Naked In Death by J.D. Robb

I was feeling slightly down the other day, and I needed a book to pick me up. One of my comfort series, is the In Death series by J.D. Robb, so I reread Naked In Death. Naked In Death is the first book in the series and is where Roarke and Eve first meet. I love the relationship between Roarke and Eve.

Eve Dallas is a New York police lieutenant using her instincts to hunt for a ruthless killer. And she’s going against every warning telling her not to get involved with Roarke, an Irish billionaire—and a suspect in Eve’s murder investigation. But passion and seduction have rules of their own.

Before this series I was not a fan of futuristic novels, but J.D. Robb does a wonderful job creating a believable future world with a romantic twist. I love how she creates a future world, and how different things will be. J.D. put so much thought and planning into creating a different world.

Lt. Eve Dallas is tough as nails, but Roarke is her soft spot. The relationship is steamy, which the perfect match to her steel personality. Before meeting Roarke, Eve was by the book and wouldn't risk her job for anyone. She believed that if she wasn't a cop then she was nothing. In Naked in Death Eve risks her badge when it comes to Roarke, she knows he is innocent and has to prove it.

Multi-billionaire Roarke is tasty. He is a top specimen of a man, that will have you panting. I loved how Roarke was with Eve. Before they met each other they both thought their lives were complete. Eve didn't believe cops should marry, and Roarke had relationships with women but never let one as close as Eve.

Both to Eve's dismay and delight the murder investigation throws her and Roarke together almost daily. As Eve eliminates him as a suspect, she is drawn to Roarke, and their relationship really starts to heat up. The murderer is somewhat surprising and the first time I read it I didn't catch on until close to the end.

No matter how many times I read Naked in Death, I am always rapped up in the story. Naked in Death is an instantly likable, full of action novel that has enough for both mystery and romance lovers. Naked in Death will keep you guessing right until the very end.
