J.D. Robb discussion

What's not to like about Charles? A professional LC, calls Eve LT. Sugar, and has a great fight with McNab. He's cool and sophisticated without being stuffy.

He makes his first appearance in Naked in Death when Eve interviews him.

I'm a big Charles Monroe fan. Don't you just love it that he calls Eve Lt. Sugar? As soon as I figured he was going to be a recurring character, I saw Eddie Cibrian in this role.

I actually didn't like him at first. I was like ewe this guy again? And so much drama with Peabody!! But he grew in me and now I love him

He was a little oily in the beginning.

haha just a tad

I love Charles because he has a genuine affection for Eve and also the fact that I think him calling Eve Lt. Sugar is so endearing.

Funny how she let's him get away with that. She has always seemed to have a soft spot for him.

I remember when Roarke said something to Eve about the comment in his masculine jealous way. Before the dinner party with Roarke, Eve, Peabody and McNab, they must have run into each other. Can anyone remember when?

Didn't they ride up in the elevator together?

I agree

Lt. Sugar made me LOL...I like him!

I love it when Charles calls Eve LT. SUGAR in front Roarke.

Yeah, you can just feel Roarke bristle:)

LOL..you really can feel the irritation just roll off of Roarke when Charles calls Eve Lt. Sugar! It quickly brings out the Alpha Male side of Roarke and you just feel that he wants to yell MINE! Love it.

Eve even bristles at LT. SUGAR when Charles calls her that.

Yeah, she does! Funny...and it doesn't stop him.

I think he likes to fluster her with LT. SUGAR!

Oh...definitely! And it does fluster her...so cute.

what book did Charles call Eve Lt Sugar for the first time in front of Roarke? Can't remember.

The first time Charles Monroe called Eve LT. SUGAR was in NAKED IN DEATH when she consulted him about licensed companions.

I fell in love with his character that very minute! lol Priceless!

And he's still calling her that:)

I believe Roarke first heard Charlrs call Eve Lt. Sugar was in NAKED IN DEATH when Roarke and Eve were in his limo and they being driven to his jet to fly back to NYC after the funeral of the Senator's granddaughter. Forgot the names of those characters. Eve got a call from Charles about safety deposit boxes and when he signed off he called her LT. SUGAR and Roarke heard him and bristled.

I remember that!! Charles deserved having a relationship. I remember he was attracted to Eve but as Mira said Eve has a shady of prude. She couldn't see how it could work but he really wanted to love and be loved without limitations. I loved that he found that.
