Summary: A pleasant summer night's read...
Review: This was my first Elizabeth Adler book, so unlike other reviewers here, I had nothing to compare this story to. I liked the combination of legal professor Marla and ex-cop-turned P.I. Griaud, but like others here, I felt their many sex scenes were just so much fluff. After the first one, where the author shows how much they care about each other, the rest were pretty much just for show. Also, Pepperdine is a Church of Christ school, so I'm not so sure they'd let Marla and her skimpy skirts past the guard gate, let alone teach a class! I liked the premise of a femal being the heavy for a change, but the overall plotlines were pretty jaded and trite for my tastes. I am a fan of Los Angeles and I liked reading about places I've visited. So, all in all, I spent a peaceful summer's night with a so-so book. Not great, but better than channel surfing!

Summary: Typical but enjoyable.
Review: Although there wasn't anything extraordinary about this book or its plot, it was still an enjoyable read. When Laurie Martin disappears, and Steve Mallard is blamed, Al Giraud is hired by Steve's wife to prove his innocence. Al's girlfriend, Marla (who is a lawyer that wants to play at being a PI), joins him in the search to find Laurie and, by tracking down her past, discovers that Laurie has left behind a trail of dead bodies. If you like stories that deal with digging up clues to somebody's past and tracking down leads to find that person, you'll enjoy this book.

Summary: Interesting concept
Review: An interesting concept to say the least. This book brings about the best in customer service and attention to detail. I wonder at times if the author was not sure how to proceed into peripherals. Marla had some attitude at the peaks on char. development which made her more obtuse in my point of view. Does anyone else share this opinion?

Summary: Good premise, bad execution
Review: Elizabeth Adler had a great idea but her new crime solver leaves a lot to be desired. Her villian was interesting and fun. BUT the banter between Al and Marla was ridiculous. The story was obliterated by the constant bedding of Al by Marla. If Adler had stuck to the story she'd have written another great book. Instead All or Nothing should be called Some or Nothing.

Summary: All or Nothing
Review: Elizabeth Adler lost me on this one. I sincerely hope that this is NOT the beginning of a series. It is such a disappointment to have such uncouth characters mucking up her novel.I hope Ms. Adler does not make this type of book a habit.

Summary: Very entertaining
Review: Having read mixed reviews about this book, I was hesitant to read it. The summary of the story sounded good and I decided to read it. I am so glad I did; the book was great and had the right mixture of romance, clever dialogue, humor, and suspense. Some scenes may not be realistic, but frankly, I don't want reality, I have enough of that every day in my personal life. This book was refreshing and easy to read. I highly recommend it.
