The MacGregors Collection: Volume 1

The MacGregors #1-5

by Nora Roberts

Playing the Odds
Serena MacGregor satisfies her thirst for freedom and adventure on the open seas, as a blackjack dealer on a cruise ship. There, no one knows about her wealthy upbringing, but the mysterious Justin Blade recognizes something different in the elegant blonde. And when he saunters up to her table, he decides to take the biggest gamble of his life—by playing for keeps…

Tempting Fate
Attorney Caine MacGregor has a reputation for winning—cases and women. But trying to coax the cool and calm Diana Blade into a partnership and into his bed may be his greatest challenge yet.

One Man’s Art
Cartoonist Grant Campbell has shunned the outside world, preferring to live and work alone—until a storm brings artist Genevieve Grandeau to the door of his lighthouse. Gruff and guarded, he offers her shelter for one night, never expecting how the glamorous beauty will affect the rest of his days…

All the Possibilities
Alan MacGregor knows what he wants—and it’s spirited shop owner Shelby Campbell. But Shelby has her reasons for keeping the dashing senator at arm’s length, including the centuries-old feud between their families…

For Now, Forever
Self-made millionaire Daniel MacGregor has a perfect life that’s only missing one thing: the perfect woman. And though he’s sure he’s found her in Anna Whitfield, the dedicated medical student is quite sure of her future plans…ones that don’t include an overbearing man like Daniel. But Daniel’s attempts to woo her will change her mind and heart, lead to a forty-year-old marriage—and launch a formidable dynasty…

So this was a trip down memory lane, i must admit that i think that this is like when you meet people you knew 20 years ago, you find that you have little in common... and this is the same with this book. 20 years ago i devoured it and enjoyed it, but now i find that the relationships, the nature/dominance of the men especially dated, i suppose it is book of its time...

I am re-reading classic Nora this summer through the library.
I have always liked the MacGregors, although some of the stuff that I used to find romantic seems a little overbearing now. A culture shift, as well as maturity, I suppose.
I still think Daniel is a hoot and Anna a brilliant saint.
The changes in technology since these were written are fun to notice, and to realize how dependent we are on it.

Timeless

The MacGregor series is probably my favorite from Nora Roberts. Having the books in a Kindle collection like this allows me to binge re-read the books. It's like Netflix in books except that they are out of order but that's okay too. I re-read my less favorite episodes as well. As Daniel MacGregor would say, I'm all the better for it.

DNF - no, no, no!! I don’t mind romance mixed into a story, but this is “romance” without a story. First, what woman would be attracted to a man that forces himself on her?!? Justin Blake is a douchebag. This woman is supposed to be super intelligent but acts like an idiot that’s been hypnotized around Justin. I typically liked Nora Roberts, but this was garbage.

Most boring Nora Robert's series ever.

All 6 books....and there are 6 more...were exactly the same story with different characters. I generally love her books but I really don't think she could have written these.

See my reviews for the individual books in this collection. Basically, the only one to earn a 4-star rating from me was the last one.

I had the pleasure of reading Nora Roberts' series of love, family and matchmaking from beginning to end. With all these gorgeous men, I have to say my heart was stolen by one in particular. Daniel (The Matchmaker). After all these years I am still as in love with this series. Nora Roberts and her Macgregors made me the romantic I am today.

Lovely MacGregors

Wonderful stories about the MacGregor family! Wonderful character development. I yearned for more. Not sure the order of the books is the was the way I would have read them but understand why the author would . Place them this way.

[Debbie · Rating 4 out of 5]

Wonderful stories involving the MacGregor clan. Each story is about 1 of the children of the patriarch's children. The stories are fun and engaging and you come to love the family. Great characters and you come to enjoy catching up with each couple in the following sequel books!

These stories is how I fell in love with Nora's writing years ago. Classics that are fun to re-read. Her character development is wonderful and has grown throughout the years.
