Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good book!!
Review: This is the first in a series of three books. The Bachelor is a very entertaining and fun read. I loved the way the relationship between Roman and Charlotte played out. A love story with twists and turns (and a few steamy parts!). I am looking forward to reading the other books in this series(The Playboy and The Heartbreaker).

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Happily Ever After
Review: The second book in Carly's series is an easy and quick read. Just enough fun, sex and romance! I enjoy the happily ever after ending.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good Fun Reading!
Review: In Carly Phillips book, "The Bachelor," we are introduced to the Chandler brothers. There is Chase Chandler who gave up his dreams to run the small town newspaper when his father died. Then there is Rick, the middle brother, who was previously scorned in love and is a confirmed bachelor. Lastly, Roman is the baby who comes home from his foreign correspondent job when their mother takes ill. Little do they know that Raina plays on their sympathies by letting them believe her condition is much worse than it really is. Her fondest wish is to see her boys settled and have grandkids. The sons have a terrific idea to determine who will be the "lucky" person to fulfill Raina's dream. Roman loses or wins (depending on your point of view).

While back in the town that hasn't changed since he left, Roman starts to scout out potential wives. That's the think about small towns...not much selection. The one person he won't consider is Charlotte Bronson for the role. She was the only one who rejected him in high school. He is still confused by her actions because they had chemistry. Charlotte's father had dreams of making it in Hollywood and left the family behind to pursue his dreams. He came back after long absences only to leave again. Roman's plan is to find a wife that won't mind him traveling to far off places and then cruise back into town to be a father and husband when it's convenient. Knowing Charlotte's past, he refuses to hurt her. The trouble is when they catch up with each other, there is that same pull.

A subplot is there are burglaries going on in town and Charlotte's store is the common denominator. Rick asks Roman to help him track down the thief. The characters involved are colorful and quirky. Since this is the first book in the series, you want to meet the townspeople so you know who they are for the next novels.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It delved into the emotions of relationships in a real way. It was not overly serious but I would not call it a romantic comedy. It is similar to "Ally McBeal," in that it falls somewhere in the middle. I can't wait to start the next book in the series, "The Playboy" tonight.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Gitty!!!!
Review: I absolutley love books like this! Even though I knew how it would end up, I fell in love with the storyline, the characters, and the town of Yorkshire Falls. Not to mention the picture of the Chandler brothers I had in my mind based on their description....WOW! I can't wait to read the next two Chandler books!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: 1 down two to go
Review: This book's cover jumped out at me and I had to start reading it as soon as I got home. This book is the first of three, each about a different Chandler man. Raina, their mother, wants nothing more than her boys to be happy and in love just as she was with her husband. Well, she wants them happy AND she wants grandchildren! She develops a plot to hopefully get her boys on the move. The three Chandler men literally flip a coin to decide who's going to settle down and start the baby-making.

Roman is the "loser," as he says, of the coin toss. He soon discovers that the only girl that ever really got his attention has moved back into town. Charlotte becomes his target, but because Roman is a world-wide traveler she wants to keep her distance. Her father was just like Roman, and she doesn't want to end up like her mother. Roman and Charlotte are two great characters! I found myself not being able to put this book down, I read it all in one day!
