This story was a romantic delight, well-paced and beautifully written! I already knew that Mia Sheridan was an exceptionally talented writer that knows how to deliver a great romance. But this book totally surpassed my expectations. If you are looking for a break from womanizers and want to fall in love with a spectacular guy, look no further. Gabriel Dalton is your man!

Gabriel has been to hell and back. He was abducted when he was a kid and escaped after six years in captivity. Gabriel is a survivor but struggles to recover from the trauma. He can’t tolerate people in his personal space and is socially awkward. He hires Ellie to help him practice getting close to a woman. Ellie and Gabriel click right away. Their relationship is complicated, though, they are two broken souls.

Ellie is deeply moved by Gabriel’s kindness and sincerity. He is a man with his own share of painful insecurities but his heart is a thing of beauty. He never let himself forget what love felt like. Ellie has given up hope that her dreams of love and happiness would ever come true, she feels unlovable. She is scared and tends to sabotage the good things happening to her.

Mia Sheridan did a fantastic job of writing these two people building a relationship. The romance between Gabriel and Ellie is a slow burn. It forced them to get to know one another and really understand what the other needs. They bring out the best in each other and lead each other to the happiness neither thought they'd find. This book is a journey of emotional healing, an inspirational story of resilience, hope and new beginning.

This is my first book of Mia Sheridan and I fell in love with her writing and storytelling. It's about two damaged heroes who found with each other peace, forgiveness, and love. And it's truly heartbreaking and beautiful at the same time.

Crystal or Ellie, because our heroine has two names, has a hard life. She is quite alone in the world and doing her best. She doesn't believe that something good can meet her. When she met Gabriel, she has a big wall around herself and not let anyone come near. Even if he is completely different from everyone in the place where they meet.

Gabriel also has a tragic past, but the support of loved ones and the belief that he can be happy allows him to lead a good life. But it is not that it comes easily to him. When he met Crystal, he see her. And he can not stop coming back and fight for her.

I can not reveal too many details of the plot, because it wouldn't be surprising for you to read. The characters have some tragic past behind them, but this is not a depressing story. More inspiring and uplifting. It can add you faith that good things can come. It's really heart touching.

Beautifully written and created from the beginning to the end. I am delighted with this story and Mia Sheridan.

In a practical sense, a Mia Sheridan novel means having your 'emotional reading care pack' ready and waiting to deal with any heartbreaking symptoms occurring whilst indulging in one of her books.

Gabriel Dalton needs help to mend the final part of his previously broken life to be whole again. He has a plan, knowing the path leads him along the one he's meant to follow. However, the subject prompting his actions changes as he meets a young woman who, he always knows will touch his heart.

Crystal's surprised when a handsome young man asks for her help. His request is unconventional, but she agrees all the same. However, she soon realises Gabriel is wrong to assume she can assist him to overcome a personal problem, when, she's the one that needs saving.

The pace is slow in this emotional narrative, but in this instance, it didn't work for me...or so I thought. The narrative peaks and troughs with enticing passages that draw me in, captivating me then, follows with passages that make me skim because my attention is lost. However, the overall impact of Gabriel and Ellie's (Crystal) story didn't hit me until the end. I'm now left thinking...pondering after engaging with the poignant words and metaphors. Bravo Ms Sheridan.

The chemistry between the protagonists is intense and palpable but the romance is slow to develop. It takes a while for them to be on the same page and even when they are, the time still isn't right for them to be together until unresolved issues and conditioning behaviour from the past are dealt with.

If you've read Archer's Voice, you'll adore Gabriel and his intuitive observations. You can't help but love him, as this broken young man begins a final step to become a whole person again. Then, there's Ellie, whose life has been all about acceptance until she realises she has to break the mould that has shaped her past, to start living a life she deserves.

Due to my personal reading preferences, a plot thread that runs intermittently through the duration of the book made me uncomfortable and antsy. The conclusion is satisfying for me, although I'm not sure the sub-plot is necessary. The narrative covers distressing issues with heartfelt compassion with defined character development, even if it's a little uneven and sometimes unrealistic. Yet, that's the beauty of fiction, where characters don't always act and behave as we think they should.

In some respects, this has been a difficult novel for me to read yet, somehow I've come out the other end appreciating the slow journey.

3.5 stars

What are heart wrenching story. Mia Sheridan definitely knows how to pull you in and keep you tossing and turning with this gripping yet raw story of love.

I cried, I screamed and I wanted to hurl something at someone; these are the feelings that Mia had evoked in me when I read this story. I know it doesn’t seem like I enjoyed it but that’s the furthest from the truth. I get hooked on stories like these, the ones that grip your heart in places that make you feel uncomfortable and question your sense of comfort.

I absolutely was engrossed in every chapter, holding onto my breathe with every word. The characters were just so broken that you wouldn’t think that hope could be their saviour. Their lives cross in the most unpredictable way, that you start to question how can, two lost souls possibly have a chance at any kind of happiness. You just feel utterly destroyed by their pasts and what they have endured.

I absolutely recommend this masterpiece to every soul out there looking for hope in the most inconspicuous places.

Wow! This author's writing is so beautiful! Her stories always pull me in and makes me feel all the feels! Gabriel and "Crystal's" story is heartwarming and heartbreaking, it's sweet and sexy, it's about two people who have been through so much and it shows their strength they have to overcome what life has given them! I just want to hug them! Great storyline with outstanding characters that I love! Looking forward to what's coming next from this author!

Most of All You was a breathtakingly emotional story of two broken people trying to make it through life and the life altering hurdles it threw in their way. This story is one that is filled with unimaginable pain and anguish, yet in the same breath is filled with the most soul touching love and healing that you will ever experience. As much as this story is about hurt and darkness and things that threaten to take the life out of you, it is just as much, if not more so about love and light and the things that make life worth living for.
Mia Sheridan continues to be one of the most talented authors I have ever had the pleasure of reading. The way she so thoughtfully weaves together stories and characters that are deep, so unforgettably real, and that sear themselves to your heart is what continues to make her one of my favorite authors. Her words, the feelings and emotions behind them, and the beautiful and powerful meaning she crafts behind them are so much more. They are more unforgettable, more amazing, more consuming, and more all-feeling.
She just makes her stories and characters and everything with them mean so much more, and that truly sets her books in a league of their own.
Most of All You follows what happens when two people with a world of hurt and pain in their pasts, find themselves on the same path trying to find a way to heal, to find themselves, and to be who they were always meant to be. This story follows them through every struggle, triumph, and moment in between with them as they fight against each other and what they know is right, as they fight for themselves, and as they fight to end up in the exact place they know they need to be. Most of All You gives you their highs, their lows, and every moment in between as they try to find their way through the darkness that threatens to surround them. This book has a story within it that is bursting with so much heart, so much varied emotion, and so much hope. Hope for the future, hope for healing, and hope for what could be if fate finds a way. Getting to experience that hope along with everything else in this book was extraordinary.
Every page of this book, every sentence with these characters, and every word I experienced while reading put me right in the thick of this book with these characters loving and feeling and breathing and living everything that they were.
The way that Mia Sheridan once again puts you in the heart of her story will pull at every one of your emotions, and will have you rooting with all that you have that Gabriel and Ellie will find a way to get to the place they both deserve to be. Through every page of this book my love for those two grew exponentially, and the way that Mia Sheridan gave me them, as their messiest, at their most complicated, at their most broken pulled my heart to them a million times over. She allowed me to get them, to understand their pain and their journeys and why they guarded their hearts the way she did. She also allowed me to see and feel how it all started to change, and to understand the fears and worries and vulnerabilities that went along with that.
Through every page and word of what I read and felt, I got these characters. I got them, their fight, their falls, and every moment of the two of them seeing what could be if they could only find it through that darkness to the light they both wanted. Ellie and Gabriel’s story was beautiful. It was raw and intense at times and so breathtakingly real, and getting to fall in love with them both while I got to experience their incredible journeys of fight and healing was everything.
Gabriel was a man who melted my heart from the very first page. His honesty, his sweetness, and his patience blew me away. That man had a heart of gold that shined on every page, and the words out of his mouth and the meaning behind them had me loving him with all that I had. Ellie and her hard exterior, her blunt nature, and her fiery self pulled me in, even when that girl did all she could to push others away. Getting to see that exterior of hers crack, getting to see her walls fall, and getting to be there with her as she tried to figure out who she was and what she wanted was amazing. It was real and genuine and it was her, and that was everything to get.
Most of All You was one of the most perfect love stories I have ever read, and what’s funny is it probably had two of the most broken characters in it, yet it was their brokenness, their cracks, and the dings in their armor that made this story so beautiful, so right, and so epic. Every word of this book wowed me. Every emotion behind it all moved me and had my heart melting and my eyes tearing up more times than I could count. Every moment I got with these characters gave me it all, and in the end I know that I will not soon forget what this story so exceptionally gave me.
It was breathtaking, it was emotional, it was healing, it was pain and hurt and love and light all mixed into one, and through it all it was a story about what can happen when you learn to embrace the cracks that let you see the light.
I cannot say enough how much I loved this book and what it gave me. Ellie and Gabriel’s story will move you in ways you didn’t know possible, and will give you a love story you won’t soon forget, and it truly does not get better than that!

Mia Sheridan has done it again! I absolutely loved Most of All You! This is a beautifully written story that reached deep into my soul. It completely gutted me, made my heart ache and caused me to ugly cry; yet taught me a much-needed lesson in forgiveness and acceptance (of myself as well as others). Very few stories have ever touched me the way that Most of All You has.

Mia Sheridan is a beautiful storyteller! Most of All You is a story that will stay with me for a long time! It is definitely a top read of 2017 for me!

Two broken souls, one emotional story that'll be impossible to let go of long after you've put it down. Mia Sheridan delivers a poignant story that will break your heart and put it back together with a deep and beautiful love that celebrates the triumph of the human spirit.

Gabriel Dalton had to cope with a horribly undesirable past, but he pulled through with his own unbreakable strength and will. Though there’s still a part of him that needs healing.

From an early age Crystal learned about loss, feeling the emotional pain down to her marrow and enduring the consequences of it by being neglected, deprived of the love and safety all children should enjoy.

Given her unfortunate circumstances and in order to evade ever feeling heartbreak again she built a fortress to protect her and learned to detach body and mind during the unpleasant moments she still has to endure. Until Gabriel Dalton with his tender gaze, gentle patience and sculptor’s hands chipped away her defenses and taught her that there are good men worth taking a risk.

It wasn’t an easy acceptance, she’s broken and afraid. She pushes him away again and again because every man she’s come across has only used and abused her. But Gabriel, sensing a dark past not unlike his own, doesn’t give up.

Together they find a love that’s capable of mending their brokenness. But it’s up to them, especially Crystal, to find herself and the ability to trust him.

Right off the bat, I was hooked and saddened by Crystal’s story. Her start in life was so desolate and only got worse with time. Her hardness and wariness was warranted. She needed those walls to survive. Gabriel saw that, but also saw her softness and the potential for so much.

Gabriel was such an incredible hero, having gone through his own hell also at a young age, but having a better family life, he came out broken yet with his soul intact. I fell in love with him right from the start with his shy smile and strong will. And the more I read, the more I fell, because he was just such good and gentle man, full of love, gratefulness and strength which was also so very sexy.

Most All of You is an emotionally naked story about fortitude, hope and healing brought by a virtuoso at lacing heartbreak, passion and love. A must read for all romance lovers. This one goes straight to my favorites list.

Most All of You is a standalone contemporary romance by author Mia Sherida. It is told from both points of view with a sweet, sweet happy ending.

I don't write lengthy reviews because I don't feel like I need to hash out the story or basically rewrite the synopsis for someone to read the book. First, that kinda spoils the story and second, it spoils the story. My job is to just tell you how the story made me feel and if I recommend it. With this review it's going to be kinda shorter then my normal short review.

READ THE BOOK!

There, that's it, my short review. It's emotional and gutting and beautifully heartbreaking. Ellie and Gabriel's story tore me up and owns a piece of my heart. They help each other heal all while healing themselves. That's all I'm going to tell you. Grab this one and see for yourself.

Mia Sheridan serves up another stunning, heart-wrenching romance with Most of All You. From the very first page, I was captivated. I knew that this novel would be as refreshingly unique as every other book from this author and I was definitely not disappointed. Crystal and Gabriel’s journey was one-of-a-kind and they shared a connection that was all their own. This couple was as unlikely as they were perfect for one another, their individual jagged edges fitting together to create something whole and healing. With a chemistry that absolutely sizzled, Crystal and Gabriel were the perfect combination of sweet and spicy and I quickly found myself totally addicted to this novel.

Crystal is not your usual heroine. Life had not been kind to her and yet she seemed oddly accepting of her circumstances. Resigned to a lackluster fate devoid of emotional connection, there was something about this character that called out to me. Crystal had a fierceness in her that hinted at an incredible strength and begged for something better to find her. I adored the way in which this character blossomed over the course of the story. Mia Sheridan did a fantastic job unraveling Crystal’s insecurities, revealing her strengths, and highlighting the things that made her utterly lovable. She fought for her own happiness and she fought hard. Crystal’s resilience and determination ensured that I rooted for her happily ever after.

I can’t say I’ve ever read a character quite like Gabriel before. He tugged on my heartstrings in seriously surprising ways. This hero was sweet, thoughtful, kind, and respectful – everything Crystal didn’t know she needed. Having endured more than his share of loss and heartache, Gabriel seemed to unknowingly recognize something in Crystal that allowed them both to grow and heal. In being able to care for her, he took back control of his life and, for the first time, was able to choose his own path. I loved how Mia Sheridan quietly evolved this character, putting aside his initial expectations for the relationship and allowing something else entirely to take root and eventually, transform them both.

Crystal and Gabriel weren’t the only characters to make me feel. I also enjoyed the colorful and emotionally raw secondary personalities that helped shape our couple’s journey. Most of All You is leisurely paced, perfectly in line with Mia Sheridan’s other more touching reads. The character development, plotline progression, and emotional build-up were exceptional, ensuring that Most of All You is a true testament to Mia Sheridan’s undeniable talent. While Crystal and Gabriel’s story felt completely different from any of the author’s previous work, there was also something perfectly identifiable as Mia’s writing magic that warmed my heart as I read. Crystal and Gabriel’s journey is memorable and moving. Most of All You is another beautifully distinctive and breathtakingly poignant story from Mia Sheridan.

5 SOULFUL stars! This book is a roll coaster of emotions, a soulful reading that you wouldn't want to miss. Gabriel Dalton will steal your heart. He will be your next book boyfriend!

Someone please pinch me! This book is a rare unicorn. Most of All You is a masterpiece wrapped in a cute cover. It is a must read you won’t want to miss. It’s brilliantly written from the beginning to the end. This book is like fresh air. The plot is original. The characters are complex. They are beautifully broken. The story line is well developed.

Mia Sheridan's writing will wrap you in a roll coaster of emotions. While reading this book I felt a constant tug in my heart. I was deeply immersed in the story. This book has all the elements to make it perfect.

The heroine is a broken woman but at the same time strong. Ellie is a lost soul trying to find something precious through all the bad. Her life hasn't been easy. She craves love. She thinks she doesn't deserve good things. She feels abandoned. Men have taken from her but they never give her the one thing she wants the most.

“My insides twisted. God, she was beautiful. Too beautiful for this room. Too beautiful for this place.”

During her life she has been used like a doll; a pretty doll which can be disposed at anytime, a worthless toy to be played. She works in a place where men see her as a sexual object. She does not belong there but she has not many options until she receive an unusual proposal from an angel.

“I don’t want anyone else except you. You are the right girl. Please.”

Gabriel Dalton is a handsome broken angel. He can’t stand the closeness of any woman because of his past. He has reached a point in his life where he wants to start a relationship. Willing to heal he will seek help in the less fortunate place. In a place of temptation, he will find the right girl who will help him to heal; not knowing that at the same time Ellie will heal her own wounds too.

“I knew you were an angel,” I whispered. “I knew you were.” I reached my hand up and cupped his cheek, catching a tear on my thumb. “Don’t cry, my angel. Don’t cry. Not for me.” Never for me.”

Their “relationship” started as a business but the attraction will pull them together. Ellie and Gabriel are a match made in heaven. They both are broken. They are damaged soul mates who will heal together. Their scars made them peculiarly perfect for each other.


“She looked like a broken goddess, and if I knew how to paint, I’d want to paint her, to capture all her shadows and light.”

Fate will play with them. They will discover their true feelings but some people around them will see their interaction as improper because they are from different worlds. Both are damage in a different level. Ellie is a master in hiding her true colours and Gabriel is a master in staying away. She hides and he wants to find her. Ellie despises herself and believes that she is not enough for a man like Gabriel. She thinks he deserves better. Gabriel will have to work hard to make Ellie believe that they are meant to be together. He will follow his heart directions.

Gabriel Dalton has stolen my heart. He is a perfect knight in shining armour every woman would love to have. He is an artist who can create beauty with his hands. Let him be your next book boyfriend.

“Gabriel. Just like the angel. My angel. I want him to be my angel. I closed my eyes and pictured his arms as massive wings wrapped around me, protecting me from the world, and the vision brought forth a smile.”

This book is phenomenal and brilliant, a must read! It is sweet and addictive. It left me wanting more. This is one of the best books of 2017. Mia has delivered a soulful love story. There are not enough stars for this book. Let’s start with millions...

Stunning. Poignant. Mesmerizing. One of those stories that I didn’t want to end while trying not to inhale it at the same time. A story that made my chest and heart physically ache, tears freely spilling down my cheeks, at least once without me even realizing. A story written in a beautiful and prosaic way that will stay with me for a very long time. This is the most perfect example imaginable why I love reading romance novels so much.

Ellie and Gabriel’s journey is breathtaking, heartbreaking, but, above all, beautiful. Two broken, deeply scarred souls searching for peace, if not healing: Some damage simply can never be undone completely and stays inside you permanently.

Two people who couldn’t be more different from one another meeting at an unexpected place in a very unusual situation. Two complex and extraordinary characters that are in total contrast to each other, yet complement each other perfectly, which becomes more and more obvious with each layer that is peeled off as the story progresses. Characters that feel unbelievably real, which you want to call friends in real life.

The torment and all the tragic they both had to endure ripped my heart apart, my soul bleeding for them. Neither of them being at a point where they wanted to be in life, they somehow– with a huge push from fate – become exactly what the other never know they needed.

And Gabriel … gosh, Gabriel! He is one incredibly wonderful man. The material book boyfriends for eternity are made of. He exudes a quiet strength, is brave beyond compare and sees the good in people despite his past. He might still suffer from its aftereffects but he isn’t allowing for it to define him or to hold a grudge: He is positive he is exactly leading the life he was supposed to have. Then there is the way he believes in Ellie from the very first moment… How can you not admire such a man?

MOST OF ALL YOU is an exceptional multi-faceted story – one of the must-reads in 2017!

Mia Sheridan is known for writing the broken boys with soft hearts. In Most Of All You you get the sweet boy that you come to expect from Sheridan. In Gabriel’s case he was kidnapped as a kid and is trying to work out on last issue. By the time Gabriel meets Crystal he has made peace with a lot of things that have happened to him. He approaches Crystal hoping she can help him with his last roadblock; human touch. The problem is Crystal is extremely damaged from her childhood and having to get close to Gabriel to help him, is hurting her.

It took me a bit to warm up to Crystal because Gabriel was so sweet and in her effort to push him away she his mean to him. She decides the emotional cost to her is too great and tells him she can’t help. But they are thrown together again after she is attacked and Gabriel offers his help. I thought Most of You was a sweet story and a bit sad. It was a bit insta-love on Gabriel’s part but it made sense for him. He felt connected and he needed to nurture and love someone to completely heal. Crystal grew on me as she healed from her injuries and you learned how deep her hurt was. I liked that she finally realized she had to grow and fix herself in order to lead a full life.

All in all this was an enjoyable read and it had a sweet HEA.

4.5 "Keep grasping rainbows." STARS

I finished Most of All You by Mia Sheridan a few nights ago and my heart still hurts. It was destroyed in a beautiful way. Mia Sheridan broke my heart into pieces, just to touch it and heal my pain. Gabriel was remarkable. I found a little bit hard to like Crystal at the beginning, but at the end, my heart was rooting for her.

"Our hands linked together in a way that made me feel we'd been created together, that every part of his body might contain a place just for me, a place I'd fit like no other. As if we'd been sculpted with the other in mind."

Poignant, beautiful and at times breathlessly heartbreaking, Mia Sheridan's Most of All You is a total page-turner that explores the tale of two broken souls and the healing power of love.

"I'd had to turn away in order to travel the path that would bring me back to him, the path that ended with nothing separating us at all"

Along with the beautiful romance, there was the process of self-acceptance. Because the truth is that you must first love yourself before you can love another.

With a plot that will pull you in from page one and won't let you go until the last. Most of All You will take you on a journey of all-consuming emotions. A story that won’t let you go even after the last page is turned. And will let you hoping that someday you will get the chance to experience a story as touching as this one.

Most of All You is for romance lovers. So if you are one of them, this is a book worthy to hold in your hands and get lost in its words.

Crystal wanted to be anyone else other than who she really was. The pain of her past was too real and she had to get on with the hard business of living.

Dancing at the Platinum Pearl was all she could really do. She could turn it all off and become the girl of their dreams. That gave her enough courage to keep going. Until an angel walked through those doors.

He started to turn away but then looked back. “Can I just ask one more question?”
I moved from one leg to the other. “Sure.”
“What were you thinking when you looked at me from the stage? When our eyes met.”
I frowned slightly, about to deny I’d been thinking anything at all but deciding it didn’t matter at that point. I’d never see him again. “I was thinking you didn’t belong here.” And I’d been right.
He paused, his expression enigmatic as his eyes moved over my face. “Huh. Funny,” he finally murmured. “I was thinking the very same thing about you.”
I laughed, a short huff of sound. “Well, you were wrong there. This is the one place I do belong, sugar.”
“Gabriel.” His lips tipped up slightly, his eyes lingering on me for a heartbeat too long, before he turned and walked away.

Everyone knew Gabriel Dalton as the boy who was kidnapped and lived to tell about it. Those six years could have completely broken him, but it was his memories of love that sustained him.

He was only searching for a girl who could teach him how to be close to someone again but instead he found the one that he wanted to give his heart and soul to – forever.

“You can’t fix me, you know.”
She’d said something similar to me at the Platinum Pearl and I’d questioned my own motives. But looking at her now, I knew that had never been my intent. I wanted her to heal, and I hoped I could be a part of that. But no one could fix anyone else. We could only fix ourselves. “No, you’re right. I can’t fix you.” I can only love you. And I truly want to try.

Most of All You is an exceptional read on so many levels! It’s devastating and yet hopeful, dehumanizing and yet uplifting and completely soul shaking.

Mia Sheridan once again creates characters that leave an indelible mark upon you. She shines a bright light on the beauty of the broken that will have you smiling through tears and you’ll remember just how deeply it makes you feel for long after the last page is turned…

Most of All You by Mia Sheridan tells a beautiful, amazing and heartbreaking story that stays with you. It was emotional, dark and sweet t story of two broken and lonely people who find each other when they most needed it.

Crystal/Ellie and Gabriel have both suffered so much in their life already. They are both haunted by their pasts. Their stories are sad and dark and will break your heart. Once they meet, Ellie and Gabriel slowly develop a friendship and connection. But coming together also means learning to trust and heal. Can they find a way to heal and love each other or will their pasts continue to haunt them?

I loved Ellie and Gabriel. Despite his past, Gabriel was such a sweet and caring man. Though he found it hard to trust and be open, he sought a way to get past it. Ellie was so broken. She was bitter and hard and refused to let anyone in. Until Gabriel. With Gabriel we can see a different side of her.

Most of All You was another amazing story by Mia Sheridan. It was a sad story about two people who are both lost and broken, but find something they needed in each other. It was a slow-burn romance and it’s a story you need to experience. It has all the feels and is heartbreaking, but also full of hope and redemption. A must read!

When I first stared reading this book it was a little slow catching for me but it did not take long for me to get hooked. Mia has delivered a story so unique and completely beautiful it's in a class of its own.

Gabriel and Crystal have lived through situations left for our worst nightmares. There chances to fight for something good in their lives doesn't come easy and there are struggles that hold them back. I couldn't put the book down, both Gabriel and Chrystal moved into my thoughts. I felt like I had grown attached to them, I wanted them to be okay, to heal and of course heal.

I also want to give mad props to the author for giving us some of the best supporting characters in a book EVER! From Dominic and George to Chloe I felt a kinship to each one and thankful they were in one another lives. I can't explain it but as I read this book I felt like I was transported right into the story.

Shattered memories of a childhood from long ago. A past riddled with disappointment and abandonment. Revelations that leave Ellie expecting very little from life. A loss of faith in humanity and the people that she meets along the way. A girl who grew up longing for the mother that left her behind. Knowing that the hand she once was dealt brought nothing but despair and longing. Crushing the spirit of a girl who desperately wants to have a home and family to call her own.

No one could possibly know the anxiety and pain that envelopes Gabriel’s life. Moments that have shaped the path that he now leads. Leading the course of his life while hinting at the turmoil that still haunts Gabe’s dreams. A tragedy from circumstances beyond his control. Now picking up the pieces have led Gabriel on a path to take back the remaining pieces of a life that he so desperately deserves.

Unconventional doesn’t begin to describe the way that Gabriel comes into Ellie’s life. Bringing with him the possibilities of hope. Something that has evaded Ellie’s life for so long. As the two are thrust into one another’s life, secrets from both of their pasts come barreling into the present. A catalyst that pushes the two towards finding what makes them whole once more.

Okay….I have been waiting (not so) patiently for another Mia Sheridan book!! Most of All You is Sheridan’s first book with a publisher. While it is the romance that we have come to crave as readers, Gabriel and Ellie face a set of trials unlike any of Sheridan’s other characters. While reading this novel, readers will uncover a crushing feeling of desperation for Ellie and Gabe. One that leaves you longing for them to find a life that they deserve.

There were so many feelings rumbling around my head as I dove into this book with fever. The heart ache and excitement clearly evident as I engrossed myself in this book. It is filled with angst, heartache, and strength. A culmination of the vast emotions that Sheridan never fails to treat her readers to upon reading. A beautiful beginning to Sheridan’s partnership with her first publisher!!

From the very first page Mia Sheridon holds your heart in her hands, her words have the power to shift emotions seismically.

Most of All You is raw and emotional yet there is a thread of hope that is a powerful yet subtle presence through the narrative. Beautiful, heart-breaking and restorative - prepare to have your heart broken and put back together in a new a stronger form.

Daniel and Ellie have had to deal with the most heinous of situations in their young lives, while their experiences have shaped their identities; one has gained strength and determination from the trauma while the other has become defined by their suffering. Burying emotional pain and believing you deserve the negative things that happen can lead to a very bitter and pessimistic existence, adding more agony to the burden already being carried.

Daniel is an inspiration, taking comfort and expressing gratitude for the simplest of things, bring peace and contentment to his life. Although he does hope to bring further happiness into his life with a relationship and intimacy. Which is how he meets Ellie, in the hope of overcoming his aversion to physical closeness.

Ellie has suffered more than one person ever should, but worse than that is her acceptance of all of the negative events that have happened to her. The most heartbreaking part for me, was how Ellie desperately craves love and affection and has only ever been used and abused. Until Daniel.

The connection between Ellie and Daniel is instinctual, it is as if they recognise the pain both has experienced in the other. Their kindred spirits bring to mind soulmates, they truly belong together, having the ability to understand the other in ways no-one else would.

However, the problem between Daniel and Ellie is Ellie's inability to believe and accept Daniel's love due to all of her emotional damage. If you are unable to believe and love yourself you will always question how and why anyone else would be able to love you, creating an underlying tension to any relationship.

I admired Ellie's inner strength even if she didn't recognise it herself. Ellie was able to see the damage her negativity would ultimately create in her relationship with Daniel, and she was courageous enough to do something about it.

Both Daniel and Ellie have to confront their own personal demons in different ways in order to move forward with their lives and gain the happiness they truly deserve ♥
