Customer Reviews

You can't go wrong with the MacGregor Series!

I think I've read most of Nora Roberts books, unfortunately, I read the MacGregor series first, which makes everything else seem not quite as good. I loved every book in this series. All of them were quick reads, with a cute sense of humor and a warm hearted feeling throughout, and without being CHEEZY. I used to only read historic romance novels, with the exception of the occasional break to the present with a little Sandra Brown, but I have to say that Nora did an excellent job with this family and somehow managed to keep the story from feeling redundant which had to be hard with the basic plot in all books being the MacGregor secretly matchmaking his family up with the perfect person. It's all very very far from the reality we know these days. But that's why we read fiction, right? lol PS If you like the MacGregor Books and have been wanting to try historical romance, you might want to check out the "Velvet" series by Jude Deaveraux. They are INCREDIBLE!

sweet...

very romantic!good story, strong characters, laugh and cry, and alan macgregor: what a sweet man.

Another MacGregor winner

I loved this book and the whole series about the wonderful MacGregor family. This one contains two stories-**Alan's story- alan is the first born son and a US Senator with aspirations for the presidency. He falls for Shelby- an eccentric Washington potter who's father was also a senator and assassinated when she was just a girl. For this reason, Shelby does not want to get back involved into politics. Alan spends most of the book plotting to win over her and I enjoyed his attempts to do so. This was a charming novel.**Grant's story--Grant is a reclusive artist who lives in an old lighthouse. Gennie is on the run from a tragedy in her past and is stranded when her car stops. She winds up on Grant's door-like a breath of sunshine. He wants to remain a recluse but Gennie has gotten into his heart. It is quite funny and touching, esp when they go visit the Macgregor family.I very much enjoyed these stories as i have all the macgregor novels- Nora Roberts certainly has crafted a winning dynasty.

A Truly Wonderful Read!

I absolutely loved Alan & Shelby and Grant & Gennie's stories. It is always enjoyable for me to have a visit with the MacGregor family, but these two stories could stand alone on their own merit, even if the characters weren't members of one of my all time favorite families. Shelby and Alan's story is full of fun and romance. These two are complete opposites, Alan so dignified and tactful and Shelby so flamboyant and outspoken, but they soon find out that opposites really do attract and it's lots of fun to watch them come together.Grant and Gennie's story had me enthralled. Just the scenery alone is magnificent, but when it's added to the tumultuous romance between Grant and Gennie it makes the story a knock-out! Grant is a loner who chooses to live miles away from civilization, but when beautiful Gennie must seek refuge in his lighthouse during a storm, Grant's entire world is turned upside down, with steamy results!So, if you are looking for a few hours of pure enjoyment, it is more than worth your while to get this book.

Fabulous book!

How much do I love this book... I could not put it down for a second. And I don't agree with the reviews of the first story... Alan and Shelby had a fascinating courtship. It was interesting, detailed, very well written. I absolutely, 100% recommend this book for any of you true romantics out there. It's great :-).
