Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Not sure what SEP was thinking
Review: I did not like this book one bit! It was very depressing. There was a pedophile, Honey Moon's father figure (like 20 years her senior) married her and then eventually died, the other hero lost an eye, honey believed that walt disney was god and there was a "magical" roller coaster that was the most important thing in her life.At the end the pedophile, the one eyed hero and honey lived happily ever after thanks to the magical powers of the roller coaster.

Don't waste your money on it. Buy the Chicago Star series or Lady be good instead!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not as good as the others are...
Review: I fell in love w/ Susan Elizabeth Phillips after reading NOBODY'S BABY BUT MINE. I had to read every book she has written! I have read most of them, lacking FANCY PANTS (my next) and IT HAD TO BE YOU (have to find it!). This one was my least favorite so far. It is incredibly slow well into the book, atleast 150 pgs. I am so used to her other books having BIG happenings in the first few chapters. I have to admit that I started liking it towards the end but, a little too late in my opinion. I really enjoyed seeing Honey grow up into a loving woman. It is so ironic w/ who she finally ends up with. I found it a little strange to see her marry Dash, wondering how a woman could go from loving her "father figure" to loving him as a husband. This book also has some terrible issues w/ sex abuse that I couldn't read b/c it hit too close to home. That's just my opinion..

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: If you love stories involving Hollywood, then read this book
Review: I found this book to be quite interesting. There were always twists and turns in this book, that held my interest to the final page. As with all of SEP books, I was sorry to see it end. And, I love the location of Hollywood for the setting for this book.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: I love her books, but found this one very different.
Review: I found this whole story far-fetched from the beginning. I just never got involved with Honey, in fact, I didn't like her or believe her. I couldn't seem to put it down either. I found the part on child abuse so upsetting. I just wanted it to get over. Give me Heaven,Texas or any others. Has this been my first book of hers, I never would have read another.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A mixed review
Review: I give the first half of the book, Honey and Dash's story, 4 stars. It is very well written, and we get a great deal of insight on the characters. SEP makes it easy to see why these two people fall in love despite their age differences, and I was happy for them. The second half of the book, Honey and Eric's story, gets only 2 stars from me because it is so rushed and feels forced. SEP has to quickly get two people together who didn't get along years before and have been out of each others' lives for a long time. While the lust they first feel is believeable (and their first sex scene short but hot) the "true love" that quickly follows is not. It feels like the author took the shortest route to a happy ending, but I was left feeling unhappy for this pair. Their foundation doesn't seem firm enough for a lasting relationship. I'll stick to the "Chicago Stars" books from now on. Better to re-read a classic.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: stunning!
Review: I had been introduced to SEP through her Chicago Stars trilogy which I loved. They were delightful, lighthearted romances. All three are on my keeper shelf. Then I read Honey Moon. Stunning! I was bawling by the end. The happiness is so much sweeter after the pain. Exceptional depth of character. Unusual for a romance to have two heros, but this was done extremely well.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Damn!
Review: I hate this book! It made me cry! Really different from the other books of SEP, but I totally recommend it. Very unique story! Damn!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A tough, but touching read (not your average romance)
Review: I have not read all of SEP's books, but Honey Moon is my favourite so far. In fact, I think that it just might be my favourite romance book ever...and I've read a lot of them!

The main attraction is the characters. They are wounded, flawed and inescapably human. I found them utterly believable- even if their situations were anything but! My family has foster kids, and trust me, SEP characterizations of adults dealing with childhood abandonment issues is dead on. And while Romance is a genre synononmous with escapism, I think this book effectively combines both real life problems, with the fairytale quality that SEP is known for. It's not enough for these characters to find love. They need redemption too.

Boy, do we have to work hard for that happy ending...but I found it all the sweeter for the effort.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: While not one of SEP's best, this is a very enjoyable novel.
Review: I have read all of SEP's books, and while not her best, this is a very enjoyable book. Not your typical romance story, SEP never goes for the standard plot twists, her stories are always very original. Honey Moon is a great heroine, who goes from nothing to become a famouse TV actress. She falls in love with her co-stars, one a burned-out cowboy and the other a sex symbol. The book spans a long time so we get to see Honey grow from a cheeky brat to an outspoken young woman. Just when you think you know what is going to happen, the author throws an unexpected twist and your off in another direction entirely!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Simply wonderful. Emotionally powerful.
Review: I have read many of Susan E. Phillips books. This one was different from the others I have read because the characters were complex and the story deeply emotional. I couldn't put it down! I liked it better than any of her other works because of its complexity and depth.

Wonderful read, really a keeper.
