This is the continued story of Luke and Tessa and their struggle to become parents. At times I had a lump in my throat and was feeling so sad for them and at other times I was happy.I would definitely recommend this book if you love the bama boys.

All We Want is a quick and satisfying read that is a great addition to the Alabama Summer series.
While their friends are having babies left and right, Tessa and Luke are struggling to conceive. J. Daniels explores this topic in a thoughtful and realistic way. The strength of Tessa and Luke’s marriage is put to test as they deal with disappointment and guilt. Instead of being a bitter one-dimensional character, though, Tessa is the same sassy and caring woman we’ve grown to love. Luke continues to be a triple threat: strong, supportive, and sexy as hell.
Some aspects are predictable, but I was surprised by how touching the story is. An epilogue would have made it extra sweet, but that’s just nitpicking. This book was a hit for me, and I really enjoyed the narration as well.

This was so emotional. It follows Luke and Tessa on their journey to start a family. As emotional as it is it is so real and just stays true to what so many people deal with when it comes to having children and I really appreciated it. I just absolutely love this group of characters and I will always want more of their stories so I hope there’s more to come! I also think that reading the author’s note in this one is essential. It really adds to some of the really heavy moments in the book.

I love their story
A great way to continue Luke and Tessa’s story. We all knew it was going to be emotional but I was t prepared for how real it felt. Having gone through some of the things Tessa went through I can understand how emotional and raw it felt. It was great catching up with the rest of the gang and seeing their families growing and I can’t wait for the next one.

Tessa and Luke are my least favourite couple of this series, so I guess I was doomed before I started reading.
While I liked the storyline itself and the way J. Daniels handled the topic of not being able to get pregnant and possibly adopting, as well as her writing style, I again couldn’t really connect to both Tessa and Luke.
Totally me, not the book. If you loved Tessa and Luke in the previous books, you’re gonna love this one as well.

Emotional and Heartwrenching
This was a deeply beautiful follow up to Tessa and Luke as they navigate their happily ever after.
This story followed them on their journey to growing their family, and their own struggles with grief, disappointment and keeping it together in the face of unanswerable questions. (NOTE: Those concerned about miscarriage triggers can read this book, you won’t be triggered by that at all!)
This story really resonates because it’s underlying theme is hope and patience, and what a beautiful reward and blessing our lead characters got with a little hope and patience!
This couple once again overcome some intense and difficult obstacles in their life together, and learn that things don’t necessarily happen the way you think they will, but that the little surprises are just as special and beautiful!
This story features humor, sadness, despair, hope, joy and lots of spice (because come on, it’s Luke and Tessa).
An absolute wonderful follow up to their story!

Tessa and Luke's book is my favorite book of this series and I still think it's the best writing J. Daniels has ever done. I have desperately wanted more of their story and for these two to get their happy ending. This was absolute perfection and it wouldn't be possible for me to love it anymore.

OMGGGGG this is what I've been waiting for since All I Want came out. I finally got more Tessa and Luke!!! This was worth every second of waiting and more.
