The MacGregor Brides (The Macgregors) 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.

The Hollow (book club) Review

This second book picks up the story two weeks later. Fox tries to help Layla hone her senses, so they can present a united front, and be as useful as Cal, Quinn, Sybil, and Gage is with their gifts. Since they sense things in the present, he knows how important it is for them to be at full strength when the demon next makes an appearance. Fox felt fortunate for the two-week lull in activity, but knew that had come to an end when he and Layla were attacked by a swarm of crows in the middle of Main Street. Layla got to see first hand the healing powers Fox possessed when his pecking wounds healed almost instantly.
As the group tries to figure out more about the puzzles from the past, the demon escalates the attacks. Instead of just focusing on one person, they are all in jeopardy at any given time. They realize that his strength is nothing like anything that they have ever encountered in the past, but that makes sense now that they know this cycle of seven is the final showdown.
The creepiness just gets better with each book. I enjoyed this second installment in the trilogy, and don't like having to wait until the end of the year for the conclusion with Gage and Sybil though. This book was Layla and Fox's story, but again as in the last book, all characters had a strong presence, which really adds a strong element.

What? So Nora Roberts wants us to think that an attractive man is one with an average build, a good sense of humor, lots of imagination, and plenty of maturity?
So Nora Roberts wants us to think that an attractive woman is one with an average body, huge sense of loyalty, a high work ethic, and plenty of maturity?
So Nora Roberts wants us to think that it's romantic for a man to hide in the bathroom so he can spend the night in his love's hospital room? For a man to bribe his love's mother with a gift. To think of his love's feelings before his own.
So Nora Roberts wants us to think its romantic for a woman to wear conservative clothes, make a house a home, and tell the man she loves honestly how she feels about him.
Yes! Thanks for the break from cardboard cutout characters.
