All In is a fun, breezy thriller – danger, bad guys, gambling, and a touch of romance. From a New York penthouse to a luxury yacht on the Mediterranean, it’s just a fun ride. There’s plenty of action and not a slow spot in the book. Both Cassie and Jake are fabulous and will take your money. Cassie because it’s her job – and she’s very good at her job. Jake because he’s a good poker player- not lucky, he just knows the odds and can read people very well. Together, they are quite a team, even if they’d rather not be and are not sure how much to trust each other. And of course there are sparks between them, even though Cassie at first and then Jake want to resist the attraction for their own reasons. Okay, so it’s a fairly typical book, one that I could totally see as date movie, but the authors do it really well. The story zips along; you like the good guys; the baddies are clearly thugs or too rich for their own good or both. The women are strong, each in her own way – it’s nice to see an action story where the guy doesn’t get to save the day.
It’s not great literature – it’s not pretending to be. It’s a truly enjoyable read, though, perfect for the beach or a rainy afternoon.

Rating for this book are ridiculously high... Not good at all. Just feel like and old B movies with tons of clichés. It just have too much good book out there to justified reading this one!
