In a Heartbeat

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.
