5+ stars!!!
All In is the all-consuming, beautiful conclusion to Full Tilt. It’s one of those books that ‘hurt so good’. Full Tilt was one of the very best books I’ve read this year. It’s an unforgettable and touching read. I was anxious to read this one. Would it live up to the first? I can easily say with no hesitation YES. It did. Just like the first book, this one left it’s mark on me. I have been thinking of it non-stop since I finished. This story won’t leave my head or my heart. My tears ...more

"Despite our losses, we would keep going. Never give in or give up. Because love always wins. Always."

➦I will keep this review short and sweet. First of all, if you haven't read the first book in the duet you definitely need to read that one first. You can read my review to the first book HERE

While the book wasn’t as earth shattering as its predecessor, it did more than hold it’s on. It stood on it’s own, a different story but just as beautiful. And while Full Tilt taught me to revel in the moments, All In reminded me where truth lies. I’m the kind of person who overthinks everything, so these words were the perfect antidote.
What an amazing discovery Emma Scott is to me. I can’t wait to read more of her books!

"Love had no end. She was infinite. She was a universe, my universe, and I was hers.
Love had no boundaries, no rules, no favorites.
And no limits."
"Full Tilt" and "All In" books were the hardest books I ever read. They gave me the best but also the worst days of my life... I cried too much while I was reading them but it was so worth all my tears... Jonah, Theo, Kacey touched my heart, touched my soul... I’ll never, ever forget this story, I'll never forget them.. Never… <3

This is book 2 of the Full Tilt series and it's advised that you read Full Tilt before reading All In.
Three words to describe this book: Empathic. Fluid. True. I would have been tempted to get all giddy about this story if, having lost a sibling myself, the subject matter hadn't been so close to home. Following Full Tilt, I waited with baited breath to read how Emma would handle this slightly controversial plot move.

“How can I ever let go when there was still so much I didn’t do?” she demanded with sudden fire. “Because I could have done more. I should have done more. I should’ve married him. Did he want that? A wedding? Or I could have had his baby. So he could know that a part of him would go on forever.”
“Kacey—”

Review @ Vanilla & Spice Books

Hello epic book hangover. That's it. I'm done.
This series has captured my heart and wrecked it, yet I can't help and want to start at the beginning right now. I'm in love with the whole lot of main and secondary cast and I just missed them ten minutes after closing the book. I'm trying to keep this review as spoiler-free as possible but if you haven't read Full Tilt yet...what are you waiting for?

shattered me, All In put me back together again and there is absolutely no question that these books are two of my favourite all-time reads.

Simply put, Emma Scott has created a wonderful, and again poignant, story of love, loss and hope. To take the story down the path she does was a bold move and to do it with such flawless perfection displays real talent, and whilst my emotions weren't quite so extreme this time around, they were roused so many times.

"Choose your card, sweetheart."
There was no fortune card choosing for me in this story. I think the deck was already fully laid out. When I read Full Tilt, I was shattered, completely and utterly shattered. Starting All In, I read the love, the passion, I could literally sense the dedication, the commitment that Theo had in making Kacey his in every way. Not going to lie, I was ready to pull my hair out at the lack of communication between Theo & Kacey when it came to their feelings but once the ...more

Just just as a forewarning, All In is second to Full Tilt in Emma Scott’s newest duet. All In CANNOT be read as a standalone. With this being said, I’ve included an excerpt (spoiler free) at the top of this post and will include my review after. My review will contain some spoilers to Full Tilt so unless you’ve read the book, you may want to skip my review of All In and check out my spoiler free review of Full Tilt instead! http://tbbsisterhood.com/2016/07/01/r...
