Summary: Romantic Suspense
Review: Elizabeth Adler is a wonderful storyteller, and this book is no exception a real page turner. From the time Ed Vincent is shot at the airport,till the final page it will keep you guessing who is behind the plot to kill Ed and his lover the wonderful Melba Merrydew, (Zelda to Ed) and who can forget the wonderful,charming NYPD detective Marco Camelia, who himself is just a little in love with the wonderful Melba. Even though is Ed is in a coma he is reaching out to Melba, & she to him as all is revealed it this wonderful thriller. A fantasic and enjoyable read for all die hard Elizabeth Adler fans.

Summary: Boring!
Review: I gave up on this one when the old woman was brought into the story (I think I managed to read about 130 pages). I just got to the point where I was so bored with this book that I didn't even care what happened to these people anymore. This was my 1st E. Adler book and will probably be my last.

Summary: Blech
Review: I'm only up to Chapter 22 -- came on Amazon to see if this book had any hope of getting better. I think I'll spare myself and give up now. I'm just thankful I didn't buy this piece of... The dialogue is [bad]; the characters are completely one-dimensional. First and last time I'll read anything by this author.

Summary: Very good book
Review: Once again, Adler's book caught my attention and leave me wanting more. This is an overall good book with realistic characters, scenes full of suspences. I read this book from start to finish; there isn't a part that is boring.

Summary: In a Month
Review: That's about how long it took me to read this book. Not because I'm slow, just because I did not enjoy it. If I didn't know any better I would have assumed this book was Adler's first attempt at a novel. But it isn't. Well, the main characters are likeable enough. I'll give her that. Except for the alcoholic old woman. She added nothing to the book. The plot is weak, there is too much dialouge, and too little effort put in. By the end of Ed's killer is revealed. I couldn't really recall why he wanted Ed dead. But I didn't care. I was just happy that I was done and that I could move on to something better. Do yourself a favor and pass on this book.

Summary: Stretches credibility
Review: The plot in this one stretches credibility about as thin as it can get with every new page. It's also just a little too sappy for my taste. But if you love those Hallmark movies then this is for you.

Summary: Boring!
Review: The title just about says it all, because that's how quickly a person's life can change. My favorite part of this book was the wonderfully small cast of characters, each so different but all connected in one way or another. The book had a slow start, but doesn't take more than the first chapter to pick up and take you on your way. It was enjoyable, suspenseful, and as always had that irresistable wave of romance to it.

Summary: A delightful work 0f romantic suspense
Review: The urgent call sent millionaire Ed Vincent flying from Charleston to La Guardia in his Cessna in order to learn the identity of his rival on a property deal. After Ed debarks from his plane, a Sigma automatic greets him. In a coma, he is rushed to the hospital where the emergency staff struggles to save his life. Knowing he is going to die, Ed worries what will happen to his beloved Zelda, who will probably be the next target.

Zelda, who is actually Melba Merrydew, rushes to the hospital because she plans to keep her new found love alive. Zelda meets NYPD detective Marco Camelia who is assigned to the case. A happily married man with four kids, Marco finds himself desiring Melba. As they work together to uncover a killer, someone wants to make Zelda toast.

IN A HEARTBEAT is an exciting romantic suspense that fans of romance, police procedural, and thrillers will enjoy, particularly because of the exhilarating plot. The story line is fast-paced, loaded with twists and turns, and never eases up on the pace. Zelda and Ed (even in a coma) are wonderful characters, but readers will believe this novel belongs to the street tough, vulnerable Marco. Best-selling author Elizabeth Adler will gain a new group of fans with this superb story.
