  ALL I NEED IS YOU is the fourth book in M. Malone's USA TODAYbestselling contemporary romance series: The Alexanders.

He'll do whatever it takes to protect her. What he won't do...
is fall in love...

Kaylee Wilhelm is tired of always being a good, respectful Southern belle. So when the man she loves leaves town after their steamy kiss, she's done. As a single mother with a demanding singing career, she has no time for pining after her former bodyguard.

Years ago Elliott Alexander disappeared for a year and then came back irrevocably changed. With the FBI still watching, he can't afford distractions. Especially not sweet kisses from the only woman who gets under his skin.

When she's targeted by a stalker who seems to know her every move, Eli is the only one who can protect her. He'll have to stop running from his past and face his demons.

And maybe, just maybe, find his way back home again.

WARNING: This book contains best friends with attitude, blind dates, the reckless use of explosives and a hero that gives new meaning to the term "in the closet". Did I mention this is a really sexy book? Just saying...

MY REVIEW:

     Okay, Ms. Malone hit it out of the ball park with this one for me.  So far away for the others in the interesting storyline for me it felt like I was meeting these characters in a way for the first time.  Yet, Elliott Alexander was truly still his Alpha Male self and Kaylee Wilhelm was still the sweet and innocent girl.

     Elliot is such an intense character by himself and then you add his trying to be noble and to keep his distance from this very young (compared to himself) Kaylee.  His dark past makes him fearful of a future without fear of harming her. 

     Yet, although Kaylee may not have been exposed to all the dark sides of life that Eli has being a security specialist she is an old soul.  She is a young unwed mother of, Hope a soon to be two year old.  She basically works two jobs, one working for Eli’s brother Jackson, and a record producer.  As well as singeing, writing, and recording music for her new solo album coming out soon.

     Eli had been hired by Jackson to protect Haylee from a stalker which they thought they caught last summer.  In the midst of her touring with the group she used to be with.  That’s when they both became enamored with each other.  When the group broke up and she went solo he still was around and Haylee and Hope became more a part of the Alexander family as a whole on the next Christmas there was a big storm in which they were all snowed in at the Senior Alexander’s home this is where Eli showed his first emotions ever to Haylee by kissing her like a man kisses a woman.  The attraction could be harnessed no more.  But at the first chance he got he turned tail and ran. 

     He made his escape from his parents’ home after the storm leaving Kaylee to deal with her unhappy feelings and less-than feelings.  Kaylee knew it was time to stop wishing for more from her Alpha Male.  At the same time Eli knew he could no longer out run his feelings like he could no longer out run his past.  The FBI had made contact with him again. 

When would it ever be over?  At least last summer they had caught Haylee’s stalker.  Or did they?  A package arrives at his headquarters that tells him otherwise.

     Now her brick wall is his brick wall as they are thrown into hiding together.  Talking is all there is to do right?  Maybe??? J

     This has suspense, mystery, romance, comedy, heart and most of love with a HEA.  I give this 5 stars.
