5.0 out of 5 stars Fireworks - Romantic and Otherwise, April 12, 2005

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

This review is from: For Now Forever (Language of Love No. 19) (Mass Market Paperback)

This is the story of my favorite Nora Roberts character of all time - Daniel MacGregor, the wealthy businessman with the Midas touch. Daniel MacGregor, the meddlesome, matchmaking father and grandfather who's family is his greatest accomplishment of all time! This is his story, the story of he and Anna, the wife behind the man.

I have to say that I've read several of Nora Roberts's books revolving around the MacGregor clan and have loved each and every one of them. Roberts produced a winner when she created the character of Daniel MacGregor and this vibrant, fun-loving family man has yet to compare with any other fictional creations. Through Roberts's vast and vivid descriptions, a definite mental picture of Daniel is very much etched forever into your mind. His escapades of meddling into his family's love lives has left me laughing and also wishing that I too had a grandfather as vivacious and effervescent as this man.

When I found FOR NOW, FOREVER I was thrilled that I'd finally get to read about how Daniel met his Anna, the true love of his life. And I wanted to see exactly what transpired between them to make Daniel believe that everyone should be happily married just like he and Anna. This book didn't let me down and I loved every word of it!

The book starts out with Daniel having a heart attack and Anna rushing him to the hospital. She calls the kids home as the dire circumstance dictates (if Anna, a surgeon, was worried, I knew Daniel had to be in bad shape). Then Roberts uses flashbacks to tell the story of how Anna and Daniel met and fell in love. As Anna is waiting in the hospital to see if Daniel will live, she begins remembering the courtship and the ordeals that can only come about when involved with Daniel MacGregor.

The reader is shown how Daniel finds Anna and sets his mind on convincing a very independent Anna Whitfield that she can't live without him and must marry him. It's a fun look at how a very dynamic person such as Daniel meets his match in a petite woman with a streak of hardheadedness all of her own. When these two are together you can count on fireworks and they aren't always the romantic type!

If you love the numerous MacGregor stories then this is a must read. It will make you understand Daniel and Anna - and it will make you realize that you can still have your individualism and be in a loving relationship. This is the perfect romance story with tons of humor thrown in to balance things. I enjoyed it so much, I may end up reading it again the summer!

I really enjoyed this book because of the foundation it lays for all of the other MacGregor stories. We now see how crafty Daniel can be, and loving as well.
