Ivy Kendall's only plan for her life was to teach, but then it all fell apart...
When Rory Clark disappears from UCLA after a lengthy online relationship with a "catfish" pretending to be Ivy, the sassy former model turned kindergarten teacher is forced to dive headfirst into the mystery in order to clear her name. The catfishing phenomenon meets good, old-fashioned police work when Cameron Lewis, a bossy San Francisco detective with a dominant streak, offers to help her uncover the awful truth about her stolen identity and Rory's disappearance.
They've barely scratched the surface when Ivy is charged with a murder she swears she didn't commit.
As the evidence against her piles up and the intense attraction between her and Cameron deepens, Ivy wants nothing more than to lean on the tattooed detective. He's already seen her at her worse. Now she has to find the courage to trust him with her heart. But how can she when she's terrified doing so will ruin his career?
Her greatest fear becomes reality when the ugly truth is revealed and their lives come tumbling down around them.
Betrayed by the one person she never suspected, Ivy makes a reckless decision that puts her in the sights of a murderer and jeopardizes Cameron's career. He will do whatever it takes to save the woman he loves...even if that means becoming a killer himself.
Will he be able to reach her before it's too late, or will Rory's catfish take more than just one life?
All Over You is a standalone sister novel to the All Falls Down duo by Ayden K. Morgen. I never read All Falls Down and I wasn’t lost in the slightest, so you will have no problem reading this as a standalone if you are new to this authors books. All Over You is a romantic suspense based on a very current trend- catfishing. Ivy is being catfished and the person that is pretending to be her is putting her in a world of trouble. I can’t even imagine what I would do if someone was committing crimes and pretending to be me. That sounds terrifying. The premise of this story immediately drew me in. I was hooked. I could so easily see this on the big screen as a suspense mystery movie.
I was so scared for Ivy. As I said before, the idea that someone can so easily capture your identity freaks me out. I really loved Ivy. She is exactly what you would picture if you think of the stereotypical good girl. She volunteers in her free time, is a school teacher, will donate her last dollar away, etc. She is a sweetheart, and overall comes off as kind of meek, but there are a number of times when she had me cheering because she would stand up for herself. I loved when she surprised people.
Cam is a very intense cop. I loved that he trusted Ivy was innocent right from the get go, and I liked how intense he was…to an extent. I liked everything about him, but I found him to be just a little too much. I liked that he was tough and assertive, but he came off just a little too aggressive, and he cursed just a little too much for my tastes. I have no problem with cursing and being a rough and tough kind of guy, but it felt like every other word out of his mouth was a cuss word. Everything about his personality was over the top, in your face dominant, almost a little too much so. But other than that I liked him. I just wished he dialed it back a notch or two.
The mystery in All Over You is great. It will keep you captivated and on the edge of your seat until the very end. Ayden K. Morgen did a great job of always keeping the story moving along. There are never really any stagnant or slow moments. It makes for a quick and engaging read. One that I really enjoyed. If you are a fan of romantic suspense stories, this is a great mystery and great romance for you.
