This was my favorite book of the series hands down. I love books that have single dads but it was refreshing to read about a single mother. Jason surprised me so much in this story. Out of all the guys in this series I didn’t expect him to fall for a single mother. I don’t think he did as well.
Cassidy Rae is strong and at times a stubborn woman but I don’t blame her one bit. Her daughter Rae is the light of her life. I loved the slow burn between Jason and Cassidy. Especially since Cassidy has a child. I must say the scenes with Jason and Rae warmed my heart as I read.
I honestly expected the story to go one way and the author threw a curveball. For thank I must thank Francisco for going this route. It was refreshing and not predicable and as a reader I truly enjoyed that moment.
I’ve read every book in this series and I’m so sad to see it come an end. Francisco’s writing and storytelling captivated me and I loved going on the emotional journey with all the characters. I felt like I was one of the bunch the whole time I was reading. I’m hoping the author blesses us with a novella in the future as I’m not ready to let them fully go.

Recensione a cura di Ila
“All of you” è il terzo libro della serie “Rebel Desire”. Nei primi due libri abbiamo avuto come protagonisti il cantante del gruppo Cash e il batterista Cole, in questo terzo libro troviamo invece il dolcissimo Jason bassista del gruppo.
Jason conduce una vita serena all’insegna di fama e successo; l’unica cosa che gli manca è una donna al suo fianco con cui condividere il resto della sua vita, quell’amore vero e sincero che hanno trovato tutti i suoi amici, soprattutto dopo la delusione che ha ricevuto dalla sua ex ragazza.
“Tutti i miei amici hanno trovato la loro metà, mentre io ho perso la donna che credevo potesse essere mia”
Cassidy Rae è una giovane madre single costretta a mettere da parte i suoi sogni e i suoi progetti per aiutare i suoi genitori. Lavora duramente per riuscire a dare a sua figlia un futuro migliore. Cassidy è forte e determinata, per lei esiste solo sua figlia Rae.
“Sono stata una madre così a lungo che ho dimenticato come ci si senta a essere una donna. ”
Jason incontra per caso Cassidy nella caffetteria dove lavora; il ragazzo si sente subito attratto da questa ragazza dagli occhi verdi e cerca in tutti i modi di conquistarla. Non riesce ad allontanarsi da lei nemmeno quando scopre che ha una bambina; per Jason inizia un vero e proprio corteggiamento diverso da tutto ciò a cui è sempre stato abituato.
Jason è un ragazzo deciso e determinato: sa cosa vuole e cerca di far capire a Cassidy che può tornare a essere una “donna”, che non è più sola e che può avere tutto dalla vita.
Se gli altri due libri mi erano piaciuti tantissimo, questo l’ho trovato meno coinvolgente rispetto agli altri forse perché meno ricco di colpi di scena. È sicuramente una storia più semplice e dolce che molto probabilmente piacerà a tutte voi. Grazie a uno stile semplice e preciso, l’autrice riesce a far capire appieno i personaggi facendoli apprezzare ancora di più.
Ho amato moltissimo la gentilezza e la dolcezza di Jason; è sempre pronto ad aiutare Cassidy e sua figlia mettendo sempre loro al primo posto. Cassidy è una ragazza che è dovuta crescere troppo in fretta, è una persona determinata, ma anche dolce e altruista. Insieme sono perfetti. La piccola Rae è sicuramente la protagonista indiscussa del libro. A soli sei anni ha una maturità e una forza pazzesca; è un turbine di dolcezza e tenerezza. Una vera e propria forza della natura che vi farà sorridere a amare ancora di più il libro.
Se avete letto gli altri libri dei nostri musicisti preferiti, non potete assolutamente perdere questo!

Jason and Cassidy Rae's story is sweet, sexy and enviable. What's more sexy than a man who falls in love with your child from the get-go? Even though Cassidy Rae had plenty going on in her life, he proved his love by sticking by her side. I really enjoyed this book - didn't take me long to read at all. Great flow and great characters.

As the daughter of a single mother, I fell hard for Cassidy Ray and Jason.
Francisco once again weaves a beautiful tapestry of a story together, showing the hardship of being a single mom and taking a second chance.
Aptly named, All Of You, Jason wants all of Cassidy Rae. His genuine demeanor is refreshing as a Hero.
This has all the makings of a five-star read for me-second chance love story, well written, connections with favorite characters from other books, and a happy ending.

5 Breath-Taking, Heart-Warming, Magical Stars!!!
I was given this book in turn for an honest review.
When Jason spotted Cassidy Rae the connection he felt was undeniable. The heart wants, what the hearts wants, and Jason’s heart wants Cassidy Rae. Can she let him in and believe they have what it takes to be together or will her past catch up with her and tear them apart?
Fabiola Francisco has written a beautiful, captivating, romantic story, one that held my heart hostage from start to finish. All of You is a beautiful, and magical, story. Watching the love and connection they shared unfold was both heart-breaking and breath-taking. I didn’t want this story to end; Jason’s story is one, I couldn’t ever get enough off. I love the spin Fabiola Francisco created with this story, and I hope it gives those in the same situation, hope that things can get better, that fairy tales might just exist.
Jason won my heart over, again and again. He wasn’t judgemental or demanding. He opened his heart to Cassidy Rae and her little girl and wasn’t afraid to do so. His patience, love and understanding for Cassidy Rae and her family went above and beyond. I loved Jason, he gave me all the feels and totally stole my heart, he is without a doubt my favourite member of Rebel Desire.
Cassidy Rae was a strong, compassionate woman, who put the love and care of her family before her own. I really liked her character, and my heart broke for her. To have the strength she did, and still be standing was an inspiration.
One thing that truly stood out for me in this story, was when misunderstandings occurred, both Jason and Cassidy Rae talked; there wasn’t unnecessary drama. This story was perfect from start to finish.
If you enjoy contemporary romances, that captivate you, the Rebel Desire series is for you. Although this book can be read as a standalone, I personally feel to get the full enjoyment from this story, you need to read the series in order; starting with book #1, Lovin’ on You.

It's no secret that I have really enjoyed the Rebel Desire books. It's also no secret that Cole has been my favorite. After reading Cole and Bri's story in Love You Through It I didn't have high expectations for Jason. At that point Cole was it for me. However, Fabiola Francisco did it! I'm so completely in love with Jason Stone.
Jason usually sticks to his no games, no drama plan however after meeting Cassidy Rae by accident that all changes. Jason goes for jog and ends up on a different side of town and stops for a drink in a dirty diner however in that dirty diner is Cassidy Rae. He finds himself returning and trying to win over Cassidy Rae. However, not everything is so simple with her. She is a single mother working daily to make ends meet and help her father care for her ill mother. Meeting a guy is the last thing on Cassidy Rae's mind.
Jason--really shows how great of a guy he is. He quickly falls for Cassidy Rae and her daughter wanting to give them everything he can and that's something we can all admire. He even steps up to help with her ill mother. He'll make your heart melt and you'll be okay with it.
Cassidy Rae--is truly amazing. I loved how Francisco wrote her character. Cassidy Rae is a struggling single mom. A handful of women in her position would see Jason and only she the money signs and a way to get out their current situation but not her. She remains adamant about working and helping out financially and even reminds Jason that he doesn't have to pay for her and her daughter all the time. Her independence and determination is something we can all admire.
The ending will give all the feels and only make you love this couple even more. I loved watching them grow and individuals and as a couple. I loved that Fabiola didn't shy away from showing the insecurities that come along with relationships. I also loved that she always had them talk through their issues instead of just giving up on the one another or the relationship. This book is by far my favorite in the series!

Be prepared to fall in love with everything about this book. All of You will have all of your emotions invested in Jason and Cassidy Rae's love story. It is such a sweet, beautifully crafted, moving story that profoundly grips your heart and soul.
I ADORE the Rebel Desire Crew, definitely a favorite series for me by Francisco! These richly layered characters will be stuck with me forever.
If you need a sweet romance in your life, do yourself a favor and pick up All of You or any of the books in this series. You will not be disappointed.

The thing I love most about Fabiola is her approach to storytelling. It is light, yet deep and vividly painted. It is graceful, yet provocative. It is very easy to read her works and I love that all her books offer the readers with positivity, joy, hope, courage, and all things beautiful -- I swear to heavens.
While I loved the first two books in the Rebel Desire novels, All of You is the one closest to my heart. This story is important to me because of the profound hope it gives. The message is pretty simple – love will always find its way for two people destined to be together, no matter the circumstance of each.
I adore Jason, Cassidy, and Rae-Rae's characters who are each such perfect examples of goodness and bravery.
I applaud every single mother who battle every single adversity that comes with parenting children alone, just so they can give the world to their kids. And I applaud every man who accepts these women with open minds and open hearts and give them the comfort, security, and happiness they deserve.
A beautiful HEA. A definite must-read.

All Of You was such a wonderful, heartwarming story. Cassidy Rae, hardworking, single mom trying to give her daughter, Rae, every opportunity in life.
Jason, a musician and all around great guy. He hasn’t had much luck with love until he meets Cassidy Rae. Then all bets are off!
This was my first book from Ms. Francisco and it won’t be my last.

Oooh Fabiola Francisco did it again!
All Of You is another fantastic book in the Rebel Desire Series and here's my review. ;)
Before I started this book I was already excited to read it because a story about a band member of Rebel Desire and a single mom? Sounds good, right?!
AND OF COURSE IT WAS MORE THAN GOOD!
IT WAS SOOOOOOOO LOVELY AND HEARTWARMING!
I instantly fell in love with Jason & Cassidy Rae! Oooh and her cute daughter Rae as well!
I'm still swooning so hard because this book is nothing too exciting or too dramatic but such a 'feel good book'.
Yes I'd describe All Of You as the ultimate 'FEEL GOOD BOOK'. ♡
The story of Cassidy Rae and Jason is not just love, peace and harmony all the time... but it's the perfect combination of finding true love and how to deal with problems in life.
The chemistry between the characters was definitely appreciable. I felt with Cassidy Rae & Jason all the time because I had some kind of connection to them and that's what I totally love about a really good book. When you're part of the story while you're reading and experiencing the book. ♡
Awwwww and please let me appreciate Jason for a while.
Oh Jason! He's sooo handsome, charming and gorgeous!
And let's NOT forget Cassidy Rae and Rae!
Both are sooooo awesome! I loved that Cassidy Rae is such a strong single mom who does everything for her little girl and Rae is SO CUTE and sassy and awwww!
I LOVED them all soooo much! (I know I said it a few times in my review now but I can't say it often enough!)
Great job Fabiola! Thank you so much for the ARC! ♡♡♡

Cassidy Rae is a single mother, doing her best to provide for her Daughter. Her life is really just a roundabout of struggle, to make ends meet, to care for her daughter and to try to better things for them both and always feels the weight of the world on her shoulders.
Jason is Rebel Desire's Bassist. He's a no games straight up kinda guy. Having split up with his girlfriend after finding out that he was merely being used to further her own career, he's decided that love can't really be trusted.
He and Cassidy meet when he becomes at customer at her diner.
This is a really sweet low drama little love story. Both Cassidy and Jason were apprehensive to face their feelings. But once Jason had met her, he wasn't going to give up, whatever obstacles they had to face. At times I almost found Jason to be just too sweet and accommodating, a felt it was a little over the top. Most of the issues they had to resolve were from Cassidy's side yet i didn't ever feel that she sacrificed anything to make it easier for Jason. Jason most definitely made all the compromises to raise Cassidy's confidence and was the rock she needed. But then who wouldn't love a man who loves their child and wants only the best for them. Little Rae Rae almost stole the show !!! I did enjoy this book, and the author did a good job of getting my emotions rattled on a few occasions lol Most at Cassidy Rae, i really did wanna give her a little shake. A good Steady read .

The thing that always touches me about this authors book is how real they are. The characters are normal everyday people with normal everyday problems. Caz is dealing with being a single parent and has a few surprises of her own that test out a relationship and not real secure in life. Jason is dealing with his own trust issues after his break up. Neither is looking for love but they fit into each others lives (with a lot of work) and hearts before they even realize it. It wasn't a slap of insta-love it was a slow and steady burn and loads of patience. They may have done this dance in reverse but they are doing this dance for life.
I love this author and her easy way. Her stories are always heart felt and emotional. Her characters are the dreams book boyfriends are created from and the women are strong and independent. They love hard and true and they're family so they love all of you.

3.5*
This is the third book in the Rebel Desire series, and can easily be read as a stand-alone or in sequence.
Jason is the bass player of Rebel Desire and the only single member of the band left, but he wants what his friends have — someone to share his life with.
Cassidy Rae is a signal mom, the love for her six year old daughter Rae and raising her alone has always been her sole focus.
Reality of her situation meant she gave up on fairytales a long time ago.
But when Jason walks into her life — the epitome of a southern prince clad in cowboy boots — ready to sweep her off her feet, she struggles to fight it.
A heartwarming story, of a man who simply wants the love of a woman and to make a life with both her and her daughter.
A lovely Southern fairytale, where a happily ever after is more than just a dream, after all you can’t fight the inevitable.
I received an ARC for an honest review.

Oh my this book! This story! I don't even know if I can describe to you how good this story is without spoiling it. Jason is such a sweet man. Jason has been laughing at all his band mates who have slowly become attached to their women. He has been enjoying a relationship of his own but not as serious as the others. When that relationship fails his trust fails too. He isn't sure if a relationship will hold while in the business.
Cassidy Rae is doing all she can to hold it all together. This woman is the definition of strong. She is raising her daughter, taking care of her elderly parents, and working her butt off. I loved Rae, that little girl is full of sunshine and brightened up the book easily.
The chemistry with these two will keep you on the edge until you read the last word. I loved the building of their relationship. My heart sunk when Jason had trouble with his brain and didn't follow his heart. I loved the relationship he built with Rae and how close she became to him during the time of his relationship with her mom.
These two go feet first and try to figure it all out together. Fabiola is a wonderful author and continually gives us a good story that makes our heart beat faster.

This is my first book by Fabiola Francisco and it will not be last!
I really really liked this. I wish I had known about her prior to winning this ARC because I would've read the previous books and loved this ever more. (But lucky for me, I got book 1 for free over the weekend when it was on sale!)
I liked that it was pretty low on drama because sometimes it gets to be a bit much...
This was a sweet story and I look forward to reading it again after I've read the first two in series. (Note: THIS IS A STANDALONE IN THE SERIES, YOU DO NOT NEED TO READ THE OTHER TWO TO READ THIS ONE. I just personally prefer it.)
I fell for Jason pretty early on... it's hard not to, really.
Jason can play my heartstrings better than he can play bass.
I'm a sucker for a single parent story so basically this book was written just for me!

All of You is such a bittersweet read! I am so sad to have to say goodbye to the men of Rebel Desire! It was such a fun journey that we went on with three of the band members to find their happily every after and as a bonus we got to watch Jen and Ryder's relationship develop throughout the series.
Jason, the bass player, was the last man standing, but not by choice. He thought that he had found the one that didn't want him for his fame and status, and then that evil witch of a woman showed her true colors. We can't be too upset by this though, because if it wasn't for her he never would Cassidy Rae and her sweet daughter!
Cassidy Rae was a jaded single mom (shout out!) My situation with is nearly identical too to Cassidy's except my home life is very different, but the circumstances surrounding her daughter. Same. So much the same. I'll admit to you right now, that made it difficult to read at times. It was too real for me, it kind of hurt in a real way that I haven't really dealt with in other single mom romances. That said, I simply loved watching Jason patiently knock down her walls and the way he treated her and her daughter Rae with so much love just made me swoon.
"Before you know what's happened, I'll have you believing in fairytales."
As much as I loved the the sweet slow burning romance between Cassidy Rae and Jason, the bond that Jason and Rae developed was something else entirely had hearts in my eyes and butterflies dancing in my belly.
And of course All of You wouldn't be a Fabiola novel if there wasn't a healthy dose of reality thrown in! If this is your first novel by her, just be prepared real and authentic writing that is very true to life.
All of You is a must read for all lovers of forehead kisses and men willing to go the distance for the woman they love!

Soooooo sweet!!! This was my first read by Fabiola Francisco and I absolutely loved it. All of You was such a heartfelt read between a guy looking for a forever love and a single mother singularly focused on raising her daughter. I loved the way Jason cared for and fell in love with both girls at the same time. And Rae, she was the cutest.

It was such a Beautiful, Heartfelt, Well written book that I loved so much. As this is My first book by Fabiola , I can't wait to go back and read the others. Cassidy & Jason's story just flowed so well that it was a real page turner. Thank you again Fabiola ❤

Another beautifully written story by Fabiola. I’ve yet to pick up one of her books and not be fully invested in her characters or their struggles. Jason and Cassidy Rae are no exception.
I do have to say that this story from Jason’s POV seemed a little “insta”, but I was happy with Cassidy Rae being a touch more cautious since she is a single mother. But then I thought back; most people would think my husband and I are “insta” too and here we are 18 years later. When you meet your person you hang on tight no matter the storm coming.
Their story is more than a single-mom-meets-country-star. This story is full of struggle, heartache, hardships and challenges, but never once could you feel nothing but love intertwined between Cassidy Rae and her family, and that includes Jason. We also get a quick look at some olds friends in this story. Loved every moment in this book.

“Now, I see that I can have more. He’s taught me that.”
Another sweet, heartwarming story from Fabiola. What’s sexier than a man that loves and cares for a child that isn’t his? Such a great story.

~ 5 ++ STARS~
This is the second book I have read by Fabiola Francisco, and let me tell you, this woman knows how to write a romance that will melt your heart.
Jason is back from touring, and not exactly in a great place. He just found out the woman he thought he was going to have a future with wasn’t who he thought she was. He has some trust issues, but that kind of becomes irrelevant when he walks into a diner and sees Cassidy Rae.
Cassidy Rae is a single mother working hard to make ends meet and to raise her daughter. Her mother is ill, and she also tries to send home what she can to her father. She also has trust issues and is NOT impressed with Jason. Yes, she knows of his fame, but she doesn’t let that influence her. Yes, he is a very handsome man, but she can’t let that sway her either. She has no clue Jason has determined that he wants her to be his, and he wants to be hers. He will definitely work hard to win her trust and eventually, hopefully her love.
Cassidy Rae is an amazing woman! She hasn’t had the best luck in life, but she never let the bad stuff mire her down. In fact, even before Jason entered her life, and she was a working mother trying to make her and Rae’s lives better, she considered herself blessed with the gift of her sweet daughter. She appreciated every single minute with her. She was also very protective, not wanting Rae to get too attached to Jason at first. His life was so different than theirs. However, she also showed Jason what love really was. She loved him for who he was as a man, not who he was as a celebrity. She showed him that love will always conquer fear and doubt. She knew life never goes according to a plan, it’s unpredictable. She taught him that it is okay as long as they did it together. As he said, “Cassidy Rae is my compass.”
Who wouldn’t fall for Jason? He is different from most rock stars in the romance genre. He doesn’t sleep around, and he actually wants a relationship. In the beginning of the book, he was actually hurt by his ex, Christie, and her agenda. He was looking forward to a life with her. Fortunately, she messed up, and he walked into that diner and saw Cassidy Rae. Not only did he fall for her, but he fell for Rae as well! This guy spent hours talking to a child for hours, and he loved it!!! Who wouldn’t fall for a guy like that? He is protective of both of them, and he wants to take care of them despite Cassidy Rae’s objection of that! He is just an all-around wonderful man!!!
I can’t leave out my sweet, Rae. She is so sweet and intelligent. She knew Jason was right for her and her mother even if Cassidy Rae didn’t. She had Jason wrapped around her little finger. I liked that she was included as much as she was. It made the story very realistic!
If you love a romance that is sweet with some truly magical fairy tale moments…he did walk into a diner and set the course to completely sweep Cassidy Rae and her daughter off their feet, this book is for you! It is heartwarming with some really tender, sweet moments!!! Loved it!!!!

Cassidy Rae is a hard working single mom of an adorable 6 year old. While she never meant to get pregnant with a one night stand, she can’t deny that her daughter Rae is the best thing that ever happened to her, even if finances are tight. The little girl is a ray of sunshine to everyone she meets. Between work and parenting, Cassidy Rae has no time for anything else in her life . . .least of all a relationship.
Jason, bass player for Rebel Desire, is tired of living life alone. He wants what the rest of his bandmates have found . . .unfortunately the woman he thought he had found it with turned out to be a liar using him for his music connections. Needing to relieve some stress, he takes a jog and somehow ends up farther than expected and in a different area of town than where he lives. It must have been fate, however, because from the moment he walks into that diner and spots Cassidy Rae, he’s done for.
Cassidy Rae is definitely attracted to Jason, but how can she trust someone like him to really be interested in her . . .especially for the long haul. Jason is all in, and meeting Rae has him wanting the whole fairy tale he didn’t even know he was missing. While he’s won Rae over, now he just needs to convince her mother that he can give her the fairy tale she’s been looking for for both her and Rae if she can only trust in him.
All of You was a gorgeous story. Cassidy Rae is such a strong female whose main priority is her child and her family. She’s raising a child on her own and still helping to support her father take care of her mother, who is suffering from advanced alzheimer's. She’s doing everything she can to make her child happy and give her a step up in life. When Jason appears, it throws her entire world for a wonderful loop.
Jason was born to be a family man. He never falters or wavers in his feelings for Cassidy Rae or Rae, no matter what obstacles are thrown their way. I also loved that while he has the money to do whatever he wants, he never thrust that upon Cassidy Rae, he only loved and supported her need and desire to provide for her own child. His relationship with Rae was amazing! He stepped right in and filled a role she had never had before in her life. He also worked hard at making Cassidy Rae remember what it is to be a woman, and not just a mother again.
There are some really beautiful moments in this book having to do with not only Jason, Cassidy Rae and Rae, but also with her parents as they all deal with her mother’s illness. This book will bring tears and smiles and a few moments of anxiety waiting to see if Jason really is everything he wants to be and whether life will somehow get in the way of what is truly an epic couple.
While this is book three in the series, it is the first I read and I had no problem jumping right in, although now I want to take a step back and start the series from the beginning. Jump right in and enjoy the beauty that is All of You. 4.5 Stars.

The brilliant Fabiola Francisco has penned another amazingly sweet story that I couldn't get enough of with All of You. It's about a struggling single mother, Cassidy Rae, and a famous musician who wants a happily ever after, Jason. He's the bassist for the famous group, Rebel Desire, and has watched his band mates find love, but somehow missed the boat so far, and gasp, he's not a manwhore. Nope, Jason's a big hearted man who wants the whole white picket fence, family thing, but isn't found it yet. It takes being screwed over by a woman that has him jogging to the bad part of town when he comes face to face with Cassidy Rae at a diner that he stops at. Cassidy Rae, aka Caz, is just trying to make her daughters life the best she can make it, so there's no room for dating, and she's not a girl who expects the rich bassist to take care of them. So Jason has his work cut out for him to convince Caz to give him a chance. This story was absolutely sweet, as Jason was amazing! And Caz was a strong heroine, albeit very stubborn, which is something that drove me crazy at times. The cast of secondaries really added to the mix, mainly a tiny human named Rae, whose cuteness who had my heart exploding, plus kept me laughing! Finally a big twist came out of left field, and not in a bad way, just a surprising way, so it was the perfect heart warming read! I LOVE & CRAVE this author's work, and hope there is more in this series! HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

I'm honestly not sure how I lived so long without this series. Music is my love language, and I always jump at any and every opportunity to read something where it's incorporated into the story like this. Somehow, though, I didn't start this series until I heard this one was coming out, and I'm so glad I did. Admittedly, I've loved the previous books, but this one is by far my favorite of the series. To be honest, I'm probably a little biased here. I happen to be a single mom with a kid about the same age as Rae, so I'm partial to stories where single moms get to find love, too. I was kind of primed to love this one. What really made this book sparkle, though, is how incredibly real it is. A lot of stories involving single parents shy away from the parts that hurt, and those are the parts that really matter! So many times while reading this one, I found myself fist pumping, sobbing, or shouting out praise because I know those feelings. I know the things Cassidy Rae is thinking and dealing with, and Fabiola is so honest about them. I'm not sure I've ever appreciated a love story as much as this one if only because all of the pieces come into place and the whole story feels tangible, like it could be happening right down the street. This is a beautiful story and I love it more than I can possibly explain. This book and this series will be on my favorites list for a very long time. Five stars, only because I can't actually offer more!

Gah. This series is sickening sweet. And All of You, the third in the Fabiola Franciscos Rebel Desire is probably the sweetest. Like, I just ate an entire bag of red gummy bears sweet. Simply heartwarming to the extreme. Jason and Cassidy Rae are a country fairytale. Jason being the bassist in a famous country band, and Cassidy a single mother working at a diner to make ends meet for her daughter Rae.
"You two have become my world," he confesses. I release his hands and cup his face. My lips brush against his. "And you've opened ours."
I loved Jason. He was honest with his intentions, persistent and patient, while trying to win over Cassidy. Cassidy is closed off to protect her daughter, but struggling. Their pull towards one another was eclectic. The feels from this one are intense. But it wasn't 'intense' that it lead to a difficult read. Fabiola produced a easy-to-read, heartwarming and emotional love story. Watching them grow individually and as a couple will give you hope in finding love after heartbreak, and finding love when your heart is in a steel cage guarded by a million snakes. (Because EEK SNEKS). The feels. Its good guys. My little black heart had a glimpse os sunshine as I read this entire series.

This is the 3rd book in the Rebel Desire Series, with this being Jason and Cassidy Rae's story. What a beautiful and emotionally touching story. Cassidy Rae is a young single, hardworking mother who wants to give her little girl everything in life but she struggles hard to make it. Jason is a musician – for he is Rebel Desire's Bassist. He is a great guy yet his love life hasn’t been the greatest until he meets Cassidy Rae. He and Cassidy meet when he became at customer at her diner. Neither is looking for love but they fit into each other’s lives and hearts before they both realize it. Their love was a slow burn, not insta-love; the chemistry was simmering and sizzling which I loved. The author wrote their love story with such realism, heart and touching passion. I adore Jason, Cassidy, and Rae—they will touch your heart and you will root for them to get their HEA. The ending was phenomenal and amazing. Jason and Cassidy are the couple to focus on and to root for in this book. Their story had me hooked from the start and by the time the book was over, I had gone thru some tissues. That is the mark of a great story is the tissue count --- Ms. Francisco did an truly amazing job with her writing . I felt like the characters were people I knew personally, like family or close friends. This is such a beautiful story, I hated for the book to end. I adore the Rebel Desire series and hope there are more books to come.
My Rating: 4.7 stars *****
“I received an advanced copy of this book from the author at no cost to me."

All of You by Fabiola Francisco
“The last man standing,4 stars”
Jason is the last solo man of Rebel Desires and he’s feeling the heat. He wants the happily ever after like his friends but it seems there is no happily ever after in sight for him. Until he stumbles upon a truck stop diner and finds a surprise waiting for him on the inside. He wasn’t expecting to meet Cassidy Rae and he sure wasn’t expecting to fall for a woman with a daughter. But here he is living the dream, making music, and finding love. Only question is will a ghost from her past put a stop to the good life?
I enjoyed All of You. It was a good what I’m assuming is an end to a series. I liked how the same people stayed present throughout the series and the band helped each other along the way. For me it was fun watching them go from a bar band to selling out stadiums. There were little things I didn’t like the name dropping of current country singers throughout the whole series that never changed.
