Search - Heaven, Texas

This is a cute, light and fast read. Very typical of all Susan Elizabeth Phillips' books. I enjoy that she takes secondary characters from one book and makes them the main character in another. This book featured Bobby Tom Denton from It Had To Be You.

I definitely laughed out loud a few times-- but I also kept getting pulled out of the story because of Bobby Tom and his super-alpha alpha maleness. Like, sometimes an alpha male hero makes me roll my eyes, but the Bobby Tom character kind of pushed me into complete disdain. And Gracie Snow, as his foil, was almost too innocent, too naive, and too damn pushover-y.

I read the whole book, and overall I enjoyed it, but its not a keeper.

This is probably the lowest I have rated a book. This story didn't work for me. BT was hard to like and I had a hard time picturing Gracie as the heroine. The secondary romance was a little distracting. However, it was a cute story as a whole, It just didn't work for me, Especially the ending. This was my first SEP book and I hope the others are better. It did make me laugh a few times, the ice cream scene was hillarious. All in all, I wouldn't not reccommend it, but I wouldn't pay overnight shipping to get it. On to Laird of the Mist by Paula Quinn.

While I don't normally enjoy romance novels, this book was a thoroughly enjoyable before bed read. It gets a little frustrating toward the end, but, like all good books, has a happy ending.

I can not say enough about this book. It is hilarious for one thing. I mean laugh out loud funny. It is sweet and romantic and very different from so many romance novels I have read. This Author is quickly becoming my favorite. After reading this book, I DID, A FIRST FOR ME, I flipped it right back to page one and begun reading it again. This story was soo good and I felt so involved I was not ready to let them go..... PLEASE READ THIS ONE AND ENJOY!!!!!!!

i love this author! her books make me laugh and cry.

ANOTHER EXTRAORDINARY TALE FROM S.E.P. WITH HUMOR, ROMANCE & FUN!!

Part of a series about a football team and its owners and players. I enjoyed this because it was full of surprises and independent, strong women.

This was a good read for me. I could really feel for the main character Gracie snow. But in the end she got what she wanted by being true to herself.

Another in the football series. Bobby Tom is great!!! love this series.

The book I have has a different cover...same name, same author and the ISBN is correct.

Ex football player Bobby Tom Denton's athletic career is over, and his movie career is just starting too bad he isn't interested in starting it. Gracie Snow needs to get the playboy Bobby Tom to the movie set or lose her job. A good steamy romance with a Texas flair

[from the back cover] The Angel and the Hellraiser
Come heck or high water, prim Ohio wallflower, Gracie Snow is deterrmined to track down the legendary ex-jock Bobby Tom Denton and drag him back home to Heaven, Texas to begin shooting his first motion picture. Bobby Tom creates a Texas wildcat--can he tame her?

One of my favorite SEP books! Great romance.

Great read. LOL funny.

come heck or high water, gracie snow is determined to track down the legendary ex jock bobby tome denton and drag him back home to heaven, tx, to begin shooting his first motion picture. but taming an egotistical cowboy in a '57 t'bird might be more than this prim Ohio wallflower can handle.
despite his dazzling good looks and killer charm, bobby tom has reservations about being a movie star--and no plans to cooperate with the bossy little virgin whom he can't get off his mind or out of his life. instead, this hellraising playboy decides to make her life over from plain jane to texas wildcat

Another wonderful books from S E Phillips, part of the Somerville sisters series. Here we meet the ugly duckling, i.e., "nondescript" Gracie Snow and hunky Texan ex-jock Bobby Tom Denton. Lots of fun, great supporting characters.

Another sure-fire winner by Susan Elizabeth Phillips! I must say I had my doubts aobut this one - I didn't think there was any way I could get excited about a hero named "Bobby Tom" who wears a cowboy hat, but I shouldn't have worried. As always, SEP has managed to create a great story, unique characters, laugh-out-loud dialogue and sexy love scenes. Bobby Tom is a football star forced into retriement by a career-ending injury, and beneath lots of good ol' boy charm, he's not too happy about it. Not knowing what to do with his life, he agrees to star in a movie. The producers are justifiably concerned about this infamous playboy's reliability, so they hire a babysitter - the none too tempting Gracie Snow. The resulting relationship is just great.
SEP succeeds at doing a lot of things in this book that usually turn me off in a romance novel. First, I don't like unattractive heroines that either miraculously become beautiful, but Gracie's transformation into a cute, perky and kind of sexy leading character works. Second, as a former Texan I usually can't stand the loud, folksy stereotype that Bobby Tom initially appears to be. However, SEP managed to make it work without being silly and does a good job portraying smalltown Texas. I still refuse to picture Bobby Tom wearing a great big cowboy hat, but if it works for you... Third, there is a secondary romance between two older characters, and I usually find that distracts from the main plot. Here it's so well done and flows so seamlessly into the main storyline that I was glad to see it. There are few authors who never fail to deliver, and Susan Elizabeth Phillips certainly falls into that category!
