“In GIVE IT ALL, McKenna’s writing is flawless, delving deep into character’s psyche while also introducing an intricate suspense plotline” ~ Under the Covers
In the second installment to the Desert Dog series, Cara McKenna has every intention of snatching reader’s attentions and running with it. In GIVE IT ALL, McKenna’s writing is flawless, delving deep into character’s psyche while also introducing an intricate suspense plotline concerning the aftermath of what happened in the first book of the series. While you don’t necessarily need to read the first in the series to appreciate this story, it is ideal if you want the full reading experience.
Raina Harper is one tough woman who intimidates but also intrigues Duncan Welch. Though they seem like polar opposites, their unexpected romance blooms beautifully under McKenna’s care. I loved how she was able to keep both their strong personalities in tack, never compromising who they were while creating a believable romance.
Duncan surprised me. His OCD, while not his defining characteristic became something that initiated the help that Raina offered. Without it, there wouldn’t be much depth to his personality, but McKnna also uses it to create more vulnerability in a self-made man. I found him very intriguing.
GIVE IT ALL definitely showcases McKenna’s talents as a writer in this suspenseful but also deeply thought-provoking instalment to the Desert Dogs series.

When it comes to books I’m pretty adventurous. I read everything from Paranormal Romance to Urban Fantasy, New Adult, BDSM, LGBT fiction, Cozy Mysteries and even YA. If it’s got the littlest trace of romance in it, then I’ll probably read it. That being said, my all-time favorite authors are J.R. Ward and Karen Marie Moning.
When I’m not submerged in a good book, you can find me musing about makeup and planners or dreaming about Kpop boys and beaches. Until then, check out my reviews and let’s talk books!

Sounds good …thanks Annie
I really like this series and love what she can do with character development. I was never comfortable with Duncan and Raina, but their story was still engaging.
Yeah, her character development in this one was really impressive.
Thanks for the review, I haven’t started this series yet but I want to.
