“It’s just a job, how hard can it be?”I was hired by his father to become his live-in caregiver. It sounded like an easy job. But the day I arrived at his broken-down Scottish castle I started to realize it might not be as easy as I thought. I was not told that I’d be looking after a dark, brooding, rich man mired in a world of pain. I was not told that this man would push all my buttons and test … buttons and test even my strongest limits.
I was not told that he was devastatingly gorgeous with a wickedly, sinful mouth.
I was definitely not told that what I’d end up feeling and what he would propose would drive me wild.
But I’m Annie and this is my new job. And damn it, I’m not going to let anything, even him, that gorgeous, sinful, delicious man, stand in my way.
You believe me? Don’t you?

Solid 4 star read!
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
All I Need was my first book written by Callie Harper, so I had no clue what was coming for me. And it left me now craving to read the other three standalone books in her “All In” series.
Even though Ian & Annie’s story occurs to me like a combination of “Me before you” and “Beauty And the Beast” with a touch of “FSOF” it has it’s own charm and Ian has his very own demons hunting him.
The chemistry between Annie & Ian is great and obvious right from their first encounter. There is no instant love, but attraction. The love growth naturally and steadily through the plot. Both characters are charming in their own ways and it’s easy to grow attached to them, wanting to get them their happy ending they both deserve.
What I really like about this story is the way the characters develop. Annie and Ian are good for each other, bringing out the best in the other or at least the wish to change things, growing. But both are somehow oblivious to this. After the inevitable big crash, which leaves broken hearts chattered on the floor, both are strong enough to go with the right decisions – for themselves and for the other.
All I Need is so well written, that my eyes kept glued to the pages, wanting more.
Thank you Callie for showing us, what real love is about: how to conquer obstacles, fighting our own inner demons becoming the person the other deserves.
All I Need (Ian and Annie) An All In Novel #4 by Callie Harper
What a great story! I loved it. Ian and Annie’s relationship drove me crazy in a good way. I just couldn’t wait for them to get on with it. The anticipation was unbearable, but worth the wait.
This is the second book I read from this Author and can’t wait to read more of her work.
I give All I Need 5 stars for its great story.
I would recommend this book to Adult Romance Fans.
I have to admit, I am a sucker for caregiver takes care of grumpy patient but in the end they fall in love stories. This story did not disappoint. But it was so much more than I expected.
Ian had an accident at a younger age and is bitter. Here comes Annie, his new care taker, to change his world. Of course at first he resists her every way possible. He is mean and she is patient. She definitely has more patience than I would! But how caring, real and true she is starts to melt away the anger. And this job was only supposed to be a 6 month job to help her care for her family. But the future isn’t what either of them planned.
This story was so much fun to read. Readers will fall in love with the chemistry and interaction between these two characters. I also loved the author’s writing style. She had me hooked from page one as she described the castle Ian lives in. I want to to go there!
I recommend this book for anyone who loves a great story. Especially true love and redemption believers.
