Amazon.com's Best of 2001
Setting: Contemporary Washington state
Sensuality: 8
An unexpected inheritance that gives him a share of an eastern Washington resort lodge couldn't have come at a better time for J.D. Carver. He's fed up with his life in Seattle and heads for Star Lake Lodge expecting to be met with hostility from the other owners. What he finds is the warm and welcoming Lawrence clan. J.D. takes one look at beautiful Drucilla Lawrence and immediately wants her, while Dru says hello to the handsome carpenter and begins to hyperventilate.
Neither of them are pleased by their instant attraction, for J.D.'s childhood spent in foster homes has taught him not to trust anyone, and Dru has purposely closed her heart to romance following an involvement that left her alone and pregnant. But J.D. is determined to claim his inheritance, and that decision compels him to remain at the Lodge, thus enmeshing himself in the Lawrences' daily life, especially Dru's. When unfinished business from his life in Seattle appears to threaten both him and the Lawrences, J.D. has to think fast before someone is killed. But could the threat to Dru's and J.D.'s hearts be even greater than the threat to their lives?
Susan Andersen doesn't miss a beat in this refreshingly down-to-earth take on a man and woman hit with lust and love at first sight. City-bred and street-smart, J.D.'s character is every bit as on target as Dru's good-girl psyche, while the secondary characters are equally fascinating and well developed. All Shook Up is a perfect balance of romance, humor, and suspense. Don't miss this one.--Lois Faye Dyer
Book Description
New York Times bestselling author Susan Andersen has captivated readers everywhere with her sassy romances. Here, a man who doesn't believe in love and a woman who doesn't trust in it find out just how wrong they can be...
A Man With a Past
J.D. Carver learned life's tough lessons on the streets, so when an unexpected inheritance sends him to the Star Lake Lodge to claim his half, he's expecting trouble. Being greeted with open arms by the whole Lawrence gang—feisty Aunt Sophy and calm Uncle Ben, clearly off-limits Dru and her young son, Tate—just convinces him they're working an angle, and he's determined to uncover it. Even though a tiny part of him longs for the home-and-hearth life they have...
A Woman With a Reputation
Dru's finally beaten her bad-girl reputation, and though the Lodge may not be exciting, she's fiercely protective of her quiet home. Hard-eyed J.D.'s ability to push all her buttons—some of which haven't been pushed in
way too long—just proves how wrong he is for her. So why does her son hero-worship the guy? And why does her heart clench when he gets that "nose pressed against the candy shop window" look on his face
In Love . . . and All Shook Up
They thought they knew everything their lives had to offer . . . until they met. Can a failed good girl and a guy who never caught a break learn to believe in one another long enough to trust their love?

Highly Enjoyable.......2007-06-16
An all around enjoyable contemporary romance. It's not the most sophisticated or complicated of stories, but it's a great light-reader. I wouldn't necessarily call it a flighty beach read, but it's fairly low on angst, high on romance, and just overall a good light-hearted story.
I enjoyed the characters and the romance. Both kept my interest. The very slight suspense aspect added a little spice to the story. And Andersen has a nice flow to her writing that makes the book very readable.
This is a good book to read if you like the lighter side of romance, fun, romantic, nice storyline. I'd recommend reading it.
Fabulous.......2006-11-17
I really enjoyed this book and it could not have come at a better time. Every book I ended up reading lately seemed to be getting worse and worse. Not so with this hot one. I loved Dru. She gave as good as she got and her relationship's with her son and Sophie and Ben and everyone around her were so special poor J.D. did not have a chance. J.D. comes to this small lakeside lodge town because he seemed to inherit 1/2 of it on the death of his semi foster/friend. He expects everyone to cheat him, decieve him or if not that then all out hate him. Boy is he in for a suprise. The complete opposite happens. They welcome him into their Lawrence family clan. It takes J.D. some time to adjust to these people. He's standoffish, rude and Lonley with a capital L. He forms a nice bond with Dru's son and he and Dru's relationship is electric. There chemistry is All Shook Up. J.D. slowly learns what it's like to be in a family and have people care about him since all he's know is foster homes. Dru was a wonderful mother, lover, friend. All her attributes just shime through this story and how she is determined to hang onto J.D. for as long as she can. Great story. I recommed this one highly you will not be dissapointed.
warm and fun.......2006-11-06
I love a story that has two sets of characters and they are both well defined. The aunt with her hot flashes is realistic and fun. The story has well drawn characters that are misfits in life but fit one another.
Very Good!.......2006-02-24
I'm a new reader of Susan Andersen and have really liked reading her books. I enjoyed the characters in this book as they had to deal with personal issues which hinder their romances. I look forward to reading more of her novels.
Fab- Fun- Sexy!.......2005-08-25
J.D is a tough guy who thinks all he has going for him is "the Natural Wonder" and Dru is determined to make him see there is more to this honorable diamond in the rough than just his most manly of qaulities....set in a lakeside resort in the mountains outside Seattle in eastern Washington state ALL SHOOK UP is a fun, romantic and sexy read . The support characters are nicely drawn in this one to build some more depth to the story. The setting is fabu- and the hero and heroine have earth shaking chemistry. Their makeout sessions are intense and when they finally get together- well Susan Andersen is one of the best at writing HOT STEAMY love scenes.
What makes this really work though is that our very male hero J.D. is vulnerable and thinks so little of himself deep down that Dru has to allow herself to mother him a little- just enough to let him see his own worth. This really touched me- his reactions were so inline with what someone who has been raised without any support system or guidance can easily believe- you come from nothing- you are nothing- you deserve nothing. Making him believe is the ultimate test and the ultimate triumph.
And did we mention JD is described as about the yummiest hunk in eons? A construction worker with a to die for physique- all trim and toned and muscly.....and he just good gaga for round and soft and curvy Drucilla! Always love a man who prefers a nicely cushioned female:) --.

Lily's review.......2007-05-07
ALL SHOOK UP THE LIFE AND DEATH OF ELIVS PRESLY
By: Barry Denenberg
All Shook Up: the Life and Death of Elvis Presley by Barry Deneberg is a nonfiction book that middle school or higher could read. During this book there are interesting facts about his whole life. From being poor to being the `King of Rock and Roll'' it will tell everyone who reads the book everything they would want to know. Elvis was a boy who was always with his mom and his mom would not let him go anywhere by his self. Elvis was drafted to the army and hated it. When finally Elvis's mom and dad came to live next to his camp site, but when his mom had gotten sick she went back to Memphis. Elvis came back to Memphis and stayed with his mom in the hospital but when he left his mom had died. Elvis has to learn how to go back to the war and try to live with out his mom.
This awesome biography is a great book. It makes people feel like anybody can now everything about Elvis whole life. One part of the book talks about all the drugs that he took and the book talked about it for almost the whole ending. The strong biography is a very well written book.
All Shook Up: The Life And Death of Elvis Presley.......2006-12-14
The king of rock and roll. The life behind the man that shaped rock and roll into what it is today. Elvis was born into the dirt-poor family of the Presleys. Being an outcast in everything, music was his only outlet. One day, he went to Sam Phillips, in the Sun Studios and asked if he could make a record. He definitely had promise, and was called back to sing more "blues and R&B" songs, aka black songs. He became a phenomenon. He became a celebrity overnight. He tried acting as a more stable career and produced horribly filmed and written movies that everyone ate up. He took drugs, medicine as he called it because he wasn't taking drugs but actual medicine, drank, and fits of rage, and became the man we all know and love. This book was very opinionated, but good, that sixth to eighth graders would enjoy.
All Shook Up showed how much Elvis affected rock and roll. During the book, the author talked about different bands, such as Bob Dylan and Bruce Springfield, with some quotes about how Elvis had helped them. A quote about Bruce Springfield showed that he wanted to be like Elvis so much, and how he tried to incorporate this into himself. Bob Dylan was the Elvis that followed. He had the "I don't care" attitude, the look, the stage-presence, everything.
All Shook Up showed that Elvis was vulnerable. Elvis met the Colonel, a smooth talking con man that was only interested in money. Maybe it was because of his poor relationship with his father, but he signed with the Colonel, who only did what brought in the most money, and never considered what was best for Elvis. It talked about when, in Germany, he met Pricilla Beaulieu. He confided in her about his innermost things, like his mother's recent death and how he missed her, and she confided in him about her real father. Elvis met Larry Geller, his hairdresser, who introduced him to spirituality. They became very close, until the Colonel. He fired Geller while Elvis watched.
All Shook Up appealed to a certain crowd. The author told all about how Elvis bought extravagant gifts and gave them away. He appealed to the materialism of teens today. He told of Elvis being addicted to drugs and that was the cause of his death. Everything single performance, movie, and record that was sold were shown with the price tag.
All Shook Up was a generally good book that showed the many facets of Elvis, especially the material side. Adults would be disappointed with this book, so teens would like it.

Disappointing at best.......2004-06-24
The only parts worth reading are the prologue entitled 'Marsha Cup' and the Introduction. The author claims to have researched his subject, Elvis Presley, however after the introduction the book is full of inaccurate information that is believed to be true because it has been printed before. The author's focus is on Elvis' dark and negative side. Elvis is portrayed in his Sun years as a pill popping mama's boy who then sells out his craft (Rock n Roll) to become Colonol Tom Parker's puppet. One sentence is dedicated to Elvis' charitable contributions, and little is said about how many gold and platinum records Elvis had. When Elvis' success in record sales is mentioned it is tainted with accusations of greed.
Reading this book reminds me of the Song Elvis sang in the 70's called "The Pieces of My Life", which I shall paraphrase, 'I read through the bad parts, I read through the sad parts, but I guess the author threw the best parts away.' Reading this book left me with feelings of disappointment and depression. I would not recommend it to anyone let alone young readers.
ALL SHOOK UP: The Life and Death of Elvis Presley.......2002-01-06
To begin with, this is NOT a book for Juveniles. The Author merely repeats the same old distortions and outright lies that have been published over and over again. Isn't it about time that Elvis Presley was treated with some dignity? He was NOT a monster, but a basically fine and decent man. It's about time that His Daughter and other Loved ones were given some Peace from such garbage as is contained in this and other books of the same type. I am most disappointed with Scholastic Press for being a party to the Printing and distribution of this book.
Certain to appeal beyond the young adult age range.......2002-01-04
Barry Denenberg's All Shook Up is certain to appeal beyond the young adult age range it's intended for: this history of Elvis' life and death is lively, with black and white photos supplementing text appropriate for grades 6 and older. Any with a prior affection for Presley will find this a fine, approachable biography of his life.
Book Description
The birth of rock 'n roll ignited a firestorm of controversy--one critic called it "musical riots put to a switchblade beat"--but if it generated much sound and fury, what, if anything, did it signify? As Glenn Altschuler reveals in All Shook Up, the rise of rock 'n roll--and the outraged reception to it--in fact can tell us a lot about the values of the United States in the 1950s, a decade that saw a great struggle for the control of popular culture. Altschuler shows, in particular, how rock's "switchblade beat" opened up wide fissures in American society along the fault-lines of family, sexuality, and race. For instance, the birth of rock coincided with the Civil Rights movement and brought "race music" into many white homes for the first time. Elvis freely credited blacks with originating the music he sang and some of the great early rockers were African American, most notably, Little Richard and Chuck Berry. In addition, rock celebrated romance and sex, rattled the reticent by pushing sexuality into the public arena, and mocked deferred gratification and the obsession with work of men in gray flannel suits. And it delighted in the separate world of the teenager and deepened the divide between the generations, helping teenagers differentiate themselves from others. Altschuler includes vivid biographical sketches of the great rock 'n rollers, including Elvis Presley, Fats Domino, Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Buddy Holly--plus their white-bread doppelgangers such as Pat Boone. Rock 'n roll seemed to be everywhere during the decade, exhilarating, influential, and an outrage to those Americans intent on wishing away all forms of dissent and conflict. As vibrant as the music itself, All Shook Up reveals how rock 'n roll challenged and changed American culture and laid the foundation for the social upheaval of the sixties.
Customer Reviews:
It's time to rock.......2007-01-05
Rock n roll may seem like an odd choice for a pivotal moment in American history but altschuler supports his thesis very well and by the end I was convinced. This book is an overview of the business, politics, race relations, and generational relations stemming from rock and roll. It looks at rocks early years through the "day the music died". If you are looking for a book that will serve as an introduction to the rock n roll movement then look no further. I was very impressed with the information presented and as someone who knew nothing about the history of rock when I started I was pleased with how much I learned. It leaves a few places hanging such as what happens to Elvis after he joins the army but mostly it covers everything in the right amount of detail. Highly recommend.
A wonderful indisciplinary review of seismic social change, reflected and caused by rock and roll........2006-11-22
"All Shook Up - How Rock `N' Roll Changed America" by Glenn Altschuler is a terrific and well documented book on the seismic social, sexual and racial changes in the United States that was both reflected and precipitated by a new music sweeping the nation in the 1950s and 1960s. This new music with its roots deeply entrenched in largely black American R&B and Gospel literally shook a nation that wanted to believe itself innocent but was undergoing rapid change with the return of combat vets, the ensuing Baby Boom and the suburbanization of our country. Disposable income was rapidly on the rise and technological marvels of the day, such as the transistor radio, rapidly spread this revolutionary new music. Altschuler does a superb job in his narrative documenting this revolution from both a societal and a musical perspective. He is perhaps at his best in describing the backlash against rock and roll as it began break in a color barrier that was still sacred to many, mostly white, Americans. He quotes authors of the day, "with tom-toms and hot jive and ritualistic orgies of erotic dancing, weed-smoking and mass mania, with African jungle background. Many music shops purvey dope; assignations are made in them. White girls are recruited for colored lovers . . . and guarantee a new generation subservient to the Mafia". Obviously some strong backlash.
Oxford University Press is to be commended along with the editors of this series, Pivotal Moments in American History, David Hackett Fischer and James M. McPherson for living true to their words of historical interpretation and reporting "they were the results of decisions and actions by people who had opportunities to choose and to act otherwise". Also by showing "increasing sensitivity to issues of race, ethnicity, class, and gender in the context of large structures and processes". This volume is a classical one of American Studies, an interdisciplinary review of a period of time where social change was rapid. Researching or writing about this time through the lens of only one discipline would clearly have short-changed this era. Neither Altschuler nor Fischer and McPherson allowed that to occur and, in a sense, showed academic bravery for writing a serious book about our social history with rock and roll interwoven throughout.
A good read.......2003-09-02
A fine and compelling read, even if the author fails to nail down the premise in the subtitle. One or two factual errors don't detract from the overall fascinating story of the rise of rock and roll in the mid-1950s and the payola scandals of the late 1950s. Recommended.
A big part left out:.......2003-08-12
I just finished reading, "All Shook Up." Although some of Altschuler's sociological themes are very interesting, particularly those dealing with the lingering effects of rock and roll on white America, his discussions of the formative years of rock and roll and the seminal crosssover influences are vey weak, and from my perspective, inaccurate and superficial. Altschuler would like the reader to believe that it was primarily big name individuals (Presley, Berry, Boone, Nelson, etc.) who were the most influential in bringing rock and roll to the general culture. Although individual musicians played an important role in the evolution of rock and roll, it was the early rhythm and blues and doo wop groups that provided the most important and earliest crossover influences. There are many other books dealing with the early influence of such groups, but in this book, they are given relatively little attention compared to individual singers. Also, having grown up in the forties and fifties in Brooklyn, New York, my recollections are quite different from the accounting presented in this book. By the time Presley, Berry and other individuals mentioned in this book arrived on the scene, the crossover process was well underway. What happened before Presley, etc. is a critical part of the historical record and warrants much more attention than is presented in this book. In reading this book, I had the same feeling that I have had visiting the Rock and Roll of Fame - the creative and historical influences of rock and roll on our culture are lost, relatively speaking, to name recognition occurring several generations down the road.

An O.K. Book........2006-11-06
This book was okay. Hart Jones kissed Madison Finn and she made a new friend, Madhur. The conference was the exciting part of the story and I would recommend this book to anyone who likes helping the world or who likes romances or friendships. Others, maybe not. Read the book All Shook Up if you'd like. Of all 200 books I read in my whole life, this is around 30 or so. That is really just okay! Read the book! You will regret it if you don't!
Finally!.......2006-10-12
The only really good thing about this book is that Madison and Hart Jones FINALLY KISS! It took her 24 books just so they can kiss. Well, Madhur part in the book was pretty wierd, and very predictable. And when Maddie lead the Nations Leader thing, it wasn't very interesting. The only thing that really intrests me in these books are Hart, the animal shelter, her BFFs, and someting her laptop. THis one is an okay one, but some of the books are better like #13 and #20. I hope this didn't give away to much of the book. And if you are searhing for a good book, read CLICK HERE TO SEE HOW I SURVIVED SEVENT GRADE by Denise Vega. If you can't find it, just look it up here at amazon.com! Thanks for reading my review! :)

A delightfully funny story.......2004-10-23
Courtesy of CK2S Kwips and Kritiques
If readers want a delightfully funny story, full of adventure and romance, then All Shook Up is a must read.
Marly Brentwood is in need of a break. She was engaged to someone she worked with at her father's company, and was all set to get married. Until she found out that he had a deal with her father - she gets a husband and her husband gets a corner office! Thoroughly humiliated at the thought of being "bought and paid for," she breaks it off, quits her job, and takes a solo trip to Las Vegas for an adventure.
Josh Walker also works with Marley, and happens to be the reason she found out about Larry, her now ex, and his deal with her Dad. He feels slightly guilty about what happened, but is relieved at the same time that she got out of that bad situation, even if it meant she walked into a new one by taking off for Vegas, alone.
Marley has a wild time in Vegas, living it up and finally giving her hidden wild side a chance to show. And shine she does, waking up in the morning not remembering much about the previous night, and what's this? She has a nice shiny diamond on her hand? She got married? She is even more shocked to find out just who she got married to... none other then her nemesis Josh! What follows are many hilarious moments, and could it be.... Love?
Marley is a modern woman, who though on the surface seems prim and proper and all business, is really an adventurous woman who has just been stifled and needs a chance to break free again. When she finally gets the chance to let loose, she decides she likes the new Marley and is not quite ready to give that up. Seeing Marley's growth from all business and afraid to have fun, into the woman who is proud of who she is and willing to take some risks, especially in love, was a fun ride and one that may make readers realize they can be more than they are.
There were plenty of interesting plot threads in the book as well. When one finds out the real reason Josh is so worried about Marley, it is intriguing enough to keep one reading on to see how everything resolves itself. When Marley finds this out as well, readers will really get a chance to see the new woman she has become, and will be cheering her on in her new attitude and strength. A couple other twists in the story also will surprise... they sure surprised this reviewer.
Ms. Stenzel is an up and coming author who is one to watch, as evidenced with All Shook Up. This was the first book of hers read by this reviewer, but she will now be going back and pulling Ms. Stenzel's previous two books off the bookshelf to read.

Worth a read........2004-10-17
Marley discovers she's part of a business deal her Father has made with her...fiance. Humiliated and trying to be impulsive, possibly for the first time, she takes off on an adventure to Las Vegas. Marley arrives and starts to party only to wake up the morning after MARRIED and with no idea to whom she married.
A nice love story. A nice light read.

A caesura with Elvis.......2003-09-16
This book does contain some great poetry, although the best one ever, ALL THESE YEARS OF TEARS by fan club president Thorne Peters was not among them. I thought a lot of it was corny and perhaps the compilers of this book could've been more selective in their choices.
All Shook Up will surprise you.......2001-10-10
_All Shook Up_ will surprise you. The sheer number of serious poets who have written seriously about Elvis-from Bukowski to Ai-was a revelation to me. You won't find any puff homages (except maybe Richard Blessing's "Elegy") or cheesy verse love-letters here. On the other hand, if you've always thought of poetry as dry and elevated stuff, _All Shook Up_ will change your thinking on that count too. There's no shortage of humor and poetic play in the collection (Fleda Brown Jackson's "Elvis Reads" imagines Elvis doing a reading of Yeats), and many of the authors seem to acknowledge a soft spot in their heart for Elvis-or in the heart of America, at least. The intriguing and sometimes confessional contributor's notes in the back make that evident. Thanks to a smart introduction by the editor, Will Clemens, and original photographs by Jon Hughes which punctuate the text, _All Shook Up_ adds up to more than the sum of its parts. In the words of the editor, the collection is about the "connection between the historical and mythical status of Elvis and ... poetic imagery." In bringing together the high and the low of American cultural production, the collection makes a valid case for the continued relevance of poetic vision in a country that often seems to be (or wants to be) post-literary. You will discover from this collection that poetry, like Elvis, lives on in America.
A "must" for all Elvis fans everywhere.......2001-07-05
Illustrated with the photography of Jon Hughes, All Shook Up is an amazing compendium of poetry about Elvis Presley. Will Clemens provides an informative introduction to poetry about a now legendary American music icon by a number of poets whose work ranges from 1957 to 1999 and is a "must" for all Elvis fans everywhere. Elvis Presley: Two minutes long it pitches through some bar:/Unreeling from a corner box, the sigh/Of this one, in his gangling finery/And crawling sideburns, wielding a guitar.//The Limitations where he found success/Are ground on which he, panting, stretches out/In turn, promiscuously, by every note./Our idiosyncrasy and our likeness.//We keep ourselves in touch with a mere dime:/Distorting hackneyed words in hackneyed songs/He turns revolt into a style, prolongs/The impulse to a habit of the time.//Whether he poses or is real, not cat/Bothers to say: the pose held is a stance,/Which, generation of the very chance/It was on, may be posture for combat. Thom Gunn
