Loading... Heaven, Texasby Susan Elizabeth Phillips
   None No current Talk conversations about this book.   ) aeryn0 | Jul 23, 2023 |  4 Stars Sexy as sin and as affable as they come, former football star has never met a woman he couldn't charm the literal pants off. So when prim and proper Gracie Snow is sent by a production company to ensure he arrives on set for filming, Bobby Tom is convinced he can shake her off. Little does he know that this plain Jane is about to teach him more about love than he could possibly imagine. It would seem that Susan Elizabeth Phillips' heroes fit into the same mould of alpha jerk as Kristen Ashley's. Bobby Tom's ego is so humungous it is amazing he doesn't trip over it when he walks. Consequently, it is very entertaining to see him brought to his knees by a sweet heroine who doesn't have a clue about her own appeal. The secondary romance between Bobby Tom's mother and the boy from the wrong side of the tracks (all grown up) is just as sizzling and satisfying as Bobby Tom's and Gracie. Both couples have wonderful chemistry and heat up the pages together. All in all, a lovely read and I will definitely be continuing with my binge of this author's backlist. ( ) Lauren2013 | May 5, 2023 |  ) Luziadovalongo | Jul 14, 2022 | ZERO stars Book # 2 in the Chicago Stars romance series. From the book jacketIt’s Gracie Snow’s job as a new motion picture production assistant to get the legendary ex-football player, Bobby Tom Denton, back to his Texas hometown to begin shooting his first movie. Good luck with that. A head-spinning battle of the sexes – with Beauty waging war against Brains – except this male beauty has a fine intelligence, and brainy Gracie isn’t nearly as ordinary as she thinks. My reactions: No. Just No. A “gentleman” does NOT play mind games for his own amusement to trick a virgin into succumbing to him so that he can then drop her like a hot potato when the fun is over. (Even if eventually, he will fall in love with her and propose, his intention from the outset is to just use her.) Past hurt does not give a man a free get-out-jail card to blackmail a woman into having sex (of course, he has secretly admired her for decades and would never “really” hurt her). There is nothing remotely romantic or appealing about these scenarios. Shame on Phillips for propagating such a misogynistic message. Anna Fields does a reasonably good job of narrating the audiobook. She handles the many characters with skill and kept up a good pace. Too bad she had such dreadful material to perform.

Come heck or high water, Gracie Snow is determined to drag the legendary ex-jock Bobby Tom Denton back home to Heaven, Texas, to begin shooting his first motion picture. Despite his dazzling good looks and killer charm, Bobby Tom has reservations about being a movie star - and no plans to cooperate with a prim and bossy Ohio wallflower whom he can't get off his mind or out of his life. Instead, the hell-raising playboy decides to make her over from plain Jane to Texas wildcat. But nothing's more dangerous than a wildcat with an angel's heart in a town too small for a bad boy to hide. And all hell breaks loose when two unforgettable people discover love, laughter, passion - and a match that can only be made in Heaven. No library descriptions found. |
