Flip flops and slippers. Lol. That's what I live in.

Sandals all the way

Eve always takes it down to the common denominator lol

I’m with you Laura. My HOKA runners are the only shoes my knee likes.

Flip flops every time.

Eve just doesn’t understand good shoes are heaven for your feet

Rykas here!

Slippers or trainers are really the only footwear my feet like lol

I love my Skechers. And my Copperfit arch supports in my barn boots

Barefoot as much as possible. 😁👍 Heh. Laura, I'm hoping it's okay to ask this question since it's off topic, but can you direct me to a paragraph that gives Charles description? I'm rereading, again. Hehe. I'm up to Seduction and I've been very mindful this time through to watch for this. I feel everything I've read was general description. I cant seem to get a good picture in my head. What am I missing? 🤣 Thanks!

Once weather warms up it’s flip flops 🩴 for me but then I’m retired so don’t have to dress for work anymore 😊

I gotta’ tell you I’m pretty partial to my Birks and Sketchers!

I'm with Eve😁

I can just see the dumbfounded look on Eve’s face. 🤣

I’m with Eve I can’t stand heights 🙂

Eve's expression would be priceless 😱 Horrified

Nope! No heights. You know Roarke did when he used to break into buildings.

I'm not a fan of heights or elevators

Petrified of heights. Can't even walk across a bridge. Get dizzy when I see high stuff on TV...not sure why

I don't want to be anywhere I can manage to fall from. It's not the heights I fear. It's my extreme clumsiness. I loved riding in a helicopter. I enjoy the view from up high. Just don't want to fall.

I HATE heights.

No heights for me, I am with Eve definitely x

No, no heights. UGH!!!

I couldn't do it either, like Eve

Put it this way...I figure there's a reason nature made me 4'8"...It isn't heights I fear, it's the idea of falling from them!

I can sit on a high balcony with no problem but climbing up a wall would be a different story.

My husband loves heights (flew in open doored helicopters with his legs hanging out), and I am terrified of heights. Can't even climb a ladder thats above my head... Opposites do attract.

I have a fear of falling

Heights make me nauseous. Seriously so.🤢

Scared of heights. I hate tall buildings. We are planning a trip to NYC some day. You will NOT see me on top of the Empire State Building. I will admire it from the ground (lol)!

No heights for me! Scuba diving and looking down is fine, not so much climbing! I love the view, I really hate climbing up or down!

I'm with Eve on this.

Roarke continually surprises Eve

Booga booga! I have to close my eyes when even a movie shows heights!

Always loved a Columbo quote, talking to a pilot: "I hate heights. As a matter of fact, I don't even like being this tall."

I am with totally with Eve 🫣

Not for me! 🤢

An important book in the series.

The best feels at this point!!!!!

When she learned the love Summerset has for Roarke

Patrick Roarke was a despicable person, Summerset did the right thing.

Shows true character of those 2 people

That SAYS it all Eve's reasoning is implacable

JD Robb is such an excellent writer. Every book stirs my emotions.

I loved this! Gave me better understanding to somerset and roarke's relationship

So Larina isn't the only one with secrets. Interesting.

She may not like Sommerset, but they both love Roarke, and that's enough.

I love there banter but really like the serious moments as well

I love the ever-evolving growth of these characters, and their relationships. Beautifully done -- and such a rare thing, in ANY series.

Just hits in all the feels!!❤️🥲🤗😭

Love these books

She really does like summerset!

Eve point is great, Summerset did what needed to be done.

It’s so interesting to me the blinders Roark had on as it relates to this. He is brilliant and somehow never even considered his father figure was the one who took care of that evil bastard. Maybe it had to do with his anger for not being the one to do it himself?! I love the relationship between Roark and Summerset and the evolving grudging respect that’s bloomed between Summerset and Eve.

I love the connection and understanding that's formed between them over the years. I think they are my example of true family...they both love the same people and respect each other. At this point in time the snipes they take at each other are more in the nature of familial swipes, not mean spirited.

Love Summerset

I think Summerset and Eve like each other far more than they admit to each other, and I also believe they Respect each for the love they have for Roarke

I’m reading this book right now 💕📚💕📚💕📚💕

I have to admit I have a deep addiction to this series! Read them over and over!

Reading that book right now.

Love this moment

This is probably the biggest turning point for Eve in this series. This is the point where Eve gains and gives the most respect for and to Summerset.

I think this is where Summerset actually begins to ease his distance from Eve... he's been gradually heading in that direction but it kind of solidified here.

The exact moment Summerset *knows* Eve will choose Roarke above all else.

Love the interaction

Love these books

REally interesting relationship there!

Loved that interaction between them

I love how their relationship has grown especially due to the love they share for Roarke.

♥️

I love their relationship

The first time Summerset really sees Eve and begins to get how much she loves Roarke

I disagree that this is "the moment" that Summerset comes to this realization you all are describing about Eve. As early as Innocent in Death there is this: "He [Summerset] finished the whiskey. 'You, Lieutenant, are often crude, you are certainly rude, and have very little sense of how to be the wife--in public--of a man in Roarke's position. And you would do anything, no matter what the personal risk, to keep him from harm. She will never love him. You will never do anything but.'” Innocent in Death in book 24. Leverage in Death is book 47.

It was good to seem them in concert on One thing

I find their relationship fascinating. I've read the books so many times I almost have them memorized.

I guess thats a little sad but it's hard to let go!

This is when I think Summerset started to understand Eve, not that he would tell her lol

The interaction between Eve and Summerset comprise some of the most interesting parts that make this such an intriguing whole.

I always liked that Eve kept this to herself...and allowed Summerset and Roarke to work it out themselves..

I love how their relationship has evolved and continues to evolve. Even if they have to keep up the pretence of antipathy.

I own and have read every book in this series and that relationship is the only one I don't like at all. The rudeness and disrespect on both their parts is contrary to the rest of the content of the books where these two are concerned...it doesn't fit.

When Eve has her nightmare while Roarke is gone and Sommerset realizes what happened to Eve as a Child I think was major turning point

Love the bantering between Summerset & Eve , underneath it all , they both have respect for each other.

I couldn't believe she held the secret so long. Given how she and Summerset feel about each other

I love this scene. It defines their relationships perfectly

The relationship between Eve and Somerset (or as Bella calls him Someshit ... love it 😆😆😆) changes incrementally over a number of events, and from one of the earliest books. When he realises what happened to her as a child, when she works so hard she makes herself sick, when she takes the stunner meant for him, when he constantly sees how she puts Roarke above everything. This is just another of those moments

That's what I thought were her reasons.
