So it's howtobasic but with an awkward voiceover? There's probably a less crowded niche than "doing things, but badly"

Around 50 books all with the same gimmick. Also the strong, stubborn female lead is sooo not a girly girl but she falls in lurve with an amazingly handsome billionaire and marries him and lives happily ever after? I stopped reading at like, 7 books.

quote:

Roarke is in his mid-thirties; he is an immigrant from Dublin, Ireland (HAWT ACCENT); in NYC, he is the CEO of Roarke Industries, and one of the richest men in the world, possibly the richest (OWNS ALL THE THINGS). He owns an old mansion off Central Park he remodeled to his specifications with very high tech security (PARANOID AND HIGH TECH). Also in the home is his own personal collection of firearms, which are illegal in 2058 unless one possesses a collector's license (REBELLIOUS). Roarke also owns maces, swords, daggers, medieval armor, and other assorted weapons (STRONG BUT SEXY NEEEEERRRRD). He is quite skilled in electronics and can dismantle any type of security, lock, or coding, as well as hacking into any electronic database—including but not limited to the FBI, Interpol, and Homeland Security (ELITE HACKER AND LOCKPICK).

He convinces Eve to move in with him in Glory in Death and then proposes at the end of the book. Roarke's house officially becomes a home once Eve moves in, and after this, Roarke is happiest at home rather than traveling. He also enjoys helping Eve with her cases, finding the role reversal quite entertaining.

Height: 6 feet, 2 inches
Age: approximately 34 years old
Weight: 173 pounds
Eye color: blue
Hair color: black
His black hair is long enough that he can and has tied it back.

Perfect in every way. I hate this series.

I think they were just proving that he was, in fact, the superior novelist and not only produces longer titles but also has a longer running theme throughout his substantial bibliography. Also at least one book about Frankenstein. I don't see those other chumps writing about frankensteins.
