Commentary In Favor Of Books Playing The Odds (The MacGregors #1)
The cards were stacked, though neither of them knew it. Serena MacGregor's father left nothing to chance when he sent Justin Blade -- part Comanche and all gambler -- on a Caribbean cruise. His daughter was evading her responsibility to produce grandchildren by working as a blackjack dealer on the CELEBRATION. Odds were they'd meet. Serena's father had his hopes riding on what would happen when they did. Win, lose or draw, they were meant for each other, proving indisputably in this case that lucky in cards did not mean unlucky in love.Particularize Books Supposing Playing The Odds (The MacGregors #1)

I don't think I've ever put a Roberts book down unfinished. This book was not what I expected from her, though, & I have better things to do with my time than finish this drivel. First & foremost, the domineering "take what I want" male protagonist and the simpering, loving it female protagonist are dated & offensive. Yes, I know Serena considers herself strong & independent, but her actions prove otherwise. Add in a dearth of character development & a very thin plot, &"People in love belong together." - Serena MacGregorAfter having read my fair share of NR's trilogies and series so far, I figured it was about time I returned to one of her most famous ones. I had read Serena's story - along with Caine's - when I was still in high school, so I thought I would just give it a quick reading and move on to the next ones. How wrong I was...There's only one thing Serena MacGregor, with all her diplomas and intelligence, wants. And that is to do business in the world
Hmm, I don't know if I have a ton to say at this point. Some of is a bit dated (Justin's heritage in particular), but also! Serena didn't let him get away with "protecting" her, which, wow, feels rare in modern books.Definitely looking forward to spending more time with this family.
The one that started off the whole Macgregor's saga ... worth reading ... brilliantly characterised and shows why Ms. Roberts is considered the best ...
Hotel owner and gambler Justin Blade takes a Caribbean cruise after his friend Daniel MacGregor persuades him to take a vacation. Unknown to Justin, Daniel's lovely daughter Serena (whom Justin has never met) is working in the gambling casino on the ship and Daniel hopes the two will meet on board. They do and sparks fly!I loved the scenic locations in this book--a Caribbean cruise, Justin's hotel and casino in Atlantic City. This book also had a little bit of suspense thrown in towards the end.
LOVELY LOVELY STORY even so the second time around. I love Serena and Justin Blade. :D Blade is gorgeous and well hot. Serena is just such an awesome heroine. I love the MacGregors... :D
This is the second romance novel I had read when I first started reading romances at the age of 14. These books are what got me hooked on romance, Ive read each book about 20 times they never get old to me. The MacGragors are a wonderful timeless family that will always be my number one absolute faorite series of all time.
