Another great Nora Roberts book

The winning hand was great in this book and I really enjoyed the two main characters Darcy & Robert and the perfect neighbour ( the second story) was just as great. I wasn't disappointed in this book at all.

Another star for Nora

This book is another bright star in Nora's crown. I couldn't wait to read another book on the MacGregors, and this met all my expectations. Although this book should come with a warning, "Beware, you will not be able to put this down!"

Extended family relationships.

Concerning grandchildren and how the wily patriarch continuously interferes with their lives, oftentimes with great kindness, but most often seeking the completion of his own wishes. Great, likable characters you want to know more of.

Another Nora Roberts success.

The Macgregor family story is always fun to read. I love to see what Daniel is plotting for his various family members. Robert didn't expect when Darcy Wallace won the jackpot at his casino , she also would win his heart. Cybil thought she knew how to avoid her grandfather's scheming to get her married. Alas,Macgregor won again when he put Preston McQuinn across the hall. I look forward to the next Macgregor story. daniel

Two fantastic romances for the price of one!

Greetings again to all the fellow Nora Roberts fans out there from your friendly manly man! I may be a man, but I am also a die-hard romantic, and the works of Ms. Roberts give me a particular thrill as she weaves mystery, menace, and harrowing drama around her characters' slow-boiling passions. In most romance novels one is fairly certain that the male and female protagonists will eventually end up in each other's arms, but in Roberts's novels, how they arrive there and what obstacles they must overcome is what gives that anticipated climax--the revelation of sometimes unconscious but overwhelming desire and the emotional release of pent-up and barely contained feelings--the visceral force that sometimes leaves me breathless and shaking, unable to read any further. At such times I strip to my waist, baring my well-muscled chest, go to my garage, and rebuild a transmission. "The MacGregors: Robert & Cybil: The Winning Hand\The Perfect Neighbor" reprints two previously published books in the MacGregor series, a collection of stories detailing the lives and loves of the MacGregor family and its extended network. Overseeing the happiness and good fortune of his clan is Daniel MacGregor, the patriarch with an almost magical ability to find the perfect mates for his grandchildren in sometimes unexpected places. He reminds me of an elf, a manly elf. "The Winning Hand" is the story of Robert "Mac" MacGregor Blade, son of Justin and Serena MacGregor Blade, who runs the Comanche casino and finds himself drawn towards Darcy Wallace, a down-on-her-luck librarian running from her past who wanders into his casino and gambles her last remaining dollars to win almost $2 million. What then follows may be predictable in outline but not in execution, as Mac and Darcy learn to gain confidence and trust in themselves and in each other, which will come in handy when Darcy's past catches up with her and Mac must rise to the occasion, like a man. A manly man. "The Perfect Neighbor" asks the question whether seeming opposites do in fact attract. Cybil Campbell, the youngest daughter of Grant and Gennie Campbell and who lives in her grandfather Daniel MacGregor's building, doesn't know what to make of her new neighbor, Preston McQuinn. Little does she know that he is a plant, not of the photosynthetic variety, but of the MacGregor-choreographed, let's-place-him-here-and-see-what-develops variety. Bubbly, outgoing Cybil mistakes her quiet, loner neighbor for an out-of-work musician, but the truth challenges her deepening feelings for him, and the prospects for these two look grim when Preston feels himself growing too close to Cybil. You will grow close to these quirky, flawed, yet sympathetic characters as they fight, flirt, and have fun with each other, responding to their feelings and the twists of Fate with an honesty and insight that will leave readers and manly men laughing, crying and wishing for a family as colorful and loveable as, dare I say it, the MacGre
