It the in death series is amazing im more a fan of the type of romance she wrote in those then am in in the romance she writes under her own name. Romance novels can all tend to become the same thing over and over just written slightly different in my opinion. That is what keeps me from reading them.

I will say though of all the romance novels there are to choose from i would read Nora Roberts any day over any other. She truly is a skilled writer to say the least.

Hands down her "In Death" series is my all time favorite! Her husband is amazing and if this was my future I'd be game! She gives a good spin on honest hard working cops and the crap they put up with but also gives you that mind set of our possible advancements in the future, which I'm looking forward to being able to vacation off world lol!!

I have yet to read J.D. Robb, it's been on my to-do! Still looking forward to it, though. I will get there.

I read about 7 of the J.D. Robb and got burnt out. They all started to run together. Been Reading NR since I was like 12. I love her romance that involves paranormal elements. The Key trilogy is my absolute favorite!!! I read every Nora book that comes out.

Robb I love that the characters build throughout the series and that you see even the "peripheral" characters grow and develop. I also enjoy the base relationship between Eve and Rourke and the fact that it's not just the one off "happily ever after" but that they experience real relationship struggles and differing view points. These one are a must buy and read immediately

I came here to say this about the characters in the In Death series. My step daughters often laugh because when they see me with a book it is often an 'In Death' one and they always say 'how cheerful!'. I do enjoy them but feel the last couple have been less good. I'm waiting to see if Eve and Roarke have children!

Its quite strange to me how I devour J.D Robb books but I can never finish Nora Roberts ones. I have seriously contemplated in the past whether the author is one person.

I love reading her books under both names but I don't read the romance books .

I'm yet to read her J. D Robb books but I've read several Nora Roberts and I love them.

Good question. I ironically find I absolutely love the R.D Robb novels, in spite of Eve's prickly abrasive nature. I do not enjoy Nora Roberts' books, even though the language is not rough. Maybe its because I enjoy solving crimes? But, Nora Roberts' plots also have mysteries, and I sometimes enjoy reading romance books by other authors, never Nora Roberts. Quite a mystery!

I really enjoy Nora Roberts romance novels, especially for the plot and character development. Each seemingly plain character turns out to be an amazing bouquet of emotions, struggles, challenges, strengths and weaknesses. I love mystery and magic plots as well. Romance is just a parallel story line to me. But I can’t read JD Robb series. I’ve read 2, just made myself, to give them a chance, but found them boring, predictable and unoriginal. How can that be? I think there are other authors who can tell a much more sophisticated and thrilling mystery, but no other who can psychological romance.

I adore Nora Roberts. J.D. Robb Dallas series. I have read every single one several times and am looking forward to reading Golden in Death tomorrow, which is the day it comes out. I really love the characters of Dallas and Peabody, not to mention Roarke, Feeney and even Trina. Trina simply makes me laugh at the way she keeps insisting that Dallas needs a beauty treatment. Mavis, of course, doesn't help the situation. I love the characters in this series and always look forward to when they introduce new ones. I doubt very much that will ever change, as I was introduced to this series when I was a teenager. I am having a serious love affair with the characters and the plot lines and while I can't claim I love every single book I do like most of them. Ask for Nora Roberts I simply don't have time to lead anymore full books, even if I would like to. Maybe someday.

I am a J.D. Robb fan. Totally in love with all characters. Nora Roberts is good, but i think J.D. Robb is much better. She is an amazing storyteller.
