I wanted to quit this book a few times. Maybe it just wasn't for me.
This story centers around Tessa, a wedding event planner, who goes to a Colorado resort to participate in a wedding event planning competition. There she meets Marci who is helping her best friend with the competition. Tessa wants to focus on winning the competition and Marci's life has stalled after leaving her cheating wife. They hook up a lot and both claim to not want a relationship.
I pushed through hoping it would get better but it never did. I never connect with any of these characters and actually found them annoying.

Thanks to Net Galley for providing this ARC.

Sex with a plot. Can't think of another way to describe it...Tessa enters a competition for wedding planners, Marci works at the resort where the competition is being held. Before they know of eachothers roles they share a wild and sexy one night stand, but Marci's trust issues drive a wedge between them rather quickly after seeing eachother again during the introduction of the competition. Sexual tension keeps flaring up though and they let it out a lot.

I actually liked the dialogue and characters in the book, just don't expect a sweet romance but more lustfilled, explicit thoughts about sex and having sex and...well, you get the drift I think.

"All she wants" is another good addition to the genre. There is nothing amazing here, but it is good for what it is.

Marci Jones is not a people person. The last thing she wants is to be the liaison for the contest crew leaders, but when her best friend needs a favor.When I started reading I couldn't put it down.Larkin Rose is magnifysent and amazing writer.I cannot wait to read more of there books.Keep up the great work.You should definitely read this books.Can't wait for the next book.

When I read a book written by Larkin Rose, there are a few things I am certain I will find. I know there will be steamy sex scenes, and I know there will be a good many of them. Also, the characters, especially the main characters, will be strong-willed and kick-ass types who will clash at first, but will have great chemistry. All She Wants has all of those elements and more.

Tessa Dalton has entered a contest she means to win. She wants to be the new wedding planner for a very popular resort in Colorado, and winning this contest will make that dream come true. Her plan may be threatened by a one night stand filled with mind blowing sex with a beautiful stranger. Things become problematical when she finds out the next day that the stranger is Marci Jones, the liaison for the contest crew leaders. Tessa is a crew leader. Thus begins a pretty complex and complicated plot.
I enjoyed this book. I connected with the characters and could easily see the chemistry between the two. That is a must for me to enjoy this type of tale. There is some angst through the story, and sometimes I didn’t agree with some of the main characters’ actions, but that happens in real life too so I can’t complain. I can tell you that this is a good steamy love story that was fun to read. If you like your romances steamy with strong, brash characters, then this might be the book for you.

I received an ARC from NetGalley and Bold Strokes Books for an honest review.

Rainbow Reflections:
https://rainbowreflections.home.blog/

This is a read about letting go and moving on after a failed marriage. As the story unfolds, the reader is pulled down with Marci Jones and up with Wendy, her best friend. Then there is Tessa Dalton, with a single focus, going after what she wants or thinks she wants. This read has drama, sex, more drama, and more sex. The plot to some extent was interesting with a focus on finding self, determining what success is, forgiveness, letting go, and moving on. Good read if you are in the mood for steamy "you like me best on my knees". What a line...

This book was your typical lesbian romcom content. Marci & Tessa are the main characters, who are back and forth in and out of a relationship that started out as short term. Of course, as they begin spending more time together, the short term becomes not the goal. There is plenty of steamy scenes and back and forth in and out of the relationship.
If you want a quick read that will transport you to the beautiful outdoors (Colorado), this is the book for you!

An honest review thanks to NetGalley. This was a great read, I personally love Larkin Rose so I went into this book with high expectations. I was so happy that Rose met these expectations and didn't leave me disappointed. The only issue I had with this book was that there wasn't just one miscommunication but three or four. After the second one, I was getting annoyed with both characters not listening to the other, making assumptions and running their mouths. Other than this small issue I was consumed by this book, the idea of a wedding planner competition was massively original and like all of Rose's books, the chemistry between the two characters were off the chart. At the end, I did want to know more about Tessa's sister and a book about her next would make this exceptional!

This book tells the story of two women who clearly do not want a relationship. There is Tessa who has a goal of being a success in her career as an event planner and at this point in her life she can see the end step insight and does not want any distraction to take away from her achieving her goal. The other woman is Marci who is working through a heartbreak of having an end to her marriage that she very much wanted. But when she found her wife in bed with someone else she had nothing to do but leave and make sure that no woman ever got close enough to her again break her heart. Marci feels that she is damaged goods and is only interested in one night anonymous sex. She finds herself at a bar and ends up picking up a woman and taking her home for fantastic sex. There was somewhat of a connection between these two women, but both knew it was a one night stand and nothing else. Imagine both of their surprise when they realize the next day that they will be working together on a project that could get Tessa her goal as a successful events planner.
Even though these two know that nothing could ever become a stable relationship for them they can’t stay away from one another. However Marci continues to blame everyone including herself for the break up of her marriage and the pain that is still with her. Tessa does everything in her power to try to talk Marci out of her fear of being in a relationship. Is that even possible? Who should you be angry with when someone that you’re in love with has an affair with someone else?

Tessa Dalton, wedding event planner has been in partnership with her sister and now wants to make it on her own. She enters a wedding planner competition and winning this competition will almost guarantee her a successful business.  Marci Jones has been burnt in love, she found her wife of ten years in their bed with a much younger woman and a year on she's still bitter and has not dealt with the fallout. As a favour to her best friend who is running the wedding planner competition Marci steps in and acts as liaison for the competition crew and thus she crosses paths with Tessa.
Larkin's books are known for their eroticism but this book falls short if that's what this book is aiming for, the MCs have plenty of sex, we know that because we're told that but apart from one or two descriptive scenes early on, that is as much as we get, there's no detail in the sex scenes so we miss the emotion that draws you into the characters and the book and the whole point of reading an erotica book. 
The whole wedding event competition just didn't make a lot of sense to me, I couldn't understand the premise and why it was so important, it was only much later in the story we were became aware it was actually for a reality TV show.  If only we given this information from the start I think I would have enjoyed the storyline so much more.
My other issue was the way the characters spoke and dealt with each other during their supposedly smouldering yet heated conversations which I felt were disrespectful and I also felt like I was witnessing a catfight between a couple of teenagers, case in point, "Tessa courtseyed, shot her a bird". Seriously! They have an argument and Tessa finishes it off by giving Marci the finger, not exactly the maturity levels I'd expect for a couple of adults.
This book was not for me but I can see how some people would certainly rate it much higher. I've read other books by Larkin and have enjoyed them more.

I genuinely really liked this book. The story remained interesting the whole way through, though a little bit predictable. This being an erotica novel, I expect there to be a lot of sex and little plot, but this one delivered on both fronts. The sex scenes were tasteful and the attraction between the two main characters felt believable. I liked that a couple of sex scenes were alluded too instead of described in detail. It helped the story flow more smoothly.

One small detail did feel a little off though. The fact that the party planning contest was a reality tv competition wasn't a factor at all in the book until the very end. This didn't really hurt the story in any way, just something that I feel could have been made more apparent in the earlier parts of the book.

Overall I really enjoyed this book. It was interesting and well written.

All she wants promised erotica... But it was more of a romance book. Not that it's a bad thing , but I hate misgenred books.

The plot was intriguing and the book was fast paced. I enjoyed it very well.

Tessa and Marci overcoming Marco's trust issues were so cliche. I swear everytime I pick up an erotica , an older woman with amazing sex drive has trust issues and a walked out ex . It drives me crazy.

Tessa was headstrong , bold and awesome.

Thanks NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to review this e-ARC.

2.5 Stars. This book was just okay. It is about Tessa Dalton, a wedding planner who is competing in a contest to win the job for an exclusive resort in Colorado. She just has eight weeks to prove herself as the best crew leader and the job is hers. The night before the contest starts, Tessa decides to sleep with a sexy woman at the bar. This woman turns out to be Marci Jones, the liaison for all the crew leaders. Marci and Tessa do not know who each other is when they sleep together in a night neither one of them want to forget. Marci has issues with trust, since 6 months ago she walked in on her wife sleeping with a younger woman in her own bed. She packed up her life in Arizona and moved back to Colorado to be near her best friend, Wendy, who is running the contest.

This book was okay, the plot was thin and not great. This book had a lot of descriptive sex in the beginning but only the beginning. This book was a little of a disappointment. It was not well written or the story line was not very flushed out or developed very well. The character of Marci just frustrated me the entire novel as she was stubborn and did not make a lot of sense. Every time there was drama with Marci, it seemed very dump and petty and was not well developed. I did not understand it or did not want to read about it. I do not recommend this novel at all I hope her other books are better

This book has been slightly better than the previous ones that I've read from this author and I'm really pleased to say it. Because her first books were of great value for me and then she stoped writing for a while and her new books had been a bit disapointing for me. But not so much has happened with this one and for that I'm glad. Their stories are not characterized by being very complex or having characters with a lot of depth, but they have always been consistent and pleasant and full of steam pieces. And from my point of view in this new book, she gets it quite a bit.

The subject of the book is a kind of contest in which several teams fight for the job of event planner at a resort located in the Colorado mountains. As part of one of the teams is Tessa, who has always wanted to work and live in the environment where the resort is located. And the other main character is Marci, who has returned to Colorado fleeing from a wife who has been unfaithful to her,a wife for whom she left behind her dreams and now she has to start again at her best friend’s resort. Marci and Tess have a first encounter accidentally and before the contest begins and that makes the things a bit complicated from then because Marci is a kind of reliance between the contestants and the resort management. Marci and Tess have a first encounter accidentally and before the contest begins and that makes the things a bit complicated from then because Marci is a kind of reliance between the contestants and the resort management. You know, conlict of interess and all that.And there are also more complications when a particular person, known by both women, enters the picture. More drama for sure.

But I think it has the right amount of drama, hotness and romance to make it quite nice as a whole. I liked it a lot.

I love the kicking ass and taking names vibe of this whole book. It lights a strong fire under you and gives you the courage to go find your own true love. It's spunky, energetic., and often times laugh out loud funny. I loved each and every character and the feelings they all portrayed. I love that everyone found their happy ending and match. It made my heart all warm and fuzzy and it's a feeling I will want to come back to again and again. This is an easy read and is sure to please even the toughest woman . It gives you the feeling of seriously wanting to fight for each character and their chance at finding true love and when they do find it, you want to get up and cheer cause it's more than just the contest that they've won. They've won at life. At love. The passion and flair of it all, the ending. It made me want to do a happy dance both in my heart and soul. Serious winner in my book. 5/5 stars

All She Wants as just okay for me. I have only read a couple other Rose romances and one was a hit and the other a miss. I grabbed this one because I tend like reading erotica and this one was in that category. So let me touch on the erotica aspect of this one first. As erotica, I think this one was more of a miss than a hit. There is plenty of sex in All She Wants, but I can't say it was a great sex. I don't expect all of the sex to be shown, but the ones I do read, I want them to be creative and from both sides. I didn't really get that reading this. They weren't bad, they just weren't that good. In terms of the romance side, I just didn't feel like the two MCs connected enough to want to be together. I also wasn't a fan of Tessa getting on her sister Monty for having one night stands, but she has one. I didn't get that at all. Overall, I liked both MC (Tessa and Marci), but I just needed more to see a true connection between them (other than sex).

I will rate this one 2.5 stars.

This book is a sexy, entertaining read without spending too much time on unnecessary drawn-out angst.

Tessa Dalton runs a wedding venue with her sister Michelle in Arizona, but wants to fly on her own. Opportunity beckons her in form of a reality-show-like contest for event planners organised by a luxury destination resort in Colorado owned by Wendi. Marci Jones is Wendi’s bestie. Marci had fallen for one of the resort’s guests, Ashley, and taken off after her to Arizona. Eleven years later (of which Marci and Ashley were married for nine), Marci found Ashley in bed with another woman and walked away from her cheating wife and marriage without a word. She is broken and resultantly wants to have the minimum to do with people. Wendi saves her butt by giving her a back office job in the resort. For the contest, Marci is assigned to be the liaison person, only in-charge of making booking and facilitating requirements, for the contesting teams. Tessa is single-mindedly focussed on winning and Marci is single-mindedly focussed on being rather ridiculously self-protective.

The book is listed as erotica and lust is what drives the MCs together most of the time. But the lust is all good. Tessa is super-sexy, sassy and quite yummy. Marci…*shrug*…really she evokes nothing. Wendi however…she is some kind of a super-friend who creates a whole new dream business for Marci with zero input or expectation from the latter. In fact, there is surely another book about Wendi and Tessa’s philandering sister, Monty coming soon. We’re rather looking forward to that one too.

It is listed as erotica and surely, the characters are driven by lust. Do not expect too much emotion or character development from this one – but it completely delivers on being a light read with sexy times.

I received an ARC copy of this book from the Publisher via Netgalley and voluntarily leaving my review.

Tessa is on a mission to win a contest to become new wedding planner resorts in Colorado.

Wendy is the planner of this contest but when one of her workers can't make it her friend Marci decide to help her out.

Tessa and Marci meet at a bar Tessa decide to take a page out of her sister Monty book and to have a one night stand Marci is trying to ease pain from what her wife did.

They had a night that either one of them can't forget and when they meet again it shock them both that they are going to be seeing each other as Marci is the liaison for the contest crew leaders.

It was a good read for what it was the sex scenes was hot. I like Tessa because she doesn't sugar-coated her words. Marci just frustrate me and love Wendy as she badger Marci.

hmm, thought all the book i was thinking "would I be the only one reading this and hate Merci," I disliked her so much. One more thing the book speaks mostly about sex. they want it they think it they do it they go back to it over and over again. I did not see any character development Kinda disappointed.

If your looking for that kind of books I recommend it but if your looking for story with character development. I dont

it's well written though

I have to be perfectly honest here, I've come to realize that Rose just isn't my favorite style of author.

Let me try to explain... If you've ever read a Rose book before, this is going to sound familiar. Her style seems to be heavy on the erotica, light on the plot, add in angst and stir a tiny bit. This book is no exception. It's very heavy on the sexual tension between MCS, light on plot, with little or no real connection between MCs before they fall into bed together. There's little real connection outside of sex between characters, and no real character development. The way it comes across to the reader is that the MCs fall in 'love' on the basis of their sex life alone.

I did enjoy the attempted plot in this one (what plot there was) more than some of Rose's other books. In this story, one MC is a contestant who's trying to win the job of her dreams as a resort event planner. Unfortunately though, there just wasn't enough there for me to get fully interested in this story. The plot is secondary to the sex, the character's inner turmoil was seriously repetitive, the build up in their relationship was all about sex, sex, sex.

If you're looking for this type of book where the story is heavy on the sexual relationship but lighter on emotion and plot, this is likely a good book for you. For me, I'd rather more emotional connection and actual plot in my reads. 2.25 stars.
