Summary: The Second Brother's Story
Review: This 2nd book is about Rick and Kendall... Cop Rick is fed-up with his mother's attempts to find him a bride. Rick meets Kendall when she has car troubles as she gets to town to sell her aunt's house. Kendall is a knock-out in a wedding dress- she left her groom at the altar. She doesn't want anything to tie her down. Rick and Kendall make a pact to help each other out while she's in town. But her little trip isn't as cut-and-dry as she hoped. Since Kendall has moved around a lot her entire life she finds it very hard to want to stay. Rick has problems of his own too! He married a friend since her boyfriend wouldn't owe up to getting her pregnant, when the boyfriend returned and his wife left him- he was crushed and hasn't truely trusted another woman since. The two end up falling for each other, but will they be able to get beyond their pasts to be happy? You'll just have to read and find out!

Oh, and even if you haven't read the 1st in the series (The Bachelor), Carly Phillips updates you on everything you'd need to know! But I'd still recommend reading The Bachelor! I can't decide which I liked better The Bachelor or The Playboy... I love both stories! I can't wait for the 3rd in the series, out in August 2004- The Heartbreaker!

Summary: great summer time reading
Review: This is Book 2 in Carly Phillips' triology about the 3 chandler brothers- they are determined to resist the matchmaking attempts of their mother.

Even though this book is the middle in ther series, i was able to read it without having read its predecessor "the bachelor". It stands alone but does introduce the other two brothers and make you want to read their stories too.

The Playboy is about the middle brother Rick- a cop who thinks he can avoid marriage now that his younger brother has gotten married. He meets Kendall- a young commitment phobic woman who is fleeing her own wedding. Both are independent and fighting their feelings but of course end up together.

This book is great summer reading- lightweight and fun and makes you eager to read the whole trilogy
