Thrilling love stories - if the declarations of love give me a kick in the chest, I'm happy : ) And this one definitely did that! I'm charmed enough to try out more in her repertoire... (in addition to her In Death series, of course.) These are nice diversions. ( )

It worked with his granddaughters. Now Daniel MacGregor, powerful patriarch of the MacGregor clan, wants to see his three handsome, eligible-but stubbornly single-grandsons married. So he's found just the women to tempt, tease and torture D.C. (aka Daniel), Duncan and Ian all the way to the altar. And you can bet Daniel will be sitting by with his feet up, a glass of whiskey in hand, smugly watching his plans unfold.

I love this series from Nora Roberts!! There are several in this series and it doesn't matter where you start reading from, you can pick up the series anywhere (beginning, middle and/or end) and get caught up. I did happen to read the first one and it had one of the main characters working a casino on a ship, and since I LOVE to go on cruises, this one caught my attention right away. I can't remember the name of the book, but if you go to her website, I'm sure she'll have them. I recommend this for anyone who loves romance novels, with some sizzling steamy parts in them and some good humor along the way. And poor Daniel MacGregor, aka: The MacGregor, always seems to be trying to steal a cigar break when his wife happens to walk in to the room....ENJOY!! ( )

Nora Roberts writes contemporary romance at a level that most authors will never achieve. Even when it was the practice to write arrogant bullying heros with heroines who 'never knew it could be like this before' she gave her main characters equal footing.

Very much enjoyable. ( )

The next generation of MacGregors are encouraged to marry by their grandfather. Fun, light reading with no real surprises or shocks. ( )

"D.C." I liked this one. Well, except for The MacGregor's "wedded and bedded" phrase that makes me cringe every time he says it. Loved the reverse psychology Daniel used to get D.C. interested in Layna, and the scene when D.C. "rescues" Layna from Daniel's matchmaking. Much fun.
"Duncan". Now this is an ambitious heroine. (see my rant about Heart of the Sea) And the story fits well into the novella length without making me feel like something was left out.
"Ian". This one is About how what someone is thinking and what you think they're thinking can be vastly different things. Well, not completely, but it's certainly a theme throughout the story. ( )
