Try A Natural Born Charmer

Categories: Romance , Staff Picks

I first discovered Susan Elizabeth Phillips when I read her book It Had To Be You back in 1996.  I loved her wit and humor and her easy storytelling style.  Still do.  She's one of a few authors that I'll automatically read without having to know what the book's about.

When her newest book, Natural Born Charmer, was published this month I happily snapped it up and read it in one weekend.  It's the story of Chicago Stars quarterback Dean Robillard and vagabond Blue Bailey.  When Dean picks Blue up after he spots her walking down the highway in a beaver suit (trust me there's a good reason for that!) their adventure is only begining.  Throw in Dean and Blue's mommy issues, Dean's younger sister and one cranky old woman who owns the town and what you have is ultimately a story of what it means to be a family and accepting the one that you have.
