This book was a bit of a disappointment for me and I took ages to finish it. I didn't much like the main character Meg Koranda - a bit too whiney. Francesca and Lady Emma from previous books in the series also turned up but had rather nasty personalities, totally different to before. It was a sh...
3 stars for the story + 1 simply for the ending (had me SOW)I picked this book just to kill time....and in the chapters after the failed wedding I was just doing that. For me, the story picked up way much later, when supporting characters of Wynette and their situation came in light.Characters: M...
Post American Civil War romance with sex. Originally published as "Risen Glory". This is a reread for me, but I've only read it one other time. I don't know. There's something I just don't like about a post Civil War romance. The heroine is always the Southern Belle. The hero is always the despis...
I listened to Fancy Pants as an unabridged audio. I didn't take notes so what follows next is what remains rattling around in my head.I've always enjoy Susan Elizabeth Phillips work. She usually creates fun characters and has a knack for snappy dialogue that hooks me right away. Fancy Pants is on...
I loved this book...except for the moments I hated it.This review is for the audiobook version. The narrator did a fantastic job on everything except for the hero's voice. It was awful. It sounded like some eighty year old British guy...no exaggeration. It was terrible So unsexy that it reall...
I’ve only recently come upon this author and this is only my second book by her but I truly enjoy her writing. Susan Elizabeth Philips creates story lines and characters that are humorous, unique, sexy and so much fun to read.Lady Be Good is the second book in the Wynette, Texas series. I’ve rea...
By Suzan Elizabeth Phillips. Grade BI started reading this book when I was tired of reading the same old boring story with the same plot where the girl and boy have straight uncomplicated sex. But the girl falls in love with the boy during this. But the boy does not want to get involved in a rela...
I loved this book.There are TWO VERSIONS of this book. Glitter Baby was first published in 1987. The version I read was published in 2009 and includes changes made by the author.STORY BRIEF:Fleur is the most beautiful woman in the world. Her parents are among the worst. Fleur reluctantly beco...
I just have no words to describe how much I loved this book. It was amazing! Maybe I was just in the right mood for this kind of read or maybe it really is a terrific read. I just know that apart from LK's Travises series, I had never, ever enjoyed a contemporary romance as much as I did this one...
I have to start with this: WTF??? Headless beaver? Seriously?? I was on the floor laughing because of this. I didn’t read the summary (as my bad–and-not-so-bad habit dictates) so the surprise was awesome! I knew I’d fall in love with this book, and I did. It was insanely good.It’s been a while si...
Another great read. Dr Jane Darlington wants a baby but decides that she wants the father to be attractive, athletic but not particularly intelligent on the basis that the child would grow up with a happy mix from both parents. Cal Bonner is the 36 yr old star quarterback with the Chicago stars, ...
What a whiplash-inducing experience :) If you'd asked me to rate the first third of this book, I would have gushingly informed you that five stars just didn't feel sufficient to capture how much I loved it. I fell immediately and deeply in love with the writing style. I couldn't get over the beau...
Kiss an Angel was my first Susan Elizabeth Phillips book and it may be my last. I am usually pretty easy to please when it comes to what I choose to read. I don’t often dislike books that I read. Further, I really hate it when a book rubs me the wrong way. Alas, that is what happened with this...
Warning! This review will contain spoilers for the book, because it's impossible for me to convey all my vitriol without going into plot specifics. Molly Sommerville (who we first met as a frankly horrid teenager in It Had to Be You) is now all grown up and making a living as a children's book au...
I've been rereading SEP's books this past month and falling back in love with her novels, as well as catching up on some new ones which I enjoyed immensely.However, "Heaven, Texas" is NOT one of those books. The romance starts off distastefully with Bobby Tom Denton living the life of a rich, sha...
5 STARSAnother stunner from Susan Elizabeth Phillips! I can’t seem to get enough of these books. Match Me if You Can is Book 5 in the Chicago Stars series, and it features Kevin Tucker’s sports agent... Heath Champion, who has enlisted the aid of a matchmaking firm to find him the perfect wife…...
I’ll never forget it. I’ve gone to the cottage to stay with Bree for a while and try to get a fresh perspective. I’m glad you told me about your brother.L.What the hell? Not even a Dear Panda or a Yours sincerely? The message it delivered was loud and clear. She wanted him to leave her alone. Whi...
he’d known that last night. “You don’t have to worry,” she said. “I may be naive about some things, but I understand about last night.” He frowned as he tried to switch mental gears. His big story had just gotten bigger with the revelation that she ...
I already have two children, and I don't need another." She didn't let him see by so much as a flicker of an eyelash how humiliated she felt. Instead, she let her words drip with condescension. "You're married. How unfortunate." "Why? I can't imagine what possible difference that could make to yo...
"I don't know a damned thing about kids." "You've got two of them. You must know something." "Their mother has raised them. All I do is write the checks." "And that's the way you like to keep it, isn't it? Just writing the checks." The words had slipped out of their own volition, and she wanted t...
Go out on Naomi’s boat? She groaned and buried her face in her hands. What had she been thinking? She hadn’t been thinking! That was the problem. She couldn’t go out on the water with Naomi. What part of her brain had failed to register that? Once the Ladyslipper left the harbor, Annie would be o...
“I told him he couldn’t come in.”Lance looked as bad as someone so buff could possibly look. He was apparently growing both a beard and long hair for his next action film because he had an inch of unkempt black scrub sprouting from his jaw, and his dark hair hung unevenly around his square face, ...
