Review: This book was fast-paced from the very start. It was funny and sexy. Phoebe has almost everyone convinced she's a bimbo. But she has lots of brains and succeeds beyond her wildest dreams. A must read!

Summary: Enjoyable, fun, romantic!!
Review: This was yet another of Ms. Phillips great stories. I have read almost all of her books now and thoroughly enjoyed them all. This one was funny, romantic and one that you have a hard time keeping an even pace reading!! Daisy is a spoiled little rich girl that has found herself in a lot of trouble, when her father has married her off to a handsome, arrogant circus performer, named Alex. Alex drags Daisy off to become one of the circus family and teaches her about real life and gives her a few hard knocks along the way. Daisy's pride will not let her give up and run away, so she learns to be tough along with her overly loving and sweet ways. It is a very fun loving, and romantic book that will warm your heart along with Alex's!! He's one tough cookie to crumble, but Daisy is the one that can do it. A must read for those who enjoy good feeling books.

Summary: Not the best that I've read.
Review: This book was a disappointment actually. I'd expected something really good, based on the fabulous reviews. The first 75 pages did a good job plunging me into the story. The rest of the plot moved slowly and predictably. I'm usually a fast reader but I had trouble finishing this book.
Rating:
Summary: This book has everything. Laughter, suspense, romance.

Summary: Not your average romance...
Review: "I guess we're like oil and water.""I'd say we're more like gasoline and a blowtorch." This quote from _It Had To Be You_ basically sets the undertone for the whole book. I love Susan Elizabeth Phillips, and I was thrilled to get my hands on _It Had To Be You_. I'd heard so many things about her football series that I couldn't wait to read the book that started it all. Pheobe Sommerville just got herself a football team. After her dog, Pooh, peed on her father's grave, she found out that her father left her his Chicago Stars. Now, all she has to do is learn what to do with that little ball covered in pig skin called a "football". For, even though her father has owned the team for about a decade, Pheobe hasn't come in contact with him for longer then that. She's been spending her time flouncing around the world and making a name for herself as a sexpot bimbo. Little does anyone know that behind her curvy body lies an intelligent mind and a wounded soul. Dan Calebow, the Stars coach, has overcome childhood poverty and abuse to become a successful football player and coach. Needless to say, he is furious that Pheobe inherited the team. When the two meet, sparks fly, tempers flare, and passions roar as the reader gets ready for the time of her/ his life. Pheobe learns how to deal with the team as Dan learns how to deal with Pheobe. And, the two are undeniably attracted to each other. Can the Stars win the AFC Championship so Pheobe can keep the team? Will Pheobe and Dan put away their pride so that they can have a love for all time? I really loved _It Had To Be You_ and for many reasons. When I first met Pheobe, I thought, Oh great, I'll have to read about her for the rest of the book. But, I quickly saw that she was an amazingly complex character and she goes through a wonderful change through out the book. Dan is this big chest thumping, beer belching, womanizing chauvanist, and I usually don't like my heroes to be quite this alpha. But, he is definitely a charmer and as Pheobe fell under his spell, so did I. Susan Elizabeth Phillips is known through out the romance world for her witty, uncanny humor. It shines in _It Had To Be You_. Although there are definitely the darker sides to this book, it has such a cornball, smart humor to it that everyone will love it. Susan Elizabeth Phillips has an amazing talent for romance and humor, a combination that is dynamite. Not many books can have you laughing in stiches one second and crying your eyes out the next. _It Had To Be You_ is one of those special few. So, if you enjoy lovely romance and knock your socks off humor, _It Had To Be You_ is a must read.
