I listened to this one this time and I have to say the narrator was pretty fantastic. Some how she made me love Dean and Blue’s story just a little bit more. I think what made this story so special was the additional love story we get with April and Jack. I’ve been missing SEP’s writing and this one did the trick. 💕❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️Wow, what a ride that was. I started the Chicago Star’s Series just a little over a month ago and I LOVED every single one of them. But I do have a favorite. Dre...
Driving along the highway to visit his new farm in Tennessee, pro quarterback Dean Robillard spots a woman in a beaver costume walking along the side of the road and offers her a ride ... and of course true love follows. But the road to love is never smooth, and traveling over those bumps and detours was great fun with this book. Dean and Blue both have big-time family issues, plus the town where his farm is located is owned by one very cranky old lady, so the romance story also features a great...
I'll be honest. I didn't finish this book. I got about 3/4 of the way through and had to quit. I thought the story premise was terrific but the author seemed to suffer quite a bit from the "lets see how many crazy/quirky characters we can stuff in one book" syndrome. There were too many extreme characters, too many plot lines happening and the heroine was just plain odd. Not a normal person in the bunch. Reading it was like playing a game of what if. What if you took a famous football player, gi...
Honest to God, I went in expecting to be charmed by Dean and Dean only, but I fell head over heels for Blue, beaver suit and all. Her wise assery has no match. SEP has written one hell of a heroine! Every time Dean and Blue got into an argument, I was laughing my heart out. Dean and Blue's first meeting, the charming town run by nobody's bitch Ms. Nita, Dean's backstory, his adorable half sister Riley and his parents' budding romance, pretty much everything about this book was so freaking entert...
Could a book makes you deliriously happy? I mean, really. But then, this book did it for me. I grin like a fool after reading this book. I feel deliriously happy it was ridiculous. After all, it is just a book. Not just any book , though. It's the latest one from the Chicago Stars series. And I love every single second of it! I really do. It makes me sigh with longing to have what Blue and Dean have with each other. Pathetic, I know. But the book done that to me. Better than fairy tale.
Natural Born Charmer is book seven in the Chicago Stars series by Susan Elizabeth Phillips. This is my third book by SEP. All three were of this series but were not in any sequence. So, yes, you can definitely read this as a complete stand alone.Before I started typing this review, I re-read the blurb and really, that says about all there is to say about this book. If I had to choose just one word to describe this, I would say, magical. This book is purely magical. I was engaged on the very firs...
3,5 "Charm Me" Stars Dean Robillard and Blue Bailey couldn't be more different, but destiny has devised a Colorado road and a beaver costume to have their path cross. NFL hunky golden boy meets quirky bohemian girl and from there on it's all a fun romantic romp taking them eastward to a Tennessee farm where a bit of family drama and a lot of sizzling chemistry will bring them together, while Dean's glamorous lifestyle and Blue's restlessness will try to keep them apart.Engaging writing and sp
5 Charming Stars! Wasn't so sure if I would like Dean...and I didn't...I LOVED HIM!!A Gypsy Caravan... A Flashlight... and Dean Robillard...SWOON! Equals sexy good times...wow that was HOT!I got more than I bargained for with this book, it was way more than just a contemporary romance. This book was about family, mending relationships, and building new ones. The witty banter had me snickering, especially the verbal smack-downs between Blue and Nita...hysterical. Finally, however,
Tennessee Farm★★★★★ (This is a review of the audiobook.) Man-oh-man! I love this book. I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve read it. It is on my “re-read-for-comfort” shelf, which I desperately needed now. My life is currently too crazy to sit and read, so I popped in my ear buds and tried the audiobook this time, narrated by the wonderful Anna Fields. I have heard nothing but great things about this reader, so I don’t know why I waited so long to listen to a story she narrates. If a char...
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 since I laughed so much from reading a book. My mum was giving me awkward faces because of the stupid grin I had. Sooooo many funny moments! If I’d have to pick my favorite quotes from this book I’d just c...

This series is just getting better and better to me! I love each of the stories that I've listened to so far, but I really loved this one. It was by chance that I was able to get this audiobook right away and I listened to almost all of it in one day. After just having listened to Match Me If You Can, I was excited to get Dean's story.Each book is about a different couple and can be read as a standalone. This is Dean and Blue's story, but what I loved it that is it wasn't just about them. This w...
Re-read, great as always!Just a balm for my soul! Thank you, SEP!October 20184 stars... Too much SCs stories ... I skipped a lotToo shitty parents of both MCs, thank god they didn't grow up and became awful people... Some people don't deserve to be a parent!!!!
"It wasn’t every day a guy saw a headless beaver marching down the side of a road, not even in Dean Robillard’s larger-than-life world. “Son of a…” Dean slammed on the brakes of his brand-new Aston Martin Vanquish and pulled over in front of her."That's where Dean Robillard meets Blue Bailey. In a headless beaver costume walking down a deserted highway and his life was forever changed when he offered her a ride....for better or for worse he's still not quite sure.You see Dean's a pretty boy, he'...

I checked my kindle account to see when I first read this series. It was back in 2011. Devoured them at the time. It was probably prior to joining Goodreads so never did a review. I recently re-read the series. Well, I skipped Heaven, Texas - not sure why. But all the others have been solid 5 stars for me. I was a bit hesitant to re-read this one. I had originally five-starred it. But Dean appears in Match Me If You Can and I really wasn't a fan. He was a jock, wore diamond earrings, was cocky.
5 STARSHere we are at book 7 of the Chicago Stars and we’re still flying high! These books are just so good. They’re like sex on the beach or oodles of chocolate, or champagne and strawberries. I don’t care how many she writes… I’m sure I’ll read and love them all! But my reviews unfortunately are starting to sound like a broken record. So I’ll try to keep it short and sweet. This one features the Stars’ latest Quarterback superstar, Dean Robillard, the NFL’s current golden boy. And honestly… a
4.5 stars!Including this book, I have only read two books by this author (the other is Dream a Little Dream) - and I have loved both! This may be a new favorite contemporary romance author for me. This book is so full of emotions, complex characters, relationships (both family, friends, and romantic), funny/witty/sarcastic dialogue - it really has it all! I'm adding this book to my favorites shelf. Highly recommended. Also, this is a really good audiobook.
