Catch Hold Of All That You Are (Moretti, #3) Conceptualized By Stef Ann Holm Readily Available As Leaflet

really felt this book was more of a,star read, but I bumped it up because this lady has written many books that I just loved reading, This one however, I was lukewarm about the female lead was not likable, the leading man was too arrogant, and some of the peripheral characters were predictable and cliche, I won't stop reading this author's stories because she definitely has talent, but this will not be a book I put on my "favorites" list, Great little love story. I hated to see the book end, Read on iphone Single mom Danalee Jackson owns the Blue Notean Alaskan bar offering nightly jazz and a cocktail of regulars who have an opinion about everything, Between dealing with her son's dad, a failing floatplane business and her bar's code violations, Dana has no time for romance,

Mark Moretti is burnedout after finishing his father's legacy project, the multimilliondollar Grove Marketplace in downtown Boise, He's ready for a break from the family construction businessmaybe for good, And a summerlong fishing trip looks like just the ticket,

When a canceled flight leaves Mark stranded in Ketchikan, he finds himself at the Blue Note, One look at the exotically beautiful Dana and he decides to stay in town, But her fierce independence not only could jeopardize Mark's help with renovationsit could also bring their mutual attraction to a screeching halt,/stars
I generally like this author, but I found this story to be rather slowmoving and the characters were a little hard to connect to, The storyline tends to be repetitive, I really didn't feel like there was very much chemistry between the hero amp the heroine either, An ok read, but not great, Did not finish. Well, skimmed the last half, I wanted to like this, but there were too many clunkers in the prose and the male lead was a jerk who was sexually harassing the female lead as far as I was concerned.
From the very beginning I thoroughly enjoyed this book!

All That You Are is a really beautiful love story, not just a romantic love, but a familial love.
I enjoy a good romance, so I'm not complaining about the books that are the typical "Man sees woman, falls in love at first sight, Man sweeps woman off her feet and they live happily ever

after, " But this book is much more than that, The love that develops between Alaska native and bar owner Dana and visiting construction worker Mark takes some effort, There is chemistry from the beginning, but it's not always something they want to admit to, Mark is more willing than Dana, she definitely puts up walls and is skeptical,

Throughout the book you get to know Dana's young son and her widowed mother, helping you get a better understanding of Dana's past and why she wants to run from the chemistry brewing with Mark.
Mark shows his persistence and takes on the task of doing some major renovations to Dana's bar, free of charge, so that Dana will not have to suit the bar down due to code violations.
Initially Dana believes Mark has ulterior motives because who really does something that major just out of the goodness of their heart Throughout the renovations and Mark's time in Alaska he meets and gets to know Dana's mother and son, allowing Dana an honest glimpse at the man Mark really is.


In the end Dana's renovations are completed, the bar is in running order and doing great, And things end as the should with all characters involved, Great story!. I thought it was ok, A very enjoyable contemporary romance, The characters are welldeveloped, and I loved the Alaskan setting, Love Alaska and a romance in a town I've been to! I loved this book by Stef Ann Holm, All of the details put into the book about Ketchikan, Alaska bring the book to life, as well as the wonderful characters,

Dana and Marks love story was wonderful and was written so well, it just seemed so natural and beautiful, Terran, Cooper, Suni, Mariangela, Cardell, Leo, Sam, Bear, Presley, Walt, . . all of these people formed a "family" that made you feel warm in an Alaskian landscape,

I just listened to Benny Goodmans "Goodbye" that Dana played in the
Blue Note, I could imagine Dana playing it, and imagine how she was feeling about Marks leaving, A great romance story involving a single mom and bar owner in Alaska and a vacationing contractor from Idaho, The story provides lots of looks at secondary characters to help flesh out the main characters and their motivations, Interesting story, believable characters. Enjoyable. Warum kann ich keine halben Sterne vergeben Das Buch gefiel mir besser als die vorherigen der Reihe, aber die relativ spröde weibliche Hauptfigur hat dafür gesorgt, dass ich nicht ganz überzeugt bin.
