Naked in Death (In Death)

Summary: GRIPPING AND A PAGE TURNER
Review: THIS WAS MY FIRST BOOK BY J D ROBB AKA NORA ROBERTS AND I CANNOT WAIT TO GET MY HANDS ON THE NEXT BOOK. EVE AND ROARKE ARE A GREAT COUPLE AND I LIKE THE IDEA OF GETTING TO KNOW THE CHARACTERS IN THE BOOKS TO FOLLOW. GOOD MYSTERY AND HARD TO PUT DOWN. THE FUTURISTIC PART ADDS TO IT BUT IT DOES NOT TAKE AWAY FROM THE MYSTERY, JUST ADDS ANOTHER ELEMENT TO THE STORY.

Summary: The "Death" Books start here!
Review: From the first book to the most recent, I am still hooked. Go past the fact that this is a futuristic NYC. The gadgets are only secondary to the romance and the mysteries that have to be solved. I have told friends about these books and hooked them too. J.D. Robb aka Nora Roberts has a hit series on her hands. Her writing ability makes her characters real and enjoyable. Order and enjoy every one of them. You have my word that this is a series worth getting hooked on!

Summary: Good premise, but that's it
Review: A cop in 2058 New York? Bring on the gadgets! Eve Dallas is a good character, and if Ms. Roberts wasn't a romance novelist this could have been a heck of a series. But since she is, she brings in Roarke, the mysterious Daniel Day-Lewis clone Irish billionaire (yeah, I bet New York street cops run into them EVERY day), who proceeds to promptly destroy any credibility Ms. Roberts had going with the story. As much as I hate to admit it, I've read every book in the series (before I gave up reading romance and "romantic suspense" in disgust). All you'll get is futuristic gadgetry combined with mundane murders and pedestrian sex scenes. Hey, Nora, just a bit of advice--even the most in-love couples don't have mind-blowing sex every time. Bottom line--Nora Roberts fans will and do adore this series, others beware!

Summary: A brilliant first book in a brilliant series
Review: Nakes in Death is gutsy, tough, gritty and brilliant. Seldom is the mixture of suspense and romance as wonderfully done as in this book. We also get to see the "toys" we might use in sixty years. I bought this and devoured it in one day. Eve and Roarke are engaging characters, and thankfully, there are just more and more books about them.

Summary: Naked in Death Review
Review: As my first J.D Robb book and being a fan of Nora Roberts I found this book facinating. Once I started to read it, I found it hard to put down. The combination of Mystery/Romance/Suspense and Sci-fi is really hard to resist. I am now an avid J.D Robb fan and can hardly wait for my next order to come.

Summary: What a Find!
Review: I love this book so much! Ever since I discovered this series I have been rereading them over and over again. From Naked in Death to Loyalty in Death, I have enjoyed all 9 of these books (plus one short story), but Naked in Death is by far my favorite. Eve Dallas is such a strong, capable woman, and Roarke is sexy, rich, and so sweet. This murder-mystery/romance is steamy, surprising, and a keeper.

Summary: Eve Dallas is my hero!
Review: I just finished the first four books in the series, and I've enjoyed them all. Nora Roberts has created some wonderful characters in this series. Eve is great--a dedicated cop who is haunted by her past; prickly, wary, a loyal friend to those few she calls friend, and surprised she's in love with Roarke. HE is gorgeous (I keep seeing Pierce Brosnan), rich, shady, totally dedicated to Eve, and indulges her shamelessly despite her protests. Peabody is a refreshing addition to the cast of characters. The stories are great, the bad guys not TOO easy to figure out, and the characters have depth and believability, as well as suprising flashes of humor that leaves the reader chuckling delightedly. Keep 'em coming, J.D. Robb!

Summary: Didn't enjoy as much as her previous books
Review: These books were recommended by a lot of people. I am a mystery AND romance buff. The problem I have with this series is that I dislike the heroine so much I can't go any further with it. Also, I read the jacket of the second in the series and though what the heck? Roarke (the male lead) was AGAIN the prime suspect. What's up with that???

Summary: Gripping.The book just reaches out and grabs you!
Review: I think this was a wonderful first book to an exciting series.I started with this book and the next thing I know I've finished all the books in this 8+ book series.I am holding on to my seat for the next book by J.D.Robb.

Summary: This book is unbelievable!
Review: I could not put this book down. Eve and Roarke are the hottest couple in print today. I love the mystery but I love the romance even more. These two are so hot I'm surprised the book doesn't go up into flames in my hands. I have reread Naked In Death at least three times and it never gets old. The whole series is great but start with Naked and go in order because it's better that way. Roarke is the ideal lover. Rich, powerful, dangerous, sexy and totally in love with Eve Dallas. Now that is one lucky woman! Eve is a great heroine. She is smart, brave, independent and loyal. At the same time she has a past that makes her vulnerable, too. She is a real person not some flat character. I can not wait for Loyalty In Death to come out. The only bad thing is I finish them so fast. Keep writing about Eve and Roarke, Nora Roberts. Your fans will be forever grateful.
