Book Reviews of Loyalty in Death
Book Review: An exquisite love story and a cracking good mystery.
Summary: 5 Stars
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.Book Review: A nip of disappointment in a great story
Summary: 4 Stars
These books were recommended to me by a writing tutor and they are an excellent example of futuristic crime and romance. So far, I have enjoyed every one of them. I did feel, however, that Loyalty wasn't as good as the others. Roarke, for once, annoyed me with his constant interference in the investigation and Eve gave in to his arrogance time and time again. He should have respected her wishes in some aspects. As usual, the perpertrator was well-hidden and the addition of a wild and loose Peabody was great! 'bout time, too! I enjoyed the humour in it too, but I was less than satisfied with the sudden ending. I would have like to have seen the tension build with a bit about the other sites being checked rather than the sudden rush to the actual place of confrontation. I can't see how J.D. Robb can stop writing after the little tid-bit about Eve's parents - that this is the last book would be cruel and unusual punishment! So, I look forward to more, but like everybody else, I have to wait patiently, *sigh*.Book Review: Awesome!
Summary: 5 Stars
This was the best "In Death" book so far! My friend got me to read 'Naked in Death' a few months ago and I have been a huge fan since. I'm only sad that there are only 5 left and I'll have to wait eagerly for the rest soon! Reading this now is a little bit sad, because even though it was written years ago, the plot about a terrorist organization bombing New York and DC landmarks really hits home. On the flipside though, it's still a fantastic read. The plot is great and incorporates all of our favorite supporting characters, and introduces a few more- Peabody's brother Zeke, as week and Malloy, a fellow female cop who Eve admires and befriends. The passion and love between Eve and Roarke is as wonderful as ever, and Nora proves that she is the master of writing tasteful yet steamy sex scenes. My favorite subplot is the sexual tension of Peabody and McNabb finally coming to a serious head- can't wait for them to fall for each other hard in later books. Read this, you'll love it!
Book Review: The Eve Dallas series just keeps getting better.
Summary: 5 Stars
Loyalty In Death brings us back again to the world of Eve Dallas, and as always J. D. Robb/Nora Roberts gives a satisfying read. But more than that, Loyalty continues the upwards climb that was started in the last book, Conspiracy. In Loyalty, and again in Witness In Death, Robb gives the characters we know and love new depth, making us, if at all possible, love them more. In addition, Robb continues to break away from what was threatening to become a formulaic plot, that of a mentally disturbed person who kills because he or she enjoys killing. She's giving her villains motives other than insanity, and keeping the series from becoming an endless repeat of the same plot, predictable and stale. Conspiracy, Loyalty, and Witness are new ground, and I hope the trend continues with Judgement and the next books.(Fans, never fear, Loyalty renews the tradition of including the first chapter of the next book, as does Witness.)
Book Review: Definitely worth the wait
Summary: 5 Stars
This book was really excellent, the only problem was that there wasn't enough of Eve and Rourke. I love to read about them as a couple, as much as I love reading all the police procedure parts etc. The secondary characters are great, and I enjoyed the way McNabb put a stop to all of Peabody's griping at last. The way JD Robb described the bombings and aftermath was really realistic. I love this series, but it's a real bummer that we now have to wait again. I feel like going into mourning. Can't get enough of Eve and Rourke,looking forward to Rourke finally getting a taste of his own medicine when he laughs at Eve getting jealous about his ex lovers, be worth a price of a ticket when he meets one of hers, didn't really cover that in 'Conspiracy' keep up the good work Nora. Maybe you can think about bringing these out every three months.
