Simply the Best: A Chicago Stars Novel by Susan Elizabeth Phillips

Read it in one sitting and it was as satisfying as the amazing chocolates described in the books. Love the character growth, the relationships with the side characters as well as the mains, and the underlying murder mystery. As usual, the characters are fun, unique, and bigger than life but also realistically flawed. Nice touch with a secondary romance and ultra satisfying HEA and epilogue. Phillips always delivers a winner.

Simply the Best: A Chicago Stars Novel by Susan Elizabeth Phillips

Simply the Best by Susan Elizabeth Phillips
Chicago Stars series #10. Contemporary romance with references to sports and athletics but no games or matches in the story. Can be read as a stand-alone.
Rory Garrett has told her half brother and famous football player Clint, that she believes his current girlfriend Ashley, is only after his money. Clint’s business manager, Brett Rivers has told Clint the same thing.

Entertaining and fun to continue the Stars series. It’s been a long time running and while this book has very little actual sporting interaction, it’s still a wonderful romance. The author writes a compelling story.… (more)
