Average Rating:
 Rating:  - I laughed out loud!This was my first SEP book. At the end of the first chapter I caught myself laughing out loud. I'm a fan of the contemporary sports romance. I think I've read all of them out there, but this book is still in my top 5. Highly recommend...don't go in thinking you're getting a Tolstoy or anything, just a fun light-hearted book and you'll enjoy it too! Rating: - All is fair in love and football . . . With a few SEP novels up my sleeve, I decided to start from the beginning. IT HAD TO BE YOU is the first book in the Chicago Star series and upon picking it up, (now knowing SEP like I feel I do) I knew I was in for a treat. Estranged from her family for a few years, Phoebe Somerville is the sexy, voluptuous, Marilyn-Monroe-esque daughter of Chicago Stars owner Bert Somerville. Upon her father's death, Phoebe learns that in his will, he has left her ownership of the football team - but ... Read More Rating:  - The flawed beginning of a great seriesPhillips' Chicago Stars series is very, very good, but it has some weak spots and there are several in this kickoff (as it were) book. Phoebe's character actuallly becomes far more interesting and believable than it is in this early effort, where she changes essential elements of herself far too quickly for credibility and there are too many "accessories", such as the poodle and the Hungarian lover mentioned in the first line, that seem forced and add clutter instead of enhancement. Dan Calebow, too, ... Read More Rating:  - The first book in the Chicago Stars seriesPhoebe Somerville is what most men would call a bombshell. She has a killer body, a husky Katherine Turner-esque voice, and the attitude and candor to back it all up. What Phoebe also has is a painful sexual past that she uses her hot body and quick wit to cover up. So when she attends her father's funeral, a man who owned the Chicago Stars football team and was ruthless in his desire to make her a lady, Phoebe comes dressed to the nines with her poodle and gay boyfriend in tow. The results are hilarious, ... Read More Rating: - get this book NOW!I have read LOTS of books by LOTS of Authors. However, I have to say I was in a horrible rut! All the stories where the same! Until I came across a SEP book at a thrift store. BREATHING ROOM was my first and it was so refreshing and different. I was in a state of shock. I thought it was not possible to love a book more then that one UNTIL I BOUGHT "IT HAD TO BE YOU" This was what I have been craving. SOMETHING DIFFERENT. I love that the H/H are flawed and GOD BLESS SEP for not insulting our intelligence ... Read More
