All the Love in the World

by Karina Halle

Christmas. New Year’s Eve. Valentine’s Day. Summer Vacation. Halloween. Pick your holiday and strap yourself in for some epic love stories from your favorite novels by New York Times Bestselling author Karina Halle. This collection of five sexy, funny, thrilling, & emotional stories & novellas bring together some of the most beloved characters from such books and series as The Forbidden Man, The Nordic Royals, Experiment in Terror, Dirty Angels, and The McGregors into one amazing anthology. Each story is all original, never-before published, with each story revolving around a specific holiday. So whether you’re in the Christmas spirit, all loved up with Valentine’s Day, want to be spooked by Halloween, or ring in the New Year, there’s something for everyone. • The Off-Season: Retired captain of Real Madrid Luciano Ribeiro and his fiancée Ruby Turner have recently moved to the remote Portuguese island of Madeira, expecting peace and quiet. With former teammate Alejo Albarado and his wife Thalia showing up alongside their old coach Mateo Casalles and his wife Vera, the island gets turned upside down. Luckily for the men of Real Madrid, it’s nothing they can’t handle. Featuring characters from Love in English, The Forbidden Man, & The One That Got Away. • Christmas with the Cartels: Revered drug lord Javier Bernal thought he’d get to have a nice, quiet Christmas with his wife Luisa and young son Vicente. That is until he’s having a very Scrooge-like visitation from the ghost of Christmas past, making him face all the horrible things he’s done...and the people he's lost. Luckily, Javier is one to roll with the punches, even when a rival cartel threatens to spoil their holiday. Featuring characters from the Dirty Angels Series. • Ghosted: Every day is Halloween for married ghost-hunters Dex and Perry Foray. But this year, that thin veil between the living and the dead is more vulnerable than normal, and it seems a few ghosts have made their way through into the cold, wet streets of Seattle. But what happens when one of the spirits turns out to be a man they thought they’d never see again, a man who crawled straight from Hell. Featuring characters from the Experiment in Terror Series and The Devil's Duology. • A Nordic New Year: King Aksel of Denmark and his wife Queen Aurora are helping Prince Magnus throw an intimate New Year’s Eve party in the rugged mountains of Norway, alongside Prince Viktor, Prince Orlando, and their loved ones. But they get more than they bargained for when they’re snowed in with no end in sight. Featuring characters from The Nordic Royals Series. • Arrow Through the Heart: Being born on Valentine’s Day has always been an annoyance to Lachlan McGregor, never mind the fact that it was the day his mother gave him away to an orphanage. But this year, his brother Brigs, and his cousins Linden, Bram, Keir and Mal have decided on the biggest birthday party, with everyone flying out to be with him in Scotland. But when his estranged mother comes back in his life, it pushes Lachlan to the brink, with only his love Kayla Moore to save him. Featuring characters from The McGregors (The Pact, The Offer, The Play, The Lie, and The Debt). ** these stories feature characters from previous books and series.

I love when authors revisit favorite characters/couples and Karina Halle made me so happy with this anthology! It was fantastic being with some of my favorites again. These types of books are always hard for me to review, but I'll give a few of the highlights from my favorites of the stories/novellas.

Defying the Dust

“I may be a weirdo, Ellie Watt, but from now on I’m your weirdo. You and I, we need to stick together. No one else understands us.”

I think this short story made me happiest of them all. It's been so long since I've read Camden and Ellie's trilogy, but Camden is one of my favorite of all of Karina's characters and I loved getting this from his 13 year old perspective. It shows his first meeting with Ellie and a bit of them getting to know each other. I loved it.

Arrow Through the Heart

'The Play' is my all-time favorite book of Karinas. Nothing has topped Lachlan and Kayla for me, so I was thrilled they got a novella in this anthology. We get a look into Kayla and Lachlan's life, along with many others in this series. It had emotional moments for being so short, but I wouldn't expect less from Kayla and Lachlan. Also- I loved the addition of Blue!

A Wedding Set in the Stars

"Our love is the stars and beyond. It's the universe and galaxies and the endless and eternal.

This was possibly the sweetest and most romantic of them all. Vera and Mateos wedding. Sigh. I loved everything about it.


There were obviously many more great novellas and short stories in this, but those are a few of my favorites. Weddings, babies, celebrations, and all around love. I highly recommend this to all of Halle's fans. You won't be disappointed!

I love revisiting beloved characters from my favorite authors so I was extremely excited when Karina Halle announced a holiday anthology featuring some of my favorite characters from hers. I actually have read only 2 of the stories since I haven't read the other series involved in All the Love in the World but I thoroughly enjoyed the ones I've read. I loved getting more moments with the Madrid team couples and the royal couples. The stories were so sweet, funny and sexy! I highly recommend this anthology to any Karina fan that has enjoyed the love stories involved in this collection!

4 nostalgic stars!

All of my Karina faves together in one book!!!!



This is a fantastic collection of novellas and short stories from Karina Halle that tie into some of her most-loved series.

These stories are definitely not standalones, and will contain spoilers for their series, so read at your own risk! But if, like me, you’re a mad Halle fan, then you will love revisiting these worlds and the characters that we love so much!

HOLIDAY NOVELLAS

A Christmas Cartel
Featuring characters from the Dirty Angels series
POV – Javier from The Artist’s Trilogy and the Dirty Angels series

This is a fun little take on A Christmas Carol as drug lord and Cartel king, Javier Bernal travels away with his family for Christmas, and gets visited by the ghosts of Christmas past, present and future, who show him a very unpleasant vision of himself. It’s brutal, but gives him the push he needs to step up and be a better husband and father to his wife and their young son.

Dark and gritty, but still romantic and sweet, this is a really cute read.

The Off-Season
Featuring characters from Love, in English, The Forbidden Man, & The One That Got Away.
POV - Matteo and Vera from Love, in English

This is a fun little bonus, where we get to see the Real Madrid boys and their girls from Karina’s sports romances come together for Luciano and Ruby’s (from The One that Got Away) wedding. It’s a quick read, but a wonderful chance to catch up with Matteo and Vera, seeing them so very hot for each other and still so much in love.

“Love can bring you to your knees. When your heart decides on what it wants, nothing can stop it. Nothing.”

Arrow Through the Heart
Featuring characters from The McGregors series.
POV - Lachlan and Kayla from The PlayThe Play

This is a sweet but emotional story, where we get to revisit the tragedy of Lachlan’s past and see his wife, Kayla, try to give him a wonderful birthday by inviting his entire family to Scotland for a surprise visit. I loved seeing this group all together (kids in tow), and getting a glimpse into where they are all at. But when Lachlan’s estranged mother shows up, it brings all sorts of demons to the surface for him, allowing Kayla to shine as she goes all out to show her man just how much he is loved.

The way her heart connects to mine is nothing short of a miracle, and the way she stands behind me, beside me, in front of me, all to support me every way she can is remarkable.
I can’t imagine my life without her.

Sweet, sexy, dramatic and emotional, this was a gorgeous little revisit to my favourite couple from the McGregor series. I loved seeing them still together, strong and so very much in love.

Ghosted
Featuring characters from the Experiment in Terror series, Veiled and The Devil's Duology
POV – Dex from Experiment in Terror

Ohhh, I loved this! Being back in the EIT world is what I was most excited about from this anthology, and this story is written entirely from Dex’s POV, which means the whole thing is just gold!

I cannot express my love for this man. Hilariously sarcastic and crude, confident yet emotionally vulnerable, and madly in love with his now-wife, Perry, being back in his unique perspective was just amazing!

This appears to be the beginning of the story that will be told in Came Back Haunted, and I am already hooked! Scary and exciting, and already all kinds of sexy, I can’t wait for more!

A Nordic New Year
Featuring characters from the Nordic Royals series
POV – Aurora and Aksel from A Nordic King, Magnus from The Wild Heir, Stella from The Royal Rogue and Maggie from The Swedish Prince

This is a fun little story where we get to see Prince Magnus of Norway bring all of the Nordic royals together for a child-free couple of nights to celebrate the new year and cut loose where nobody can see them. Alcohol and complete freedom brings about lots of unexpected fun (King Aksel twerking) and sexy times.

Great to catch up with these couples and get a brief look into their lives.


ADDITIONAL SHORT STORIES
Previously released only in anthologies, or for a limited time only.

Dark Paradise
Featuring characters from the Dirty Angels Trilogy
POV – new character, Lani

A woman who feels she has nothing to live for is saved by Esteban Mendoza while in Hawaii. He proceeds to show her that life still has meaning, and just how much living she still has to do.

“Sometimes people come into our lives for just a second, just long enough to let us know that hope exists.”

Sweet, sexy and exciting.

Defying the Dust
Featuring characters from The Artists Trilogy
POV – Camden from The Artists Trilogy

A short story which shows us the first meeting of Camden and Ellie. 13-year-old Camden is fighting to be true to himself and show his individuality in his backwards town, and he’s used to being completely alone… until Ellie moves to town.

“I may be a weirdo, Ellie Watt, but from now on I’m your weirdo. You and I, we need to stick together. No one else understands us.”

That 70’s Interview
Featuring characters from The Devil’s Duology

Interview transcripts – A very surly Sage being interviewed by a radio station, and Dawn interviewing tour manager, Jacob.

Target
Featuring characters from Experiment in Terror
POV – Dex from Experiment in Terror

Set in the middle of the EIT series, when Perry has moved in with a very smitten Dex, the two of them go on an unfortunate shopping trip to the “fluorescent showroom of death”, Target.

Hilarious!

The Baby
Featuring characters from The Pact
POV – Linden from The Pact

This one is so cute! The moments leading up to (and including) the birth of Linden and Stephanie’s first baby.

I know that everything in my life was leading up to this moment. This right here, all of this, is what life is all about, what it’s always been about. And I never knew it until now.

Told with feels, humour, and a little bit of sexy time, this story left me with a huge grin on my face.

A Wedding Set in the Stars
Featuring characters from Love, in English and Where Sea Meets Sky
POV – Vera from Love, in English

The wedding of Vera and Matteo, and OMG, what a swoonfest!

“Mrs. Casalles,” he whispers to me, lips at my ear. “I will love you my Estrella, until the sun burns out and we are the only two left in the sky. And I will love you beyond that. Always and for eternity.”
Fuck.
I am the luckiest woman in the universe.

This one left me feeling all gooey and romantic.


This collection is a must-read for any Halle fan!

4 stars!

This is a series of shorts/novellas of some of your favorite characters. Usually I'm not a big fan of these because either it's been too long since I've read the book or basically, there isn't enough substance. However, I really wanted to read Ghosted and I decided why not read the rest and I was pleasantly surprised.

*Here's a quick overview:*


♦ A Christmas Cartel (Dirty Angels) ~

This is for all the Javier fans and I have to admit that even though I'm not a fan, he did make me laugh and I felt he has softened a little. I also got a kick out of him trying to be a good husband and father. However, I was surprised at his feelings about Ellie.


♦ The Off Season (Real Madrid) ~

I love all the characters of Real Madrid so I got quite the kick of getting updates about all them.

Several of them have traveled to Madeira for Luciano and Ruby's wedding. It was super sweet and romantic.


♦ Arrows Through the Heart (McGregors) ~

Another fav is all the McGregors, this one mainly focusing on Lachlan and Kayla. It really pulled at the heartstrings.


♦ Ghosted (EIT) ~

LOVE Dex and Perry. They are possibly interested in getting back into the paranormal world.

We get to meet Jay who is "friends" with Ada.

It's just enough to whet your appetite for Came Back Haunted.


♦ A Nordic New Year (The Royals) ~

Another fav is all the Nordic men. Magnus invites everyone to celebrate at his cabin. It was funny reading about them all letting loose.


♦ Dark Paradise (Esteban's story) ~

“That’s what hope is. An unfinished painting.”

OMG....hands down this was my favorite and with Esteban of all people!!

He meets Lani in Hawaii where he's on business and she's trying to find her way. He seems to know exactly what she needs.

I loved them together but WTH is up with that ending? That was soooo wrong and SHOCKING! I never saw that coming...EVER!

And holy hell...I have to mention the part with the gun!!! Not sure if it was sexy but definitely crazy af!


♦ Defying the Dust (Camden & Ellie) ~

I love these two but the story? Not so much.

It's basically Camden and Ellie when they first met and it's a little heartbreaking.


♦ That 70's Interview (Sage & Dawn) ~

Basically, just a teaser for Sage and Dawn's books. I haven't read them but I put them on my list.


♦ Target (Dex & Perry) ~

This is all about why Dex hates Target and it's a little bit funny.


♦ The Baby (Steph and Linden) ~

Steph and Linden having a baby. Linden is quite the character in this one.


♦ A Wedding Set in the Stars (Mateo & Vera) ~

Great way to end the book with another one of my favorite couples and to top it off, they are getting married. Mateo is sooo swoony!

Title: All the Love in the World
Author: Karina Halle
Genre: Romance
Type: Anthology



All the Love in the World is a collection of five new Holiday themed novellas or short stories, together with several other new and previously published stories. It would appeal to fans who want something extra from the characters of the author’s past series.

★ The Christmas Cartel ★
Rating: 4 Stars
Original characters: The Artist Trilogy & Dirty Angels series.
Javier Bernal was my first introduction to the author’s work and still by far my most favorite characters of hers. It was nice to meet him again as he struggled to re-evaluate his life. He was darkly amusing and reminded me why I love him in the first place.

★ The Off-Season ★
Rating: 3.5 Stars
Original characters: Love in English, The Forbidden Man, & The One That Got Away.

“Love can bring you to your knees. When your heart decides on what it wants, nothing can stop it. Nothing.”

The men of Real Madrid were back together during the off-season to celebrate Luciano Ribeiro‘s impending wedding. Even though I never read Love in English, I liked Mateo and felt like I know him enough from enough the other two books. This story was very mild old and showed a little glimpse of him and his family.

A Christmas Cartel is the first story in the anthology featuring drug lord Javier Bernal and Luisa from the Dirty Angels Trilogy. Luisa wants a proper Christmas for their son Vicente, because Javier was absent for his first one. It was awesome to be reunited with my favorite couple. I really enjoyed this story and wouldn't have minded it being longer. It showed that Javier was still his dark and ruthless self which I loved. This was a nice Christmas story that also opens up a possibility to a spinoff, which I am praying will happen one day.

The Off-Season features characters from Love in English, The Forbidden Man, & The One That Got Away. The story is told from Mateo and Vera's POV, I haven't read their story yet, but this story definitely intrigued me enough to pick it up soon. It was nice being reunited with other characters I have read and enjoyed before. This was a nice fun short story that fans of these books will enjoy.

Arrow Through the Heart features characters from The McGregor Brothers Series (The Pact, The Offer, The Play, The Lie, and The Debt). The story is told from Lachlan and Kayla POVs. This was a bit more of an emotional read than the previous two stories, but I thought it was a great addition to this anthology. My heart broke for Lachlan when I saw how much it still hurt him when he was confronted with his mom who gave him away. Kayla was just perfect and I loved how caring and supportive she was of Lachlan. It was great seeing all the characters from the series coming together. This short story really makes me want to reread The McGregor Brothers Series.

Ghosted features characters from the Experiment in Terror Series, Veiled and The Devil's Duology. And this story is told from Dex' POV. It was so awesome to be back in this amazing world Karina has created. I was very excited to see what my favorite characters were up to. Even though it has been a couple of years since I have read the EIT series it felt very familiar and it was like being reunited with family. Dex and Perry are such a great couple, and I loved seeing how they were doing. They have fears and doubts about things and I can't wait to see how Karina will explore this more in their upcoming (full-length) book!

A Nordic New Year features characters from The Nordic Royals Series. This was a light, fun and sexy story. All the royals come together to celebrate the new year, and it was awesome seeing them let loose and just enjoy without people judging. The story is told from multiple POVs, which was nice and we were able to see what the characters were up to nowadays.

This is one of my favorite anthologies I've ever read. As a Karina Halle fangirl, it was great to get a story from some of my favorite couples she's written.

Goodness, I only read one of the stories but I loved it sooo much. I never evn read these two's books but I met them in the other books in this world and now reading this story in their pov... I loved it and I definitely want to go and read their story because their love wow, it was beautiful. It was just so amazing to see everyone of the characters and how they are doing and see Luciano and Ruby getting married had me so happy. These two own me. They were so happy, it made my heart warm.

And that little chapter from Mateo and Vera's wedding, dude!!! I need to read their story because their love was just beautiful and Mateo's vows had me melting into a puddle.

There's nothing like visiting with characters you've loved and even falling in love with those you haven't yet. I'm not familiar with all of Karina Halle's stories and the people who populate them, so I was a little worried before I started reading I'd be lost or unable to connect those I didn't know. I was wrong. There were no huge spoilers I could see and it was so easy to follow along.

A few of the stories stood out prominently to me. I'm familiar with Javier and so "A Christmas Cartel" hit me hard. So did "Arrow Through the Heart" featuring the McGregor Clan with it's blood and found family. I also loved visiting the Nordic royals in "A Nordic New Year" and the soccer/football players in "The Off-Season".

Perhaps the biggest surprise for me was "Ghosted". Having not read Karina Halle's Experiment in Terror series, I absolutely loved this novella! Dex is hilarious and such a great narrator. I need to read this series asap!

The short stories are like candy, you can't just have one piece but also they're such a delight! Some are sweet, funny, hot, emotional, or a combination of all the above!

I really love how Karina blended humor and emotion into these treats and balanced them all so well. I can't help but wish the stories were longer because I don't know if I'll ever get enough of Karina's characters and her writing. I will say that not only am I motivated to pick up the books I haven't read, but I really want to re-read those I have, because there's nothing like falling into a good story, again and again.

As a reader I always love to read little snippets about what my favourite characters from books I loved are doing in the future and the wonderful Miss Halle hasn’t just given us one story but an entire anthology of all her series.

This was a real treat and I loved being back in the world of Javier and Luisa, Vera and Mateo ❤️and Kayla and Lachlan and the rest of the gang!!

Thank you Ms Halle!!

Karina Halle brought it with this collection of short stories and novellas. I’ve been missing these characters like crazy and being reunited with them just warmed my heart.

Each story brought the fun and swoony feelings. I was filled with giddiness and just loved getting a peek into the lives of some of my favorite characters.

All the Love in the World anthology was everything I could’ve wanted and more. A heartwarming collection of feel-good goodness that brought the happiness.

[Gina *loves sunshine* · Rating 3 out of 5]

The MacGregor brothers is one of my all time favorite series. With Kayla and Lachlan from The Play being my favorite couple. Karina Halle has a new anthology and one of the novella size stories is about my faves ~Arrow Through the Heart!!!

Sadly, I was a little let down. I thought it was going to be a feel good catch up...but it was actually quite depressing. Maybe others will find the ending good enough to save the whiplash of a story we got? Trying not to spoil it but I kind of wanted a feel good reunion with EVERYONE from the series in town...but it was chaotic and the Mom drama was SAD.

[Georgia ♥ · Rating 5 out of 5]

Ghosted!

Karina strongly suggested reading the "Ghosted" novella featured in this anthology before diving into "Came Back Haunted". So, of course I did!
And well..... That was a hell of a teaser!
Dex, Perry and the whole bang are back, weirder and more dysfunctional than ever. Gosh, I have forgotten how much I love EIT stories...

[Wendy LeGrand · Rating 5 out of 5]

Reading All the Love in the World was like coming home for a family reunion! As a long time reader of Karina's stories, I have been missing some of these characters for a long time, and it was SO great to visit with them again.

Some of the stories are just lightheared and fun, others a bit more emotional, but I loved them all and now I'm craving more of all of them!! Especially Javi and Luisa, and Lachlan and Kayla.

I've been working my way through the EIT books over the years, and reading Ghosted was the shot in the butt I needed to speed up my reading so that I'll be ready when the next full length book releases.

If you're an avid Karina reader, you will love seeing these beloved characters. If you've read some but not all, I think these short stories will help ramp up your excitement to meet those characters up close and personal. It's the perfect time for this to release, with Halloween just days away and then rounding the curve into the Christmas holidays. I know I definitely needed this delightful distraction right about now.

Thank you, Karina, for giving us these awesome glimpses into our favorite character's lives!!

***5 Stars***

This anthology is filled with all kinds of goodness!

I was sold as soon as I saw that Lachlan and Kayla were getting a novella in here, but then I was given time with Javier, Esteban, Magnus and Aksel ~ OMG Aksel ~ and I was a goner.

Such. A. Goner.

If you’re like me and love catching up with what is going in the lives of the characters we meet in books after they get their HEA, or even a secondary character that may never get their own HEA for whatever reason, but you fell in love with ~ then this collection will make you all kinds of happy!

It is suggested that you do read the books/series that these characters are from before diving in because there will be spoilers, and for the most part, I do agree because it makes the experience that much more enjoyable. But there are a couple of stories in here that revolve around characters I haven’t had the pleasure of meeting and I still found them to quite enjoyable.

I rushed to buy this for Ghosted and gobbled it up for the long missed Dex and Perry. How I've missed those two along with the other characters from Experiment in Terror Series, Veiled and The Devil's Duology. This sets up the next (never thought we would ever get) EIT novel which comes out next month. Looks to be some scary stuff - YEAH!!

Spanning characters across all the books and series by Karina Halle this anthology was a delight to read in these trying times! Honestly, I feel that we need books in order to escape and remember that the world can still be a beautiful place!

With signature Karina Halle writing filled with nostalgia and funny moments, you can enjoy all your favorite couples in one delicious read!

Definitely recommended!

All the Love in the word brings small stories that take us to the known characters and we can see a little of how they are after everyone has received their happy endings. It was great to see these characters again

[Jasmine · Rating 4 out of 5]

All I know is it's almost Christmas so I was looking for some possible holiday reading and here I am suddenly getting caught up by one thing, a E.I.T short story!!! No not with the holiday spirit or maybe one of the more bizarre choices for Christmas eve reading but I can't help my love for these characters is deep. So while I love other books in this collection I've so far only read Ghosted, but it gets a 4 start from me it gave me the perfect amount of everything I was missing. I will come back to the other stories here I'm sure I will love going back to these other books too but nothing can top the surprise at the end of reading ghosted!!

I can't believe how out of the loop I've been. Not only did I not know when I started rereading (and then stalled) my 2nd rereading of the E.I.T series that there would be the possibility of getting another book. I'm so happy that means 300+ pages with my favorite ghost hunters ahhhh! I thought after Ada's book that might be it and now to finish rereading this and seeing the new book already came out! Best pre Christmas present ever!! I'm going to order it right away and dive in immediately I'm so beyond excited!

This collection is an amazing treat for fans of Karina Halle’s books and the proof how incredibly talented and versatile she is as an author! This set of short stories is like the blast from the past that allows us to go back to our favorite characters from her various novels and remind us why we love them so much.


The Christmas Cartel took me back to Dirty Angels and I fell in love with Javier all over again. This anti-hero has a special place in my heart and the adventure he experienced in this novella was surprising and enlightening.

The Off-Season got me reacquainted with my favorite Real Madrid players and their significant others to celebrate love. Mateo and Vera upped the heat and the others gave me all the feels and swoons!

Arrow Through the Heart made me all sappy and emotional, because it reminded me what a rollercoaster was Lachlan and Kayla’s story. But it also showed once again that these two are an exceptional couple and their family and friends are amazing people. The reunion with all of McGregors was BRAMTASTIC!

Nordic New Year welcomed me back to Norway so I could chill out with Karina's Royals. I loved to see what's up with all of them and that together they can let loose and have fun just like the rest of the world.

Ghosted is a return to Dex and Perry from Experiment in Terror series. This short story, both creepy and thrilling, is the perfect preview of the upcoming release of Came Back Haunted! I cannot wait to dive back into this world!


In addition to these 5 novellas, All the Love in the World also features some very short stories, surprise scenes and interviews that will entertain, move and bring some sexy times! This anthology is like an early Christmas present and I loved everything it includes! Definitely a must read for fans of Halle’s work!

OMG! Karina Halle has just dropped the surprise of the year. What an awesome gift to her readers! Holiday novellas featuring her most-beloved characters—I have no idea where I’m going to start but I am so excited to read them all.

I eased my way in with a super-short novella of Vera and Mateo’s wedding and I was instantly transported back to Spain and all their love—SWOON! I loved them in Love in English and their wedding story was just perfect.
There are five short stories to enjoy and I’ll review them all as I read.

If you have had your fill of 2020 and this pandemic life, grab your copy of All the Love in the World, pick your favorite couple, and read away. Karina is a master at romance, so beware, sexy, funny, thrilling, & emotional curves ahead!

Karina always has a way of making you feel her characters’ emotions and these short novellas are no different. It was so wonderful to see these past characters living their HEA.

There was excitement, love, suspense, and plenty of hilarious moments. You will get it all when you read through each of these books.

My favorite was getting to see what the beloved Snuff Snuff was up to and that opening scene did not disappoint!
