Product Description |
|
It wasn't every day a guy saw a headless beaver marching down the side of a road, not even in Chicago Stars quarterback Dean Robillard's larger-than-life world. He slammed on the brakes of his brand-new Aston Martin Vanquish and pulled over in front of her. The beaver marched right past, her big, flat tail bouncing in the gravel, and her small, sharp nose stuck up in the air. Way up. The beaver looked highly pissed . . . She was definitely a girl beaver because her beaver head was missing, revealing sweaty, dark hair pulled into a scraggly ponytail. He'd been praying for a little distraction from his own depressing company, so he threw open the door and stepped out onto the shoulder of the Colorado road . . . Funny, sexy, and touching—Natural Born Charmer is the unforgettable love story of a golden boy who might be losing his luster and a spirited woman who's learned never to depend on anyone but herself. |

Totally charmed |
|
This book had me from the first sentence. Susan Elizabeth Phillips always delivers a great read, but this one was off the charts. Probably my favorite "escape" book. |

Charmed from start to finish! |
If you haven't tried a Susan E. Phillips novel yet and want something funny and enjoyable with good writing and sharp dialogue then this is for you. I have to admit I loved this book from start to finish. I loved everything in it and can't wait to pick up another novel by SEP. I have read most of her books since 1999 but skipped Ain't She Sweet. I think I enjoyed this one the most. After reading other reviews I think I will have to search out her earlier books to see if they are truly better. The humor was great and I loved the blend of quirky characters in this book. (don't want to give anything away but I thin I even fell for Jack Patriot by the end!!). Aside from the romance between Dean and Blue that is spicey to say the least - If you like art, old home redo's, dancing and good music, nice clothes, puppies and small towns coming to life again you'll enjoy this one.

SEP hits the mark once again |
Like another reviewer, I'm a huge SEP fan and will buy her books without question the moment I see them on the shelves. As usual, with snappy dialogue, humor & insight she hits the mark with Blue & Dean. And it's nice to see a quirky, unusual heroine - something else SEP tends to specialize in. Not a drop-dead beauty that most of us cannot relate to.
I also liked the 2nd romance (SEP always has a secondary romance that seems to start at the mid-way point of the book) between April & Jack. The relationship between the fading rock star & the former groupie has some nice bittersweet ache to it, without being sloppy-sentimental. I know publishers would never invest in a relationship between two "mature" people with a past history as a stand-alone novel, so it's nice to read this strong secondary story mixed in with the story of the main couple. |

Borrrrrrrrrrrrrring! |
|
Too many characters with problems. Borrrrrrrrrrring! The dialog between the two main characters, Dean & Blue, was unrealistic, wisecracking all the time. Who really talks like that? I believe the best character in the story was Nita, the mean old woman yet a softy inside. Her friendship with Blue was most entertaining to read (therefore the one star rating). |

Very fun - light reading |
|
Funny and entertaining. I've read just about all of SEPs books and she never fails. Probably can't be called literature, by some, but great Chick Lit for the rest of us, who enjoy it. I listened to the audio version and it was exceptionally done! Great narrator! |
