All I've Wanted All I've Needed

Rise & Fall Series, Book 1

By: A.E. Valdez

Narrated by: iiKane, Winston James

Harlow Shaw feels naïve for believing in happily ever afters, but she craves a love that lights her up.

She thinks she has it all with her boyfriend—Until his promising baseball career overshadows their relationship, and he asks her a life-changing question. It causes her to wonder if what they have is all she ever truly wanted. Harlow is yearning for more than the curated life she is living.

A trip to Bali, a move to Seattle, and an alleged burned cup of coffee lead her to a friendship she didn't know she needed and a love so deep she can feel it in her bones.

Loved how this story was a build up.

I loved this book. I’ve been in a reading slump since March and tried several books to get me out but nothing did until I listened to this book. I give this book a 5 star rating, will definitely recommend.

Sunshine & Ace-depiction of what we want

Ace & Harlow are a true depiction of what a couple is.
Ace saw Harlow and knew he wanted her. The way they built a friendship based off of coffee and sarcasm is so real.
I love how this book covers grief, letting go, growth, loneliness, friendship, new beginnings and saying no.

Harlow is Acelyn’s sunshine and through this read we see the growth of Acelyn and Harlow’s character.

Laughed, learned and loved this!

I loved the way this writer developed Harlow and asyn’s “friendship.” It seemed genuine and sweet. Some parts of the book are honestly too good to be true, but it’s okay, I can be a little delusional 🫶🏽 like her dad??? No way was he THAT understanding

Heart warming

Loved this book! Ace and Harlow’s love story was so sweet and heartwarming. Slow burn but a good slow burn.

Beautiful Story

Loved this story. Listened to it twice.. Glad its a series, I'm getting every single one.
