She was their closest friend, or so they thought -- until years later, when her secrets send them on a perilous search for the truth about who she really was ... and why she died ...

Ten years ago, during a party gone out of control, beautiful, vibrant Emily plummeted to her death, leaving her three best friends and sorority sisters -- Natalie, Laura and Madison -- devastated. None of them has ever forgotten that night -- or the role each may have played in Emily's death, the guilt that has pursued them, and the loss they still suffer.

Now an unknown writer has rocketed onto bestseller lists with a novel that eerily mirrors their own story. Who is he? How does he know the intimate details of their lives? And why is he accusing one of them of murder? As they begin to unravel the startling truth about their friend, each will rediscover a love she lost long ago and uncover secrets that will forever change her life...

    Great book!

    Fast, easy read with enough twists to keep you guessing. Good mix of romance and suspense. Not super dark which I liked. If you like a love story with a little mystery, this is a good book for you.

    Good story line, just very slow moving.

    This is only the second book I've read of Barbara Freethy,I wasn't too impressed with this book. It wasn't as fast paced and the story dragged on too long. It did have the complexity of of twists and turns but it really dragged on longer than needed.

    Great but too long.

    I loved the book but felt that it was drawn out with the 854 pages. I wasn't very interested until the last 300 pages.

    An Exciting Thriller of a Ride

    3 Friends meet again 10 years after college, trying to find out who killed their sorority sister. This book has everything, great characters, romance and suspense! I identified with Natalie and fell in love with Cole. You won't be able to put it down until you find out who did it.

    Truth? I bought this book because the main character shared my name.

    Okay, so, truth be told: I originally bought this book because the main character (Natalie) shares my name. I did finish the book in one day, a credit to the author, no doubt, but, at the same time--the suspense part of it was kind of... for lack of a better term, lame. The romance was well written (the redeeming quality of the novel)--but the end (whodunnit) kind of left me feeling empty inside. That's all I'll say for fear that I'll ruin the ending--but, it could have been more of a shocker.

    Interesting story line, but...

    The craft of writing was boring... nothing jumped off the page for me. No problem putting this book down. A good mystery is posed and there was a satisfying ending.

    Highly Recommended

    I got hooked on this story while reading in the doctor's office and couldn't wait to get back to it. I could relate to the girls and found the mystery very interesting. Liked the romance too. Would recommend this book.

    Horrible overwrought story!

    This is one of the worst stories that I have ever read- had a very slow start, all of the characters were borderline melodramatic, and it was very easy to lose interest in them all. I couldn't even finish it- and really thought about getting my money back.

    Great romantic suspense

    In San Francisco, St. Timothy¿s Hospital ER specialist Dr. Natalie Bishop hears about a bestselling novel, Fallen Angel, written by an unknown author Garrett Malone that eerily sounds like what happened a decade ago to her college roommate Emily Parish. Natalie thinks back to the Fabulous Four (she, Emily, Laura, and Madison) and that fatal day that changed all their lives................................. When his irate girlfriend hits Tribune editor Cole Parish with a stapler, his friend takes him to nearby St. Timothy¿s. There he runs into Natalie. They were attracted to one another when the death of his sister ended their relationship and remain engrossed with each other even now though Natalie mentioning a book surprises him. When they try to meet the author at a book signing, he flees from Natalie or Laura who also arrived at the bookstore. Natalie and Cole agree to investigate further the claim of Malone that one of the other surviving Fab Four killed Emily.................................. ALL SHE EVER WANTED is a fabulous investigative romance tale that grips the audience once Natalie learns of the novel obviously written by an insider but how that reflects the worse moment of her life. The lead couple is a fine pairing as both are very attracted to one another, but the ghost of his sister keeps them apart as it has for a decade. Though unnecessary coincidence staples and sutures the first meeting between Natalie and Cole, fan will enjoy this tense thriller wondering how Malone knows what he does and whether murder did occur.......................
