Sam's Reading: A Work in Progress

New to this...

All In

All In - Emma   Scott I'd recommend reading Full Tilt, coming up for air, taking a breather and maybe going back to this one after. All in all, I'm not sure this needed to be written. Full Tilt stands on its own. That said, I enjoyed the writing, despite feeling that a different author had written it (perhaps the dual POV).
If you have not read Full Tilt, I wouldn't continue to read this review, in addition to slight All In spoilers.


At first, I had the arresting feeling that it was written by a different Emma Scott..I think it may have been Dual POV, Theo has a different voice from Jonah and that's probably fine in the end, I just didn't enjoy his as much. And while Theo is more my "type" this just didn't develop the same way for me, particularly from Kacey's POV. The seed for Theo loving Kacey was planted well enough throughout Full Tilt, which I did appreciate (it may have made Full Tilt easier to take in the end). I got it well enough that it still received a high rating, but I think reading it so quickly after Full Tilt was perhaps part of the problem.
