5.0 out of 5 stars All the Possiblities, May 2, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: All The Possibilities (Silhouette Special Edition, No 247) (Paperback)

All the Possiblities is part of the wonderful McGregor saga created by Nora Roberts, my favorite romance author. In this book, Shelley Campbell, a pottery shop owner, and Alan, a Senator and son of Daniel McGregor, meet at a D.C. party. Alan knows from the start Shelley's the one he wants, but Shelley needs some convincing. She's especially fearfully of his presidental ambitions, as her father had them and was assasinated. The rest of the family is incorporated into the story, an ingrained part of Robert's style that adds to the overall warmness and displays the depth of family love. Read about how Alan and Shelley fall in love with each other, all the ins and outs of their characters, and discover the magic of Nora Roberts.

4.0 out of 5 stars Daniel MacGregor Has Met His Match!, May 9, 2005

By	Susie Morris "Book Junkie" (Southern California) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

ALL THE POSSIBIITIES is part of the MacGregor Series and is a story focusing on Shelby Campbell and Senator Alan MacGregor. If you've read any of Nora Roberts's books regarding the MacGregors, you'll know how enjoyable this family can be.

Yes, Alan is a child of Daniel MacGregor, so you know that he's being drilled about marriage and adding to that MacGregor bloodline. But Daniel isn't so sure about a Campbell coming into the family, as they have been enemies from way back. But Shelby can hold her own against this rambunctious old meddler. The question is can she hold her own against her memories of the assassination of her father so she can follow her heart?

ALL THE POSSIBIITIES is a very cute story, which is a quick read. Most could probably read it in a day or two at the most. It's a feel good story with great character description. And anything with Daniel MacGregor in it is enjoyable to read!!

2.0 out of 5 stars Not the best, September 27, 2007

By	Roger Long "longrush" (Port Clinton, OH USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The best part of a Nora Roberts novel is the setting, the atmosphere--a castle on the coast of Maine, or a village in the Tetons, or Alaska in winter, or a California vineyard... Unfortunately the atmosphere in "All the Possibilities" doesn't measure up to most other Roberts books--or at least to any of the 30 or so that I've read. D.C. and, briefly, Hyannis Port just don't have the punch this time out.

I suspect that the vast majority of Roberts readers are women. I further suspect that said readers approve of the characters' actions, since a new Roberts novel is an almost sure best seller. From this, I must conclude that the vast majority of Roberts readers are enticed by the phantasy of a handsome and successful and athletic man who all but forces the heroine into bed. In fact, he is at the point of rape, as she says no, no, no, when she realizes that this is what she wanted all along.

The bedding scenes are about the same in every book and are always just past the middle. Ms. Roberts must have a thesaurus of euphemisms for these encounters. She avoids all use of graphic Anglo Saxon nouns and verbs and, instead, provides a gauzy description of the lovemaking. There's a lot of nibbling, and taking, and grazing Does this make an almost-rape acceptable? Apparently so.

I still believe Nora Roberts is a very talented writer who is prostituting herself by writing the same novel over and over, because the formula is so successful financially. As long as readers buy into the fuzzy sex scenes and the egocentric and forceful hero, why change anything?
