Rating:  Summary: Naomi-Ian Review: I loved the Naomi-Ian story. The reason why I liked this story in particular was because the characters are basically nice, likable (likeable?) people. Sure, Nora Roberts makes the MacGregor's lives too good to be true, and it is a fairy tale in that respect. But, really, the good thing about these characters is that they want the same thing everybody else in life wants, or most people in life want. They just want to share their life with somebody and have children, and enjoy nice things. It's really as simple as that. I liked this story because it just promoted the simple, basic things people like in life. The characters weren't flashy or overly philosophical. They were just fundamentally good people. A lot of times you don't feel like rooting for certain characters in stories because they are mean, or the book makes it look cool to be mean, but in this story, I felt that I could really vote for the main characters. A nice read.
Rating:  Summary: Great easy reading romance Review: I loved this book and have since continued on reading all of the MacGregor books.
Rating:  Summary: One of her better Romance-Only Books Review: I prefer her suspense novels like Montana Sky. I do really like the trillogies - especially the Born In series. I enjoy when the characters are brought back in other books. That way you get to keep enjoying the other people. I really like the MacGregors. The old man is hilarious and I love all his matchmaking. I love that the family really loves each other and cares about the other family members. The MacGregor series definitely makes you feel good.
Rating:  Summary: Delay at airport Review: I purchased this book at the airport gift shop while I had extra time. Thinking with three stories I would be able to put it down without a problem. I got so involved I nearly missed my flight. All three of Daniel's grandsons are handsome and the brides that were 'hand-picked' for each grandson fit into their lives like a duck takes to water. After reading this, I went out and purchased the trilogy "Sea Swept" "Rising Tides" and I'm going to get "Inner Harbor" next. The men and women in this trilogy seem so real and you can just picture things as you go on reading. Nora Roberts has a way of bringing her charaters to life and you feel you're part of the story. I'm looking forward to getting back with the "MacGregors and their families." While looking through amazon I found out there is a lot of catching up to do.
Rating:  Summary: I love Nora Roberts!!!! Review: I read every NR's book I can get my hands on, and love them all! This one was no different!!! It's perfect!
Rating:  Summary: Fun, Hot, Romantic!! Review: I read the MacGregor Brides and was so excited to see the Grooms in the bookstore! I loved them! My favorite was Duncan and Cat! A fast, fun, hot read!
Rating:  Summary: A disapointing follow-up Review: I really enjoyed the wit of Macgregor Brides. It was one of the sweetest, yet well written romances that I have read in recent years and was looking forward to continuing with the series. The Macgregor Grooms was nowhere near as entertaining!It seemed that Nora Roberts was following a formula and simply plugged in names in a set of events that varies only mildly from vignette to vignette. She borrows too much from the previous book as well. Somehow the grandfather seemed more pushy and less doting here as well! Not really worth your time.

Rating:  Summary: This family is too perfect to be real Review: I recently read both the MacGregor Brides & Grooms, and that was ENOUGH for me! These people are just too good to be true, all gorgeous, ivy-league educated, to the manor born and brought together in marriage by their 90-something patriarch Daniel Duncan MacGregor(he must be pushing 100 by now). Old Daniel is the ultimate meddling, busybody grandfather who means well but pushes prospective mates on everyone in his family, God forbid someone decides to pass on marriage and family and be on their own! These two books were it for me, and I think I'll stick to the other Nora Roberts stories I've always enjoyed over the years. This series is too much!
Rating:  Summary: Boring Review: I was very disappointed with this book. I usually like Nora Roberts' books, but I was bored with this one. Nothing exciting happens with the love story. I didn't really care what happened with these characters, and I found Daniel MacGregor very annoying.
