No. The answer is No.

December 29, 2018 by alphabootoo Leave a Comment

I recently moved to the South and since I was in need of some light reading I decided a romance with some southern flair would help with the transition. I found a discussion group that mentioned Ain’t She Sweet by Susan Elizabeth Phillips and it had a lot of really good reviews so I hopped onto Amazon to purchase the whole book. I have regrets… Overall the book is…okay? I just didn’t much like the main characters. Sugar Beth Carey was the princess of the […]

Stealing sperm is not ok!

January 28, 2017 by BookNinja 9 Comments

Apologies in advance if I am insulting someone’s favourite SEP! Susan Elizabeth Phillips had been recommended to me as someone to read if you loved Jennifer Crusie, and I really love Crusie. (I keep rereading Bet Me, which I should go back and upgrade to a five on my previous reviews. And Manhunting. All the Crusies get reread about every six months. Anyway!)

I was warned

January 11, 2017 by emmalita 6 Comments

I was warned that this was a middling romance. Susan Elizabeth Phillips’ does some pretty great character’s and character relationships, but sometimes the situations she puts them in are ridiculous and cringe worthy. From Amazon: Piper Dove is a woman with a dream—to become the best detective in the city of Chicago. First job? Trail former Chicago Stars quarterback, Cooper Graham. Problem? Graham’s spotted her, and he’s not happy. As with most SEP romances, the future couple starts off on the wrong foot. The man is […]
