Rating:  Summary: Slow start but a great ending Review: This book was definitley a slow stater, but once it picked up, I couldn't put it down! Watching "Suzie" grow after she left a family that was holding her back was a lot of fun. She starts out timid and shy but becomes a strong woman who is enjoyable to read about.There were several parts that got under my skin - specifically the parts with her pain-in-the...husband, but she overcomes the obsticals that are in front of her and, true to most romance novels, finds the happiness she deserves.
Rating:  Summary: Exciting! Fast paced! Review: This is definitely my favorite novel by Susan E. Phillips. I finished this book the day after I purchased it, and have read it over and over again. Hopefully she'll come out with a sequel!
Rating:  Summary: Brings out the emotions! Review: This is the first book by Susan Elizabeth Phillips that I've read.. and I've been searching for a book that's as good, ever since. I was amazed by the increadible research that SEP must have done to write such an indepth look into the beginnings of a computer company and how it affected the main character(s) lives. Of course, I'm sure she got the idea from the lives of Steve Jobbs and Bill Gates. But adding a female to this combination was the perfect ingredient. Susannah is an incredible heroine, one I could relate to, and I was sad when the story of her life was over. Her relationships and hardships were very real, and I found myself eatting up every page.. wondering what would happen next. You'll also find one of the most well-written flashbacks of a character's life when you read the story of Mitch's childhood. I feel like I could read a whole book just on him. Read this book.. it's not a typical frivilous romance novel.. You'll enjoy the story, but be prepared to get angry, cry like a baby, and burst out in laughter. Enjoy!
Rating:  Summary: No, not your typical SEP Review: This was one of her first books and it shows her writing style changed quite a bit. I enjoyed this book it was interesting and it reminded me of a "Judith Michael" book so I actually understood the flow of the story with the long absence of romance between the 2 characters. I was lucky enough to have read this book early on in my SEP reading so therefore I wasn't to dissapointed. This book is not "light" and "humorous" as her others but it is a keeper if you like to see an author's growth. She did a tremendous amount of research (you can tell) about the beginning of the Computer age and Silicon Valley which was much appreciated and I think the romance was just thrown in because that was what she writes. All in all not a bad book just not something to pick up if you just finished reading "It Had to Be You" or "Nobody's Baby but Mine" this is a different style all together. Happy Reading
Rating:  Summary: Great Book! Review: Though this is not a typical SEP book, I loved it! This is a wonderful story that grabs the reader right from the start and doesn't let go. The author has created well drawn, interesting characters with her usual style and talent. The complex story centered on the development of the personal computer in Silicon Valley is woven in a seamless fashion and includes intrigue, betrayal, suspense, humor and yes - passion. I couldn't put it down!
