Love Is All You Need

Del Montgomery's boss is very demanding. His latest challenge for Del is to bring him the Unruh Pig. If Del brings this legendary pottery pig back from Missouri, she will be given a permanent job as auctioneer at the prestigious Porter Auctions. Unfortunately Del doesn't have much of a lead on where to locate the missing pig. But the sooner Del locates the pig, the sooner she can head back to Chicago. So, when she finds local auctioneer Sam Samson, she decides to hire him to help her in the search. Except, he can't know she is an auctioneer herself and he especially can't find out she is searching for the Unruh Pig. When Sam meets Del, he is immediately attracted to her. She keeps him on his toes. Because although he finds her enticing, there is something not quite right about her story. Sam can sense she isn't being completely honest with him. Del gives herself away every time she tells a lie and she's been telling some big ones! But Sam's not just interested in figuring out Del's secrets, he's interested in everything about this tempting, secretive city girl! Lori Devoti has written a charming novel with Love Is All You Need! I was amused and delighted by Del and Sam's love story. Del's sassy attitude and Sam's good humor left me grinning throughout this book. I especially loved the way Sam could so completely read Del and the way he never let her overtake him. They were very well-matched and their romance a joy to read. This book has it all! Filled with pig humor, it is laugh out loud funny. The mystery of the Unruh Pig and the ensuing treasure hunt kept the pace fast and intriguing. Add in an engaging romance and Love Is All You Need is a fun and romantic read!

This is a contemporary which is also set in the Ozarks near Daisy Creek (the setting of Love is All Around) and gives us a pleasing glimpse of the life of some of the characters in her first book. But Love is All You Need takes all the heartwarming sweetness and humor of Love is All Around and kicks it up several notches into something even better than her first novel (which I loved as well). Love is All You Need is a wonderful romance. It's hot with great sexual tension beween Del and the super sexy Sam but there's a great connection between these two very unlikely characters. There's also a lot of humor between them. Devoti gives us an HEA but not in a straight line. It's a crooked road but just like her characters and their surroundings, unconventional works.
