Hot Shot

Summary: Tough Read....Boring!
Review: After reading most of her books in one night, I forced myself to finish this one, hoping it would pick up. It didn't. I am not a romance book reader by nature, but found her other books hard to resist. I have read all of her books in less than two weeks. I am glad I ended with this one, or else I don't think I would have read the others. Do yourself a favor and pass this one in her collection by....

Summary: a GREAT read (but not a romance)...
Review: As a frequent flyer, SEP books help me thru bumpy takeoffs and landings. Not so this one. This book didnt get me interested until Mitch appeared on the scene. I hated Sam and wanted to slap 'Susie'. But here I was 35,000 feet over nowhere so I finished the book in 3 hours. There was no clever banter back and forth as there is with her other books. Mitch came close. I give SEP an "A" for research on the computer business and will continue to seek out her other books.

Summary: Great Book - Fast Read
Review: As usual, this author produced a great book that's compelling, with characters you care about. The book centers on the rise of a computer maker in the 70's and 80's. Naturally the company is beset with troubles before it becomes successful. What is best about this book is the skillful way the author weaves the inter-personal relationships. Read this

Summary: Hot Shot by Susan Elisabeth Phillips
Review: Excellent romance..great twists and turns! I love when I am surprised with unexpected events. It brought back the Seventies and gave me insight into our technical world's beginnings. I could not put it down! The characters are endearing as well. I give it two thumbs up.

Summary: It is not what I expect out of SEP
Review: Honestly speaking, I was disappointed when I read this book. Especially since I really enjoyed SEP's other books like First Lady and Kiss An Angel. Her writing style is definately different with Hot Shot. It is more factual and there wasn't enough humour in it to hold my attention for long. It took me three days to finish the book when I usually can finish SEP's books in one day. That's how boring it was!

Summary: Long on Detail, Short on Romance
Review: Hot Shot contains classic SEP scenes, full of snappy dialogue and sizzling tension, but it's short on romance. The heroine and hero appear to be romantically involved almost as an afterthought, as most of the book centers around the birth of the computer. While interesting, the novel reads more like Judith Krantz than SEP through most of it, and the endless inclusion of technical jargon grows tiring by the end of the novel.

Summary: Woman Conquers
Review: Hot Shot delves into the world of computers while watching a woman grow up in a dog-eat-dog world. Born into a blue-blood family, and raised to be a doting daughter to a powerful businessman, Susannah Falconer didn't discover herself until she was at the foot of the alter with hundreds of San Francisco's society looking on....Hot Shot is laced with a wide range of characters that never cease to entertain with wit, love, and painful heartbreaks. Set against the building of a new age--"the computer age"--this book is a must read of love and the courage to shoot for your dreams.--"Siena Fields"

Summary: Susan Elizabeth Phillips as you've never read her before...
Review: I am a firm fan of Susan Elizabeth Phillips writing. I get all wrapped up in her storytelling and always feel warm and glad to be alive after every story. But Hot Shot is so different from her other books that I've read. It too is a romance but it is so much more. It is probably the first romance i read that the 'hero', Sam, turned out not to be the love of her life... it kinda threw me in a loop there for a while. Flawed heroes seem to get their acts together before 'the end' in romance novels and he kinda did too, but not in the way i expected. It threw me in a loop but in a good way. Suzi, Paige, Yank, Mitch and even Sam were alive and real and I loved them all. Incredible... brilliant! A touch of realism in my fantasy world was so unusual but it was spun so brilliantly that it fit right in. So i can't get my mind together on which SEP novel i like the most... but Hot Shot is definitely in the running.
