Book Blurb:

DANIEL MACGREGOR IS AT IT AGAIN!

At age ninety, there is nothing the powerful patriarch of the MacGregor clan would like more than to see his three eldest granddaughters happily married --- and he's handpicked three unsuspecting candidates he believes would make perfect husbands. But this might be his biggest matchmaking challenge yet: his granddaughters are so focused on their careers that marriage is the last thing on their minds. It's a good thing this meddlesome nonagenarian has a few tricks left up his sleeve ...

My Thoughts:

This book is a bit different from the others so far, because for once is an anthology with three stories, three girls that Daniel MacGregor decided to help settle down and find romance and love, because dear Anna misses some babies as he constantly says.

 

The first one is centered in Laura, Caine and Diana daughter, that as her parents only can think off law, another lawyer for the family and the first granddaughter that fell in Daniel plans for love, marriage and babies. For her he picked Royce Cameron, another Scotland heir. He was once an police officer but after some problems he decided to open a security company and that’s how we met him. Royce was hired by Daniel to install the best security system in the girls house, yes the three cousins live together. Royce knows exactly what he wants and Laura decides to give a chance for faith, or Daniel and they start to enjoy and relationship.

 

The second story is Gwendolyn falling in love. She is Serena and Blade daughter, and like her mother, extremely smart and decided to follow Anna’s path, as in med school. She’s really all studies and no fun, actually she has a bit of problems with understand other people feelings, but Branson Maguire is the best to help her and made her fall in love. He's a writer and Daniel send him to study the hospital and inspire some characters for his next novel. Things were really difficult at first for these two, but once they had some help it got really great. For me these was the best story from the book.

 

The last one is Julia story. She is Alan and Shelby daughter and we also get to know what happened in the past for these characters. Julia is really sparkly, after living in the white house and learning how to grow surrender by people, she is better suited for fall in love, but also doesn’t know how to express her feelings and it took quite some time for her to understand that Cullum was the perfect guy for her. Of course Daniel helped!

 

This was a fun book, and I really enjoy Nora writing. Is a romance so we all know what to expect but she twist things during her stories that makes me guess every time.
