Product Information

Dec wants more. He can see'em (with her brother, Dec's so sweet!) as a family.

Views of eachother change. Caring, Swoons & Steamy times (Hot🔥) happen. Murphy+Sabrina Spend time together & grow close. Nattie and Brady were the perfect couple. Not just because they understood each other, but they always were willing to put others happiness before their own. And the way that they cared for their family and friends. They bought out the best in each other. And you could see whenever they were together, that they were meant for one another!Going into this book I knew it was going to be a brilliant but hard read...I mean what duet isn't...and this time (if you are already a Matthews fan) you're already invested in the characters...but I never expected it to destroy me the way it did. I definitely recommend reading More Than a Game!Especially if you have already read the first book All Inin The Kings of Kroydon Hillsseries! The thing is Cooper and their eldest brother, Declan have a love for football, like their dad. They live, eat, and breathe it. Nat has never felt that way. She had always had her twin with her, but he transferred from their school in, California, to Kroydon Hills Prep. Then, halfway through last year, right after their dad got a new position. Coop made the change leaving her alone. Her mom a model, had retired, and she was used to traveling and missing it, so she is doing that now, traveling. Nat barely saw her, which was nothing new. Declan is in his junior year at Notre Dame. Coop and her Dad are on the other side of the country, she was beginning to hate being, in California. The reason the was still in Cali missing everyone is the summer intensive, and now it's what she can't wait for it to be over. She did realize something, she wasn’t living her best life, she was just going through the motions. She didn’t love ballet anymore. Nat just loved being good at it. She has a plan, and it's easy. Start living life. That's number one.

But their relationship is a tangled web that they are trying to navigate around. Their parents are married to each other, and Cooper is her brother's best friend. Trying to figure out their feelings and relationship under THAT microscope is not going to be easy. It also does not help that Cooper is a Navy SEAL, who gets deployed at a drop of a hat. Murphy has started to wonder if life has to be more than a game. And after a few encounters with Sabrina not only does he discover she is the most selfless, smart, caring, and beautiful woman he has met, he starts to realise that maybe just maybe Sabrina is his End Game.

Risks We Take Book Covers

The story starts with Brady meeting Natalie. They both have this Crazy pull but knowing She's Off-limits, as her twin Brother Cooper is Brady's Football Teammate & Her dad's his Coach, Brady tries to fight it. But it's HARD. Carys Murphy, I just loved her. Her spirit and energy. The pressure put on you by family and friends to be one thing or the other she experienced is one I felt to my core. I was so happy to see Carys just go all in for what and who she wanted out of life.

Like watching a rose blossom, this is a beautiful story of friendship growing only to fully blossom into love. This story is about Sabrina 'Brina' and Aiden 'Murph.' These two have known each other and have been part of the same friend group for many years. They have that love/hate relationship where shade, snark and banter is their main form of communication. Their chemistry was beautiful but also damn explosive! Especially considering the type of girl Brina is and appears to be on the outside, I did not expect that boldness from her. Props to her for showing not only herself, but also Murph there’s more to her than meets the eye. And if she wants something she will go after it. Which is proven time and time again when her and Murph come together in the bedroom and the shower with their loving and lustful acts of passion. Murphy and Brina together? This is the kind of love that lasts for ages! The kind everyone strives for and most rarely get it!Sweet, Romantic, Cute, Hot, Steamy, Hilarious, Cheesy, Emotional etc Everything you could’ve wanted and more! There's so much I want to say, but I refuse to spoil anything. But I need part two like I need my next breath. Think I can bargain with Bella? Lmao The start (1/3 rd) of this story runs chronologically with the events of " More Than A Game". Same Incidents, Different perspective & view!–– Sometimes New Adult/Young Adult fiction is too whiney and emo for my tastes, but All In is not like that. Sure, there's some angst, a little drama, but they behave like fairly mature, non-whiney teens, and don't act as if the world revolves around themselves solely. Natalie and Brady are both such great characters and once they get together, are even better. I loved them together and their story. The 4 stars rather than 5 is only because I felt the ending was a little incomplete and a tad rushed. Everything else is well-written and the characters are amazing, though. The secondary cast is just as interesting as Brady and Natalie and I can see a really entertaining series coming with all their stories.
