*sigh* I found out Eve’s answer. How awesome for them both. I’m glad Robb skipped ahead in time again and took us closer to the big day. I loved watching Eve and Roarke’s nerves. Of course, neither of them was worried for the same reasons. Eve worried about making it work long term and Roarke worried about Eve going through with it. LOL.

How awesome for them both. I’m glad Robb skipped ahead in time again and took us closer to the big day. I loved watching Eve and Roarke’s nerves. Of course, neither of them was worried for the same reasons. Eve worried about making it work long term and Roarke worried about Eve going through with it. LOL.

Eve’s team is expanded beyond the usual people—namely, Feeney. Eve pulls in Peabody, a cop she took a shine to in the last book, and finds herself stuck having to cooperate with a cop from another department. Although Eve has dealt with Roarke being involved in her two previous cases (that we’ve seen, I mean), she suddenly finds herself faced with Mavis’s involvement. We see a very stressed and vulnerable Eve here as she struggles to juggle doing her job with protecting her friend.

I loved getting to see more of Mavis here. She’s loud and flamboyant, but she loves Eve to pieces. It may be an unlikely pairing on the surface, but they have a very strong bond. I think Mavis being involved hurt Eve more than Roarke being involved in the past because Mavis is more easily bruised than he is. She thinks of Roarke as stronger and knows he can stand of his own. With Mavis, Eve is furious to find herself forced to hurt her and scare her as she does her job.

It was pretty awesome to finally have a clear picture of what led to Eve being found when she was a child. The flashbacks were disturbing and hard to read. Just as with the murders we’ve seen so far, Robb pulls no punches with the truth of Eve’s situation. We are faced with the grim and horrifying truth up close and personal. There is no way I could have remained unaffected. I’m glad she shared with Roarke, but I was ready to strangle her there for a while. I know what led her to say the things she did about their future together, but I felt that she needlessly (and thoughtlessly) wounded Roarke. I’m glad Dr. Mira was able to help them both through that situation.

Speaking of that situation, it showed me another side of Summerset. I have disliked him pretty consistently til now, but he finally softened me. How can I not thaw just a little bit after hearing about his past with Roarke and seeing the way he cared for Eve when she had a nightmare? He’s still a jerk, but now that I’ve seen his marshmallow heart I don’t think I can hate him.

There were quite a few amusing scenes in this book. Eve is forced out of her comfort zone to help cheer Mavis up and to prep for the big day. She’s stuck getting her hair cut, getting naked in front of multiple people for vanity’s sake, and is forced to endure someone rubbing crap on her boobs too. ;) I’m sure you know how well that went over. Mavis and her crew are hilarious simply by being them—over the top, wonderful them. But the part that I really loved was toward the end when Mira, Peabody, Nadine, and Mavis all got together with Eve and got drunk. Peabody in particular was amusing.

I found parts of this slower than the previous two. I loved all the personal stuff, but some of the case work felt a little tedious. That slight slowness is really the only thing that dropped the grade. I just had a hard time getting into parts of it.

Another winner for me, mostly because of the relationships and interaction between characters. I was lovely to see more of Mavis, get to know Peabody...And see yet another step in the Eve/Roarke relationship evolution.

Well-written, nicely paced, good mystery plot (I wonder how many motives can an author invent to carry on a series)—loved the drug angle and description...

Another winner from the In Death Series, I'm going to be sad when I finish these. In this one Eve Dallas, NYPSD officer in the year 2058, takes officer Peabody- a young officer we meet in the last book-under her wing, tries to clear her best friend of murder while balancing the fact that her repressed childhood memories are coming back to her and oh yeah, she's getting married.

If the rest of the In Death books are like these first three, then I'm going to be in romantic suspense heaven for a long while. Unlike most of my Goodreads friends, I read rather slowly (only have a couple of hours a day) and I have the entire In Death series to get through.

Bliss.

I'm finding that I'm as engrossed in the murder mystery as I am in Eve and Roarke's romance. Though Immortal (Book 3)focuses more on Eve's current case, Roarke makes his presence felt. I was co...more

4 Stars...I really liked it

"Immortal" wasn't quite the 5 Star the previous 2 books were, but it was dang close. Mrs. Roberts is truly a master storyteller and she rarely lets me down. Immortal (unlike the others) did lack the "must turn the page now, can't do anything else" feeling for me, but it was a great fast paced read, and at the end of the story this fine author (and in the words of my 4 year old son) really throws you for a loopty loop...

Lieutenant Eve Dallas uncovers a world where technology can create beauty and youth, but passion and greed can destroy them. She was one of the most sought-after women in the world. A top model who would stop at nothing to get what she wanted -even another woman's man. And now she's dead, the victim of a brutal murder. Police lieutenant Eve Dallas puts her life on the line to take the case when suspicion falls on her best friend, the other woman in the fatal love triangle. Beneath the facade of glamor, Eve finds that the world of high fashion thrives on an all-consuming obsession with youth and fame-one that leads her from the lights of the runway to the dark underworld of New York City, where drugs can fulfill any desire, for a price.
Happily continuing with the third instalment of the in death series,

Immortal in Death was truly wonderful and kept me guessing right until the end! I really had no idea who the murder was and that made it all that more enjoyable for me! I really enjoying seeing the same small group of people become a bigger part of Dallas life and see Dallas grow and become a happier person because of these changes, along with the ever persuasive Roarke always steady at her side. I loved seeing Dallas and Peabody become co-workers and friends and see how Dallas was an inspiration and even a helper to Peabody. I can’t wait to read more about these two and see how their friendship and working relationship with change and hopefully grow.
Oh Roarke! He’s so dreamy! He’s always got Dallas back no matter what and hates being left out of her work life even when it goes against Dallas’ nature to include him; he always gets his way and oh Roarke! He’s so dreamy! (This may become a theme throughout me reading this series but I hope you can forgive me!) I loved seeing how Dallas coped with getting ready for her wedding to Roarke and the fact that she was trying so hard to do the right thing with her case and trying to work her personal life with it and around it. I adored how Dallas and Mavis coped with the situation of ‘was Mavis the murderer’ for most of the book and yet they still trusted each other and needed each other. I also enjoyed how you get more on Dallas background and what she suffered as a child.

Favourite Quote:
She allowed the fatigue to seep back, linked her arms around his neck. ‘You going to tuck me in again?’
‘All right.’ He hitched up her hips so that her legs wrapped around him. ‘But this time you stay where I tuck you.’
‘You know, Roarke, my heart just flutters when you get masterful.’
‘Wait till I get you back in the bed. It’s going to flutter plenty’.

As a side note, I’m really liking the covers for this series so far, especially the cover for Immortal in Death. At first when I bought the book I thought ‘ooooo pretty flower’ but now after reading it I totally get and think it’s great.

Overall, I loved Immortal in Death and loving this series and can’t get enough of it.(less)

I absolutely admire the writing style she uses. Zero purple prose, but not without details when apporiate to help create a interesting picture. Put simply, she gets the hell out the way to let the characters and their actions do most the talking. Really, alot of writer's could learn from reading this series on that basis. To borrow an old adage, "Just tell the damn story." And Roberts does that very well.

Yet, on the other hand, we have Nora Roberts, the story and character creationist. This is where the writer in me shakes his head in dismay, because quite frankly, Roberts sucks in this area. This book, as with the other two, can drift between serious, dark situations, to being completely juvenile and then back again within a second. Character's literally break their own parameters, just for a moment or two of being "witty". The biggest offender is, of course, the main protagonist, Eve Dallas. She's supposed to be this tough-ass cop. You know, the type that can kick any man's ass. I buy that idea pretty well, and Roberts sells it well for the most part, but then, forcefully, Roberts tries to inject some girly aspects into Eve at certain points, and this is where you just wanna say "Bullshit." It's not that she shouldn't have a soft side, but at times, it's simply not done convincingly for someone's who's supposed to be a kick-ass cop with socialibilty problems. When she's with Roarke, things seem all sweet and rosey. Nothing can ever be wrong! Sure they have their hiccups, but so what? Roarke is portrayed as such a dashing and perfect *man*, he simply will never do any wrong. It's almost like the wish-fulfillment of Edward's role in Twilight, though no where near the disguisting and horrendous levels that piece of garbage indugles in.

Still, it leaves one wishing there was more substance to the relationship dynamic between the two. Despite the completely different backgrounds, they supposdly *understand* each other, which is why there love is true. Both had shitty childhoods, yada yada, mary sue-esqse backgrounds for their mary sue-esqse love story. WE get it, they're PERFECT lovers. It hardly begs any debate. And when the mellow drama can't get any worse, Eve remembers how her father raped and abused her, and of course, how she *dun dun dun* killed him. Yeah, like any person who I suppose has read a few of Roberts books couldn't have seen that retarded twist coming.

Which brings me to another issue that these books suffer from. Too much formula and predictability. All three of these books are basically the same, only the plot details are mixed up. There's always a murder case, there's always silly twist, and there's always sex(though shockingly,not alot actually compared to the other two books). It's bad when you connect two unrelated crimes before the actual protagonist does. Yea, that makes her seem real good at her job. To think that there are twenty-six books in the series. I really fail to see how Roberts will shake things up--especially considering they get hitched in this book. For the women looking forward to the big wedding day, hold your breath. After all the build up, she doesn't even write it. Like breaking a few extra pages past 300 would have hurt anything. That's like a biggest FU to fans if I've ever seen one.

But despite all my belly aching, this book isn't bad at all, but they certianly aren't much for intelligence or being deep, or any real commentary exploring the human condition. You know, what fiction is supposed to do. The characater's might fall into 2D terriorty in some ways, but they're at least colorful and fun at times. Roberts no wasted writing helps alleviate what would otherwise be a tortueous undertaking. I recommend the series for a fun break inbetween much more serious books. There fun, guilty-pleasure stories, but mostly none of the ass-hattery invovled with crappy romance novels. Which, ironically, is what makes Nora Roberts so popular among her audience, and why I can't read a single book by her that isn't from this series.

I will continue on with the 4th one eventually, wondering when exactly the shark will be ready to jump off. . .(less)

And although she may only have a very select number friends, those people have her loyalty and she will protect them with all she's worth.

Speaking of Summerset; I said I would find out what was going on with him, I knew he wasn't just the hired help, and we do find out a lot more about him in this book. I think there might even be more to come.

In finding out about Summerset we also get more of an insight into Roarke's past. Up until now, we have definitely been getting more of Eve's back story than Roarke's, so it was nice to get a story from him. One that didn't involve one of his past lovers! Okay I know he's gorgeous and owns 20% of the world, but does he have to have slept with every beautiful woman Eve stumbles upon? It would bother me a whole lot more than it's bothering Eve, let me tell you. To be fair though. there's a little bit of the green eyed monster coming from Roarke's side of the fence in this book, too. A colleague of Eve's is seen to be showing what Roarke considers and unhealthy interest in her and he openly admits it bothers him. I actually really liked that scene, the way he sheepishly shoved his hands in his pockets, looking at the ground, while she grinned like a loon.

There is more form Eve regarding her own hellish past. The dreams have become more frequent and have taken on a flashback quality, rather than just the snippets she was getting before. She is finally able to recall exactly how she came to be in that alley at 8 years old bloodied and broken. It's hard to read and it's hard for Roarke to hear. These were excellent scenes. Roarke is so supportive and patient. Even when she's being ridiculous and trying to rush out the door, ashamed.

The crime in this story revolved around a drug case, but as it's set in the future it's an interesting new drug with fascinating properties and side effects.

I kind of guessed who the bad guy was but I was still open minded and would have been happy to have been proved wrong.

I'm loving this series. 3 down, 37 to go:)(less)

While all the books in this series focus on murder, there was a twist to this one, bringing it close to home when Eve's best friend Mavis is implicated as the murderer. I thought that this was a pleasant change because, really, it would have been really obnoxious if Roarke was one of the suspects again. There are only so many time he can be implicated. So yeah, I liked that change. I liked, also, that this case was even more personal for Eve than the last. She had to deal with arresting her best friend, for heaven's sake! On top of that, she was planning her wedding to Roarke. Such a busy, busy girl. So busy that she missed who the real murderer was until he was trying to kill her too! (Naturally I had this figured out way beforehand since it was painfully obvious.)

I have to say something about Summerset before I go on with this review. I cannot tell you how much I wanted to punch that man when he bitched Eve out for arresting Mavis when she had no choice. Damn you, Summerset! I was very upset about this. Just ask Sam. But, I suppose I have a rather small liking for him now after he took care of Eve when she had a nightmare and Roarke wasn't there yet.

As always, I adored Roarke. I don't know how you could not love this man. He's so...special. I don't even know what to say about him. He's just so damn awesome. And Eve, just I keep on loving her more and more. Seriously. If I was into girls, I would totally go for her. I continue to love and adore Feeney and I'm starting to really like Peabody. Also, I'm glad to have back the Commander Whitney that I know and love, and the new chief is really great too. Just an all-around great cast of characters.

I wish I had learned of this series early on so that I could have started following it much sooner, never mind the fact that the first book was published when I was only three years old, because now I'm forced to catch up! However, I am making very good progress if you ask me. Case in point, I got the next five just yesterday! Roarke, here I come!(less)

I don't know that I'd listen to another one of this addictive series - I found the female narrator's "sexy" faux-Irish Roarke voice a bit cringeworthy, and this particular novel involves both the usual hot & heavy sex scene and Eve's graphic remembrances of her childhood abuse, neither of which I particularly enjoyed having read to me.

But if you are looking to solve a mystery along with Eve then you will be disappointed since you cannot solve this book on your own. J. D. Robb keeps too much information out which makes this is impossible, but the ...more

Bello bello bello!

"Di lì a poche settimane non sarebbe più stata soltanto Eve Dallas, tenente della Squadra Omicidi; sarebbe stata la moglie di Roarke. Come avrebbe fatto a conciliare le due cose era per lei un profondo mistero, la cui soluzione le sembrava più intricata di quella di qualsiasi caso su cui avesse mai dovuto indagare."

Sullo sfondo dei preparativi per il matrimonio, Eve Dallas deve far fronte sia agli incubi sempre più pressanti sulla sua infanzia, sia...more

This is one of my favorite In Death books. I think because this is the first time we really see Eve open up. She shows a lot of emotional growth here, plus she opens the door to new friendships.

It was easy to figure out who the killer was, but I still enjoyed the basic plot and watching Eve and her team work it out. I was disappointed in the timeline of the investigation though. It seems strange that both Eve and Roarke would be working right up until the night of the wedding.

It all starts with Eve going wedding dress shopping with Mavis. She's found this totally "mag" new designer would she's just SURE will design Eve the PERFECT dress. The fact that Mavis is sleeping with Leonardo, which Eve doesn't find out until she gets there, is a bit fishy though. But it turns out he's a freaking brilliant genius and totally sweet and totally in love with Mavis. While she's there, getting measurements taken (NUDE, btw), this CRAZY...moreThis one was SO good!

It all starts with Eve going wedding dress shopping with Mavis. She's found this totally "mag" new designer would she's just SURE will design Eve the PERFECT dress. The fact that Mavis is sleeping with Leonardo, which Eve doesn't find out until she gets there, is a bit fishy though. But it turns out he's a freaking brilliant genius and totally sweet and totally in love with Mavis. While she's there, getting measurements taken (NUDE, btw), this CRAZY ex-girlfriend of Leonardo's (Pandora) comes in and makes this HUGE HUGE scene... and it's not good.

Anyway, people start dying, starting with one of Eve's informants... seems there's a new illegal drug making its way around... BAD NEWS! And then that night, Mavis calls Eve to tell her she just woke up in Leonardo's apartment and that Pandora is dead, and she doesn't remember what happened! EEK! Mavis's fingerprints are on the murder weapon and it's just BAD. So she's the primary suspect in the murder, and Eve has to do everything she can to clear her best friend! It's pretty intense!

Again, the ending was awesomely intense. They've booked a guy for the 4 murders, but it just isn't sitting well with Eve. She doesn't like it, and she's expressed that to Roarke. So, Eve is at her bachelorette party at this bar with Mavis, Nadine, Dr. Mira, Peabody (who I REALLY like so far!), etc., but she decides not to drink, because she wants to be totally clear-headed for her wedding to Roarke the next morning. She realizes, while there, who really murdered the FIVE people (the framed guy did NOT O.D., turns out!).... and of course, the guy shows up at the club. Meanwhile, at the bachelor party, which Feeney is attending, Roarke, who has also been thinking about what Eve told him, enlists Feeney's help to hack some computers and they, independently, realize who really did it. Roarke heads to the club to tell Eve. He finds Eve in a fight to the death with the big baddy... It was CRAZY AWESOME!

And then the next day, Roarke and Eve get married, even though I think Eve was covered in bruises... In her Leonardo-designed bronze gown... :)(less)

I read this one years ago (I think it was the first of the series I ever read) So now that I am trying to read all 30 of them in a month I had to rent this on audio book (my first ever) I have to say that I hate listening to these books read all by a woman using different accents for all of the characters is horrible. My sexy vision of Roarke has been ruined, in my mind he now sounds like a Grandma from Newfoundland. I am weeping a bit inside. Yesterday he was my Irish dream man with black hair ...more

Eve Dallas, one hundred percent cop, is getting married. Roarke, the Irish billionaire with the face of an angel, is the groom. Seeing the wedding actually take place surrounded by murder and intrigue is truly delightful.

Seeing the introduction of Leonardo and Trina and the build up of Peadody and Mavis is great. Watching how Eve and Roarke come to terms with the feelings they have for each other is sweet. Watching how well they work as a team is even better.

Knowing that Eve is remembering mor...more
