Book Description:
Chicago Stars quarterback Dean Robillard is the luckiest man in the world. But life in the glory lane has started to pale, and Dean has set off on a trip to figure out what's gone wrong. When he hits a lonely stretch of Colorado highway, he spies something that will shake up his gilded life in ways he can't imagine. A young woman . . . dressed in a beaver suit.
Blue Bailey is on a mission. As for the beaver suit she's wearing . . . Is it her fault that life keeps throwing her curve balls? Witness the expensive black sports car pulling up next to her on the highway and the Greek god stepping out of it.
They're soon heading for his summer home, where their already complicated lives and inconvenient attraction to each other will become entangled with a charismatic but aging rock star; a beautiful, fifty-two-year-old woman trying to make peace with her rock and roll past; an eleven-year-old who desperately needs a family; and a bitter old woman who hates them all.
Natural Born Charmer . . . for anyone who's ever thought about leaving their old life in the dust.

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!

All of the Chicago Stars series books are great, but this one was one of my favorites. Susan Elizabeth Phillips has got to be a natural born charmer her own self! She is so funny and romantic. If you haven't read her other Stars books I would recommend starting from the beginning, but it's not necessary - just more fun that way. If you have read the others, then you won't be disappointed.

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.

I've read all of the Chicago Stars books. This is probably one of my favorites. I just loved Blue, she was such a great character and all the back story on Dean's family was very touching.

Doaty F. (Fantastic! Not normally my kind of read, but a friend said I would like it and I really did. Funny, witty, but not silly or childish. Not your normal romance novel. Smart and charming with real chracters. Good story and great writing!
Natural Born Charmer is a great book. It's a fast read and the characters are adorable. I recommend spending time with Dean and the crew. IT's a great escape and perfect for the beach or the by the fire.
Loved the whole Chicago Stars Series. I didn't like the main character's personality in the earlier book but came to love him in this one.
One of the best books I've read in a long time. I started it one evening and couldn't go to sleep until I knew how it ended.
I just loved this book, kinda weird why it is the same ISBN but my cover is different? Anyway, I loved Blue & Dean and his crazy family. This book made me scream, laugh & cry. I loved it!
