feel like I was missing any information or context in this story. You do need to read the first book to understand how the 3 of them came to interact together... the back story. I really enjoy the interaction between Flynn, Cole and Skye. I can't wait for the final book. I received and read an arc for my voluntarily review.
Skye finally gets a job not the one she wanted be at least it's at a museum. Things get complicated for Skye, Finn and Cole. I really liked how the author wrote about the relationships. It was smooth and easy to read. It was intriguing from page one to the end. It can't wait to find out what happens next.
I have to admit Cole took me by surprise. When I found out that the second erotic novella in the "All In Trilogy" was going to have a lot more insight into Cole's mind, I wasn't too excited. Don't get me wrong, Cole is definitely sexy but when you have Finn standing next to him, there is no comparison.
Or so I thought. Liz Meldon did it again and blew me away. This is the third story of her's that I have had the pleasure of reading. It seems like the more stories I read by Liz, the more I just want to throw all my stars her way! After reading this story I can see why Skye might be confused. Cole definitely has some redeemable sides and even some charming aspects... but by the end of this story I seemed to have fallen farther in love with Finn. The way he handles issues with a thoughtful, calm, "problem solving" attitude is so refreshing. No drama needed from this Sexy billionaire.
So of course after reading this story I had to give it 4.9 Stars. Okay, you might be asking me where the heck did the other part of that star go, well in my personal opinion, I just needed a little more Finn and his decadent chocolate to curb my appetite. But hey, I guess I will get more of him in book three!
