In the first book in a brand new series called Coral Cove, Toni Blake inspires readers with her beautifully written love story. Christy Knight experienced tragedy at an early age. While off at school, her home burned down, resulting in the death of all her family members. Left alone and without insurance, Christy was forced to drop out of school during her second to last semester and work just to make ends meet. When her grandfather in Florida, the only remaining family she has left, divulges that he too is experiencing financial pains and may very well get kicked out of his senior home because of it, Christy is even more determined to make some fast cash. So in a desperate act, she decides to go on the hunt for a rich man.

Her first attempt is disaster, resulting in her neighbours witnessing the entire event. Though she may have lost her chance at dating the rich man, Christy has made a new friend in her neighbour, Jack DuVall. As their friendship grows and so does the attraction. While Jack is fully aware of Christy's situation, he holds back a secret that may change the dynamics of their relationship.

Toni Blake pens such an inspiring, heartwarming story for her characters. Jack and Christy are both broken souls experiencing emotional pain, but Blake's love story acts as a balm to their souls, fixing what damage a stressful life has made for them. There are so many inspiring moments in this book where the characters realize things about themselves and about life in general. I find that Blake's writing transcends through the pages and her words can be related to real life situations, because of this, readers won't want to miss Blake's writing!

ALL I WANT IS YOU is a blazing beginning to what I believe will be a fantastic series. More than just a romance, Blake's stories will always be a source of inspiration and energy for many years to come.

Book Summary

Christy Knight grew up in Destiny, Ohio, but lately she feels that her future lies elsewhere. Her parents are gone and the beautiful jewelry she creates doesn't pay the bills. Maybe it's time for Christy to grow up and find a guy who's smart, sexy, and solvent. Her rugged handyman neighbor fits the first two categories, but he's all wrong for her. If only he didn't have such captivating blue eyes.

Wary of trusting others, Jack DuVall hasn't been entirely honest with Christy. He's not really a handyman. He's not really broke. And sharing the long drive to visit her beloved grandpa isn't just about gallantry she finds gorgeous, feisty Christy completely irresistible.

When secrets are exposed, Jack and Christy struggle to find their way back to one another, but the quirky seaside town of Coral Cove could prove the perfect place to find a red- hot destiny of their own.
