Publisher's summary

#1 New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Nora Roberts enchants again with this beloved classic about the passionate and headstrong MacGregor family.

Attorney Caine MacGregor had a reputation for being a demon in and out of the courtroom. The dashing young attorney rarely met a case - or a woman - he couldn't win. But Diana Blade was no ordinary lady. Caine yearned to break down her icy wall of control and release the passionate woman within. He might be able to convince Diana to form a business partnership, but could he entice her to risk everything for the love of a MacGregor?

Did not hold my interest

The narration was poor. The male voices was not done well. I will not read the other sequel if done by same narrator.

Caine and Diana

What did you love best about Tempting Fate?

The ongoing characters in the family MacGregor

What was one of the most memorable moments of Tempting Fate?

Being snowed in and stuck in a hotel that typically rents rooms by the hour

Did Angela Dawe do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

Yes. She lowered her voice for the male characters, added a brogue for Daniel. She softened her voice for Anna and raised it for Rena.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No. Nice simple romance.

Any additional comments?

This series holds up 30 yrs after first publication. The characters smoking cigarettes dates the series but other than that it could be written today.

Another Good Read

This was a good romance, light, and easy to read. The Macgregors are always interesting. Not too crazy about the lady who read the book. She was easy to understand but there is a certain cadence to her voice that sounds somewhat arrogant.Could be the section of the country she is from and the "accent". It didn't keep me from listening to the book.

MacGregors 2, world of women 0

Well, a background-noise sort of book this is. You can listen to it while doing other things and not really miss anything. I like Nora Roberts best in stand-alone books, I realize that now. With an introduction to some of the characters, the background set-up in a previous book, this book was too predictable for me.
It did serve the purpose of having something to listen to that was easy romance and did not include zombies or slashers or intrigue, if that helps.

Roberts Still Learning

Early 1960's romance shows glimmers of the skilled author Roberts will become. Better than the cost book in the series.. If new to her writing try "The Witness" or "Whiskey Beach. "

Not what I was looking for.

Thought it was a mystery HUGE disappointment ! I was looking forward to a good mystery not a romance novel. It was so very predictable I had trouble getting to the end.

First book in the series was better

Do not like the narrator
Story was okay
I guess a story that is good for fluff and an escape
Easy to forget characters

Loved the story but...

I do not like this narrator. I stuck with it because I loved the continuing story, but I won't listen to another that she performs.

Love the story

Can’t wait for the next one about the senator. Following this family is fun and I hope the next story comes quickly.
