About this ebook

 **From New York Times bestseller Lexi Ryan, ALL OR NOTHING is a short, sexy new adult romance previously published in the ALL I EVER WANTED anthology.**

Winterfest is heating up in Abbott Springs...

As the town’s yearly festival kicks off, cold days turn into steamy nights, new flames will be ignited, and old romances will be rekindled.

After years of placing the wrong bets, all Aubree Baxter ever wanted was someone to take a chance on her. More specifically, she wants golden boy Kennedy Hale, her good friend and unrequited crush. After a seduction attempt gone terribly wrong, she knows pursuing anything more than friendship with Kennedy means sure heartbreak, but the chemistry between them has sizzled for years and won't be denied. Sometimes in love, it has to be ALL OR NOTHING.

Ratings and reviews

After years of living with an absentee Father and a Mother that preferred the bright lights of Hollywood, Aubree comes home to an empty house. She spent her high school years with the Hales and grew closer and closer to Kennedy, but a failed seduction caused her to run away from him and Abbott Springs. Bree is back, just in time for the yearly festival of Winterfest, with an unrequited love for Kennedy and a body full of tats. Kennedy always had a thing for Bree, but the timing was never right for them. He has been patiently waiting for her to stop running, but can he finally stand up to his parents and live the life that he wants and not the one they have envisioned for him all this time? If both of them are worried about ruining their friendship instead of going after what they truly want, they may both lose. Sometimes, you have to take a leap of faith and go for it. Since this is part of an anthology, there are three other authors writing about other characters, so I'm not sure if they will be based in Abbott Springs. There are so many great characters that I would love to see get their own books, so who knows. **Complimentary Copy provided by Author for an honest review.**

This story is the perfect example of why I adore Lexi's books! This book tells us the story of Aubree and Kennedy, long time friends who have begun to see each other in a different light. Each has their own issues, whether it be absent parents or parents who expect too much, and they reunite for a weekend in their hometown for the annual Winterfest. Aubree has a history of running and Kennedy has a tendency to ignore his own dreams to keep the peace with his father. While we can quickly see that each has just what the other needs, watching them sort it out is absolutely delicious. As an added bonus, the supporting characters were wonderful and I can't wait to read more about them. The only problem with this story was that never wanted it to end! Yet another hit for Lexi Ryan - she has yet to disappoint!

Lexi Ryan is an auto-buy for me, and always will be. Why? Because she never disappoints. So very few authors can hook you quick, build a great plot, and give you satisfaction in a novella, and Lexi accomplished all three in All or Nothing. Grab this quick, sexy read!
