Remi lives a full life in New Orleans in spite of his blindness.  One day while taking a random walk across the city, he encounters a man like no other.  Donovan appears to be the ideal man for Remy, except that he disappears without warning and stays gone for indefinite periods of time.

Donovan magically appears in New Orleans out of a graffiti painting through no control of his own.  He never knows how long he has been “gone” or how long he will be able to stay, but Donovan does know that Remy is the man for him and he wants to stay with Remy permanently, but how to fight something he doesn’t understand?

What It Takes is a wonderful story where love conquers all, just not in the ways we expect.  As usual Willa Okati delivers a steamy love story that takes unexpected paths to unconventional endings.  Both Remi and Donovan are wonderful to read about, but as a bonus we get to visit with the characters of All It Takes.  The sexual chemistry between Remy and Donovan is explosive, and wonderful to read.  What It Takes is an entertaining story that you will enjoy on a lazy afternoon.  I will definitely be on the lookout for the next book on this series.

This is the second book of the Graffiti series, but it can be read as a stand alone book.
