I read the review that said this was not one of Ms. Ford's best. I beg to differ, it is just what I expect. I am a true fan of her writing and will continue to support her always! It was this book that highlighted the career of photojournalism which I felt was an interesting career. Ray Coleman, photojournalist comes home after an accident. Amber Spencer, director of a nursey school has a long history with Ray. This is like the story with unresolved love issues between Ray and Amber. So here, we have a book that deals with Ray and Amber's relationship both past and present, then we have the secondary story of a dangerous man on the loose who causes some serious problems. But the author, who manages to provide these two stories in a way, that makes it in my opinion a very good story to read. Now, I have said Ms. Ford is an author who can deliver those hot loving scenes, and of course she does it again in this book. So to my fellow readers, give this one a try, read it, its an easy read, not boring and very good. If you enjoy Ms. Ford's work, check out these other published books by her: One Of A Kind (a 1999 release), For Always, After Dark and Forever After.

Definitely For sure!!!

I loved this book: Ray and Amber were a great couple. The story line was easy to read, the romantic moments flowed well; once they started. I liked the second story line in addition to the main couple. It made me smile; it made me laugh; and it made me almost cry. Bette Ford writes well; bravo!

I liked this book, it as easy to read and entertaining to the end.. .The double plot always adds suspense to a book as well, very well written. If you liked this book, or want to read one that goes straight to your heart, read Stolen Moments by Barbara Jeanne Fisher. . .It is a beautiful story of unrequited love. . .for certain the love story of the nineties. I intended to give the book a quick read, but I got so caught up in the story that I couldn't put the book down. From the very beginning, I was fully caught up in the heart-wrenching account of Julie Hunter's battle with lupus and her growing love for Don Lipton. This love, in the face of Julie's impending death, makes for a story that covers the range of human emotions. The touches of humor are great, too, they add some nice contrast and lighten things a bit when emotions are running high. I've never read a book more deserving of being published. It has rare depth. Julie's story will remind your readers that life and love are precious and not to be taken for granted. It has had an impact on me, and for that I'm grateful. Stolen Moments is written with so much sensitivity that it made me want to cry. It is a spellbinder. What terrific writing. Barbara does have an exceptional gift!

Okay, so this book did not have all the qualifications for a Five in my book, but it did have Four Star quality. "All the Love" had a good storyline and the characters had great chemistry together but the book was lacking something. Bit I must said what Ford lacks in this book she makes up for it with the love scenes. Better luck next time!! Much love Ford!

Although this was not typically as good as Ms. Ford has given us in the past, it's still worth adding to your collection of African American romances. The story was typical and easy to follow with enough suspense to keep you reading but the plot was somewhat of a rehash of other stories that have been written. Ms. Ford deserves the right to give us a typical story every now and again, but I do hope she gives us another story like "After Dark" real soon.

Betty Fords books After Dark and Forever After were fabulous and rate very highly on my best/favorite list I immediately bought copies of these two books for my best friend -I could not believe that All the Love was written by the same author -very weak plot line.

I was really skeptical when I set out to read this book because of the reviews that it received. This is my third book by the author and I must say it really wasn't her best.

The relationship between Amber and Ray was written well and was also believable. Many young girls with older brothers often has a crush on one of the brothers friends. But the dialogue with the crazy man really did not make sense to me. Just because Amber was pretty and reminded him of his mother wasn't enough information to make him so hateful towards Amber.

But I am not going to give up on Bette. I am set out to read all her books and I just hope that the others are better.

This book was kind of lengthy, but I truly enjoyed it. Bette Ford can really write. I love all her books.

Bette Ford's After Dark was a much more enjoyable read.

In All the Love, it seems at some points the author is just repeating herself and I found myself thinking after reading certain passages, "Didn't these two characters already have this very same conversation?"

Amber Spencer, an accomplished director of a nursery school in Vermont, is not that developed of a character. After the pain of losing her brother and her two parents, in two separate tragedies, it seems that Ms. Ford could have discussed that some more. Also after what transpired between Ray Coleman and Amber twelve years before, it also seems unrealistic to think that they could have a successful relationship without some serious discussion and counseling.

It is also not plausible that Amber Spencer has never been with anyone else for twelve years.

Ray Coleman is an exciting character and for people who are interested in current events, Ms. Ford gives the reader some tidbits of information on what is happening in the Middle East.

The secondary story line kept the book going on and ultimately makes the book worth reading.

Kudos to Ms. Ford for her hot romance scenes.

Borrow your friends copy of All the Love and buy some of Bette Ford's other books.
