I have been reading Nora ever since her mills and boon days and hope she never gives up writing. her story's strong and they make cry and laugh at the same time. you can always relate to her caricatures. no matter how small a part any one has in her books they all get a say. I live in Ireland and some times a new release is late getting to our stores so thanks to I always have her books on time.
I enjoyed the series. It would be more fun to read them in order, which I did not. I did not realize that the later books were part of the series. Nora Roberts does a good job making you care about the characters.
This is a reread for me. I first read it when it was released in the 80's. I loved the whole concept and used to eagerly await each book of the McGregors to be released. I have subsequently bought them again for my Kindle. The story, like all Ms Roberts, is well told and gets you acquainted with old friends. This is a series of books I would thoroughly recommend.
This is classic Roberts, involving a colorful family you get to "know" and want to know more. Nora Roberts is a masterful yarn spinner well known for strong, vivid characterizations. She also uses intriguing plot lines and keeps you turning pages til the end. I've read many of her early works, until she got into paranormal themes. Roberts was the first 'chick lit' writer I ever read (not counting Austen, the Brontes, and the other "classic" womens fiction writers that were required school reading). I was 50 years old, a bit late coming to this genre. It's fun to have a couple of her works in my Kindle library.
I love the MacGregors' stories. I have read all of them three times and I am just now beginning all of them again. Everytime I read Nora Roberts over and over, there is always some that I've missed and she always brings out my emotions. She is one heck of a writer!!
Even thought I read the MacGregor books when they first were published, it was great to go back and reread the MacGregor clan stories. Wonderful story line. Kept my attention and didn't want to put the book down.
I'm slowly reading this series but I didn't love this one. My main issue is actually the secondary story in the book, about the relationship between the h and her 'estranged' brother. The h's brother married the H's sister in the previous book. They hadn't had contact in something like 20 years, she was much younger than him. I really hated that he never initiated contact with her (his wife did). He never apologises and in fact, the h feels bad about the way she subsequently treated him. I wanted to throw my Kindle. Anyway the H is in this book is a bit of a womaniser but he does settle down and was good to the h. I didn't ever take to the h very much, not sure why though.
It's not as good as some of her others. It didn't keep my interest a some of her other books did.
