Search - Natural Born Charmer (Chicago Stars, Bk 7)

I am noticing that I either love an SEP book, or am a little annoyed. This book, had me a little annoyed. I felt the h/h had almost ZERO chemistry, the things that each of them did would never happen in real life and it left me wanting to hurry up and finish the dang audio book and start another one. Even Kate Fleming/Anna Fields, the fabulous reader she is, couldn't make this one any better. In fact, if I would have read it, it may have ventured in the 2's. I felt Dean deserved a much better story and this was mediocre. It seems SEP has this formula to write a story, separation, some universal complication, a secondary romance, heroine quirky. Is it just me? I don't know. With her hits like Ain't She Sweet and Match Me If You Can, I can't shelf her. But some of her books, like this one, I'd like to.

I have gotten to where I do not write reviews very often- but this book was so much fun to read that I had to let people know. Just a really great read...enjoy!

I'm a longtime SEP fan, and have always enjoyed her special blend of romance and humor. That said, though, NATURAL BORN CHARMER is not, in my opinion, nearly as good as some of her former work.

With unrealistic situations (what woman would hitchhike with a stranger in this day and age, even if you knew, technically, who he was -- and then go off with him to his vacation home) that made me dislike the main character, I had to work to get into this story. Once involved, though, I did enjoy the plot, but not nearly as much as I have in the past.

This isn't a bad book, but it's by no means SEP's BEST work.

Great book. Love this series!

I always enjoy a good prison break story, so I was thrilled to find a romance about freeing yourself!
Follow an artist named Blue, as she learns to rely on her own unique talents, to escape from the family who let her down, and to take a chance on new people to build herself a new family.
But how can she rescue herself when she's hot for an outrageously rich football player who could save her with his pocket change?
Can she make her own way in the world and still get the guy? Or have their parents trained them both to run away?

How can you not love a main character named Blue Bailey! This book starts you out laughing and keeps you on the edge of your seat with the sexual tension and the sassy banter going back and forth. Excellent fun read!!
