Reagan Campbell has planned the perfect wedding for her brother in Florida. The problem is that she did not leave with them she decided to leave latter by herself. Now at the airport waiting she just so happens to fun into her high school boyfriend.
Zach Anderson has not seen or spoken to Regan since after the night in the closet and then when a friend tried to go to her father and talk him out of money yet the father believed it was Zach’s idea and threatened him and Zach’s father. Now seeing her for the first time in years he finds himself still attracted to her. What she does not know is that he has been hired to take photos of her brother’s wedding for a rag magazine and if her father is having an affair.
Really though the story begins when they have to debark from the plane in Louisville. It is here that she not only has her lounge lost but finds out that she left her wallet on the plane. Having to spend the night with Zach has only heightened her anxiety to a new level. Wait though she is able to go much higher. The next morning when she thinks she will be checking in to board the plane. She can’t no I.D. stepping from the TSA agent she makes the mistake of saying now the wedding will blow up, just explode with her not there. Yes, she gets striped search and not by Zach.
They or Zach rents a car and the trip to Florida is a hoot, and a finding of each other with tattoos, piercings that he has which is a surprise to her and also something nice. People they meet a dog, she works on her fear of heights and yes eventually arrives, even that way is funny. What is not funny is the way Zach is treated and how I was rooting for him and Reagan to be together. Wanting her to stand up to her controlling father. Did not like how he used his own son and then tossed him to the side. Read this fun story to see what happens. Very much worth the read.

I really enjoyed “All I Wanna Do Is You” by Dylann Crush, a funny and sweet story featuring a second chance romance between former high school sweethearts Zach Anderson and Reagan Campbell. Eight years after their breakup, Zach and Reagan run into each other again while waiting for a flight to Miami, and through a series of unfortunate events, they end up taking an epic road trip together from Chicago to the Florida Keys. Over the course of the next few days, Reagan and Zach are faced with just about every travel calamity one could imagine, but still manage to rekindle their old flame along the way. However, obstacles from the past in the form of Reagan’s overbearing father, a conservative senator, are waiting to confront them at their destination, and Zach is hiding some secrets of his own that are sure to cause problems if revealed.

Reagan and Zach made a very likeable couple, and I couldn’t help but root for them to work through all of the problems they faced and find a way to be together. Their relationship development was nicely paced, and their banter as they got to know each other again after so many years apart was quite amusing. I also appreciated that Zach stepped up to help Reagan when he really didn’t have to do so. At first, he tried to convince himself that he was actually seizing an opportunity to help himself, but that idea was quickly abandoned when he realized how much Reagan would be hurt if he followed through with his original plan.

It can’t have been easy for Reagan to grow up as the daughter of a politician with all of the pressure that comes with being in the public eye. It was no surprise to me that she seemed so uptight, lonely, and anxious when she first met Zach again. Her father clearly put his career before his family and expected his children to make sacrifices in their personal lives to support his political career. I loved watching Reagan slowly gain the confidence she needed to stand up to her father and stop letting him dictate how she lived her life. Her relationship with Zach obviously made her very happy, and the senator had no right to expect her to sacrifice it just because Zach didn’t quite fit with the image he wanted to portray.

Overall, “All I Wanna Do Is You” was an enjoyable story and I would recommend it for all fans of contemporary romance and romantic comedy. I look forward to reading more of Dylann Crush’s work in the future.

All I Wanna Do Is You by Dylann Crush is a fun book full of everyday life. It’s a road trip gone wrong. It’s lies and half-truths, and manipulation at its best. It is advertised as a rom-com and it fulfills that promise to the max. Reagan Campbell’s father is a US senator, no more honest than any of them. He has used that fact to manipulate her for years, always reminding her of how it looks and how it will affect HIS career, with never a thought to her. She is at the airport when she hears a voice from the past…Zach Anderson, her high school boyfriend. She hadn’t seen him for years, ever since her dumped her…not even in person. He was on the plane to Miami, too. Was there anything that could make this night go more wrong? Yes, a part that couldn’t be replaced and grounded them in Lexington. Yes, her luggage had gone to Alaska. And more…

All I Wanna Do Is You is fun through and through, from the disastrous road trip to the aftermath of her brother’s wedding. Thank God the wedding itself has been fine. Zach had stepped up and been the replacement photographer after the first one reneged, but they’d made him turn over the SD card before he had even seen he photos…that’s how paranoid they were. She didn’t believe him. One more time, she believed her father, even quit her job to work for him on the Vice Presidential campaign. What a huge mess. She hated it. I loved it. I loved Zach. I loved Reagan. This story made me laugh. I couldn’t put it down. Read it. You will love it.

Second chance romances are my absolute favorites– not because I secretly pine for any of my exes (really, younger me?! What are you thinking?!?!) but because I love the idea that all of our stupid decisions and many, MANY mistakes won’t make us miss our happily-ever-afters. Dylann Crush happens to be another one of my favorites, because she creates the best characters and best dialogue I’ve ever come across. So naturally, I completely ignored my husband and any grownup responsibilities I had for an entire evening so I could get lost in this book.

And just as naturally, I loved it.

Did I love Reagan? I did not. But to me, that’s a sign of a great writer — crafting a character so real that I could be annoyed by her, but still desperate to find out what happens. And even though I wanted to smack her until she loosened up a little, I didn’t HATE Reagan. She loved her family, worked hard, was kind to animals — she just lived a very sheltered life and needed about a million more mojitos and cupcakes to unwind. I was happy to go on this journey with her, to watch her grow and spread her wings.

And Zach? Well, of course I loved Zach. A sexy man with tats and an easygoing attitude, who grabs life by the horns but still has a soft spot for his first love — excuse me while I swoon. He and Reagan were like yin and yang, balancing each other perfectly (and creating plenty of laugh-out-loud moments.)

Chock full of Crush’s trademark wit, humor, and heart, this book is a fun, easy read that will leave you feeling warm and fuzzy– and craving cupcakes.

Reagan is prim, proper, and polite afterall she is the daughter of a prominent Senator and she reflects her father. Zach is none of that, he’s the badboy who broke her teenager heart. A chance encounter at the airport throws these two together again for an epic adventure. Both on their way to Florida, Reagan for her brother’s secret wedding and Zach for a photography job these two push aside their differences to overcome the plane trouble which sets off a series of comical setbacks on their way. The flight turns into a road trip with several bumps along the way and it seems these two still have the same chemistry and more than they did in highschool proving Reagan hasn’t completely lost herself to her family expectations and Zach still has a weakness for her and cupcakes. Dylann’s story will have you laughing, crying, and praying for that happily ever after. Reagan and Zach are such fun characters thatake you feel like you know them and you can’t wait to watch it unfold and cheer them on.

Reagan and Zach were together in High School. Reagan’s father is a Senator, so Zach is not a boy for her… according to her father.
Then they meet at the airport few years later and sparks are there. Will Reagan stop listening to her father and choose happiness?
Loved the story, loved Zach more that Reagan.

Overall a decent second chance/opposites attract romance. Reagan and Zach were secret high school sweethearts when an incident tears them apart. Eight years later, Reagan is at the airport to join her family in Florida for her brothers wedding. Her brother is marrying a male staffer for her conservative Senator father, so if it gets out, it could be politically damaging. When her plane is delayed she sees Zach in the crowded bar, and he offers to let her sit at his table. Zach is now a photographer, working to set up his studio of travel photography. But to pay the bills, he has done some paparazzi work. He had been contracted to get some dirt on Reagan’s father, so when their flight gets cancelled, it is a perfect opportunity to road trip together. Along the way, it becomes less about the job, and more about Reagan. It was a decent story, but there were a few things that kept it from being a great story for me. First, it was very predictable, you could figure out pretty early on exactly what would happen. Second, I wasn’t overly thrilled with Reagan. She is 25 and still cowed by her father. I wasn’t really sure what Zach saw in her. And lastly, I disliked Reagan’s family dynamics. Again, not a bad read, just not my favorite.

I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley for my honest review.

All I Wanna Do Is You by Dylann Crush a deliciously tasty five-star read. Reagan Campbell is someone I didn’t know I would like at the start of this, she has all the makings of a spoiled senator’s daughter, but she turns into so much more. I adored the road trip aspect of the story, from the meeting at the airport this became a funny and romantic story that sucked me in and made me care about Reagan and Zach, each stop along the way just made me laugh even more, this was a great story and an author I haven’t read before but I will be going back to read them again as they make romance funny.

This story trope is usually one if my favorites, forced together on a road trip, but where I would usually be cheering this story on, I found myself hoping it would wrap up. There were parts of this that worked better than others, especially when she loosened up and became more human, but her unnecessary reiteration of her need to get to Miami and that she was a senator’s daughter got old. If I was that guy i would have turned up the music and floored it to Miami as far as l could.
