Customer Reviews

Fast and easy read

This was my first book by the author and I couldn't put it down. I didn't figure out the killer until the author revealed him/her to the reader. I will read more by this author.

All She Ever Wanted

All She Ever Wanted is one of the most unraveling book that I have ever read. I like how everything falls into place towards the end but at the same time still keeps your mind going trying to figure out what is true and what is really false.This book is a murder mystery but at the same time a love story.This mystery story is always going back into someone's take on the past so that they can help figure things out for the present time.I think that anyone who loves a good page turner and something that will make them think should most definatly read this. Even if they don't like a mystery there's also more to be found in this book than a murder puzzle.

I couldn't put the book down!

This is the first book I have read from Barbara Freethy and I am hooked! I couldn't put All She Ever Wanted down! In this mystery romance novel, Barbara Freethy keeps you in suspense until the very end. Ten years after the fact, three sorority sisters find themselves involved in figuring out how and why their sorority sister, Emily, fell to her death. Was it an accident or a murder? Did one of the sorority sisters commit murder? It is a story of twists and turns that will keep you turning the pages! The romantic aspects are handled very well and never get syrupy. Romance, suspense, believable characters, and enough plot twists to keep you guessing make for an interesting and entertaining story. I highly recommend this book.

What a fast read!

I loved this book. It grabbed me right from the get go and held on. There were so many possible suspects and I couldn't stop reading until I found out "whodunnit". There were twists and turns and it was very fast paced. I don't want to give anything away, but you won't be disappointed with this book. Uncover the college secrets of the past and have a great read!

Hard to put this one down!

ALL SHE EVER WANTED by Barbara Freethy December 11, 2004 Courtesy of WWW.LOVEROMANCES.COM Three women are reunited, after the publication of a murder novel informs the world about a past they had tried to forget, in ALL SHE EVER WANTED by Barbara Freethy. Natalie Bishop is currently a resident at San Francisco's St Timothy's Hospital, achieving the goal she had worked for so hard while a student at Santa Cruz University ten years ago. Back in college, she was one of four young women who called themselves the Fabulous Four - Natalie, Laura, Madison, and a fourth girl, Emily. They were part of the same sorority and had banded together as four special friends who were different as night and day, yet they shared a great friendship. Natalie was the studious one, the one that had promised to take care of Emily. Laura was the all-American girl next door. Madison was the ultra-sophisticated girl, who was experienced in more ways than one. And finally, Emily was the glue that held the group together. She was full of life and adventure, but had a number of secrets that she had taken with her when she died. They were as close as sisters, and no one would have guessed that one night their lives would be changed forever, the night when Emily fell to her death from the roof of their building during a party. According to the novel that is penned by a new author named Garrett Malone, Natalie was the one that supposedly pushed Emily to her death. Natalie learns about the book by accident while on a break at the hospital. The names had been changed, and she panics when she realizes the book is about her, the Fabulous Four, and Emily's accidental death. While Malone may have thought he had disguised the characters in the book, most people recognize who these girls really were. Natalie's career is now on hold, due to the damage the book is doing to the hospital's reputation. And her ex-boyfriend Cole, who was Emily's brother and is now working for the family newspaper, the San Francisco Tribune, finds himself in a situation where he tries to defend Natalie's innocence, which angers his parents who believe that Natalie did indeed kill Emily. His loyalties are torn, and he also realizes that he has never gotten over Natalie, the girl that broke his heart. Laura and Natalie reunite to solve the mystery of the book, to find out who Garrett Malone really is, and to discover what really happened that fateful night. Madison does her own investigative work, trying to find out if there is any truth to the novel that is making front-page news. It's been years since they have all been together, but the novel that should never have been written is uncovering skeletons from their past and forcing them together again. Although they had missed the camaraderie of their college years, each of them secretly suspects the other in pushing Emily off the roof that night. With the help of Cole and a few others from their past, they solve the mystery of Garrett Malone, as well as unco
