RRAH's THOUGHTS AND PONDERINGS:

I'll say this much for Lady Blade. She sure knows how to write a plot with lots of twists, turns, and surprises. ALL IN THE NAME OF LOVE was one ebook that kept me not just interested, but surprised me and kept me guessing. That's the way I like my suspense!

Ms. Blade had done a fine job with all aspects of this story, from the characters, to the plot, to the emotional roller coaster she runs Devon and Adrian through. Devon is a dream—his devotion to Adrian during an accident she suffers is phenomenal, and makes him the type of romance hero we readers all grab on to (or would like to!). Adrian is tough, independent, and sharp as a tack—Devon definitely knows a good thing when he sees it.

But what stands out the most in ALL IN THE NAME OF LOVE, are Ms. Blade's skillfully woven plot twists and her quick paced, easy flowing prose. Just when you think you know where this story's going, Ms. Blade throws in a glitch: A surprise villain here, a few mysterious happenings there, not to mention an ending with a few surprises and an unexpected twist. Bravo, I say, and very well done!

If you're looking for a good suspenseful romance that will keep you on your toes, ALL IN THE NAME OF LOVE is one book you might want to consider reading.
