"Attorney Caine MacGregor had a reputation for being a demon in the courtroom - and in the bedroom. He yearned to break down Diana Blade's icy wall of control and release the passionate woman within. When he offered Diana a partnership - in both business and pleasure - could he entice her to risk everything for the love of a MacGregor?" (From Amazon)
Just blah - the characters did nothing for me and I think the book was more romance than story which did not interest me.

Rereading the MacGregor series has been fun. What is crazy is how little I remember of these books - almost like I'm reading a brand-new book every time. Before, I rated these books as compilations (Serena and Caine, Alan and Grant, etc.). But that didn't really tell me which books I really liked - just which compilation. Overall, I enjoyed Caine and Diana's story - 3.5 stars.
*PSA - Listen to my friends' Nora Roberts podcast, Romancing the Shelf - they are taking a deep dive into the MacGregor series now!

Me gusto, fue entretenido y muy fácil de leer pero no me encantó. Leí muchos libros de Nora Roberts y este aunque no malo es de mis menos favoritos.
Los protagonistas están bien pero no logré encariñarme mucho con ninguno de los dos, su relación fue linda y bien lograda pero no logro atraparme como en otros libros de la misma autora.
Lo que si logro este libro es que quiera seguir leyendo más sobre los MacGregor.

The second story in the MacGregor series, recently re-released in eBook form ($6.99 for both Nook & Kindle).
I'll be the first to admit that I'm a huge Nora Roberts fan, but honestly, of all of the series, minus Mac (book #9), this is one of my favorites.
Caine is the former Attorney General, now working in his own firm. Of him, and one other person, his secretary, a soap-opera obsessed, organized chaos type of character. A wonderful woman, though. Love her!
Diana is Justin's sister. She thinks he abandoned her, but finds out that what she had been told was all false, with no truth.
Of course, things get all clusterfluffed when The MacGregor, Daniel, Caine's father, gets involved. It forces Serena to give advice, which she hates, but in the end, love wins out.
It's a beautiful story with believable happenings, amazing family dynamics that, even years after reading for the first time, I'm still jealous of.
Nora Roberts is in a class all by herself with her series. It always leaves us wanting more. Not more because something is left hanging, but more, like we would be content to read about everyday boring lives, just because we get so hooked into those characters.

Esta segunda parte me ha gustado algo menos, ya que no he llegado a conectar con los protagonistas. A pesar de este detalle, me ha gustado mucho que la autora nos plantee un tema tan interesante como saber que te tienes a ti mismo cuando todos los demás te han abandonado o fallado. Es una enseñanza elemental que todo el mundo debería tener interiorizada: tus seres queridos pueden complementarte y está muy bien, pero, al fin y al cabo, la única persona a la que realmente necesitas en la vida es a ti mismo. Vuelve a parecerme demasiado corta como para que podamos conocer a los nuevos personajes que se incorporan en este libro pero me ha gustado conocer un poco más de los personajes del primer libro, de su infancia y su forma de enfrentarse a las dificultades.

I loved this story about Caine and Diana even as a re-read but did not enjoy it as much as the first story in the series. They are brought together when Diana comes to meet her brother, Justin. They then begin to get together but insecurities get in the way. A great story and cannot wait to continue in the series. Definitely a series I would recommend. Xxxx
