Customer Reviews

What a wonderful, adventurous, romantic tale.

From the very first line of Chapter 1, I was drawn into the character of Darcy Walker. It was so easy to identify with her. I felt transformed by every experience she had. I experienced every emotion that Darcy did, every anticipation. The Winning Hand was filled from beginning to end with excitement! It was unbelievable. I felt as if I were Darcy Wallace. I have never been in a casino in my life, but the vivid descriptions drew me from Houston and sat me right down in the middle of the desert of Las Vegas, NV. I could feel the excitement of the activity going on in The Comanche. Darcy reacted exactly the way I would have the next morning after her arrival. Ms. Roberts did a great job of making these characters come alive, yes, but for the first time since I've been reading romances (at least 18 years) the background, the setting, was a character itself. At the end, I could not wait to pick up another story about the MacGregors. What a wonderful, adventurous, romantic tale.

I was sad when I reached the last page! GREAT Book.

Nora Roberts proves once again that she has a way with words! Does she ever run out of ideas? Year after year, she produces characters that we fall in love with as soon as we open the cover to her latest novel. Her diversity is amazing. She can write contemporary, edgy dramas and tender romances within months of each other. This book is certainly no exception to her top quality fiction. After all these years, she still produces unique characters and story lines that make me dread reaching the last page. Once I pick up a Nora Roberts book, I don't put it down until I'm finished. This book was no different. I'm yawning even as I write this. Who can think of sleep when Mac and Darcy are tittering on the brink of endless love? Thanks for another winner, Nora! -- Melinda Cannady

loved this story!!

i started reading "romance" books about a year ago when a friend of mine gave me her old copy of sanctuary...i was hooked and since then, have read about 20 of nora roberts books. at this point, no other romance author interests me. each time i read a book of hers, im taken away by how involved i become in the story and characters. this book was no exception and though it is a short one (which allows me to whip right thru it) it is a great one! i absolutely love "the macgregor" :;smile

A Great Read!

The latest in the MacGregors does not disappoint. Nora Roberts tells the story of a down on her luck girl who decides to take a different direction in her life. Darcy winds up in Las Vegas and one lucky pull on a slot machine makes her a millionaire. Darcy's money allows her to experience a life she has never dreamed of before complete with georgous casino owner Mac MacGregor. But is this innocent young girls ready to pick up and leave Kansas? Find out read, The Winning Hand. A great place place to start reading about the MacGregors - it's a stand alone book but it also gives you a look at how old favorites such as The MacGregor, Serena and Justin are getting along.
