**** Laura. This is the first MacGregor story I'd ever read, and that initial bit by Daniel really threw me. I really needed to have gotten to know him in earlier books to not find him strange and kind of creepy. But now that I know him, it's not so bad. Anyway. Parts of this story were great. But I didn't like that the hero was coming on to a woman he'd only just met. And I didn't like the heroine's father much in this one. Other than that, it was a good story.
***** "Gwendolyn." She's an ER doc, he's a writer. Respect on both sides, Daniel of course throws them together. Probably my favorite of this anthology.
****½ "Julia." She's.... well, I think she's in real estate. And she has political ambitions. He's a contractor, works with his dad. The standard plot of they snipe at each other but they're attracted, and she wants "rules" for the relationship. Fun stuff when both of them are waiting for the other to say "I love you" first. I know it's not fair of me, but this one doesn't get 5 stars because I'm just so tired of that plot. (
