Of all the Nora Roberts series, "The MacGregors" is a hands-down favorite for a majority of her fans, including this reviewer. It features one of the best and most loveable of Nora's characters: the irrascible, meddling, proud and stubborn patriarch of the MacGregor Clan: Daniel MacGregor.

As this book opens, The MacGregor is meddling in his family's affairs once again. He is chafing at the bit to see his three single grandsons married and producing babies for the Clan (because his "dear Anna" is "fretting for more great grandchildren") and no notion of privacy or personal boundaries are going to get in his way!

His first task is to arrange a blind date between D.C., described as having "warrior looks," once the First Son in the White House, and now a temperamental artist, with quiet, composed and very lovely (although she doesn't believe it) Layna Drake, the heir to Drake's Department Store, an upscale institution renowned for its elegance and good taste. Trapped into the date, D.C. and Layne meet--and dislike each other on the spot. What happens next? Read the book and see...

Second grandson Duncan Blade is a dangerous blend of Comanche and Scots, and is nobody to mess with. He runs a gambling riverboat, part of the highly successful chain of hotels and casinos run by his parents. But the riverboat is his idea and his business. And when his beloved but meddling grandfather Daniel wheedles Duncan into accepting a singer for the boat's lounge, Duncan is highly displeased. Enter Cat Ferrell, a foxy, purring powerhouse of a singer with a flirtatious manner that hides a sensitive and hurt soul. No way is Cat getting involved with her gorgeous new boss. No way is Duncan getting involved with this pert and petite singer. So Daniel has to take the "lovely Anna" on a little riverboat holiday...

Stalwart, handsome, and brilliant attorney Ian MacGregor is the son of the former Attorney General, and nephew of the former President, D.C.'s father. But Ian rejects the media's supposition that he, too, is being groomed for politics. Quiet and polite, Ian is nevertheless very much his own man, and law is the life he has chosen. As this story opens, Ian is off to Brightstone's bookstore to pick up a large order from his grandfather, who has inexplicably called and asked him to perform this favor. Oh...and the order must be picked up from Naomi Brightstone herself, the shy, self-deprecating but talented businesswoman who very successfully continues in her family's footsteps as head of the flagship store. Ian and Naomi have no idea there's a schemer loose in their lives...and no intention of getting involved in any way. Tell that to D.C. and Duncan. The MacGregor is not used to being thwarted.

This book is an absolute delight, a true treasure, even for those who don't choose to read romances as a rule. If you want a fun, easy, and thoroughly enjoyable treat, this is your book.

This is a fun series of books. I really loved each of the books in it! Nora Robert fan will love them as well.

I love geting lost in a really good book especially if it is a story that seems to go on forever (sort of like a soap) anyway, the series is terrific. Buy the book and give it a try.

Daniel MacGregor is a hopeless romantic who wants to see all of his progeny happily married off and producing new heirs to the MacGregor fortune. In "The MacGregor Brides", Daniel does a matchmaking job on three of his granddaughters, which he follows up in this book with similar schemes for his grandsons. He arranges meetings between D.C., an independent artist, and Layna, who is intent on advancing her career at her family's business; Duncan, who runs a gambling riverboat, and Cat, an insecure but independent singer; and Ian, a bright, young lawyer, and Naomi, a bookstore magnate who is just discovering how to have relationships. This book should please Nora Roberts fans.
