Customer Reviews

I liked It

I read all the reviews and wondered if I should bother with this one but took the chance and doggone it, I rather liked it. It kept my attention from start to finish. Guess it's different strokes for different folks. I liked the characters and I thought the story interesting especially from Ed's point of view struggling to come out of his coma and being able to view things he was thinking. Okay it's not an award winning type of book but to me it was just entertaining. I do enjoy one often that makes you think such as a book by "Charles Martin" but at times I just want a good entertaining book and this was it.

I loved this book!

Once again, Elizabeth Adler writes a super book. Life really can change in a hearbeat. I loved the plot, the storyline, and the charactors. I could see the ending a mile away, but I love a good love story mixed with murder and trouble, so this was a great read for me!

Very good book

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.

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.Harriet Klausner
