**** 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
***** "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.

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."

This book is what it is and my problem was that I didn't really know what it was going in. I thought it would be a simple chick-lit but it was actually a full blown Mills & Boon boon which, stupidly, I didn't realise until I started reading. Stupidity aside, it was decent enough. Not my style of

book at all, but it is what it is and I suppose if you like that genre then it would be a lot of fun. For me though it was just something a bit light, easy to read and...just okay. Show Less

I love the whole Macgregor series! I bought the whole collection in paperback and re-read them every now and then. This was the first book I read so I'm leaving my review on here instead of leaving a review on each one.
All of the stories starred strong women, swoon worthy men, a laugh out loud and
The one thing I loved the most is the person who binds them all together; Daniel Macgregor!! The old schemer is a hoot. I wish I had him as a grandpa! Even though he meddles (of course to him it's just a little nudge) with the love lives of his children and grandchildren he does it out of love. When finding out what he has done of course they get angry but it doesn't last, it's hard to stay mad at him.
I don't know how Nora Roberts came up with a bigger than life, fun loving, mischievous, and big hearted character but thank goodness she did!
I know Ms. Roberts is finished with series but I wish she would come up with two more books because we're missing Matthew and Adriene's HEA
