Review: With Everything I Am by Kristen Ashley
Pages: November 21, 2012
Kristen Ashley excels is at painting a sweet and spicy romance between her hot males and kooky females, be they werewolves, Rock Chicks, vampires, police officers or bikers, and this book did just that and I devoured every page of it. ~ Under the Covers
Sonia Arlington has always been a bit…weird, her sense of hearing, sight and smell are all heightened and she an uncanny way with animals, all this she must hide, afraid that the world will think she is a freak. She also has re-occurring dreams about her wolf and a handsome man; her dream man, and even though she knows he isn’t real she longs for him. Callum is the King of Werewolves and Sonia is his mate, even if she doesn’t know it she was born for him, they even have a Prophecy stating they are one of the three couples that must meet to save mankind from being subjugated, meaning there is more at stake then just their hearts…
What a relief!! Although I worship at the alter of Kristen Ashley, I really really didn’t like the first book in the series Until the Sun Falls from the Sky, Lucian, the hero rubbed me the wrong way, HOWEVER, I would just looove to rub myself all over Callum the sexy werewolf and hero of With Everything I Am. He was a classic Kristen Ashley hero, arrogant, high handed but leg splittingly sexy and gruffly sweet.
What I love about these books (and all Kristen Ashley books really) is that although there is a massive plot to enslave all humankind what it unashamedly focuses on is the romance going on between Sonia and Callum and doesn’t really go into the whole humans-as-slaves thing. For some people I know this may sound odd, but where Kristen Ashley excels is at painting a sweet and spicy romance between her hot males and kooky females, be they werewolves, Rock Chicks, vampires, police officers or bikers, and this book did just that and I devoured every page of it.
With Everything I Am was a really enjoyable read, with humour, romance and some fabulous characters to get stuck into, I really hope this ends up being more then a trilogy and some of the secondary characters get a chance at a book as well *hint hint Kristen, in case you are reading!*

Man, I really, REALLY, need to find the time to read ONE of Kristen’s books. I keep hearing great things about her writing. Great review!
Thanks 🙂 I have been obsessed with Kristen Ashley this year, you definitely need to give one of her series a try, I always have a soft spot for her Dream Man series and her Colorado Mountain one 🙂

I read Motorcycle Man and need to read more from Kristen Ashley.
Motorcycle Man is one of my all time fave books of hers! I loved Tack, nothing hotter then a sexy biker!
