I want to say so much but I refuse to give out any spoilers. By the way, you’ll want to read this again and again. I bow to the greatness of Maggie Cole
Wow! Just Wow! What can I say I absolutely love Phil. He’s not who you think he is, he’s loving, caring, but has a secret side to him that no one knows about and he needs to keep it that way, he can’t risk anyone finding out. His one night with Sophie has left his head spinning, he can’t seem to get her out of his head no matter how hard he tries. Phil left her a note, but neither of them want a relationship, no strings, so for Sophie to go looking for Phil would be unconscionable it would look like more than it really is, but is it? All Sophie’s be able to think about is Phil and how good they were together, what does it all mean? These two are explosive together, sexy, a little kinky and can’t seem to keep their hands off each other, they fit together like a puzzle and all they have to do is let go of the past and find the pieces to finish the puzzle. These two have their issues, misunderstandings and when Sophie starts pushing Phil away, all he wants to do is stay by her side, but how long can one man continue to fight for someone who doesn’t want to be saved? As the threats keep coming in, Sophie’s life is in more danger than anyone thought, with the security breaches, and unanswered questions regarding her label, you can’t trust anyone except the ones closest to you and Phil will do anything to keep Sophie safe no matter the cost, but will it be enough before it’s too late? Life and love is always a gamble, how you choose to play game is what makes it all worth wild! Amazing book! This series had been such a ride and to end it with Phil, wow! I had a favorite going in, but I think Phil just bumped him down a notch! I received a copy of this book.
I loved this book. Shows that by taking a gamble on someone that you put your faith and love in them and believe in what they do.
Phil and Sophie’s story has to be hands down my favorite. Throughout the whole series I always felt he needed someone and now he has someone to go tit for tat. Their love scenes are so steamy and their fight scenes are so heartbreaking, I just could stop reading. What a way to end a series!
Loved this entire series. Loved all the characters. Very good read.
I waited for a book about Phil the entire series and this book does not disappoint! Phil is my favorite of all the ‘all in’ men. Phil and Sophie are an absolutely sexy and hot pair! Couldn’t put this book down and when it did end I just wanted more!
Well the main character has three names Carlatta Ensign to fan and Sophie cradle to friend and family. And petal to her lover. Sophie dated who looked good on her arm but not good for anything else. Phil laurent was a good guy he came off as lame and boring but he had a wild side no one knew about. Sophie and Phil develops a erotic attractions to each other.
What a hot, steamy, second chance at love story. I have had a crush on each of these men in all 6 books in this series. Not only is this story super sexy, but so full of love and heart!
All I have to say is, Maggie Cole has blown me away with this one. This a must read.
Omg this ending to the series was epic. I mean all the Guys in this series were off the charts hot but Phil was the supreme way to close out the series. Thank you for this hot journey Maggie. A definite must read.
A fabulous push-pull romance‼ So hot it makes toes curl‼‼ Maggie Cole definitely knows how to put the heat and drama into a story. In her final book from the “All In” series she delivers a truly deep and moving story between Phil Laurent and Sophie Cradle. He’s a billionaire business man and she’s an award winning rock star that needs protecting. They shouldn’t work as a couple due to being so different & neither of them do relationships. But their attraction to each other is too strong not to pull them back together after one super hot night a few months ago. Eventually they’ll have to take a “Gamble” and go “all in” or walk away from each other. This book takes the reader on a wonderful, yet sometimes frustrating, journey that really tugs at the emotions as Phil & Sophie struggle through this relationship stuff that neither of them do well. Get ready for some very intense sex scenes between them too. Too hot to handle for sure. The author does a superb job with character development & interaction. She also has some fantastic storylines, plots and depth of drama. It’s always great when characters from previous books in the series are an active part in the story and several of the favorites are included in this book. Still a stand alone read. Another spectacular book Maggie!!! Highly recommended‼‼‼‼
I loved this book so much but also had to mourn that the All In series is over! These characters really stick with you and you want to continue to root for them! Maggie Cole Knows how to make readers care for her characters
I couldn’t put this book down. Make sure you have time set aside when you start this book. I was almost late to work because I didn’t want to stop reading it!
From Phil and Sophie’s first glance to their reuniting in The Gamble, the Universe knows they are meant to be together.
Each have their own secrets and ghosts. As a couple they combine to not only conquer them but to conquer demons.
An unplanned music fest between friends with surprising talent adds a bit of fun.
True friendship forms a bond of strength and heart.
Take the Gamble and Go All In.
You won’t regret it when your true love is by your side.
& May we say, SPICE in the bedroom!!
Maggie Cole’s books are all stand alone.
However, the way she seamlessly weaves the couples and characters in the series is wonderful.
By the way….zippers are made of metal.
This Petal has the strength to slide Phil’s metal with ease.
Enjoy!! You won’t be disappointed.
A captivating final book and in the All In series! It is a fast paced on the edge of your seat page turner that is well written, well developed, steamy, emotionally deep, and action packed with angst, twists and turns, intrigue, ups and downs, humour, and suspense. The characters are likeable; the chemistry between them is off the charts. Definitely recommended!

Phil & Sophie both just wanted casual. Then things got complicated. Security hacks, death threats, cancelled concerts, bodyguard issues and more. Secrets from the past come back to haunt. How will these two handle it? Who will win the right or will it become war. These two can’t decide which way is up
