All of Me

by Sheryl Lister

Electricity on the high seas…

Declaring a "dating hiatus" was an easy decision for teacher Karen Morris. She intends to unwind and enjoy a luxurious Caribbean cruise without the presence of her cheating ex-boyfriend. But surprisingly all it takes is the deliciously sculpted form of chivalrous businessman Damian Bradshaw to turn Karen's head and change her mind…

Damian's friends are determined to save him from his widowerhood—and self-imposed celibacy. But no one is more shocked than Damian when Karen catches his attention and awakens his desire. Something about her ignites an insatiable need that neither of them can deny. The chemistry is inexplicable. But once back on dry land, real life awaits—along with their pasts. Will the promise of a bright future be enough to rehabilitate their reluctant hearts?

All of Me by Sheryl Lister was a fantastic book. After having met Karen Morris in Ms. Lister’s book “Just To Be With You” I knew she had to get a story of her own. I first hoped she would be paired with Janae’s brother Devin, but I loved her with Damian. Damian has such a tortured soul that pairing him with the loving Karen was great. I so loved how Ms. Lister resolved both of these characters past issues and allowed them to find love. I again loved the great family dynamic shown in this and all of Ms. Lister’s stories. Bravo! While this is not listed as a series, this was the second book with these characters. I truly hope there are more.

Another great read by Sheryl Lister. I knew after meeting Karen Morris in "Just to be With You" I knew she had to have her own story. At first, I pictured her with Donovan but I loved her with Damian. Love the connection of eye to eye from across the room and the feeling they felt and after meeting the sparks was unstoppable. Damian was a troubled soul and Karen nursing a broken heart is just what she needed, they couldn't resist each other and the attraction from the start. Destined to be together in this romantic, sexy, and heartfelt follow-up novel. Another job well done and can't wait to see what next for Sheryl Lister and you're becoming one of my favorite new authors.

Absolutely loved the book. The storyline gives me goose bumps. Love is such a powerful emotion and it took that emotion to wake Damion up. I was jumping for joy when Karen realized what she was missing. Outstanding. I knew the book was going to be good but geesh, it was better than good.

Good Read

I really enjoyed Damian and Karen's story & I finished it in a few hours. It was also nice catching up with Janae & Terrence.

[Black Sun · Rating 3 out of 5]

The dialog seemed clichéd. That's what I get for reading a book named All of Me. I found the heroine annoying sometimes. It was just okay for me.

Excellent

This author is quickly becoming a favorite writer. This compelling story is well written and captivated me from beginning to the ending. The main characters, "Karen and Damian" experienced ups and downs to complete the height of their love, marriage and career. The minor themes of infidelity and death were written with care. I enjoyed the story because it had typical professionals.

Several times he rescued Karen from unwanted advances. They healed together while on the cruise and fell in love and stayed with each other until the end. After the cruise he felt lost because he never got her number. On their job assignment they traveled to her school which led to happily ever after.

He Thought He Would Never See Her Again

Fun sexy romance. I enjoy Sheryl Lister's characters; how she layers the suspense of the relationships. Damien and Karen met by chance on a cruise and they found each other again by chance.

Damien and Karen, heart's desire

Every relationship comes with baggage and hangups, and Damien and Karen were no exception. Battling the loss of one relationship because of death and the other because of infidelity has a way to keep barriers around the heart that only love can overcome. Through the ups and downs, Damien renewed spirit and release on life allowed him to accept his love for Karen. Where Karen had to see and recognize that stepping out on faith and forgoing past hurts is the only way to truly live. It was a great story, and I look forward to what Mrs. Lister comes up with next.

This is the 3rd book I read by Sheryl Lister. This book's story line was okay. I liked the hot & steamy scenes. I liked Karen's character. I was happy for Karen. I liked Damain's character. My heart broke for Damain. Damain & Karen kind of got on my nerves. Nikki got on my nerves too, she got what she deserved. I really enjoyed reading the updates about Janae & Terrance. I also enjoyed reading about how Melissa & Kyle met. I liked the ending.

[Adrienne Thompson · Rating 4 out of 5]

I truly enjoyed this sweet love story. The main characters were likable, and I found myself rooting for them through all of the ups and downs and twists and turns their journey to love took. And... I'm going to have to book a cruise ASAP. Lol!! Great job, Ms. Lister!

This was my first time reading a title by Ms. Lister. I loved the dialogue. Each character was believable. I enjoyed the pacing of the story and the element of suspense. I loved the way the story ended. Kimani press found a winner by publishing Ms. Lister's books. I will pick up another title by Ms. Lister.

[Marilyn Diamond · Rating 5 out of 5]

I recently went on a cruise but I didn't see any eligible fine men like Damian Bradshaw and I was looking too.
I love a great love story that comes with plots and twists and this novel made my day.

All of Me

Let me start by saying that this was a great book! I fell in Love with the characters! Each one played a intricate part in the book. I would definitely recommend this book.

[Shone · Rating 5 out of 5]

Karen Martin motto is "you fooled me once, shame on me twice shame on you" however she is not opposed to a little fun. Damian Bradshaw has finally decided to come out from under his rock after hiding for five years. Distance, fear, secrets,are the keys to All of Me.

[Whit · Rating 3 out of 5]

I understand that Andre and his family did a number on Karen, but why did Damian have to suffer for it? It was really annoying how she kept dumping him over and over every time a hard decision had to be made. And there are no words for that low down, back-stabbing Nikki!!!!

[Tigger · Rating 4 out of 5]

I have enjoyed this book

Hopefully it will be Kyle and Melissa story but if not waiting for Sheryl Lister next book

[Toni · Rating 4 out of 5]

Love the story about Damian Bradshaw and Karen Morris, good chemistry. Karen did get on my nerves quite a few times, but Damian was patient.

[Anita L. Roseboro-Wade · Rating 5 out of 5]

Beautiful story of love and trust

I love Karen and Damien's story. Glad that they let their love heal them from the pain of the past.
