It Had to Be You

I don't read a whole lot of contemporary and I'm not a sports fan at ALL, but I absolutely loved this story!!! I'm definitely reading the entire series now. I've already ordered about half of SEP's backlist, lol!

This book was at times funny and sexy, and at other times gut-wrenching and emotional. I adored Phoebe. She is a perfect example of why you shouldn't judge a book (or a person) by its cover. You never know what may be hidden beneath the showy, in-your-face exterior. Phoebe was gutsy and strong, real and beautiful.

As for Dan...Dan was hot. :D A big, brawny manly man with hair on his chest. Yum. Together they are explosive. He doesn't take too kindly to this woman who knows nothing about football coming in and taking over, but their fights usually ended up with their hands and/or lips all over each other. Their chemistry is off the charts!

This book won a RITA award for best romance in 1995, and it's currently only 1.99 on Amazon. Hurry and snatch this one up! http://amzn.to/1WjDMI1

The first series on the Chicago Stars as well as the first one of the Sommervilles girls. Now I've been waiting to read this one for a long time and once I start, I can't stop. This is where the Chicago Stars really started. This is where Phoebe Sommerville and Dan Calebow met. I know zilch about American Football but I do know that I love the Chicago Stars. I love the way they rise to success, how Phoebe and Dan make it possible for the Stars to shine. Most of all, I love Phoebe and Dan. Yes, they are not real, but who cares??

This was an awful book. Her father was a womanizing jerk who treated her like dirt. She's raped at 18 and of course her creep sleazebag father doesn't believe her. Then there's the so called hero of the story who goes home with a teenage girl. I have no idea idea if they had sex or not, I stopped listening to the audio at that point. I have no idea why it's gotten such high reviews.
