Product Description
She was the sexiest thing in a hard hat that architect Cody Johnson had ever seen, but structural engineer Abra Wilson also had a will as strong as a steel girder - and just about as flexible. But Cody had plans for Abra that not even this spirited beauty could resist...

 A cute classic from a much-loved author June 24, 2007

This book had an interesting setting: construction of a luxury hotel in the middle of the desert. The architect and the chief engineer were at odds through most of the story, and I liked how they slowly came to appreciate the other. The second half had an exciting injection of action/adventure to balance the relationship aspect and the artistic details of the setting.
Just an OK Book May 10, 2005
BEST LAID PLANS is the sequel to Loving Jack, an ok story, but not one of Nora Roberts' best.
Abra Wilson was not impressed with Cody's building design, in fact she thought it was impractical. Cody Johnson thought Abra had style, but was very distracting for an engineer. Sparks ignited in the desert building site, and then passion soon followed. But was it enough to stop someone from trying to destroy their first project together? Would they be able to find out who it is before any more damage is done?
This is a decent book, but not one of Roberts' finest. BEST LAID PLANS is a feel good romance, with few twists and is very predictable. Boy meets girl, they fall in love, struggle with that love, then live happily-ever-after. However, since this is a book by Nora Roberts, it's definitely worth reading!!
 What a great story! December 28, 2003
I think I liked "Best Laid Plans" as much as "Loving Jack." And seeing as they came as a set in "Love By Design"..it was the perfect book to cozy up with. Abra is a headstrong woman who won't bend for any man...until she meets Cody Johnson. Two thumbs up for Nora!!!!
Enjoyable Sequel To "Loving Jack" March 5, 2002

Structural engineer Abra Wilson meets architect Cody Johnson and disagrees with his plans for the new resort they are both employed to build. They fall in love and learn respect for each other's abilities. The characters from "Loving Jack" pay a visit and it is fun to see them again. There is an exciting subplot about unscrupulous bosses and substandard building materials.
Excerpt from the back of the book:
"When Cody Johnson first caught sight of structural engineer Abra Wilson, he thought of endless possibilities. She had style and confidence-and was distracting as hell. She'd called his design an impractical piece of fancy, but then he'd always preferred frankness to subtleties.
Abra had met men like Cody before. They usually thought they could smile their way out of trouble, and this overconfident East Coast architect was no exception. She'd told him to back off, but he wasn't listening.
Friction was inevitable, but when sparks turned to flames of passion, could either of them take the heat?"
