I love Nora Roberts February 15, 2008
I have been reading Nora Roberts since I was a senior in high school. That was 4 years ago and I say she still has it. I recently started on the MacGregor series and I am ashamed of myself for not reading them earlier. This book of the series is my favorite as of yet. I still have two more to go though. But I do not think you will be disappointed and if you are looking for a good romantic book to crawel up with late in the night.
The Magnificent MacGregors! November 17, 2007
What more can I say? I have fallen in love with this family. From the 18th century clan to the present day, each generation's story is told in Nora Robert's most enchanting style. "Serena and Caine" is the story of two of the three offspring of our patriarch Daniel MacGregor and his wife, Anna Whitfield MacGregor. The first story in the book centers on Serena, Daniel and Anna's only daughter. Serena is out to find her niche in life by taking a break from her rigorous routine of professional student, taking graduate class after graduate class, by spending a year working as a blackjack dealer on a cruise ship. Just as her last voyage sets sail, unbeknown to her, her father has decided it is more than enough time for his daughter to settle down and begin a family of her own. Daniel plants the idea of a taking a relaxing cruise on the luxury liner, The Celebration, in the ear of his business associate, young Justin Blade, with the hope that he will meet up with his daughter (of course Justin doesn't know this) and the inevitable will occur. This story, as most all of the MacGregor stories go, is pure romance with lots of laughs and plenty of soap opera-type gimmicks by the characters. Justin and Serena do meet up and Justin is immediately attracted to her, not even knowing at first that she is Daniel's daughter. Of course Serena is not that easily swayed and when the truth does come out about her father's meddling, it only makes the relationship that much more rocky. As Serena decides they would be better business partners than lovers, she takes Justin up on his offer of a job in his Atlantic City casino, The Comanche. Of course Serena will not bow to working for him, she insists that she be a full partner and they work on equal ground. This scenario sets the groundwork for some terrific storytelling.
The second story centers on Caine, the younger son of Daniel and Anna. Caine, a Boston attorney, goes to visit his sister, Serena, and Justin at their casino and meets up with Diana Blade, Justin's estranged sister. Caine is immediately attracted to Diana, but Diana has a lot of soul-searching to do as she has led a somewhat sheltered life since the age of six years old when both her parents died and her older brother Justin, ten years her senior, left her with her well-to-do, snooty, Aunt Adelaide to be raised while he went out to raise money for his family. Diana grew up believing he deserted her and has lots of ghosts to deal with as Caine decides he wants her just as she is. Diana, being an attorney as well, has decided now is the time to strike out on her own, for the first time in her life, not being told what to do and how to act by her strict Aunt. This story is every bit as good as Serena's and, although romance is a high priority; the storyline is enchanting and holds the reader's attention to the very end.
