Finally, my reviews of the In Death series by JD Robb starts. Naked in Death is the first book in the series. It is a fictional police drama set in the future. It centres around Lt Eve Dallas, who is a strong, independent woman who lives for her career.
There is plenty of action, mystery, and more than a few steamy scenes. This book really introduces most of the main people who appear throughout the series.
I don't think I've read this one before, so it was great to get the original introduction to everyone that I remembered from reading other books in the series. And I had forgotten how steamy some of the scenes are. Wow!
While it is not realistic (how many ultra rich, amazingly handsome and genuinely nice guys are out there?), it makes for relaxing and entertaining reading.
Definitely a great book, and a quick read at that. Perfect for when you need a break.
I find Roarke's character to be a bit overboard in a fantastical way, too. I often wish he'd be toned down a bit and made a bit more realistic.
ReplyDeleteI agree that these books are perfect from when you need a break in your reading pattern. They're great because you can pick up the next one anytime and never feel like you have to "catch up" because it's like meeting with an old friend.
