Loving Jack

Written by Nora Roberts

Narrated by Angela Dawe

#1 New York Times bestselling phenomenon Nora Roberts—“America’s favorite writer” (The New Yorker)—begins her Loving Jack series with the story of an author enamored with her own imagined hero meeting a man who ignites her desires in reality.

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, he’s 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.

Reviews for Loving Jack

[n.w.moors-1 · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

I read the first book in this series which was a historical Western, so I was surprised when this one is more contemporary. It has Jack, the author of the first book, renting a home in Florida as she writes said book. It turns out the owner, Nathan, is an architect who has no idea he has a roommate. This is an early Nora Roberts book and not as good as the first book, which, to be fair, is very different. It becomes repetitious as Jack writes scenes from the first book; fine if you didn't read that book previously, but not great if you did. Maybe I'm just disappointed because it wasn't what I expected.

This book started out good but at 2/3 of the book the repetitive inner monologue made it slow going. I also lost a bit of respect for the heroine when she threw her tantrum.

Fun read about a architect and a writer who find themselves in a house together and have to learn to live together for a while.
