In from the Cold by Nora Roberts
2.0
**A solid two stars for this installment of the MacGregor Clan.
Just a quick side note before I jump into this review: I am slowly working my way through the MacGregor series in chronological order rather than published order. Therefore, this was the second book I have read in the series. You can see my review for the “first” book on my profile.
There is only one word that comes to mind when I read this book:
MEH
Being a novella, I was worried that it would be rushed and fall flat. It actually left me more satisfied than Rebellion did. As you may know, I could barely complete Rebellion. It was extremely slow paced and I could not connect to the main characters – AT ALL. That book was so irritating that I even had to shelf it as “never again.” Not this book....
Alanna Flynn and Ian MacGregor had lovely chemistry – only slightly frustrating. Even though it was a “love-at-first-sight” story, *gag* I adored how it played out. The Murphys felt like family by the end of the book. Alanna's Da was wonderful; there is a sweet moment between him and Ian that just melted my heart. I loved the updates on the MacGregor family and getting to visit Serena and Brigham again.
Overall, I would not say it was a great book. However, I would not tell you not to read it if you asked. Like I said earlier: meh.
