Summary: Book # 1 of Top Blended Genre Series; Favorite Hero In Polls
Review: Nora Roberts decided to do mystery in addition to romance and even threw some sci-fi into the mix. She thus created Eve Dallas, a detective with the NYPD 2050, and Roarke, the richest man on earth, who rose from obscure Irish poverty. Further, the author made Roarke a murder suspect, Eve the detective and the rest became history. This duo is still going strong in this continuing series, which wins readers from both the romance and mystery genres daily. In fact, Roarke usually wins the best romance hero category every time there is a polling of readers for favorite heroes. Eve and Roarke together often win Best Couple. Many women readers have even successfully passed these books onto their husbands for bedside reading. I've read this one and the three that follow it. I have another 4 or so in my to-be-read stack. In a way, the duo remind me of Nick and Nora Charles but set in future day, even more decadent and dissolute New York City. Even though she uses the name Robb for these books, everyone knows it is bestselling romance author Nora Roberts who writes them.

Summary: A great start to a great series
Review: _Naked in Death_ is the first book in J.D. Robb's In Death series. It's set in New York City in 2058, and it's main character is Lt. Eve Dallas, a homicide investigator with a troubled past. One of the main suspects in her investigation is Roarke, a darkly seductive Irish billionaire who seems to own just about everything in the free world. I'm not generally a fan of Nora Roberts' mainstream romance books, and I read _Naked in Death_ because I was intrigued by the idea of a female homicide detective working in a futuristic atmosphere. This book has both gritty mystery and very satisfying romance-I think both mystery and romance fans won't be disappointed-and both Eve and Roarke are memorable characters.

Summary: Okay, nothing exciting
Review: JD Robb is exactly like Tami Hoag (except for Ashes to Ashes, as that was a great book!). I was after a light read after a few heavy crime novels and JD Robb's novel hit the spot. Unfortunately, now I remember why I got into great crime novels..to get away from the romantic suspense novels, that are basically Mills &Boon with a bit of crime thrown in to fill up the pages. I was able to read Naked In Death in a few hours, the plot is ok, nothing exciting but really, a billionaire that is still avaliable goes after a interesting looking cop, she has an affair with him & her superior doesn't really mind..ok. A bit of realism wouldn't go astray, but then again, this is really just a bit of fluff to fill my Saturday lunchtime at work. I don't think that I will be getting another JD Robb book again unless I was completely bored and the library burnt down.

Summary: very different
Review: from the nora roberts i love. because of all the hype surrounding this book by all those i know that read and love nora roberts, i was expecting something wonderful, but didnt really find it. the story itself is good, but i found myself confused at times as to what was going on and why things were included. eve is a spunky cop with a major attitude. roarke is a well to do who seems far out of eves league, but thru the magic of writting, they end up together trying to solve this case. i will more than likely read the following books in this series because i have them, but if i only had this one in my to be read pile, i doubt i would pick up the next in the series.

Summary: Oh why did I wait.....
Review: I was told that this was a romance/mystery/thriller set in the future-as I have never been hot to read those particular combinations together I waited. Even when I heard that Nora Roberts is JD. Then with nothing laying about to read I picked this up-and NEVER put it down. I think about what will happen with Eve and Roarke next....Just ordered the entire rest of the series...

Summary: Are we all talking about the same book?
Review: I could only get through 10 pages and had to put this book down. Does every book nowadays have to be the lowest common denominator in sexual projections. In 10 pages I noted that the book was antigun, pro homosexual,and anti high moral standards. I hate it when obvious political ideaologies get stuffed down the readers throats. Don't waste your time!

Summary: Naked in Death
Review: Nora Roberts has once again outdone herself in the Eve Dallas series! Sometimes her books seem rushed and cookie-cutter type writing, but she always hits the mark as J.D. Robb. I own every one and re-read them from time to time. In this installment, Eve Dallas looses none of her edge, her husband, Roarke, is ever sexy, and the future's gadgets are all (as Eve's best friend would say)"mag". The pace is fast and the story is good. I invite everyone who likes Romance with wonderful doses of adventure to read ALL of the J.D. Robb books!

Summary: Naked In Death
Review: This is truly an outstanding book. Well written and highly entertaining, it is more than your typical whodunit. The plot is well developed and the use of the futuristic setting lends much to the story. While not as cerebral (thank goodness) as some, Naked In Death holds one's interest in a strong grip. Truly one of the best I've read in a long time.

As she meets Billionaire Roarke, that's right just Roarke, Irish rogue, quite the scalawag. Eve must fight her way through to find a killer, deal with growing attraction to said rogue. It's so fun watching them deal with this "Grand Passion" neither expects nor wants. Nice and Spicy, Great mystery, real page tuner. This book has made me go and look for Nora Roberts books, she makes romance interesting, and never more so than here.
