4.25⭐️
I absolutely loved Full Tilt and immediately picked up this follow-up to see how the story continued. Sophomore books can be hit or miss, but since this was a duet, I had high hopes—and it delivered. Maybe it didn’t pack quite the same emotional punch as the first book, but it was still a really solid continuation.

The story is definitely predictable. After just the first chapter, I texted a book bestie with my guesses about how things would play out, and I ended up being spot on. That’s not necessarily a bad thing—it actually felt kind of comforting after the emotional rollercoaster of Full Tilt. And even with the predictability, there were enough detours and character-focused moments to keep me engaged.

I listened to the audiobook, which brought back Caitlin Kelly as the voice of a heartbroken, grieving Kasey Dawson. She was joined by Jeremy York as Theo Fletcher, and I really enjoyed the pairing. One of the fun things about audiobooks is hearing how narrators’ performances shift depending on their co-narrator, and while I liked Kelly in both books, I thought she and York had a stronger spark together. The narration itself was at a great conversational pace on 1x speed, so I didn’t feel the need to adjust. Overall, a solid production.

Lastly, I love that these books have been re-released traditionally by Sourcebooks Bloom—it feels very well deserved.

I was fortunate to receive a complimentary ALC from Tantor Audio through NetGalley, which gave me the opportunity to share my voluntary thoughts.

How I Rate
Because I mostly read ARCs, I focus on how I think fellow readers with similar tastes will respond. I sometimes round up or down based on pacing, prose, or overall impact, and I try to keep my personal preferences from weighing too heavily.

⭐️ 1 Star – Finished, but not for me; I never DNF ARCs.
⭐️⭐️ 2 Stars – Struggled due to writing, content, or editing issues.
⭐️⭐️⭐️ 3 Stars – Decent read with untapped potential; recommend with some reservations.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4 Stars – Really enjoyed it and would recommend for several reasons.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 Stars – Exceptional; lingers in my mind well after reading. A story I’d gladly revisit.

All In, Book 2 of the Full Tilt Duet, took me on an absolute emotional rollercoaster! I jumped into this duet completely blind, and while I had some idea after the first book where things might go in Book 2, it ended up being way more emotional than I ever expected.

I really don't want to spoil anything, so my biggest recommendation is to go into this one without knowing a thing. Just be prepared to shed some tears, but trust me, it is so worth it. This duet is truly beautiful and it should be on everyone's must read list.

Jeremy York and Caitlin Kelly do a fantastic job at narrating this emotional read. They hooked me in and made this story come to life! I felt every emotion along with the characters!

I listened to this series on audiobook, and I definitely recommend that format. Thank youNetGalley and Tantor Media for an ALC of this audiobook. I voluntarily listened and gave an honest review.

I loved this book! I wasn’t exactly sure how she could write a sequel to the first but this was really well done. Equally heartbreaking and warming in its own way.
