All I Have: Part One

Abbs Valley, Book 3

By: Ames Mills

Narrated by: Heather Firth, JD Tomlinson

Growing up as an outsider is never easy.

I was the product of an affair, and when my father stepped up to raise me, my mother handed me over, no questions asked.

I had my brother Luca and my niece Alessa; that's all I needed. When Luca passed away, it thrust Alessa and me into leading the Italian Mafia. I stepped up until she was ready and gladly handed the mantle back to her capable hands after I helped her forge an alliance with the Perez brothers.

Now, I have one goal in life: to win back Evander Perez.

Then Evie walked into our lives.

Ghosts from our pasts keep rising to haunt us, trying to rip away the very thing I would fight to the death to save.

Now, Evander and I, his brother Mateo, my bodyguard Gray, and an enemy none of us saw coming have vowed to protect her. No matter the cost.

All I Have: Part One is part of a duet and will end on a cliffhanger. It's a why-choose romance that contains MM content. Intended for mature listeners.

Interesting story, Disappointing Performance

The male performer reads stories well, but I wouldn’t call him a voice actor. You can’t tell the men from the women, much less tell the interesting men apart. Mexican, American, young, old, angry, passionate, they all sound the same. If you remember the old school radio guy Casey Kasem, that’s who he sounds like. I’m pushing through this two-book story to get to the next which has Patrick Zeller and Ada Sinclair back at the mic, thank goodness!

Amazing

This author doesn’t disappoint. Everything about this series is amazing, can’t wait for the other books to be available in audiobook version.

Obsessed!!!

I am so in love with the abbs valley crew! I’ve read all the books but listening to them is a whole other experience!!! The narration is perfection!!!

Loved it

I've read these books multiple times. I adore the books. The audible is pretty good too! I'm not quite sure I like JD Tomlinson in an RH book though. He doesn't quite handle the different men's voices like I would prefer. He has a smooth voice where I feel like the men should be more rough. But it's okay! Both narrators did great, even if I'm not sure he fits the role. I have 1 small problem with Heather Firth's narration as well.... in what world is Alexi pronounced Alexeye????? And in the next book she pronounces Kian really oddly as well. Just weird.

HOWEVER.... I adore the books. I appreciate the fact that Evie is a big girl. I LOVE how the men handle her and build her confidence up!

So many mispronounced words

Both male and female narrators repeatedly mispronounced words, for example “Alex-eye” for “Alexi” and “gouging” instead of “gauging”. There were other spots where the Italian or Spanish pet names were pronounced with zero attempt at appropriate inflections or accents.

Loved

I love this series. It hits all of my check boxes. It has a good story line, lovable characters and I’m obsessed with how all the different relationships develop within the poly unit and last but surely not least the spicy !!!! Wow let me tell you as an avid spicy book consumer the spicy in these series is top notch!

Love this series!

I wish I would have realized the next book that showed up doesn't hit for another 2 weeks. How am I supposed to wait 2 weeks after that terrible cliffhanger 😫

hot damn

literally hot. I didn't expect as much spice as there was. phew, I need a bigger fan to cool me off. I wish it was duet and not duel but oh well. it was excellent.

4.5 Stars for the overall book!

Audiobook Note: I wish the author has went with the male narrator from Riches to Riches - he had a way of playing each guy distinctly, so you always knew which POV the chapter was (especially since the audiobook chapters aren’t label with the character who’s POV it is). I was constantly referencing my Kindle version to try and remember whose chapter it was. 🫤

Entertaining

I’ll start by saying that I loved Riches to Riches and I loved getting to see Les and the Guys throughout this story. I loved getting the details on Micah and Van, and I love Mateo and Grey. The story just felt like the same theme, different characters so it was hard to get invested until the very end. I’m full gonna keep listening because it’s a fun little mafia world.
