This finished this one—-my favorite Detective the bad ass woman who solves the most twisted crimes with the help of Peabody her partner—but before you think this is your normal crime who done it—the crimes are bad and the criminals way past evil….oh did I mention they’re set in about 30 or 40 years in the future—oh and I saved the best to last, she’s married to a hot, rich and seriously sexy—Did I mention he’s like super rich—-and handsome beyond belief, is a computer wizard AND has a past that Eve is glad he was never arrested for. Oh and his name is Rourke (and like Sting–no last name) and of course Irish and has a face and body that would make the inhabitants of Olympus jealous. Oh and if that isn’t crazy enough its written under a pseudo-name by a romance writer–Nora Roberts–WOW—-start from the beginning it’s better that way:

Once the site of a former royal Palace—the current building was built in 1840 to replace an earlier palace destroyed in 1834 by fire. It was designed by Charles Barry in a Gothic, basically a Perpendicular style. Augustus Welby Pugin designed the paneled ceilings, tiled floors, stain glass, clocks, fireplaces, umbrella stands and even the inkwells.
The previous palace here was the King’s residence since Edward the Confessor, Edward built a palace here with a huge abbey close by something that seems quite appropriate for a man that was later made a saint by the Catholic church. Interestingly enough, at the time of this original building the land that the two building currently set on was an island.
It continued to be so, until Henry VIII. now this wasn’t just another of Henry’s must have episodes—though that may have played a part—but part of the Palace at Westminster (the residential part) had burnt down (something this palace seemed prone to) leaving Henry without a residence in the country’s capital. But then things went wrong, as usual to Henry’s advantage—his involvement with Anne Boleyn had started in 1526 and by 1527 he was pushing for a divorce since Anne insisted on marriage prior to giving up her assets—-short story Cardinal Wolsey who owned a lovely house in London failed to get a divorce for the king and he was stripped of all his assets which included the house just a short way down the river from the former Royal Palace–Henry had it enlarged and the king’s residence was moved to Whitehall. Whitehall was later destroyed by fire.
Oh and by the way Hampton Court was also once Wolsey’s property as well.
