Summary: I COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN!!
Review: Dr. Jane Darlington, a lonely genius physicist, want to have a baby. But because of the hurtful childhood she had due to her intelligence, she seeks to become impregnated by a stupid man, hoping to balance the brain scale. She sets her sight on legendary quarterback, Cal Bonner. She pretends to be a whore in order to bed the "dumb jock". After two nights, she becomes pregnant. But soon her smooth plan goes haywire when Cal finds out what she's done. Unfortunately for Jane, Cal is not the dumb jock she thought him to be. He is a highly intelligent man who uses his keen intelligence coldly and calculatedly against anyone who crosses him. He forces her to marry him only for a temporary basis until their child is born. Well, sparks practically explode when the two are under the same roof. But though they fight against it, they soon fall madly in love. We also meet Cal's parents, who are also having marital problems. We meet the youngest Bonner, Ethan, a gorgeous minister and their blunt but loving grandmother. Fortunately for us, Jane and Cal, after a funny showdown, finally admit their love. They decide that they cannot live without the other. Cal's parents, particularly his father, confront old demons and win, allowing their love to blossom once again. NOBODY'S BABY BUT MINE is a fabulous book that will make you laugh, cry, yell and cheer. I recommend it and it's sequel DREAM A LITTLE DREAM, the story of the elusive middle Bonner brother, Gabriel. You'll love them both. Trust me!

Summary: A Five Star Winner all the way!
Review: A wonderful novel that kept me up all night to finish! The characters show remarkable intelligence and a humaness that many romance novelists don't infuse their key figures with. The urges to have a baby is a well known and documented fact, and to have it so amazingly combined in a story of opposites attracting, yet also aiding those around them into healing their own hurts is perfect. You've found a faithful reader in me!

Summary: She is an excellet writer. I will read everything of hers!
Review: I loved this book. this was the first one I ever read by Miss Phillips.It kept bringing me back for more and more even when i was done with it. I could read it over and over again,it has such humor and such complete characters. I LOVED IT!!!

Rating:
Summary: Excellent story ! A must read!!
Review: This book was fast paced and I could not put it down. I have yet to read a Susan Elizabeth Phillip's book that was not totally exceptional. Her story lines are oringinal and have twists you never see coming. Read it- it's great!!!

Summary: not bad, but not great either
Review: I found the storyline of this book hard to believe. I mean, a physicist and a football player?? She tricks him into sleeping with her, getting her pregnant and then he marries her?? I had a hard time pushing myself to read this book. The last 50 pages were the best part of the book, though. However, I still never felt any chemistry between these two. I think the story of Cal's parents would have been much more interesting. In fact, Cal's family was much more interesting then the main characters themselves. Like I said, not bad, but not great either!!

Summary: If you only read one romance ever, choose this one.
Review: This is the first SEP that I ever read, and I checked it out (I am almost ashamed to say) because of the title. Summarized: Extremely intellegent woman wants average-intellect baby, so she uses a football player for stud. Football player discovers the plot and is righteously angry -- demands marriage. Women unite against men and babies bring peace. I didn't want to give away tooo much.

Rating:
Summary: Definitely NOT 5 stars
Review: I cannot believe how loosely people use the 5 stars. This book was okay but nothing to write home about. The story is NOTHING deep -- but that seems to be the way people like them nowadays. Some nice scenes but it is SO tiresome to read about a hero who is "damned mad" all the time. Isn't that just plain childish?? Someone who can't control their temper? Give me a REAL hero any day! And not one who is threatening to "Tear you apart limb from limb" Actual quotes.Oh Brother.

Summary: Wonderful and entertaining
Review: I loved this book. The story-line was fast-paced and the characters, Cal and Jane, were funny, interesting and endearing. Definitely an all-nighter! I will definitely add SEP to my list of favorite authors...

Summary: Absorbing and hilarious
Review: This is my favorite of Ms. Phillips' books. I have read it many times and laugh every time. Her two protagonists are extremely likeable, and she has created interactions between them that are both comical and touching. The dialogue is witty and the love scenes erotic without being overdone. Most of her other books are enjoyable but lack the comic edge of this book. I hope to see future novels with a similar combination of charm and wit.
