Book Review: All the Stops

 

A stalled elevator, an unrequited crush, and the chance for everything to change.

McKinley Finnegan’s unrequited crush on her brother’s best friend Jack Langdon has gone on long enough. When he asks for her help with her brother’s surprise party, she promises herself this is it — if Jack doesn’t notice her at the party, she’s done for good.

Jack has always avoided encouraging MK’s crush, convinced he wasn’t the settling-down type. Party planning brought them closer together, but even with their daily talks, he still wasn’t prepared for seeing her face to face. Or the newfound feelings that ignited when they met again in person.

As the nignt winds down, the two stay to cleanup. Jack puts his foot in his mouth, making for a tense ride to her hotel where he insists on on escorting her to her room. When the elevator stalls, he has to decide — keep his mouth shut and risk losing Mk forever or pull all the stops and go for it by putting his heart on the line.

The Shafted Series is a collection of short, standalone, in-elevator romances that can be read in any order.


My Review
OMG. I love, LOVED this novella. I have not read the other books in this series, but I am now going to have to go back and check them out. This novella can be read as a standalone. 

Who would not want to be "stuck" in an elevator with their crush. At least while you are passing the time until the firefighters come and rescue you, you will have someone to look at and maybe something will happen and you will end up sharing a kiss or two. Just ask McKinley. 

This is what happens to her. Jack finally recognizes that McKinley is more than his best friend's sister. One thing leads to another and before you know it, these two are hot and heavy. 

This novella will have you needing a cold glass of water to cool down from all the steamy goodness!
