Average Customer Rating:

Ok, not great

Customer Rating:

I have been rereading all the Johanna Lindsey books and just recently read 'A Heart So Wild' and then followed it up with this book. It was great to see Chandos and Courtney again and see how they turned out...kids, ranch, etc. So many of Lindsey's sequels are great, but this one was only so-so. Don't get me wrong, this book wasn't awful - it just wasn't terrific. 'A Heart so Wild' was a wonderful love story from start to finish with just great storytelling. 'All I Need is Love' was missing the depth of character and detailed storyline that 'A Heart so Wild' had. It felt very rushed and sloppy, as if Lindsey didn't take the time to really put her heart in it. I say read this book if you want to catch up with the characters from 'A Heart so Wild' but otherwise give it a miss.

More drama then romance

Customer Rating:

This book was not one of JL's best. The characters are likeable, but the book concentrates more on the story line leaving little room for romance. Its about Casey, a seventeen year old girl from Texas that has taken the life of a bounty hunter to prove to her dad that she can do a "man's" job and run the family ranch. Damian is from the east and is on his way to capture his father's killer and this is how they meet. He hires Casey to help him and they fall in love along the way. All in All, its not a waste of time and the book was interesting.

Eh... nice story

Customer Rating:

Nice story... nothing breathtaking or amazing about it. I found Casey to be headstrong and spoiled... almost to the point of being a brat. She did improve near the end though and redeem herself a bit. What can I say about Damian? It took a long time for him to grow on me. Its like his character didn't really develop into much until the middle of the book. He seemed almost weak to me... with not much personality. But as with Casey, he redeemed himself near the end of the story. Their love story was sweet. They certainly didn't have the chemistry that Casey's parents had. And their developing relationship almost seemed secondary to their search for Damian's father's murderer. Slow start to the story, picked up in the middle and then slowed down again near the end. There were a couple great scenes, one including some fun in the river, which helped keep my interest. Overall a good book, but certainly not one I would read over and over again.

What did you read?!

Customer Rating:

I love this book. I read it for the first time a while back, and it stayed with me enough to make me buy it. I loved "A Heart So Wild", and I think this was a fitting sequel. People are complaining about how Chandos wouldn't have let her go in the first place, but it seems to escape them that Chandos's daughter would have more than a small idea of what she wanted to do and the abilities to do it. Casey is very strong willed, but that's something most Lindsey readers expect. She can do anything a man can do, and that's something else I've come to expect. I love her stories because I can see myself in a lot of the heroines, and this one doesn't disappoint.

More Murder Mystery than Romance

Customer Rating:

"All I Need Is You" is alright for a Lindsey. It's not awful, but neither it is a page-turner. "All's" story is straightforward enough: Damian hires a bounty hunter to find his father's murderer only to fall for the bounty hunter, a girl named Casey who is determined to succeed at a man's job to prove to her her father that she can run a rannch. What the story lacks is passion. So much time is spent on discussing the murder and chasing the bad guy that the romance part comes up short. I didn't devour this book, like I did it's prequel, the marvelous "A Heart So Wild." I wish Casey & Damian of "All" had half the passion that Chandos & Courtney of "A Heart" had. I also wish the "bad situations" that Casey found herself in really seemed threatening, but both her showdown and kidnapping were predictable and not at all exciting. Big sigh. Worse was the tacked-on ending revolving around Damian's mother. Lindsey seems to love having belated parent-child reunions in her books ("Angel," "So Speaks the Heart," "Defy Not the Heart" to name a few). I'd recommend reading "A Heart So Wild" over reading "All I Need Is You." "A Heart" is a prime example of a REAL steamy, sexy Western romance, while "All" (with it's lack of charisma and excitement) is more a girl-oriented murder-mystery than romance.
