I honestly don't know how she can keep spinning out these tales, year after year and that folks don't get bored. I really liked this one. Was going to skip it as it is a novella … thing is, it didn't read like a novella. It was a long book. Follows on directly from the previous book. All the usual characters were there. Love them.
ROARKE - don't think I will ever tire of him
Someone is looking for diamonds which have been missing for over 50 years. They are willing to kill for them.
LOL. I love the interactions between Dallas and Peabody.
I might skip the next "novella" - these books ain't cheap, even said novellas.
ROARKE - don't think I will ever tire of him
For all that he'd wanted the whole of his life, he'd never wanted anything as he did her. The more he had of her, the more he craved in an endless cycle of love and lust and longing. He could live with whatever had come before, whatever would come after, as long as there was Eve.

"I gotta ask … when you see his face come on screen, all sexy and gorgeous with that, you know, mouth, do you ever just want to pant like a dog?"
"Jesus, Peabody!"
LOL. I love the interactions between Dallas and Peabody.
"Do you remember the first time we made love?"
He touched his lips to her as he said it.
"I have a vague recollection."
"We rode up in the elevator like this and couldn't keep our hands off each other, couldn't get to each other quick enough. I was mad for you. I wanted you more than I wanted to keep breathing. I still do. It's never going to change."
I might skip the next "novella" - these books ain't cheap, even said novellas.

I very rarely read novellas even in my favourite series so when I saw this book was #17.5 I passed it by. I only just found out recently that it is a full size book. What a treat - a whole new J.D. Robb that I had not read. Of course it was as good as all the rest of her books. Peabody and Eve had a whole lot of banter going on, Roarke and Eve had a whole lot of other things going on and everyone worked together to get the bad guy. This is the first In Death book I have listened to on audio and it was as good as everyone told me it would be. The narrator does an excellent job of all the different voices both men and women. I was sad when it finished!!! 309 pages and still not long enough:)
Reread one year later and it was still every bit as good. First read was audio so this time I read the paper book. Eve and Peabody are the best! When Peabody turns up at work in smart shoes the conversation goes like this
"And what the hell are those? " She (Eve) jabbed a finger at the shoes.
"Aren't they great?" She turned her ankle to show them off. "Surprisingly comfortable too."
"Those are girl shoes."
"Dallas, I don't know how to tell you this, but I am a girl."
I gave this book five stars the first time I read it and see no reason to change that:)

There are few things more satisfying in the book world than watching Lieutenant Eve Dallas take down an arrogant murderer who thinks he's smarter than she is. Well, except for maybe Eve and Roarke together! 😍 *swoon* I'll never get tired of Eve and Roarke and it's a complete toss up who I have the bigger crush on. 🥰
Loved the investigation, with all my favorite cops *DETECTIVE PEABODY!!! ❤️* pulled in to work on it. The only thing missing was Summerset and all his snooty, stiff disapproval. Eve missed him too. 😂 Looking forward to more of this world soon!

Even the .5's are fabulous. Really enjoyed this one. It was great albeit a little weird to go backwards after finishing book #45. This one was at a time where Peabody had just made Detective. My gal has come a long way! ❤
Loved Eve and Roarke of course. ❤ ❤

Big Jack
4 Stars
Eve Dallas and her team investigate two homicides with an apparent connection to a diamond heist from 5 decades ago. It would seem that someone is searching for the missing gems and is willing to kill anyone who gets in the way.
Note: This book is the sequel to Hot Rocks, which should be read first as it provides the background necessary for truly appreciating the story.
Big Jack wraps up the loose ends from the first book satisfactorily although the villain's identity is obvious from the start.
The lack of romance for Samantha Gannon is also disappointing. Yes, this is an Eve and Roarke book, but Sam is a very likable character and it would have been great for her to get her own HEA and thereby provide continuity to Laine and Max's story.
Finally, the publisher may have done readers a disservice by separating the combined edition of Remember When into its component parts. Those unfamiliar with the In Death series may find themselves at sea with the futuristic setting and ongoing character development. Similarly, fans of the series who missed out on Hot Rocks may feel lost without the detail provided in that installment.

Suspense 4.5 stars / Romance 4.5 stars
It was a 'short' novella, only 298 pages *lol*
So, I keep my review short too.
Suspense and murder because of the diamonds, but the only true diamond in this book = this series was/is/will be Eve!

Hmm, I've been told this isn't a favourite of very many. I like the story line here - murder and diamonds, seem to go together quite frequently and quite nicely. There's some funny scenes - Eve and Feeney - after Eve and Roarke had taken "a break".
Eve and Roarke "breaking the curse of the stairs" - as if!
What I don't like about the book is Peabody trying to find "her look" - seriously? Girl, you know what Eve is like and how much walking/running around you have to look forward to almost on a daily basis - no you don't have to wear your blues, but you do have to wear sensible clothes and footwear!
I really like the minor characters in this book - the bad guy is the type of bad guy that you love to hate. A spoiled, self privileged scum bag for the main bad guy and his friend wasn't much better actually.
So 5 stars and 2 thumbs up.

Loved this ending to the mystery left in Hot Rocks. What happened to the last 1/4th of the stolen diamonds? 
In 2059 Samantha Gannon has just written a bestseller about a diamond heist that took place more than 50 years ago. The book has become an instant best seller but when Sam returns home from a successful book tour she finds her best friend and house sitter dead. Eve Dallas now has not only a murder to solve, but a decades old robbery.

This book had sooo much of Roarke and Eve and when I say so much, I really do mean a lot more than the few delicious bits we usually get on a full length IN DEATH Book.
Honestly speaking this novella didn't really come across as your usual 'novella'. One being the fact that it's actually long...Almost 200 pages so and there's the added fact that the plot is actualy as long and as elaborate as her other series books.
The plotline starts out a bit weak and gains momentum as the story moves forward before ending with a bang...and for those weak slow moments...I had to knock of A star and a 1/3.
Overall, a fun read for all the Roarke Lovers out there ;)

I love Eve and Roarke and their connection but I took the half star away because the villian in the book really annoyed me, the spoiler brat, who deserves to be put away for the way he treated his family especially his grandmother. Who does that?! What a jerk! I do love Eve and Roarke and how they're growing and their passion is still so cute and hot too. LOL Love how Roarke tells Eve how his life change when he met her and how she's all he needs. It was such an awwww moment. I love Roarke ❤❤❤❤❤

Eve can solve for the dead and kicka$$ while doing it. Love the team as well. They can come together and get their man. I have to say it was funny reading about Peabody wearing the shoes even though Eve knew it was going to be a bad idea. lol Of course the bratty son and his thinking that he deserves something he didn’t earn himself is so annoying again. Glad he gets to spend his time as his grandfather did.

Almost 60 years after the heist in Hot Rocks, the stolen diamonds that have never been recovered are back in the limelight due to a book written by Laine and Max Gannon's granddaughter, when the granddaughter comes home from her book tour she finds her friend who was housesitting dead. The killer is determined to get their hands on the famous diamonds and is willing to kill to get what they desire.
A light read, although not one I could fully sink my teeth into. I did enjoy the start and seeing Eve and Roarke again, and Peabody amused me a bit, but still something was missing for me. A small amount of skim reading in the middle did occur.
My least favourite novella in the series thus far, but an ok-ish one time read for me, due to Roarke and Eve.
Now I am stuck impatiently waiting for the next book in the series to arrive at the library.

This is the second of two interlinked stories written by Nora Roberts under both of her pen names. First you have Hot Rocks, a contemporary romance with a hint of suspense written as Nora and secondly, set 50 years into the future, you have Big Jack, a futuristic suspense written with Nora's J.D. Robb hat on. Both stories have been sold separately and they can each be read as stand alone stories (although Big Jack is part of the In Death world and will particularly appeal to Eve and Roarke fans!) but I highly recommend reading the two together as it's really fun to see how they entwine despite occurring at very different times. You can save money by buying the Remember When anthology which contains both stories.
My Review of Big Jack by J.D. Robb:
Set approximately 50 years into the future from the end of Hot Rocks, Big Jack focuses on Laine and Max's granddaughter. Sam is an author who has recently published the story of how her grandparents met, including details of the diamond heist and the fact that not all of the diamonds were recovered. She comes home from her book tour to discover her home has been trashed and her house sitter has been murdered. It looks like someone believes that Sam and her family kept the missing diamonds for themselves and now they're willing to do whatever it takes to steal the jackpot. Of course Eve Dallas has been called in to investigate the murders but she quickly realises the key to finding a murderer is to locate the missing diamonds herself.
It's no secret I love the In Death series (that's the whole reason I read these two stories in the first place!) and Big Jack is just as good as you'd expect from a book in this series. You have all the banter between Eve, Peabody and the rest of the team, the swoon worthy romance between Eve and Roarke and of course a murder to solve and diamonds to find. I will never get enough of this series and, as always, this story definitely left me wanting to dive straight into the next one.

The first time I read the In Death series, I didn’t read the novellas; in fact, I didn’t realize there were novellas for a while. So on this reread-from-the-beginning, I’m also doing the novellas.
Peabody just made detective in book 17 and is now trying to find her “work style.” The scenes with her and Dallas are also hilarious, but fashion always makes Eve’s eyes cross, so these are particularly funny. The mystery involves missing diamonds from a robbery fifty years previously; that story is told in Nora Roberts’s Hot Rocks, with her fictional alter-ego named Samantha Gannon.
Very enjoyable, as always. It never fails to amaze me how one person can spin so many stories out of her head and tell them in such a way to keep millions of readers interested for over 50 books.

I got this as an ebook library request, not knowing it was a reprint of the 2nd half of the 2 part novel "Remember When". It has been awhile since I read that book, which tells of a daring jewelry heist that happened in the year 2004 (or somewhen along those lines) and how it relates to the daughter of one of the thieves living a clean life running an antique shop, who happened to have fallen in love with the jewelry company's investigator. They retrieved 3/4ths of the diamonds, but 1/4th remained missing - mostly to keep safe the ex-wife and son of one of the more violent thieves who ended up in jail.
Big Jack takes place in the year 2059, and features LT. Eve Dallas, her millionaire (or gazillionaire) sexy husband Rourke (he's of Irish descent, still with a sexy accent), and her partner, new detective Peabody, and the supporting cast from the entire In Death series, E-detectives Feeney and McNab (Peabody's main squeeze), and profiler Dr. Mira and others. The grandaughter of the main characters from Remeber When, Samantha Gannon, has just returned home from a book tour to discover her housesitter dead in her bedroom, and her apartment trashed! After another body is found burned, being investigated by Baxter and Trueheart, Eve finds a connection between the 2 murders.
What I love about these books, is that it's like watching your favorite crime show (mine is "Castle"). you know all the characters, there's comraderie and humor mxed in (like how Peabody is loving flashing her new detective badge and trying to figure out what clothes to wear to work now that she's no longer a uniform cop), and the heart of the story is how Eve Dallas takes on the victims and stands for them and does everything in her power to find them justice. Love the relationship between her and her husband Roarke, too!

Very quick read chock full of suspense as usual. Lt. Eve Dallas is as sexy as ever....just ask her hubby Rourke.
"Laine Tavish is an ordinary woman living an ordinary life in the small town of Angel's Gap, Maryland, as the proprietor of Remember When, an antique treasures and gift shop. At least, that's what everyone in Angel's Gap thinks. They have no idea that she used to be Elaine O'Hara, daughter of the notorious con man Big Jack O'Hara. Or that she grew up moving from place to place, one step ahead of the law . . .
Laine's past has just caught up with her, though-in a very dramatic way. Her long-lost uncle suddenly turned up in her shop, leaving only a cryptic warning before dying in the street, run down by a car. Soon afterward, her home is ransacked. Now it's up to Laine, and a sexy stranger named Max Gannon, to find out who's chasing her, and why.
The answer lies in a hidden fortune-a fortune that will change not only Laine's life but also the lives of future generations. And danger and death will surround that fortune for years to come. Until New York City detective Lieutenant Eve Dallas gets on the case."

Diamonds Are Forever
This was an interesting In Death book experience as is two books in one.
First of all, Nora Roberts who alter ego is JD Robb combined her two very different brands and styles , and it worked for her.
Even though, I am/was more interested in the Eve Dallas's part of the story it was nice to read the über sweet first story.

A book has just been released with new information about a famous diamond heist in 2003. Everyone in New York has a theory.
But someone is willing to kill to find those missing diamonds.
Eve will show them that nothing sparkles like handcuffs.

"Hot Rocks," by her alter ego Nora Roberts, is the prequel or backstory to " Big Jack." It made a much more enjoyable read to learn about what went on years ago which directly affected this great Dallas/Roarke book. FYI.

This was introduction to Eve and her world. It sucked me in and had me reading the series from the beginning and then up to the current release at the time and every book since.

Big Jack is a continuation of Nora Robert’s Hot Rocks written in 2003. Though I read Hot Rocks, I don’t remember the storyline but was able to follow the Big Jack story.
Big Jack is a great read because I’m vested in Eve Dallas and Rourke because I like the psychology of the stories. Eva Dallas and her husband Rourke were both brutally physically and emotionally abused as children. Rourke became a criminal while Eve because a cop. They met at a funeral and fell in love.
Rourke, knowing he couldn’t have Eve living his current life, remove all the criminal elements from his life before pursuing her.
The abuse and the way they handle it is woven around the crimes and the way Eve solves them with Rourke’s help.
J.D. Robb allows Eve to evolve with each installment. As a child Eve never knew friendship, love or kindness so she’s growing into what it takes to become a healthy human being.
A grifter who treated him as a son took in Rourke, at a tender age; Rourke knew love and kindness. In loving his wife, he patiently demonstrates to Eve how she is worthy of loving and that’s it’s okay for her to love herself.
The Eva Dallas and Rourke series is realistic when it comes to the human heart and emotions.
I always look forward to the next installment.

It was so cool to have this crossover, I quite enjoyed Max and Laine’s story so having their story continue in a way in the In Death’s universe in this novella was awesome.
I especially enjoyed the second part of the final chapter, it was a very nice epilogue for this story.

Listed as 17.5 in the In Death series, I was surprised by both the name of this book and the length.
.5 books are usually Novellas but this is a full length read. Every book in this series is names ‘…’ In Death. I don’t know why this book deviated from this pattern but no matter. It was excellent! All our favorite characters are back and some of the side characters are actually more front and center in this one.
And can I just say how much I LOVE Peabody?
This is just the best female lead detective series! On to book 18!

Good book...

I had a hard time getting into this story, but once I was able to settle in, it felt close to a standard In Death novel.
Little things niggled at me - probably the fact that it was part of a larger story, a spin-off of sorts from a Nora Roberts novel.
But it was enjoyable enough nonetheless.
I give it 3.5 Stars
