In honor of St. Patrick’s Day and being Irish myself, I just have to mention my crazy girl crush on the one hero that is a true gorgeous Irish man and a series that showcases him in all his glory.
His name is Roarke and he is in the thirteen year old In Death series by JD Robb. There are almost 30 books in total that I have honestly re-read more times than I can count. JD Robb a.k.a. Nora Roberts has written a truly incredible futuristic/police/mystery/romance procedural that shows the future in a very real light along with a romance and love that does not die after two people get married. In all the romances I have read, it is usually about the courtship up to marriage vows and then fade to black. With the In Death series, Roarke’s courtship continues during his marriage to his one true love, his wife, Eve Dallas.
What is it about the magnetic Roarke that makes me all tingly inside? I could say it is because he is a mega gazillioner or perhaps it his to die for sexy Irish accent. Or the way he can wear a suit oh so nicely? Nope, those things are just a minuscule reason why I consider him to be my favorite hero of all time. It all has to do for his love for the one woman where she can literally bring him to his knees because his love for her is so great. This man would go to hell and back for his wife and screw the consequences. He would lie, cheat and kill if anyone harmed her. He shows her that she is worthy of his love and does his best to make her feel that she is the most beautiful thing on the planet. He feeds her, makes her get rest and showers her with so much TLC, that she drowns in it.
Of course the sex is still so very hot and passionate. “GO OVER”, that line is used more than any line I can think of! But again it is not about the sex. It is the closeness and the oneness that makes things so special between these two.
I knew the exact moment when Roarke and this soon to be series would be so beloved by myself. It was in the first book- Naked in Death when Roarke’s future wife, Eve loses a button on the ugly suit she wore when he first met her, and his heart stopped. He keeps that same button in his pocket as a daily reminder of what he found and how lucky he is. Roarke may have all the money and materialistic things in the world, but they can not compete with the love he has for his woman.
Some say Roarke has become a but dull or perhaps too good to be true. He seems to always be underfoot whenever his cop wife is solving a case. He becomes her knight in shining armor way too often. But a marriage is all about support, and he gives it to his wife in more doses than any other male character I have ever read.
Roarke = major le sighs. “A ghra. A chisel mo chroi!”
“ MAY YOUR BLESSINGS OUTNUMBER
THE SHAMROCKS THAT GROW,
AND MAY TROUBLE AVOID YOU
WHEREVER YOU GO.”
