5 Stars!
I am having such a great time reading this series. My first SEP book was Fancy Pants which I really enjoyed but the Chicago Stars Series is quickly becoming my favorite of her books thus far. What I am finding that I enjoy the most is the humor. And I don’t mean just a giggle here and there; I mean laugh out loud humor.
Along with the humor you get a great story line, a sexy and brooding hero and a sweet and beautiful heroine with a backbone. All of the books in this series can be read as a stan
I am having such a great time reading this series. My first SEP book was Fancy Pants which I really enjoyed but the Chicago Stars Series is quickly becoming my favorite of her books thus far. What I am finding that I enjoy the most is the humor. And I don’t mean just a giggle here and there; I mean laugh out loud humor.
Along with the humor you get a great story line, a sexy and brooding hero and a sweet and beautiful heroine with a backbone. All of the books in this series can be read as a standalone which is also fantastic but I have decided to read them in order. Some of the characters from the preceding books have a cameo so for me it was helpful to know what their story was about. I think Nobody’s Baby But Mine is my favorite. There was something a little more fragile about this heroine than the others and the hero was a little more relentless in his own particular quest. Janie ~ she was a little quirky. I guess that couldn’t be helped since she was a physicist. But she was also funny, beautiful and awkwardly flirty. Janie thought she had the perfect plan when she decided on the man to father her child. She knew she didn’t want a man that matched her IQ. She needed one that was lacking in that area. She had her reasons and she knew setting her eyes on Cal Bonner was the answer to her expiring biological clock. Cal ~ loved this guy. Being the quarterback for the
Chicago Stars is his life. He is mans man too. Loves the niceties that he can afford and has a certain reputation to live up to. He is also very charming, handsome and amusing. When Janie presents herself to him he was a bit leery. He’d have his fun with her of course but the result of it wasn’t anything he’d ever expect. When everything backfires on Janie she finds herself in a bit of a mess. One that could not easily be fixed. Cal is beyond livid with her and decides the only way to deal with the “situation” was to bring Jane back to his hometown to wait things out. Here she meets Cal’s Gran Annie, his mom and dad Jim and Amber Lynn and his brother Ethan. Each one of these people brought about moments that made me cry (a little), laugh (a lot) and warmed my heart. Of course my favorite moments are with Janie and Cal though. The banter between them was endless and the anticipation of her reveal (read the book and you will know) drove me batty in the most wonderful way possible. Jane and Cal fall into a comfortable relationship and both are a bit surprised with how far they have come. But they struggle to turn that next corner and Cal finds himself on the wrong side of the fence. He never thought it would be so hard to convince someone that he loved them. This was such a fantastic book and I am thankful that my friend Karen continued to nudge me to start this series. ❤ I highly recommend this to all my friends!
