Summary: The Perfect Neighbor
Review: Cybil Campbell can't help but be curious about the handsome, mysterious neighbor who has just moved in next door. She tries to be friendly, but he resists her attempts at friendship and stays behind closed doors, a man who apparently has no job, no friends, and no interest in getting to know Cybil. Finally, she breaks through his reserve, but he still keeps many things hidden from her. Nora Roberts' romances are predictable, but it's fun to see how she gets two stubborn people together. This is part of the MacGregor series, and Grandfather Daniel, as always, makes an appearance.

Summary: it always makes me smile that...
Review: everyone in the family, and most the time, even "the chosen one" figures out that the macgregor is up to his tricks again, and they always deny it to themselves as well as others that its not happening, yet in the end....ahh...happiness! ::smile

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: MORE MAC GREGORS !!
Review: How can you possibly get enough of the Mac Gregor clan? Hopefully, we'll never have to find out... not as long as Nora Roberts keeps us up to date with little peeks into the lives of each branch of the Mac Gregor family tree. Cybill and Preston make a great romantic couple, although I found myself pleading with him to 'chill out' a lot sooner than he did! Still Ms. Roberts has always given us grade-A romances and this is no exception. My only complaint is that ; as with all of her books, I wish they were longer. Once you get started, you can't get enough !

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I want more!
Review: I agree! I want to see more MacGregors! When are the stories for Amelia and the others going to hit the market? I'm waiting!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: wonderful, but familiar
Review: I always love everything written by Nora Roberts, and this one was no exception. Still, I can't help but feel that this story has been done before. It did not lessen my enjoyment, because it was very fun to read

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Laugh out loud & cry lots of tears at the same time!!
Review: I am a biased Nora Roberts fan--I've read just about every book of hers I can get my hands on--and I did enjoy this book a lot. Yeah, the plot seems very familiar, & the characters are familiar too, but I loved it anyway! Ms. Roberts writes a great story, and I think this book was a fun read. (We fans demand lots of new stories from Nora Roberts, so we should forgive plots & characters that seem the same)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A great romance book for beginner,or those who have no time
Review: I just started reading a Nora Robert. Usually I read thrillers or mystery, cause romance is boring or too fancy, fantasy , historical and out of this world. Then I saw "Perfect Neighbour"'s rating in bestseller. I said, okay give it a try. I like contemporary writers like Linda Howard and Sandra Brown. This book is good for those who don't believe all those fantasy/historical , too long romance stuff. It's great. I love the characters : Campbell and McQuin. It's a book that I think could really happen in today's world, especially among the younger generation.I recommended to my friend, who's also a beginner in reading romance, as a foreign language. I think she will love it, like me.

Summary: A sweet MacGregor story, but a little too "usual"
Review: I really like how Nora Roberts chooses careers for her characters that are creative and grounded in the arts. The Preston and Cybil romance is true to form in that Cybil is a knows-what-she-wants, sassy woman and Preston is the typical, brooding, I-don't-want-to-fall-in-love, hotheaded heartthrob. You'll get a laugh out of how a thwarted mugging reminds the reader of Nora Roberts' sense of the strength of women.

I think it was a well developed story with solid character history and easy to see tie-ins with the rest of the MacGregor series. The only problem is that this plot style is getting old. It seems as though I could superimpose these two characters onto half the other match-ups in this series and never know the difference. A person's genetic make-up doesn't REALLY dictate how hard they fall in love.

But still, who can resist another chance to see the MacGregor in action? It makes you wish every family had a patriarch such as Daniel.
