Love of In Death series by J.D. Robb

I really enjoy this series.  I started the series in 2008, and have read all the books, including novellas found in various anthologies.  

The series takes place in the future, 2059 and everything is high tech.  The main character is Eve Dallas, a lieutenant for the NYPD Homicide division, who eventually falls in love and marries Roarke, an extremely wealthy businessman.  Each book (all 38 books) has its own mystery, but for a good half of the series there was an overall plot of figuring out who exactly is Eve Dallas.  Now the series has been focusing more on Roarke's background and his family connections.  I cannot sit down and tell you what happened in each book but I can tell you all about the overall plot.

I love the series for the characters, and not just Eve and Roarke (I would love to find a man like Roarke).  But mainly the development of the secondary characters that tend to pop up now and then during a book.  Sometimes a book will have a case that focuses on a secondary character.  I also like to see how Eve interacts with characters, because before she meet Roarke, she was extremely anti-social, really had no friends and lived and breathed her job.

I know this series will eventually end, at least featuring Eve and Roarke.  It'll be sad when it happens but until then I will be one of the first people requesting it from the library or waiting patiently for the newest book to come out in paperback.
