Rating:  Summary: The MacGregor stories are wonderful! Review: The MacGregor family is Nora Roberts' most enduring set of characters. This story focusing on the 3 granddaughters of Daniel MacGregor is perfect summertime beach reading. Daniel MacGregor is one of Ms. Roberts' first characters, being the main character in one of her very early serial romance books. I actually "met" him in that book, the story of how he met and romanced his wife-to-be. I was just thrilled to meet up with him again in the Brides' story. He has remained consistent through the years, believing in the grandeur of being in love with that perfect match and meddling in his families' lives so that they can each enjoy their own love affair as he and his Anna have for so many years. Great, easy, enjoyable read.
Rating:  Summary: unique style Review: the style is different. 3 heroine in one book. You can really tell each of them have it's own characteristics. as you finish one story, you can't wait to read the next. Yet, the style is not just about the 3 cousins, but their grandfather. It's unique also include the fact that you are like reading from a diary from an old man.. the MacGregor. But then, his action is not old and he's doing all this just so his loving wife wont worry too much.

Rating:  Summary: ONE OF THE BEST Review: This is the very first book that I ever read of Nora Roberts and I just have to say that I fell in love. I have bought all most every book she has ever writen and to be honest they all just keep getting better and better. But the Macgregors are near and dear to my heart. You end up feeling like you are a part of the whole MacGregor clan, and who could resist Daniel??? This book is funny and warm. I highly recommend....Do enjoy :)

Rating:  Summary: So good you'll never put it down!!!! Review: This was my first Nora Roberts book and I loved it. I especially loved the Laura story. These were fun stories that were easily read and hard to forget. I plan on reading a lot more of her books in the near future. The grandfather is very old and decides to fix up his 3 single granddaughters. They balk at his plans, but they soon find out that love comes in strange ways. Read this book, you'll love it!!!
Rating:  Summary: A little corny... Review: This was the first Nora Roberts novel I've read and most likely the last. It started off strong and interesting. However, I found the characters to be non-believable. They were portrayed as too perfect and ideal for real life. The author doesn't give each character time to develop. Therefore, in each of the trilogies, there is an abrupt transition from when the couples first meet each other to when they end up together. The simple plots and unrealistic characters insult the readers intelligence. Also, I don't think there was enough variety in the vocabulary. Certain words such as "tug" and "good stock" were used over and over, to the reader's annoyance. A good editor might have picked up on these.
Rating:  Summary: Hand-picked Grooms from Grandpa Review: You're young, you're single, you're living alone with your two cousins in an exciting Boston neighborhood. One of you is a surgical resident, one is a brand-new lawyer, and one is a successful real-estate agent. Do you need your 90-year-old grandfather to pick your boyfriends? Yes! Or so thinks irrascible MacGregor patriarch Daniel MacGregor, who meddled in his children's lives, and is now at it again. He wants his three granddaughters married and producing babies for his "dear Anna," a successful doctor in her own right who has made no such request. So The MacGregor gets to work... First on his list is Laura, impossibly beautiful and smart, who has joined her parents' law firm after passing the Bar. She doesn't need a man, thank you, and she certainly doesn't need the gorgeous, sexy, smart and tough ex-cop sent by Grandpa to install a security system at Laura's (and her cousins') home. Royce Cameron is a major pain in the neck, and Laura wants nothing to do with him...except that for some inexplicable reason, she can't get the hunky ex-cop off her mind. Gwen, a cool-under-pressure, classically beautiful blonde, is in her second year as a surgical resident. She doesn't need any more pressure, especially from a successful author who is researching his next mystery novel and needs input from a practicing physician. It seems that deep and sexy Bran was recommended by a certain Daniel MacGregor, and shows up at the hospital just as Gwen is saving a life in the ER. Exhausted and disheveled, Gwen wants nothing to do with this guy...who begins to woo her, literally, with wine and roses. Feisty Julia, Laura and Gwen's cousin and former First Daughter, relishes her freedom, especially after years growing up in the White House. What she loves most is to buy property, have it rehabbed, and sell it for huge profits. And she's great at it. She has a contractor she works with, and the last thing she needs is a substitute--the contractor's impossibly hunky son, Cullum. Neither Julia nor Cullum are looking for a relationship, especially with each other, and the intense attraction they feel for one another is just an itch. Right? Ask The MacGregor, who happens to be best buds with Cullum's father. This is a sheer delight from start to finish, Nora Roberts at her very best. A prequel to "The MacGregor Grooms," it's the type of book you read at one sitting and then get sad because there isn't any more! A must for hopeless romantics.
