I am a fan of J.D. Robb and I am loyal

Every time I put down a book from the In Death series by J.D. Robb I smile and then sigh, whispering the repetitive words – I always blog about, “This is my favorite thus far…” Just like how I felt after finishing the Conspiracy in Death. I sound like a broken record now, do I?


However, after reading the Loyalty in Death I was speechless and did not waste time – I reread the entire novel once again. Crazy indeed but I tell you my friends it was worth it – every time I absorb the words, chapters by chapters, the more I get to know the characters of the story and the more I fell in love with their lives and their struggles to find justice as well as to find the love for each other.

I started laughing about the intense sparks between McNabb and Peabody getting intimate at the elevator but couldn't get enough with each other. The brushing of their shoulders, the getting lost from reality after a passionate kiss – oh how much I enjoyed every minute of it reading about this couple. It was refreshing for once to see them express each other’s “heat of the moment” kind of feeling.

Then my heart leapt for joy the moment Eve handed the flowers to Roarke (sort of trying to make up for a previous fight she’d started). This part the author have shown how Eve learned so much from marrying Roarke, she’d finally learned to show her emotions by expressing herself with such small but surprising gestures.

Then I cried.

How can you not cry knowing Eve from the beginning as a stubborn and cold blooded person because of her past, suddenly was transformed into a person with words that could sweep your feet away? When Eve told Roarke how much he meant to her I was moved, not just by her words, but also because of the honesty of the author poured into this writing.

“…You're the best thing that ever happens to me. In my life you're what matters most. I love you so much it scares me. And I guess if I had a choice about it I wouldn't change it...”

And then to wrap it up, J.D. Robb delivers the best ending I could ever have from this series with Roarke and Eve fighting against time while loving each other to their last breath. During the count down...when Eve said the magic words "I love you Roarke" my heart melted and I pictured them together facing death, Eve in Roarke's blood, full of love and passion. And if I may add, the golden words of the sacrament of marriage echo into my ears -- "'till death do us part".

I love every minute I spent with this series. Thank God for such brilliant mind of J.D. Robb. Thank God for having the heart to feel the love over and over and over again.

And hey…it was a happy ending, okay.

Now I rest…
