Summary: Fantastic!
Review: "Loyalty in Death" by J.D. Robb finds our tough-as-nails heroine, Lieutenant Eve Dallas of the NYPSD, pitted against a group of terrorists. This enigmatic group, known only as Cassandra, has no clear motive for the death and destruction they are causing. Indeed, it is simply the thrill of murdering the innocent and the fun of senseless destruction of property that they thrive on.
So Eve, with a little help along the way from her handsome and brilliant husband Roarke, sets about finding the trail that will lead to these murdering terrorists. She uncovers a connection to a mystery that began decades before and begins putting together the pieces. But when the threats from Cassandra get a little too personal, Eve shows her true grit by putting her life on the line to save those she loves!
I really can't say enough good things about this book. The mystery is thrilling and fun, and puts a fresh spin on what could have been a rather mundane topic. Eve and Roarke's relationship is as satisfying as ever in this instalment, and is still full of heart-pounding passion and exquisite tenderness. I have become so attached to Eve, Roarke and company that I feel like they are old friends - which makes picking up each new book that much better. I fly through each of Robb's books in record time, simply because I can't put them down.
"Loyalty in Death" is a first-rate romantic suspense novel, in a series that is sure to impress. One word of warning though - don't start reading these books if you can't afford to buy all 13 of them, because once you read one, you have to read them all! Robb's "In Death" series is absolutely irresistible - with it's vivid and lovable characters, fascinating futuristic setting, and ever-entertaining storylines - you just can't go wrong!

Summary: Loyal to the Few, Destroy the Masses
Review: In this the 9th book of the In Death Series, Lt. Eve Dallas comes into contact with a killer so in control and smooth that killer appears to be almost serene. When Eve gets this case one person dies and through a series of strategic attacks against the masses the loyal few begin to see the results they're searching for. The question is can Eve stop the loyal few before more innocent people die?

Summary: Another Winner!!!
Review: This addition to the "in Death" series, Loyalty in Death, has a group of terrorists named Cassandra planting bombs to kill alot of people. There are no demands being made at firstm, and there doesn't seem to be a motive for the bombings. Eve figures out , that the terrorist groups roots began many years before. The ending is very intense as both Eve's life, and Roarkes, are threatened as they close in on the main source behind this group. This was the best book yet in this excellent series! I don't know how Nora Roberts (a.k.a JD Robb) does it, but she keeps whipping out really great stories! The "in Death" series has been very exciting to read each book, and getting to know the characters a little better with each book!

Summary: Another One You Can't Put Down
Review: In this entry into a series set in the near future, a bomber is attacking New York City, and he/she is sending letter touting NYPD Detective Eve Dallas. She is the kind of cop who takes these things personally and, if you're a criminal, you do not want to get Eve mad at you. This is a fine series with strongly written characters - even the minor ones - and good plots. It really deserves a wider audience than it seems to have. The series should be read in order so the reader gets to know the characters and watch the author, a well-known writer using a pseudonym, develop the characters.

Summary: One of my favourites in the series
Review: This series keeps getting better, but Loyalty in particular grabbed me and held me from beginning to end. It was tense and thrilling, tender and funny. You get a rare glimpse into Roarke's inner self, and when he and Eve work together in the field, wild, wonderful, and funny things ensue. Granted, the identity of the culprit is easy to figure out, but the storytelling around it makes the book one Nora Roberts' best.

Summary: Loyalty in Death...you won't be disappointed in this one!
Review: The latest addition to the "...in Death" series, Loyalty in Death, has a group of terrorists named Cassandra setting off murderous bombs. There are no demands being made and there doesn't seem to be a motive for the bombings. Eve finds out through her brilliant detective work, that the terrorist groups roots began many years before. There's an edge of your seat ending that threatens both Eve's life and Roarkes as they close in on the brains behind the group. This was one of my favorite books in this fantastic series. Start with the first, Naked in Death, and read the whole series if you haven't yet.

Summary: EVERYTHING I want in a series.....
Review: Full developement of the basic cast Mavis,Peabody, McNab, Sommerset, incredible! Interesting Hi-Tech, Sci Fi gadgets, mad bomber aka Militant faction... lots of twists & plot turns. A real page turner, could hardly read it fast enough. But then I had to linger over the wonderful realtionship & interplay with Eve & Roarke... Sexy at it's best. No matter how hard Eve tries, Roarke is in the thick of things. Just where we all want him to be.

Summary: Great Series
Review: I've read the whole series, in order, and this is the best book of the lot. The romance between Eve and Roarke continues to develop, and Peabody and McNab seem to be going their own way as well. If you like strong, gutsy heroines and men with a sense of humour, as well as a touch of futurist fantasy, you'll enjoy this book. Fans of Honor Harrington, take note - were she in the same time and galaxy as Honor, Eve would give our girl a run for the money. I hope Ms. Robb continues this series for as long as she can - it's one of the better ones, with enough touch of darkness to keep it interesting and enough romance/sex to keep it fun.

Summary: An exquisite love story and a cracking good mystery.
Review: The "In Death" series is very nearly perfect - I've seen reviews from readers who say the plots are not realistic - I have enough reality in my life - that's why I read romantic mysteries. The dialogue between Eve and Roarke is marvelous, as it is between McNab and Peabody, and I adore the fact that Summerset cuddles Galahad when neither thinks anyone is watching. The love scenes between Eve and Roarke are exquisite - graphic enough to be exciting but never slipping over the line to distasteful. Roarke, of course, is everything most of us want in a man, and he adores his Darling Eve who is tough, smart and totally at sea as to why this man should love her so desperately. All the characters are developing at their own delightful pace. I have read this whole series to tatters. When I receive a new J. D. Robb, I gulp it down in one sitting, then go back immediately and reread every word. I have no idea where Ms. Robb will take us next, but I know I'm going to enjoy the journey and I can hardly wait for it to begin.
