Yes, if the reader isn't hooked on Eve. I've been reading the series since book 2 came out. I know a lot of people I loaned the books to back in the days before digital books, especially non-romance readers, maybe weren't hooked after Naked in Death but if they kept going with Glory and Immortal then most of them continued with the series. I don't think you can necessarily say if you will enjoy the series if you only read book one.

I have one friend who read through about book fifteen or so and then she told me she just didn't like Eve. I can't imagine continuing reading the books where you don't like THE main character. This series is very much about Eve. Yes, her romance and marriage to Roarke plays an integral part, but it's ultimately HER story.

The vampire novella is a good example of Nora writing to the paranormal theme but sticking to her rules
Spoiler:
since the vampire wasn't real. There is one novella where she goes full paranormal with the plot and it is not a good fit with the police procedural aspects of the series. And another where it's borderline full paranormal.
