Close to Home: 2-In-1: Loving Jack and Best Laid Plans

By Nora Roberts

Book Overview

#1 New York Times bestselling phenomenon Nora Roberts combines the first two Loving Jack novels in one newly packaged edition.

Loving Jack
Three months of solitude in a gorgeous secluded summer rental home is the perfect atmosphere for Jackie "Jack" MacNamara to write the novel featuring the man of her dreams. She only wishes that her rugged Wild West cowboy existed.

Then her reverie is interrupted by Nathan Powell, a mild-mannered architect who is perplexed that his house has been rented without his knowledge and expects Jack to leave. But Jack's not about to let her work be disrupted--unless she can convince her handsome host that fate has brought them together for a romantic adventure greater than fiction.

Best Laid Plans
Cody Johnson knows his building designs are solid. Abra Wilson believes she can't possibly construct anything so fancifully imagined. Collaborating on this new resort leads to many heated debates--as well as unexpected rises in passion. But even as Cody and Abra put in overtime professionally and personally, someone determined to sabotage the project puts their lives in danger.

Customer Reviews

Nora Roberts does it again

Nora Roberts wrote yet another amazing book. I was a little worried at first that it would be kinda boring but once I started I couldn't put it down. The second story about the contracter Abra was the better of the two., but I liked how the two stories shared characters. I would highly recommend this to anyone that likes Nora Roberts books.

LOVED THIS BOOK

I am under my husbands name writing this review but I loved reading this book You just fell in love with Nathan and Jackie, Cody and Abra...I think if you read Nora Roberts books then you need to read this one if you have not already..

A Fun and Entertaining Read

I found this book in our library in hard back and large print. It's one of Nora Roberts older ones but is absolutely delightful. If youre feeling down or sad, read this book. I laughed so hard through most of it. It was just delightful reading. Nathan is almost stuffy and set in his ways and how Jackie breaks through all those walls so he knows he can't live without her,makes such a fun read. I think NR might update the book a bit and reissue it. Jackie uses a typewriter instead of a computer and the hero smokes way too much as now in 2007, we know is a killer. Sometimes you need a book that is just relaxing and fun and this is it!!!!

entertaining

I'm a nora Roberts fan , so I liked almost every book she wrote. I found this one easy to read and entertaining . Characters are credible and as Nora Roberts is in love with life all her stories are lovable.

beginning nora

i really do enjoy her current stuff (rivers end, the reef) but it is always great to pick up one of the older books by nora roberts that read in a day. sometimes i just dont feel like thinking that much when trying to relax with a book, (bag of bones by stephen king is/was getting on my nerves) so taking a break and tearing thur one of noras has brought me back to relaxation ::smile
