Susan Elizabeth Phillips
Susan E. Phillips is best known for her Chicago Stars books, 7 stories that follow Stars football players. The books can be read in any order although the correct order can be found on Phillips's website.
Phillips's books are contemporary romances but what sets them apart from others is the humor. Her stories are rife with wit, sarcasm, and verbal jousting that will have you laughing out loud while you read.
The first book of Phillips that I read was Match Me If You Can which is the sixth book in the Stars series. I fell in love with the style of storytelling and looked up her other books. MMIYC was a definite favorite along with Ain't She Sweet?. Her main characters are enjoyable without being too perfect, you can identify with, admire, or just plain enjoy them. The main girl is usually independent and strongly opinionated and won't take crap from the guys.
Match Me If You Can
The story follows Annabelle Granger, a spunky redhead trying to keep her late grandmother's matchmaking business afloat. Annabelle manages to snag Heath Champion as a client. Heath is a ruthless sports agent, infamous for his razor sharp instincts, cunning, and nicknamed 'The Python'.
Annabelle is also competing against Portia Powers, the founder and head of Power Matches, who is also trying to find the perfect wife for millionaire Heath.
Heath doesn't believe Annabelle will succeed; she's disorganized, bouncy, and altogether a mess. But together they will find out that maybe Heath's definition of a 'perfect wife' is not what he thought it was...
Ain't She Sweet?
Sugar Beth Carey was once the most well-known girl in the small town of Parrish, Mississippi. The daughter of the town's wealthiest man Sugar Beth was haughty, arrogant, and downright mean to her enemy, Winnie Davis. But Sugar Beth's reign comes to an end when she falsely accuses Colin Byrne, a young teacher from England, of sexual harassment as a form of revenge against him. Colin is sent back to England in disgrace and when the town finds out Sugar Beth lied, she also leaves town in disgrace.
Fast forward more then ten years. Sugar Beth is broke and desperate. She returns to Parrish to look for a valuable family painting to sell. What she finds when she returns home is a crowd of enemies waiting to knock her down, Colin living in her former family mansion, and no sign of the painting she desperately needs.
Will Sugar Beth be able to make up to old friends and apologize to bitter enemies? Her home life is probed during her stay and it's found that her glamorous life wasn't so perfect.
Susan Elizabeth Phillips is a wonderful read. Her books are carried forward by a sense of humor, a love of romance, and a desire for happy endings. Her books can be found at any library or bookstore.
