Search - The MacGregor Brides (MacGregors, Bk 8)

I blame my addiction to Nora Roberts on this book. This was the first one of her books I read, and I've been hooked ever since. Once you start reading about "The Macgregor" you can't wait to see what he'll be up to next!

In this trilogy of linked novellas, Roberts returns to her popular MacGregor clan series, this time to see the family's 90-year-old matchmaking patriarch "arrange" for the satisfactory marriages of his three eldest granddaughters. Of course, they are all totally focused on their professions, and marriage is the last thing on their minds?but Daniel wants grandchildren and he intends to get them. Fast-paced, warmly romantic, and filled with deftly portrayed characters, this charming, though lightly plotted story with a Christmas finale is a perfect holiday diversion, and fans, particularly of the earlier MacGregor stories (e.g., For Now, Forever, Silhouette, 1987) will be waiting. The quintessential Roberts, winner of the 1997 Romance Writers of America Lifetime Achievement Award, lives in Maryland.

I love this book - more of Daniel MacGregor at his meddlesome best! This time he's fixing up his granddaughters (Anna worries, you know). Not that they need fixing up, you understand. They're not in any hurry to get hitched - which is precisely Daniel's problem. As far as he's concerned, it's high time they got busy (so to speak) with providing some great-grandchildren (for Anna, of course). Naturally, he's got some prime specimens (good stock, he calls it) hand-picked for each granddaughter; all he's got to do is engage in his usual machinations to get them started, and let nature take its course...
