Excellent, quick read...romantic, interesting and a great continuation of the The Bachelor. It's another tale of another Chandler brother. I can't wait to read the next one.
Great book!!
A romantic romp. The sexual chemistry explodes. A warm romance with characters that are real and worth rooting for.
A fun read. This is the 2nd book of 3 novels written about the Chandler brothers -all eligible bachelors who weren't planning on settling down, but their mother is determined to get them all married off to give her grandchildren. The Bachelor & The Heartbreaker are the other two books written about the Chandler men.

From Publishers Weekly
In the first book of Phillips's trilogy (The Bachelor) about the irresistible marriage-resistant Chandler brothers of rural Yorkshire Falls, N.Y., footloose foreign correspondent Roman got hooked, thanks to the ingenious plotting of his matchmaking mama. This follow-up focuses on the middle brother, Rick, a loving but broken-hearted divorcee determined to resist both mom's marriage plots and those of his admirers-roughly every single woman in town. To do so, Rick employs a counterplot involving equally commitment-shy Kendall Sutton, whom the playboy policeman rescues from a car mishap as she's fleeing her own wedding. But will the independent twosome, feigning coupledom to remove themselves from the matchmaking game, foil themselves by genuinely falling for each other? Of course. In fact, there's little in the way of surprise or suspense herein. The characters express astonishment at certain plot turns, but readers won't, as all devious deeds are broadcast miles in advance. Still, the brothers' considerable charisma makes up for many sins of style and substance. Those who like their romances fast 'n' frothy may well find this lightweight tale an appealing afternoon's diversion.

Another fun romance from Carly Phillips. Can the footloose runaway bride find happiness in the arms of a hunky Chandler brother? Well, of course! ... But can she find anything a bit more permanent? That's a whole different question.
From back cover:
It takes a very special woman to catch a Chandler man... There isn't a woman in town who's immune to the legendary Chandler charm.

A past mistake has taught him never to put his heart on the line... until he answers the SOS of a real-life runaway bride.
In spite of her pearly gown and tiara, Kendall Sutton now vows to NEVER wed -- which makes her the ideal pretend lover who can ward off Rick's legion of admirers.

Can a woman who's had it with weddings tie the know with the town's most popular playboy?

The "Chandler Boys" series continues. If you enjoyed the bachelor, this one will be just as rewarding!

Great book by a great author (I just recently discovered)!
Excellent read. There isn't a woman in town who's immune to the legendary Chandle charm. Yet so far single cop Rick Chandle has managed to fend off the marriage-minded advanced of Yorkshire Fall's entire female population.
Another good read by a favorite author of mine. Cute and funny.
I really enjoyed the book about a confirmed bachelor having woman throw themselves at him. I'll be finding more Carly Phillips to read!
This is the second book in the Chandler series. Laugh out loud funny and a great love story.....
The 2nd book in a series (The Bachelor and The Heartbreaker) but doesn't have to be read in order. Kendall grows up shipped from home to home because her parents are too busy working overseas to care for their family. Consequently, she fears rejection and runs whenever she starts getting close to someone. Rick has been hurt by his ex-wife, who walked out on him to join the father of her baby. They both have to overcome their fear of relationships and learn to trust again.
This was a good read. Both Kendall and Rick seemed like fairly normal people and the chemistry between them was good.

The second in the Chandler Brothers series. A great read. I didn't want to put it down but now I can't wait to get to The Heartbreaker!
Part of the Chandler Brothers series, this is the story of Rick who meets a real life runaway bride, in gown and tiara--and falls in love. Phillips is always fun and sexy.
This is about the second Chandler brother--Rick. Another winner by Ms. Phillips!
final book in series. i really loved these characters. they are so likeable.
