She is so much more than she appears to be on the outside. She’s such a complex character: curvaceous, flamboyant, airheaded sexpot, wounded survivor, witty, smart. My favorite character, however, is Phoebe. Susan Elizabeth Phillips has created a wonderful cast of characters, including the lovable members of the Chicago Stars football team. The love scenes are sexy and pack a lot of heat without feeling raunchy. I loved the slow burn of not just the romance between Phoebe and Dan but the relationship between Phoebe and her sister and the bromance between Ron and Dan as well. “I’d say we’re more like gasoline and blowtorch.” When are you going to finish inventing yourself?” This book has the perfect blend of poignancy and humor. But the refreshing writing style sets this book apart from its more modern counterparts and makes it reminiscent of the types of romance novels that made me fall in love with the genre. In fact, if it weren’t for some dated references (cassette tapes, VCR, a Walkman, OJ Simpson as the sportscaster, etc.) it could very well have been a new release. It Had to Be You is old-school romance at its finest and I’m not talking about the fact that it was written over 20 years ago. I definitely discovered a delightful sports romance to add to my favorites bookshelf. Because of them I just may have found a new favorite author. I owe a huge debt of gratitude to my friends friends for clogging my Goodreads feed with updates of binge reading books by Susan Elizabeth Phillips. The sexy, heartwarming, and hilarious 'prequel' to This Heart of Mine-Susan Elizabeth Phillips's New York Times bestselling blockbuster-It Had To Be You is an enchanting story of two stubborn people who believe in playing for keeps.

So why is Dan drawn to the shameless sexpot like a heat-seeking missile? And why does the coach's good ol' boy charm leave cosmopolitan Phoebe feeling awkward, tongue-tied. And the sexy new boss is everything Dan despises-a meddling bimbo who doesn't know a pigskin from a pitcher's mound. And Phoebe is definitely not ready for the Stars' head coach, former gridiron legend Dan Calebow, a sexist jock taskmaster with a one-track mind. The Windy City isn't quite ready for Phoebe Somerville-the outrageous, curvaceous New York knockout who has just inherited the Chicago Stars football team. Published by HarperCollins e-books on May 14th 2013 It Had to Be You (Chicago Stars, #1) by Susan Elizabeth Phillips
