Sometimes you have to lose everything to find your happy ending.Olivia Green had the picture-perfect life. Dating one of the most successful businessmen in New York City, living in a penthouse over Manhattan and a budding career, until one dreadful night when it was all ripped out from under her. If only she’d gone home like she was supposed to, she wouldn’t have known her future fiancé was a … her future fiancé was a two-timing jerk. Now with no choice she is leaving the city to move back in with her parents in the small town of Morgan’s Bay.
Shane McConnell believed he had no family other than his mother, but on her death bed, she revealed the father who died before he was born, came from a large wealthy family. With nothing to lose he sets out to the east end of Long Island to spend a summer with his newly discovered family. What he doesn’t expect is the secrets and lies dating back to long before his father’s death. Nor could he predict the beautiful hot mess he met on the train would find a way into his closed off heart.

Shane had nothing when he came to Morgan’s Bay- no money, no job and no friends. Shane is hoping to find a family when he arrives in Morgan’s Bay. When Olivia and Shane meet they need to decide what is the most important thing that they need to have in their lives. This was a great small-town romance read and can’t wait for the next book in this series to come out.

Book was great. I sure look forward to reading book in print format.
Got to love this author.
I highly recommend this book and will read again in print sometime in the future hopefully.
All Because of You is an easy read with a HEA. Olivia and Shane have very different reasons for ending up in Morgan’s Bay but as they unintentionally begin to lean on each other they forge a connection. I particularly like Olivia who is much stronger than she thinks she is. This is a good book and hopefully the start of a great new series.
I enjoyed this book. The characters are well developed and engaging with undeniable chemistry between the couple which made for a great storyline that kept me turning the pages. Shane and Olivia were brought together by chance will they discover a love through all the secrets and lies?

Great read in which two people facing new realities find love and comfort. I received an ARC copy and am voluntarily leaving a review.
I have read several of Paolo’s books and I have enjoyed most of them. For some reason, I didn’t connect with this one as much as many of the others. Starting out, I was drawn into the story immediately and found myself caught up in Olivia’s escape from the big city to the small town of Morgan’s Bay. I love how she met Shane, reconnected with old friends and started her new job. Somewhere in the middle of the book, things fell apart for me and I lost interest.
I gave this book three stars because I did like it, but it just didn’t grab me. Also, I felt there were a lot of grammatical errors throughout the book that should have been caught by a good editor. One of my favorite moments? I loved the scene where Olivia was talking to her fish. In fact, the more I think about it, Olivia was a great character and I loved witnessing her growth as the story developed.
The first book in the Morgan’s Bay series a well written story that kept me turning pages. Shane McConnell is a man finding out about his past and he is too afraid to let love in, Olivia Green is the woman who comes into his life, they will have a lot to get past before they can be together. I enjoyed seeing this story come together. I want to read the next book. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Olivia thought she had it all: an important job and a boyfriend who has money. But she couldn’t live with a cheater, so she went home to her small town and her parents. Shane had nothing when he came to Morgan’s Bay- no money, no job and no friends. He hoped to find family there. When they meet each must decide what is the most important thing to have in their lives.

This was a good small town romance. It had some big city elements in it. I liked the characters and their inner strengths and weaknesses and how they were showcased. I also liked seeing them overcome them. There was some steam in this book.
I received an ARC of this book and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
The story line was good, the character work was great, and the book had a smooth flow to it. This was a quick, fun read.

What a remarkable story about finding family, oneself, and love after losing everyone. Olivia and Shane met by fate on the train ride to Morgan’s Bay. Neither one knew how their life would impact the other on that fateful day. It was fun watching Olivia grow up and gain strength in who she was and what she really wanted and needed in life.
I enjoyed all of the secrets and trying to figure out how the story would end. This is one of my favorite stories I have read this year and I cannot wait for the next book to be published. I received an advance copy of this book and I willingly chose to write an honest review.
Wonderful! This is a great book in a new series by Theresa Paolo! This has so many layers, all the things I look for in a romance novel and women’s fiction. There is the despicable ex, the family drama, the love and support of family and good friends, the fear of moving forward, of what might happen, the new developing relationship, and so much emotion! I loved it and eagerly await a return to Morgan’s Bay!
Definitely recommend All Because of You, the first in the Morgan’s Bay series. Shane comes to Morgan’s Bay to meet the family he never knew he had. Olivia returns to Morgan’s Bay when the brightness of living in New York City tarnishes, leaving her no choice but to return home. The complexities of families and the secrets they keep is the perfect background for this new series.
This a great story about two people who meet on a train and are drawn to each other immediately. How they support each other through a series of ups and downs with encouragement, caring and falling in love. A great read for anyone who believes in love, family and friends.
