Passion. Mystery. It all collides in the breathtaking conclusion to the New York Times bestselling Inside Out series, ALL OF ME.
He's rich and famous, his past dark, but so is hers. Can they save each other? Or will the darkness tear them apart?
Entering the kitchen, I find Chris leaning on the marble countertop by the coffeepot, shirtless and in his pajama bottoms, the long strands of his blond hair a wild, sexy mess I’m pretty sure I created last night.
He glances up from the paper he’s reading, then picks up his coffee cup. “Morning, Ms. McMillan.”
“Morning, Mr. Merit,” I reply, grinning as I join him.
He offers me his coffee cup and I happily accept it, taking a drink of the perfectly flavored coffee and creamer. Sharing a cup with Chris has this sexy, intimate feel to it that always does funny things to my belly.
“Your last day as a free woman,” he comments.
“Why? Are you planning to tie me up sometime soon?”
He covers my hands on his cup. “Is that an objection, or wishful thinking?” He tilts the cup and drinks, his eyes never leaving mine.
“I plead the Fifth. It’s more fun that way.”
“That it is,” he agrees, but a sigh follows. “I wish I could do the same, but you’d better look at
the newspaper.” He sets the cup on the counter, then hands me the Arts section of the local
paper.
Dread fills me as I read the headline: “Acclaimed Artist and Philanthropist Chris Merit to wed
Sara McMillan on Valentine’s Day in Star-studded Event in Sonoma.” I set it down. “We went to so much trouble to get the press off our backs before the wedding, and now they’ve found us! I knew when all these famous people showed up on the guest list, it was going to turn into a zoo.”
“Walker Security anticipated the press, and they’re staffed and ready for it. It’ll be fine. We’ll be shielded.”
Nerves the size of birds, not butterflies, attack my stomach.
“We should have eloped.”
“We still can. Let’s do it. Now. Today.”
“We can’t elope,” I say, sounding appalled, as if he’d suggested it, not me. “People who respect you are coming a long way to see us. And Katie has planned this for months.”
“Baby, we can do whatever we want. This is our day.”
“No. We can’t. Not this far into this. Which reminds me— you can’t stay here tonight. It’s bad luck to see the bride the night before the wedding.”
“I told you how I feel about that. We make our own luck.”
“Chris—”
He kisses me. “I’m staying here tonight, and I’m fucking you like I won’t see you ever again,
just to be sure you walk down that aisle.”
“If you’re waiting for me at the end of that aisle, I’ll be there. And if you’re staying here tonight, we can use separate bedrooms.”
“Does today count as part of that eve-of-the-wedding rule?”
“Yes.”
He scoops me up and I yelp. “What are you doing?”
“I’m a renegade, baby. Let’s go break the rules.”
This is magnificent conclusion to a series that has had me hooked for months. The mystery of Rebecca's disappearance has now been resolved. During the course of our story, our main characters have changed, grown, re-evaluated their priorities, faced their demons, and somehow found their path in life. Some have moved on to create a better life, others have yet to survive the pain and suffering they experienced during the course of this story.
This final book focuses on Chris and Sara. Their relationship, which was very fragile at best in the beginning, has survived insurmountable obstacles. Chris' need for pain and punishment to deal with his guilt has been one of the obstacles most difficult to control. Sara has been his salvation and outlet since giving up the whip to deal with his problems. Her patience and support have opened the door for Chris to hope for a better life. Her love has embraced him with the safety of her commitment to him. She has willingly given him "all of her" and he in return has reciprocated in like.
Sara is now stronger and has come into her own. She is an independent thinker, strong in her belief that she is autonomous, without allowing the ghosts of her past to dictate her future. The love she shares with Chris has freed her to step out of her shell and into a world that can only improve and offer a wide horizon of possibilities. Together, Sara and Chris share their strength and support for each other, allowing them to survive any weak moments that may arise as they begin a new life together.
Mark and Crystal, Chantal and Rex, even Tristan... have all dealt with their demons. Some successfully others not so well. One loose end remains... where is Ella? Is she alive. I hope our author provides us a story in the not too distant future. Ella remains a mystery yet to be solved and curious minds cannot help but wander what in the heck happened to her!
