Naked in Death

Product Information

Eve was found abandoned in a dreadful state in Dallas one evening when she was around eight years old, with no memory of her name or what came before, except for flashbacks which she isn’t ready to confront, preferring to push them to the back of her mind. I guess I *might* have been able to get behind the instalove and other corny quotes if the love interest's MO hadn't been following some kind of Abuser 101 Guide : indeed Roarke repeatedly uses both physical force and psychological harassment to manipulate the heroine into thinking that what they share is a love story.

Not too heavy on the sci-fi scene, police jargon or gore but the perfect balance of all three - not forgetting the romance of course - me-ow! If you enjoy stories that have a futuristic element without space wars with little green men, you need to get this book. The addition of just the right amount of romance adds to the story and the chemistry between Eve and Roarke was tangible. In the 21 st Century, prostitution is legal, regulated, and, while not exactly something you want your daughter to do for a living, the social stigma is not as great as in the past. Not to mention the lack of any 'wow factor', given how lousy and predictable the murder investigation was.As is so often the case, I do wonder how much of my trouble here is to do with this being the first book in a series. If I was making a purely emotional decision about this book, I would be giving it at least four stars. When a senator’s prostitute daughter is found brutally murdered Eve must solve the crime while fighting not only her attraction to her main suspect Roarke, one of the wealthiest men in the world and a man with secrets of his own but demons from her past as her memories begin to resurface.

In over ten years on the force, she's seen it all - and knows her survival depends on her instincts.ALSO, if you're into audiobooks, definitely, definitely worth a try, especially if you can pick them up from your library, and I'd imagine most would have them considering how popular and long-running this series is. D. Robb, features NYPSD ("New York City Police and Security Department") Lieutenant Eve Dallas and her husband Roarke and is set in a mid-21st century New York City. To be honest, I've gotten used to UF where you have plenty of fights and magic to make the book more interesting so I wasn't sure if a good old suspense would do the trick. She has very little memory of her early childhood before she was found abused and abandoned in a Dallas alleyway.

Eve has close to no personal life, rather her entire existence revolves around being a cop and representing the victims as she finds justice for them. The same forces at work in the present world are involved, hiding their ugliness behind a squeaky clean facade. But we’re supposed to be ok with all of his actions because he’s rich and sexy and will do anything for Eve. My Roarke (David Gandy) – Even though Roarke is supposed to have longer hair, I think David Gandy is certainly gorgeous enough and has that teasing “rich bad-boy” look about him to suit Roarke’s personality.

The “Glida-Grill” I assume is a futuristic New York hot dog stand that glides from place to place rather than being set up on a particular corner? The world-building is smooth, with just enough details for the reader to coprehend what everything that's mentioned is but not enough to get fed up with info. Robb has created is just futuristic enough to be compelling and believable, but not so complex as to intimidate or turn off those amongst us who are not fans of SciFi.

In 2058, Eve Dallas, Lieutenant in the NYPSD (New York Police and Security Department) Homicide division, is tasked with finding the culprit who killed Sharon DeBlass, a licensed companion (that is, a legal prostitute) and granddaughter to Senator DeBlass of the Conservative Party.Although on paper they should never have gelled, there’s a chemistry between them as well as common ground due to their emotionally scarred younger selves, plus the fact they are survivors. Apart, they are forces to be reckoned with; together, they generate enough blistering heat to melt my glasses right to my nose. I've known about this series for quite a while, and I'm a big Nora Roberts fan, but I hadn't really wanted to pick this series up. Irish people are not like Darby O'Gill and the Little People or like Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman in Far and Away or whatever it was . The high-profile case takes Lieutenant Eve Dallas into the rarefied circles of Washington politics and society.
