Mia Sheridan

Then Gabriel Dalton walks into her life. Despite the terrible darkness of his past, there's an undeniable goodness in him. And even though she knows the cost, Crystal finds herself drawn to Gabriel. His quiet strength is wearing down her defenses and his gentle patience is causing her to question everything she thought she knew. Only love can mend a shattered heart . . .

Most of All You

From the New York Times bestselling author of Archer's Voice comes a heart-wrenching new stand-alone contemporary romance. A broken woman . . . Crystal learned long ago that love brings only pain. Feeling nothing at all is far better than being hurt again. She guards her wounded heart behind a hard exterior and carries within her a deep mistrust of men, who, in her experience, have only ever used and taken. A man in need of help . . . Then Gabriel Dalton walks into her life. Despite the terrible darkness of his past, there's an undeniable goodness in him. And even though she knows the cost, Crystal finds herself drawn to Gabriel. His quiet strength is wearing down her defenses and his gentle patience is causing her to question everything she thought she knew. Only love can mend a shattered heart . . . Crystal and Gabriel never imagined that the world, which had stolen everything from them, would bring them a deep love like this. Except fate will only take them so far, and now the choice is theirs: Harden their hearts once again or find the courage to shed their painful pasts.

This was definitely a emotional romance that has some traumatic events. I do think there should be a content warning page about everything that happens in this book before one reads it. I really enjoyed a good amount of it but I do think some of it felt drawn out and was very repetitive in some areas for me. It was a good read but it’s hard to really love other books by Mia Sheridan since Archer’s Voice is the pinnacle it has to look up to for me.

Ms. Sheridan knows how to make people crying. this book holds so much meaning. even though it is not as good as Archer's Voice, I am still fond for the book. this book is about healing, letting go, and growth, which I think they are beautiful components of the book. past may be unkind, but past along though how we face the future. with that being said, this book reserved a place in my heart.

This book is definitely so underrated. I think I like it more than Archer’s Voice! I don’t even know how to explain my love for it, but I can say I definitely recommend reading this story!

This was an enjoyable read but it was very different from  Archer's Voice, which was the first, and only, book I read by  Mia Sheridan. I liked  Archer's Voice more than this one but this one was still a good read, in my opinion. 

The first chapter had me hooked! The first chapter gives you some background history on our main character, Ellie. After the first chapter, which is sort of a flashback from Ellie's childhood, the reader is in present day. The first half of this book was slow for me. The first half is setting up a lot of the dynamic between our two main characters, Ellie and Gabriel. The "relationship" between Ellie and Gabriel in the first half of the book felt very unrealistic to me and definitely insta-lovey. 

But, the last half was much better. I loved the aspect of their story that dealt with healing and growing independently and coming together for a second chance romance. I really liked how she took the time for herself without relying on anyone else. I also liked how Gabriel loved her unconditionally. He let her have space and the time that she needed and loved her through everything. He was always there for her building her up and caring for her, even when people were degrading towards her because of her occupation. I enjoyed the last half of this book far better than the first half.

*Note: This book deals with a lot of heavy topics, such as: death, loss, grief. Trigger warnings: abuse, sexual assault, rape

Actual rating 3.5 Stars

Loved the story, definitely like the build-up more than the second half. Gabriel outlook on life and how he approaches the world despite what awful things he experienced as a child is beautiful, I like seeing how both of them had very different approaches to dealing with their trauma. Ellie giving up on herself and accepting all these bad things that happened to her and then meeting someone like Gabriel who makes her realize she has the power to not let the things that happen define her. I did enjoy a lot about their relationship, but parts just fell flat for me at times.

the only reason this isn’t 5 stars is because I could tell the plot twist from ages away xx

Why does every Mia Sheridan book make me sob goodbye

Ashley Janssen

The first half was really strong but it gets a bit convoluted in the second half. I lost the suspension of disbelief often. The H was also a bit too perfect and the depth of their relationship felt too fast and overdone.

Let me start by saying I absolutely ADORED Archers Voice which is what prompted me to pick up another Mia Sheridan. Unfortunately, this wasn’t it for me. I disliked pretty much everything about this book. Full disclosure, I DNF’d at 71% after the shaving scene (100% not a trope for me). I won’t go too into detail but I didn’t find the characters believable. I didn’t particularly like or care about either character as I really didn’t feel like either had much of a voice. and while I can appreciate the trauma that Ellie went through, I can’t connect with weak FMCs. I also didn’t find the relationship believable - very insta-love - and tbh it seems very toxic or has the potential to be very toxic. Both of these people are incredibly damaged and they both need intensive therapy because of their pasts, not a relationship. you can’t truly love someone else until you love yourself which neither of these characters has done yet. Instead this is the story of how they find salvation and learn to love themselves from each other. Which in theory is lovely but in reality it just doesn’t work like that. And in fact typically ends in a co-dependent toxic relationship. Gabriel has all the power and although he’s not abusive at all, you can already see the fine line this could run up against. 

So overall, this may be a win for others, I could see that. But for me I didn’t find the story believable, endearing, or cute. Instead I had ick-vibes the entire time.

This book was so beautiful yet again by Mia Sheridan, a story about healing and learning to live with your trauma and how to grow with it and yourself. So beautifully written cried my eyes out at the end and that epilogue a lovely conclusion to the story of two damaged people who learned to love themselves and each other.

This book was beautiful 
That's my review

Somewhat sappy and predictable. Everything nicely tied up and in bows by the end ...

Ciska van Bokhorst

Dit boek kwam voor mij niet goed uit de verf. En gaf me een depressief gevoel. Zijn zware onderwerpen maar vond de uitvoering te oppervlakkig. Miste iets wat de weegschaal weer in balans bracht. Iets waar Colleen Hoover wel goed in is....

It's been ages since I finished reading Most of All You and I still struggle to put my feelings about it into words. It wasn't the easiest book to read at times and heavens knows it dragged all kinds of emotions from me, but it was such a gorgeous and hopeful book. I just couldn't help but love it. Everything about it. Even the really hard to read parts, because they all happened for a reason. 

I'm not going to tell you much about this one. If you've ever read any of Mia Sheridan's books, you know it's best to go in as blind as possible and trust she's going to deliver an amazing story. She's never once disappointed me. In fact, it seems like more often than not she ends up telling me the exact story I needed — even if I didn't know what I needed going in. That was definitely the case with Most of All You. It's tough to beat out Archer's Voice as my favorite of her books, but this one very well could've done it. (Ok and if not, it's totally a tie for first.) It's a beautiful book, one I truly think everyone should take the time to read. 

I received a copy of this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.

FAVORITE QUOTES

Sometimes we wore such hurtful, limiting labels in this life, whether they'd been assigned by others or by ourselves. I'd felt damaged and ruined once, but I didn't anymore. I was still a work in progress, but I wasn't a victim. I was a survivor. 

"I knew you were an angel. I knew you were. Don't cry, my angel. Don't cry. Not for me."

"I don't create beauty, Eloise, I just reveal what's already there."

"I'm still a work in progress. I suppose I always will be."
"We all are, sweetheart. All of us."

Mia Sheridan is a new to me author. I have heard about her before but had not read any of her books until just recently.

I have read Most Of All You just a few days ago and I have to say that I very happy that I have read it because this book is sooo good.

Most Of All You is such a well written and emotional book that got me hooked from the very beginning. 

I give this a 5 out of 5.

Heartbreaking, emotional, and so, so sweet! Review to come!
