About the Book
Book title: All of You
Author: Sarah Monzon
Release date: May 15, 2017
Genre:Dual-timeline/Contemporary Romance
Maryland, Present Day
Jacquelyn Rogers can rebuild anything…except the shambles of her past. A restorer of vintage planes, she’s worked hard to earn the reputation of being one of the guys. The last thing she needs is a former Navy pilot fighting his own inner demons stepping in to defend her from dangers she thought she’d outrun long ago. Some battles must be fought alone.
After a freak accident severs Lieutenant Michael “Finch” Carrington’s dreams, as well as two limbs, he’s left with nothing but a fragile faith and a duty-bound promise to watch out for his friend’s baby sister. A promise she insists is as unnecessary as it is unappreciated. But when she turns the tables and begins to weld together the broken parts of his life, it may be his heart that is in need of protection.
England, 1944
With the world at war yet again, Alice Galloway rejects her father’s traditional expectations and offers her piloting expertise to the Air Transport Auxiliary. She may be a woman in a man’s world, but when she overhears key intelligence, she must find the strength to transcend boundaries and her own fears. Or countless people may die.
Sometimes the past reaches forward to bring hope to the future.
My Review:
"All of You" by Sarah Monzon is the second book in the (A Carrington Family Novel)series. You can enjoy "All Of You" without reading "Finders Keeper" the first book in the series. I will say that I'm glad I read "Finders Keeper" first because two of the four main characters have a little more of their story in " All of You". Trust me, if you want to know how Summer and Trent get to where they are in "All Of You" "Finders Keepers" is a wonderful five star book that will keep you turning the pages till the end.
Ok, this review is supposed to be about "All of You" and it is also an exciting read that will make you want to keep turning the pages. These books are really two stories in one book.
I like how Sarah Monzon goes from Present Day in Maryland to England, 1944. I really love how she brings the two together at the end of the story.
"All Of You" has danger in both storylines, Jack's is from a former exboyfriend and Alice is a pilot in the war so danger from enemies and Michael was injured from an accident and who is really Henry! So as you can tell "All Of You" has a little bit of intensity and I can't forget to say "All Of You" also has clean love stories mixed in.
"All Of You" has moments that made me rejoice but a couple of times, the scenes made me sad.
I don't have a favorite character from the story, I like them all. But, as in all stories, there is one character that I don't like and in "All Of You" it is Mitch. Although, I didn't like Mitch, I have to be honest and say that in a way he was important to the story because without Mitch, Jack and Michael probably wouldn't have met, so I guess if you read this review you can say I have mixed feelings about the character named Mitch, but I still say he is a bad guy.
I recommend "All Of You" to anyone that likes clean romances with a spiritual theme . I have underlined a few quotes in my kindle copy because even though the book is fictional it has truth about God and though at times it is hard to see, He does have everything under control.
I have added Sarah Monzon's other books to my to be read list.
Thank you to Sarah Monzon and Celebrate Lit for my complimentary copy and these opinions are my own.
Definitely a five stars novel.

Guest Post from Sarah Monzon
I’m so excited to be here today and getting this opportunity to hang out with y’all in this virtual world. If you are anything like me, you devour books faster than my son drinks orange juice (and he really loves orange juice!). Because of that, it is sometimes hard to come across a book with a unique premise or a message that you haven’t seen incorporated a thousand times before. As a writer, I always try to bring something fresh to the table.
In the first book of the Carrington Family Series, Finders Keepers, neither of my characters were Christians. What? No Christians in a Christian fiction novel? Most Christian fiction books usually have at least one or both main characters a Christians. Don’t worry, they both found their way to Jesus. With All of You, however, I wanted to take yet an even different approach.
I’ve ready lots of books where the main character is angry or upset with God for such-and-such thing that happened in his/her life (I’ve even written a character like that), but I hadn’t really read a story about a character that, no matter what life threw at him/her, he/she was going to trust in God no matter what. As a life-long Christian, this is a message I can identify with. The “If not, He is still good” resonation that is sometimes harder to hold on to in the midst of pain and struggles.
So, as with all my books, I hope the freshness of the story and the realness of my characters will inspire and uplift you as you travel along with them on their journey.
God Bless.
