Similar Authors From NoveList
NoveList provides detailed suggestions for other authors you might want to read if you enjoyed this book. Suggestions are based on recommendations from librarians and other contributors.
Suzanne Brockmann's military romances make a good suggestion for fans of J. D. Robb, who will appreciate Brockmann's bad boy heroes, insider military details, richly developed romance, and fast-paced action-filled stories driven by events other than falling in love. -- Katherine Johnson
J.D. Robb and Julie Garwood share the ability to write well-plotted stories with lots of witty dialogue and deeply felt romantic attachments. Each author also crafts strong secondary and repeating characters that readers love to follow. -- Krista Biggs
Linda Howard might appeal to J. D. Robb readers for her solid mystery and gritty settings along with their spicy romance. Relationships (romantic, business, and family) among a group of people are meaningful, along with the essential element of suspense and the military or police-centered cast of characters. -- Katherine Johnson
Lisa Gardner and J. D. Robb write romantic suspense featuring fast-paced investigations that pit investigators against a range of deadly criminals. Both offer the satisfaction of ongoing series characters, detailed settings, fascinating investigations, and romantic interests. -- Krista Biggs
Particularly in Laurell K. Hamilton's Vampire Hunter stories and J. D. Robb's Eve Dallas series, readers will enjoy Anita's (Vampire) and Eve's (Dallas) tough, resourceful, and strong personalities paired with their tortured and vulnerable states. While Hamilton writes more in urban fantasy, Robb features a futuristic element in Eve's detective narratives. -- Krista Biggs

Booklist Review
Personal trainer Trey Ziegler had one of the best bodies in the business until someone bashed his head in with one of Trey's trophies. Now Lieutenant Eve Dallas has to figure out who wanted Ziegler out of the picture while at the same time finding Christmas gifts for her friends and helping plan her billionaire husband Roarke's holiday soiree. As Dallas and her partner, Peabody, dig deeper into Trey's life, they discover that not only was the personal trainer offering extra services to female clients, but the sleazy scumbag was also doping some of the women in order to take advantage of them. In between trying to find a murderer with whom she is beginning to empathize and dealing with the millions of details involved in hosting a Christmas party on the scale of a presidential inauguration, Eve is starting to feel less like NYPSD's toughest cop and more like Scrooge. Robb (Concealed in Death, 2014) keeps her nearly decade-long In Death series fresh and entertaining.--Charles, John Copyright 2014 Booklist
