Brooding loner Preston McQuinn's new apartment, like his life, was just the way he wanted it--dark and empty. But when sunny Cybil Campbell came barging into his well-ordered gloom, he couldn't deny a grudging fascination with his bright, bubbly neighbor. And then she tried to hire him--as her date! Preston thought he'd closed the door on love for good, so why was he suddenly longing to open up his heart to his incredibly perfect neighbor?

FANTASTIC! NORA, YOU'VE DONE IT AGAIN!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Perfect Neighbor (The MacGregors, No 11) (Silhouette Special Edition No. 1232) (Mass Market Paperback)
In THE PERFECT NEIGHBOR, Daniel MacGregor has done it again. This time he's homed in on his honorary granddaughter, Cybil, the youngest daughter of Grant and Genvieve Campbell. He's chosen Preston Quinn as her perfect match. Preston, a successful play writer seeking privacy, accepts The MacGregor's offer to stay at his apartment building, where "coincidentally" Cybil lives aswell. When Cybil and Preston meet, the mutual attraction is staggering. Preston, having been hurt in the past, is adamant about not getting involved in a relationship again, while Cybil, feels that she's not ready to settle down yet. As fate or a MacGregor would have it, Cybil and Preston fall in love despite themselves. But in order for them to be truly happy, they must first learn to trust one another with their hearts. Grant and Genvieve's cameos were absolutely great, adding even more humor and delight to this already fantastic story. I recommend this book wholeheartedly. It's another wonderful addition to the MacGregor saga. You'll love it. Trust me!

A light and sunny romance.,
By
This review is from: The Perfect Neighbor (The Macgregors) (Mass Market Paperback)
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! **** Reviewed by Detra Fitch of Huntress Reviews.

Daniel MacGregor - The Reincarnation of Venus?,
By
This review is from: The Perfect Neighbor (The MacGregors, No 11) (Silhouette Special Edition No. 1232) (Mass Market Paperback)
The MacGregors were one of Nora Roberts' creations that surpassed excellence. These family members are fun, witty, strong natured, hardheaded, and a joy. I can't think of another fictional family that I've enjoyed more than the MacGregors and their extended family. These characters have made every book written about them fun to read!
In THE PERFECT NEIGHBOR, Cybil Campbell is extended family, after all the Campbells and MacGregors have a long history together. Her being extended family does not mean she's immune to Daniel MacGregor's matchmaking prowess. Daniel, the patriarch of the MacGregor clan is the best at what he does, be it business or making sure his family is all married, happy, and continuing the family line of MacGregors. He's an expert at harmonizing his family members with the perfect match, even if they don't think so in the beginning. Their blissful happiness usually changes their frustration at his interference. Daniel places Preston McQuinn, a quiet loner, right in the path of Cybil, whose bubbly and outgoing personality could either overshadow or compliment McQuinn. That's the difference between Daniel and other do-gooders - Daniel just places the people in each other's paths and lets magic happen. And since Daniel owns an apartment complex, he can't be held responsible if two tenants would be perfect for each other and he just happens to place them in close proximity. The magic begins when Cybil mistakes Preston as being unemployed and tries to hire him as her escort. For some reason, Preston agrees and Nora Roberts then takes the reader on a journey of fun and laughter, ok there is romance too! Daniel MacGregor has a perfect matchmaking record and no one, Cybil and Preston included, can deny that he's the best in the world at pairing people. I'm wondering if this is a talent that's gotten better with time, or if Daniel MacGregor is the male reincarnation of Venus, the Goddess of Love?
