Immortal In Death is the third book in the In Death series and I am slowly but surely working my way through the series but BOY do I have a long way to go. I am definitely starting to see why so many romance readers are such a fan of this series because even though the romance takes a back seat at times to the primary plot line, the depths of emotion that is evoked between Roarke and Eve is splendid and captivating in every way and I am loving the journey that they are on. Immortal is quite an interesting one and I will be honest I was NOT expecting the tear jerking emotions that this book evoked in me. It actually quite shocked me the intimate revelations that we see unveil in this book. 



Immortal In Death starts out with a illegal spy of sorts, that works both sides is murdered and was a confidant of Eve. And she is determined to be the head honcho of the case but then something else turns up and will really push her in ways she doesn't quite expect. One of her closest friends and her boyfriend are the prime suspects of another murder, a famous model who got into the dangerous business of lethal addictive drugs. And now Eve will be forced to put her best friend through a murder investigation and have to appear neutral even though she is far from it. But through this investigation, she is faced with her past and a painful memory that will haunt her and only with Roarke at her side, will she reconcile and work her way through it. 



Immortal In Death is a story that kept me up reading and I had such a blast delving into this one. It is continually to shock me how much these books are working for me. But most especially these special moments that we see build between Roarke and Eve. No more two opposites could be in love. Eve is reconciling with the fact that she will be married within the month, nothing she imagined would happen to her or the love that she would find with Roarke. And Eve will go through a really rough time as she faces up to a painful part of her past her sub-concious part of her brain hid from her because of the trauma of it but now that memory will resurface and will have to face up to it and deal with the emotions that will overload her. But Roarke...*sigh* he is so sturdy and reliable. I love how fiercely protective he is of her especially on a emotional and mental level. The depths of the romance is satisfying and packed with deep levels of intimacy I couldn't seem to get enough. 



Overall I found Immortal in Death to be a fantastic addition to the series, a build up of intimacy, compounding mysteries and writing to compel you to pick up the next one up.....

'She'd come to New York to be a cop, because she believed in order. Needed it to survive. She had taken control, had made herself into the person some anonymous social worker had named Eve Dallas' But in a few weeks she won't just be Eve Dallas, lieutenant, homicide. She'll be Roarke's wife. But Eve's wedding plans may have to be put on hold as her private and professional lives collide... The victim in her latest murder investigation is 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 Eve's chief suspect is the other woman in this fatal love triangle - her best friend Mavis. Putting her job on the line to head the investigation, Eve discovers that the world of high fashion thrives on an all-consuming passion for youth and fame. One that leads from the runway to the dark underworld of New York City where drugs can fulfil any desire - for a price . . .

I'm so glad I finally decided to give this series a try. It improves with every book! I love Eve and Roarke, they are just such opposites and yet work so perfectly together, it makes their relationship so entertaining. I enjoyed the fashion theme of this one and liked reading about the prep for the wedding amongst all the crime solving. Looking forward to the next one!

Eve and Rourke are getting mawwwwied, and of course prickly Eve is nervous and hesitant about the whole endeavor. It doesn't help that her best friend Mavis and Mavis's new boyfriend and Eve's wedding dress designer are suspects in the murder of a famous model. 

Plus Eve's repressed past is violently surfacing as she grows closer and more comfortable with Rourke.

I've been enjoying this series for quick reads that have just enough depth to keep me interested but don't require a ton of brain power.

Yet again I found myself really liking this series , it doesn't have your typical flow in a murder mystery instead your lead on a chase as you read and try and see who really done it. I enjoyed how Eve was off kilter in trying to learn and move past how her past and emotions can be useful and that she didn't need to hold it all in.
