You’ve met Ben Shaw. Now meet Braydon Kincaid, the devil-may-care male model who nearly stole the show in Working It by New York Times bestselling author Kendall Ryan.
As one of the world’s most sought-after male models, Braydon is no stranger to the finer pleasures in life. The last thing he wants to do is limit himself, especially when it comes to women. His best friend, Ben, might’ve settled down, but Braydon doesn’t want to waste his youth on the messy complications of commitment. He wants fun. He wants easy.
Ellie isn’t looking for a casual relationship, but her tough and sassy personality instantly attracts Braydon, who proposes a “friends with benefits” arrangement. Unable to resist the powerful pull of the charming bad boy, Ellie eventually relents, though she longs for all-consuming love.
As the two spend more time together, Ellie soon realizes that Braydon’s posing skills extend off the runway. His carefully crafted façade masks a secret hurt that he’s reluctant to share with Ellie, even as they embark on a passionate affair that sends them hurtling toward a fate neither expected. Can Ellie risk her heart while she waits for Braydon to let her in, or will she be forced to demand all or nothing?

CHRISTY'S REVIEW:
If you thought the first two books in Kendall’s Love by Design series were steamy, you haven’t seen anything yet! She knocked it out of the park with this one. And Braydon… be prepared to meet your newest book boyfriend. He’s charming, cocky, sweet, fun and has the best accessory ;)
Ellie is Emmy’s best friend. She’s sassy, fun and feisty. Just the type of girl Braydon is attracted to. Braydon is Ben’s best friend. This means the two of them are thrown together often. As much as they banter and bicker, they can’t deny the connection they have between them.
Braydon isn’t looking for a relationship. He wants Ellie. She’s fun and his type. But he wants easy and commitment free. Ellie isn’t the type to have a that type of relationship. It’s just not her. But something about Braydon makes her give him a shot.
Even though Ellie knows the outcome won’t be good, she gives in. Bray and Ellie have something beyond chemistry. It’s this bond that is stronger than just physical. Even though they don’t have a traditional relationship, what they have is much more than sex. They have friendship.
I was quickly becoming addicted to every little thing he did. He made my heart flutter. Silly little organ. It didn’t know what was good for it.
And soon, that friendship and sex turns into something much more for Ellie.
Ellie falls hard, and she can tell Braydon had feelings too… whether he will admit them or not. Will Ellie be able to take what Braydon is willing to give? Or will she tell him it’s all or nothing with her and risk having him in her life, or losing him all together?
Braydon Kincaid… Braydon has always been my favorite character in the Love by Design series. He’s spirited, charming and has this alluring personality. In this book, he was a conundrum. As carefree as Braydon appears, he’s also a bit secretive and mysterious. You get the sense he’s hiding something through out most of the story. There is always a reason why someone is that hesitant to commit to anyone.
Then there is Ellie. His little firecracker. I loved that Ellie was strong and stood her ground. Kendall has a way of writing very likable females and I love that. No one wants to read about a complete doormat or annoying leading lady. Ellie was just the girl a guy like Braydon needed and they were explosive together. More than that, they were good for each other- as friends and lovers.
All or Nothing is a sweet and sexy romance, a friends to lovers story and a tale of second chances all wrapped up in one. Two fabulous main characters, lots of steam, and a great story line. It was great catching up with Emmy and Ben. As much as I loved Ben Shaw- Braydon takes the cake! Fans of this series won’t be disappointed in Braydon and Ellie’s story!
