This book made me happy all the way! 4 stars
This book made me so happy! I enjoyed it so much, and I smiled so much! Becca had a trauma in her past and asks Owen to help her, and we are off to the races from there. Becca is such a strong, brave woman, and I adored her and felt for her. I loved that Becca and Owen were friends first, and she felt comfortable and safe with Owen from the beginning. Owen was so sweet and gentle with her that it was swoon-worthy! I loved that Becca brought that out in him, and Owen brought out the confidence in Becca. They brought the best out in each other which was beautiful to read. There was little angst which was refreshing – just 2 friends falling in love. If you want a quick, easy, sexy read, then I highly recommend this book!
I received a copy of this ebook from the author for my honest review.
We ALL knew this installment with Owen was going to be fantastic but boy were we wrong it BLEW it out of the rink !! Owen was NOT the one night one and done man we thought he was .. Owen Parrish is what every girl WANTS in a best friend and lover !! But we sometimes don’t always get what we want ..
Becca is Owen’s sisters Best friend so she is off limits as far as Owen is considered.. but when Becca asks him for a favor he doesn’t know how to say no to her ..
This book was written from depth And heart and you will melt right along with the words !! Becca and Owen’s story is one of a kind because Owen know how to handle himself on and off the ice like a PURE gentleman .. despite what he might think of himself !!
Loved it !! Can’t wait for Teddy and Sara !! Hope to see more of Justin and Elise .. we need a wedding !! Lol
Holy Hotness Alert! I was hooked from the beginning. A best friends to lovers trope with plenty of heat and heart, that you wont be able to put down. Get ready to be swept away in a whirlwind romance. It absolutely charmed me.
Owen Parrish is the hot hockey goalie for the Ice Hawks. He is king of hook-ups with a enthusiastic sex life, with a philosophy of one and done. So when his best friend Becca asks for his help to get back into the dating scene, to be her wing man, he is overwhelmed and concerned for her.
Becca is poised, sweet, smart and gorgeous and has been his best friend for four years now. But after experiencing a brutal attack her freshman year in college, she has been broken, unable to overcome her fears of intimacies.
Owen confesses to Becca that he has always been attracted to her but didn’t act on it, because she was friends with his sister. He refuses to be her wing man, because he wants to be the man helping her to overcome her fears. Owen and Becca journey is full of tenderness, thoughtfulness, patience, sweetness, heartache, turmoil, but also plenty of heat and heart.
All The Way is engaging, laugh out loud funny, sweet, tender, steamy, emotional and perfectly romantic, and it delivers a Happy-Ever-After with all the feels. I had been waiting for Owen and Becca’s story and this was just pure perfection.
I received a review copy before release for an honest review.
This was by far my favorite in this series. This is book 2 but it easily stands alone. It stars two besties Becca and Owen. He is a bit of a player and she was assaulted in college and so she is a bit afraid of sex.
But she is lonely and wants to find someone and so she asks Owen if he can help her get comfortable with sex. He wants to help her and so they start a sexual relationship with the goal being her having a real adult relationship with a man.
Once they start getting sexual, they discover how hot they can be together and they slowly fall for the other. This was a wonderful best friends falling for each other story and I truly loved every second of it.
All the Way is the BOOK you need to have in your book life! The passion and chemistry are off the charts. The trust that Becca has with Owen is utterly amazing! The relationship that is built on friendship is beautiful. Owen helping Becca overcome her horrific night, made me fall for our hero of the story. I fell completely in love with All the Way. You guys I need to read this story over and over!!! I cannot get over this story and the way the words capture your heart <3
I love this series and cannot get enough of these sexy hockey players! I loved Playing for Keeps and I am a sucker for a good friends-to-lovers romance so I was itching to get my hands on All The Way. And I was not disappointed. It gave me more than I could have hoped for!
Owen stole my heart from the start and I fell hard and fast for this sexy jock with a heart of gold.
Owen and Becca have some off the charts chemistry that will leave you fanning yourself and you won’t be able to put their story down.
While this one can totally be read as a stand alone, you will love this one so much you will want to go grab book one too! I absolutely cannot wait to see what Ryan brings us next in this series!
Eeek! I have been so excited for Becca and Owen’s story… ok, particularly Owen. I was dying to see him in a real relationship… to see him as a one-woman man. I knew he could do it and I knew he’d be fabulous! These two might have been two of my favorite characters that Kendall Ryan has created recently. Becca is fiercely strong. She’s gone through so much in her life and I could completely understand while Owen would be drawn to her. I felt it while I read Playing for Keeps. There was chemistry there.
As I’ve come to expect from Kendall Ryan, the story was full of amazing characters that I loved! Plus, I got to see Elise and Justin and that itself was a total treat! All the Way seemed a bit hotter than the first book; I know I was left fanning myself a ton! Seriously, I thought I’d fall all over myself for Owen but Becca made my heart grow. The strength she shows is impressive. I just respect that type of character so much! I’m super excited for the next book!!
I received an ARC of this book with the hope that I would leave an Unbiased Opinion. I was not required to leave a review, positive or otherwise, and my opinions are just that… my opinions.
Kendall Ryan is on a winning streak with All the Way (Hot Jocks #2) This is Owen Parrish and Becca’s story. Owen is the brother of Elise Parrish and NHL teammate/best friend of Justin Brady Playing for Keeps (Hot Jocks #1 ). This novel takes place in Seattle. It is suitable for adult readers.
I adored this story. Owen and Becca start out as friends. Becca is Owen’s little sister Elise’s best friend, so Becca was off limits. Owen never thought of Becca as anything else until she approaches him and asks for help getting back into dating. Then his protective streak takes over, and their chemistry is off the charts. Owen is really great with Becca. He helps her overcome a tragedy from her past. He was a serial dater until he helps Becca. He begins to realize he wants more.
Kendall Ryan did a fantastic job with this novel. It was skillfully written and endearing. All the Way can be read as a stand-alone. However, Owen and Becca are in book one a lot, so I do suggest reading it first. Plus, Playing for Keeps was a really great book. I’m looking forward to Teddy and Sara’s story next in Trying to Score (Hot Jocks #3). I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.
Becca is in need of some help. Her life seems put together yet she is struggling to date. Having suffered a traumatic event in college, she can’t seem to push past the fear whenever a guy tries to be intimate. What is a woman to do but look to her sexy best friend, Owen, to help coach her through her fears so she can begin dating. Owen has the sexy hockey player status down pat but seeing his best friend in a new light, he isn’t ready for that. These two were so much fun to experience. They have a natural chemistry which they are both denying. Owen really doesn’t believe he can be a boyfriend but as he helps Becca face her fears, she allows him to view his own life differently. There are so many funny and sexy moments that kept me turning the page, needing more. I voluntarily read an ARC of this book and this is my honest review.
I have been waiting for Owen and Becca’s story since these two characters were first introduced in Playing for Keeps. All the Way can be read of as a standalone, however, the previous book is just as amazing and you get a little introduction to these two characters.
Becca had experienced a traumatic event, but its time for her to get back into the dating game, so who else to help but her best guy friend and someone that she completely trusts. Of course, things don’t always work out how they are planned.
There is no denying that Becca and Owen have chemistry. I loved their friendship, their banter and their overall connection. They can laugh and joke about another and have such a great vibe to their relationship.
Owen is the perfect mix of super protective alpha male but he is also super caring and a teddy bear. How can you not swoon over that. I loved that he really put Becca’s feelings, her emotions and her needs before his. He knew exactly what she needed when it came to his help. Not to mention these two were kindle melting hot!
I’m a sucker for sports romances, especially hockey ones and this is a MUST READ!
Six years ago she was attacked on a dark night and now physical connections with men petrify her.
Her best friend is a player, and extremely confident both in and out of the sack.
One party night, one moment of complete honesty between them, and it’s a proposition that isnt easily forgotten.
Will he help her get over her fears and find confidence or walk away …
A complete and utter heart melting swoontastic read!
I smiled till my face ached, I sighed happily over his kid gloves treatment of her and I knew what was going to happen before it did but that didnt matter.
Owen made my heart sing with joy, hes the perfect man!
Kind, considerate, caring and he can cook too!!!
Becca was so real in her lack of confidence in herself, and I loved watching her blossom into someone who was comfortable in their own skin.
Two beautiful characters that are so sweet you cant help but fall for them.
A perfect read to raise your spirits and make you smile.
I’m loving this series and all the characters in it. I cant wait for the next couple!
Owen and Becca’s story will suck you in from start to finish. Owen is hot as hell and will have you totally swooning. Becca’s past still haunts her, keeping her trapped in her head. Owen being the only man she trust, Becca propositions him to help her get out of the funk she’s stuck in. When these two get together it’s like fireworks on the 4th. I was on the edge of my seat wanting to know what happened next. Owen and Becca are just perfect! Oh what Owen says on that last page….need to see that for sure! Kendall please write and extended epilogueI cant wait for Teddy and Sara’s story!
Another wonderful story from Kendall Ryan. All The Way is the second in the ‘Hot Jocks’ series. The books are standalones although previous characters do turn up here. This was a sweet and sexy story that was well written and with relatable characters. Becca and Owen just made me smile ( and snort laugh- see opening chapters) in this lighthearted friends to lovers story.
It’s fresh, funny and just perfect for a wet weekend read. Grab your copy today.
What a great book! This one definitely had all the feels!
Becca & Owen’s book is such a feel good story. I loved their history & their friendship & they wonderful way they helped support each other.
This series is one of the best by Kendall Ryan each book is better than the other. I have already loved the first one Playing for Keeps, about Elise and Justin, and now we get to know more about Becca (Elise’s best friend) and Owen (Elise’s brother and Justin’s best friend).
These characters were hinted in the previous books: Becca the girl next door with trust issues and Owen the womanizer goalie that was all about parties and hockey. Well… These two are dynamite! Becca is very sweet and had a trauma, now she is trying to put this all behind her and start to date again, she is a very strong girl and overcoming her fears is something very difficult. That is why she feels safe with Owen, her friend above all. Owen is young, one of the best goalies in the hockey league and living the dream. However, when sweet Becca comes to him to help her, he takes the stand and is so loving and dear. Owen step up to the plate and for that he owns by bookheart. He is one of the best male characters in romance right now and this book is a joy to read. The writing is delicate and very respectful to these characters and it has some sexy scenes that are so well written that you will not put it away. This is a must read book! I loved it and you will too!
I cannot tell you how happy Kendall Ryan has made me. She wrote Becca’s character flawlessly. It’s important to make sure that stories are real and relatable even when they are fiction. That people with circumstances are portrayed properly. This story was real. Becca was real. Her circumstances were real. Well done.
What are best friends for if we can’t ask them to help us navigate a serious circumstance in our lives? Becca asked and Owen delivered *swoon* Their story was sweet and poignant, sexy and fun, emotional and moving with a whole lot of heart. Both Becca and Owen were incredible to read, and I was a little sad to see their story end. It went by too quick for me!
Another fabulous book in the Hot Jocks series. Owen and Becca were a fantastic couple. Not sure if it was because they were such great friends or if Owen just finally found the perfect woman for him but these two had phenomenal chemistry. Becca was tired of being afraid of physical contact with a guy and wanted to start dating and she decided Owen was the perfect guy to help her get past what was holding her back. Owen was her best guy friend and he had the experience with women to be the perfect choice for Becca. I don’t think either Owen or Becca expected the explosive chemistry the moment they first kissed. I absolutely loved everything about the journey these two took together, not only did Owen help Becca but it opened up Owen’s eyes to what he wanted too.
I loved seeing Justin and Elise again in this book and a hint of what to expect from Teddy and Sara. This is another great book in a great series. And I can’t wait for the next one! Each one is equally fantastic!
I am so loving this new series by Ms. Ryan!
All The Way is Owen and Becca’s story. Now while each book in this series can be read as a total stand alone, I was fortunate to read Playing for Keeps and you get to see a small glimpse of Owen and Becca. These two characters intrigued me.
This is a true story of patience, friendship and above all else the healing power of love. But not to make it sound too heavy you get the laughs and the swoons you expect from Ms. Ryan.
Becca is trying to still trying to find herself after a horrible incident in her past and with the help of one of her best friends, Owen, they do just that.
Owen, oh my me, this hero is just everything! He is the epitome of patience and giving and just all the goodness! And THEN you add the alpha to him and it just cranks his hotness up to an eleven!
I love this cast of characters, I love the world that Ms. Ryan creates with this series and I cannot wait to read more!!
Kendall Ryan delivers with All The Way! It is a wonderful friends to lovers story, with a side of hockey, that had so many sweet and fun moments as Owen and Becca cross over the invisible line from friends to lovers.
Owen, the known playboy, was just trying to help Becca overcome the violent moment from her past that has held her back from dating, but his attraction and feelings take him totally by surprise. Becca needed a push out of her comfort zone in order to move on with her life, but she needed to have trust in order for that to happen. She had that trust with Owen, but would her heart survive a playboy leading the way?
Owen and Becca have history, familiarity and chemistry, shared moments and trust. All these combined push them into a relationship that neither of them ever expected!
Becca and Owen own it!!! Lana~White Hot Reads
These friends to lovers have scorching hot chemistry you wouldn’t believe. Becca ask Owen to help her out with a little problem and much to Owen’s own ears, he agrees. After agreeing, he realizes that he actually likes and wants to be with her but will their friendship suffer. These two were made for each other.
