REVIEW:
Kimberly White has done it again with an action packed romance novel in
ALL THE WAY.
Payton Vaughn is on the run for her life after witnessing her boss order a
murder when she stumbles into the path of investigative reporter Adriano
Norwood. Adriano can’t believe his luck when he discovers Payton Vaughn is the
eyewitness to the story he is working on to put away drug lord Sherman Grazicky.
Adriano is a little reluctant to get involved with Payton after being chased by
thugs and having his life endangered several times in one night. Together they
are trying to stay alive and solve the mysteries surrounding Sherman Grazicky.
Kimberly White keeps you in suspense with this action thriller. The story is
well developed and filled with constant action; you can’t wait to find out how
Payton and Adriano are going to get out of another jam.
Payton has the tough girl appearance on the outside, but is really a sensitive
woman. She can think quickly on her feet and isn’t afraid to stand up for what
she believes in even, if her life is in danger. Payton is determined to protect
her loved ones-- even if it means she must sacrifice herself. Adriano appears to
be all male with his large frame, but he has a warm heart. He never expects to
fall in love, least of all with a woman who tried to kidnap him. He is
determined to protect Payton even if it means sacrificing his happiness for what
he thinks is hers. Their friends and family really help to shoe how much love
and support others provide for us especially-- in our time of need. The other
characters in the book are developed well, helping to show how quickly our
lives, and those of our family and friends, can change just by witnessing an
event.
The story takes place in Charlotte, North Carolina. The setting changes as the
couple runs for their safety. The small towns throughout North and South
Carolina helps the plot unfold by allowing us to see how the couple is able to
seek shelter from those seeking to do them harm. The dialogue is fundamental to
the story. You’re able to visualize the differences between the characters and
their backgrounds. The continuous flow of dialogue helps the story to move along
at a steady pace.
ALL THE WAY
is an excellent novel. You will not be able to put it down. Kimberly White has
added just the right amount of action, suspense and romance to keep you turning
pages late into the night. I recommend you read this novel where there is
nothing available to interrupt you.
