Product Description
Product Description
In New York, people were supposed to ignore their neighbours. But that was a rule that Cybil Campbell had never learned. When the sunny brunette knocks on her new neighbour's door, she expected that they would make a connection - after all, she knew everyone else in the apartment block. Preston McQuinn wasn't interested in small talk. He was in Manhattan to finish a job and leave as quickly as possible - until Cybil's sweet nature and big green eyes captured his interest. Cybil was intrigued by her mysterious new acquaintance - but what would she do when she found out he'd been lying to her from the very first moment they met?

Cybil Campbell lives in apartment 3A, where she works magic by drawing the famous comic-strip "Friends and Neighbors". Nothing quiet about Cybil's life. She is bubbly, upbeat, loves to bake (and give it away so she will not eat it all), and thrives on background noise. Good thing too, since all her neighbors in the building are LOUD. Except, that is for the new resident in 3B, across the hall.
Everyone wonders who the new guy is. He is silent and seldom seen. Cybil finally gets the man to speak, thanks to her excellent and addictive cookies. She learns his last name is McQuinn, but that is about it. When a nosy, but good hearted, neighbor tries to set her up with one of her relatives (Frank) Cybil pays McQuinn to take her out. Cybil even buys him dinner. All just so the neighbor will see them and not be hurt. Cybil has come to the conclusion that McQuinn is a poor, out-of-work musician. He lets her think it too. But when Cybil finds out who he really is, her mind changes and she decides he is a narrow-minded, arrogant creep. Too bad she cannot seem to forget his kiss.
McQuinn's life is dark and barren, the way he likes it. He is rude to everyone so they will stay away and leave him alone. The last thing he wants is to be around his happy and sunny neighbor, Cybil. But while kissing her good night, strictly for their nosy neighbor of course, the block of ice around his heart begins to melt.
**** A light and sunny romance guaranteed to help sooth your nerves after a stressful day. No serious danger here. Just romance brewing between opposites. Very well done! ****

I really like how Nora Roberts chooses careers for her characters that are creative and grounded in the arts. The Preston and Cybil romance is true to form in that Cybil is a knows-what-she-wants, sassy woman and Preston is the typical, brooding, I-don't-want-to-fall-in-love, hotheaded heartthrob. You'll get a laugh out of how a thwarted mugging reminds the reader of Nora Roberts' sense of the strength of women.
I think it was a well developed story with solid character history and easy to see tie-ins with the rest of the MacGregor series. The only problem is that this plot style is getting old. It seems as though I could superimpose these two characters onto half the other match-ups in this series and never know the difference. A person's genetic make-up doesn't REALLY dictate how hard they fall in love.
But still, who can resist another chance to see the MacGregor in action? It makes you wish every family had a patriarch such as Daniel.

Whilst it is never essential to have read other books in Nora Robert's sagas, it does help understanding the main character. I remember the original series, and the children that are now being written about have definite characteristics of their parents. If you enjoy the sense of continuity in family sagas, you will enjoy this latest of the Macgregor series. Preston McQuinn is so like Grant, it is entirely feasible that Grant's daughter would be attracted to him. I actually received the book this morning, and as I am recuperating from an operation, read it without a break (except for refilling my coffee cup!!)

SIMPLY GREAT!
This book, in my opinion, is best of The MacGregor series yet. I just don't know what to expect from Nora anymore. But, I do know that I can expect something great from her.

This is a typical Nora Roberts Book
With each book that I read of hers, I find myself hoping that the story won't end. But, alas, it always does. But she does leave me looking forward to the next one.
