The Loving Jack series collects three Nora Roberts romances from 1989, each with a different setting and cast. Best Laid Plans is set in the construction world, Lawless takes readers to the Old West, and the title novel Loving Jack is a lighter story about a quirky writer who falls for her straitlaced neighbor. The variety of settings shows Roberts’ range even within a single year of her early career.
These are shorter, category-length romances typical of Roberts’ late-1980s output. They work well as quick reads, and each stands on its own despite being grouped as a series.
