Summary: I'm a Married Man and I Loved It
Review: Hard to believe I would like this book. I wanted a diversion and found this book as free book from a book club and said, why not, try it. On vacation with the kids I decided to read it (the first romance I ever read) and loved it. It was fun, pure escape. It's a better read than I thought and I will buy her other books. There's nothing wrong with some pure fun reading.

Summary: You laugh, you cry, you can't put it down......
Review: This was a great book. My first I had read by her and certainly not my last. The rapport between the hero and heroine was so witty and spunky, I just loved it! The only part that, slowed this novel down was the relationship between Cal's mom and Dad, but all in all, this is one of the best romance novels I have read.

Summary: Wonderful Novel
Review: This was the first book I have ever read by Susan Elizabeth Phillips, in fact the first contempary romance I've read, and would like to say that that I was extremely happy with the book. Jane is a great character, perfect but flawed, and Cal is great too. The part I loved the best invovles Lucky Charms, have no idea what I'm talking about, good then go and read this book. The only problem I had with the book was the romance between Cal's parents, the book turns from being happy and light hearted to depressing. But it is only a little thing. So do yourslef a huge favor and read this book, you will not be disappointed!

Summary: excellent
Review: This is the first book I read by SEP and I have been hooked on her ever since. This book was so funny and witty I can't count how many times I laughed out loud. Not only is this still my favorite SEP novel (and she has many more great reads), this is one of my all time favorite books period.The heroine is your typical science nerd, the hero your typical jock. Together they make the funniest, spunkiest couple I've read about in a long, long time. This is a must read!

Summary: Unusual lead and great writing style
Review: A friend recommended SEP's books to me and this was the first one I picked up. It really hooked me for several reasons...one was the very unusual female lead. Usually romances don't have genius scientists as heroines, and this one was drawn in a way I found very believable...and touching, that she didn't want to pass on the problems of her difficult childhood to her prospective baby. But also, SEP absolutely hooked me with the first chapter, which is one of the best uses of POV that I've ever seen. The reader meets the heroine through the point of view of, frankly, a bimbo who's a sports groupie...talk about opposites, but the way it was written gave a good deal of insight into the main character and was actually pretty sympathetic to the pov character. The rest of the book lived up to the promise of the first chapter ...it combined humor, conflict, and romance for a truly wonderful mix. I recommend this book highly.

Summary: Lucky Charms sabotage, an aging quarterback, and a physicist
Review: Only SEP is this original. This is my favorite in the 'Chicago Stars' series. I just love Cal. And Jane is the perfect woman for him to argue with! The story is VERY original. The book is full of wonderful characters, laugh-out-loud dialogue, and perfect lovers. It has SEP's trademark humor AND emotion. You will love it...it is absolutely her best work yet! (FYI: You'll be introduced to Kevin Tucker, the hero of SEP's February 2001 release. The heroine is Molly Sommerville from IT HAD TO BE YOU.)

Summary: KUDOS SEP
Review: I have been reading SEP since I picked up IT HAD TO BE YOU, needless to say, it is one of my all time favorite romance novels! Phoebe and Dan's story was hiliarious, sweet and sexy. Then, to my immense pleasure, NOBODYS BABY BUT MINE came out and again I'm having problems deciding between the two plots, because Jane and Cal are so funny and wild. I love the way SEP does not always write about impossible to believe heroines who always seem to be in their early twenties, but instead let's us read about real women with real issues who don't always have it together and are in their (horror! )thirties! Well, I just hope her next herione (in DREAM A LITTLE DREAM)is similar in age and attitude to Phoebe or Jane. If by chance s/one has already the book, let me know! Can't wait to read it. CIAO

Summary: Excellent! Great writing - Great reading!
Review: Like another reader, I read the sequel to this book first. It didn't matter, because as with all of SEP's books I thoroughly enjoyed it. Apart from the clever plot and interesting characters, SEP included some keen insights into male/female relationships that were alternately maddening and hilarious. The characters were so interesting and endearing (especially Annie) that I hated for the book to end. It was also fun to read about the current status of characters introduced in earlier books (Bobby Tom Denton, Phoebe Calebow, et al). As another reader noted, I'd like to see a follow up book with Kevin Tucker as the main character.

Summary: Loved this book!
Review: Picked this up at the library, never having read this author, I wasn't sure how well a read it would be, but liked the concept. Read it in one day, staying up until 2:30a.m.!Can't wait to read about Gabe, and hopefully Ethan(?) and maybe Kevin(?)I laughed, cried, and laughed some more and really got a bang out of Annie and her gun! Great 2nd plot with Jim and Amber Lynn's relationship, fantastic ending. I have found another author to look forward too. Thanks SEP!

Summary: One of the funniest books I have read!!
Review: Seriously! I read it for the second time, flying home on an airplane. You can imagine the looks people kept giving me as I was giggling outloud!! The characters were great! I felt like I really got to know them and I cared if there was a happily ever after. I haven't been a huge fan of contemporaries, but SEP has changed my reading habits. This is an author that knows what romance readers want and she gives it to them. Thanks!!
