The funniest love story of the year, Call Me Irresistible is the book Susan Elizabeth Phillips fans have been craving. The beloved New York Times bestselling author returns with a delightfully sassy, sexy, and downright irresistible tale of true love Texas style.
Ted Beaudine, one of Phillips’s most charming characters (the adolescent heartbreaker from her hilarious debut, Fancy Pants, and the new college graduate from Lady Be Good) is now all grown up and in a heap of romantic trouble all his own—in a perfectly marvelous contemporary romance that fans of Emily Giffin, Kristen Hannah, and Elin Hilderbrand will simply adore.

"*sigh* Call Me Irresistible is my favorite in the Wynette, Texas series. I loved Meg Koranda and her quirks, even in What I Did For Love. Although I got really annoyed with the people of Wynette, they came through for her in the end. All's well that ends well. "
— Gale (5 out of 5 stars)
“Phillips at her very best. Romantic, funny, sexy, and poignant. Reading this novel was like opening a box of expensive chocolates—once I’d started, I couldn’t stop. I forgot about my work and my favorite TV shows. All I wanted to do was find out what was going to happen next in Wynette, Texas. Meg and Ted’s love story simply swept me away. If you’re down or busy or distracted, I have the cure: Call Me Irresistible is guaranteed to put a smile on your face. I loved this book.”
— Kristin Hannah, New York Times bestselling author“Even if you’re not a self-proclaimed ‘SEPpie’—one of Phillips’ die-hard romance readers—Call Me Irresistible is just a bit irresistible. It’s satisfyingly mindless and mirth-inducing without being in the least moronic…Phillips’ lead female character is strong, complicated and quick to sass even as she goes about discovering her own potential.”
— Washington Post“Shannon Cochran gives a good performance creating the voices of the characters that Phillips describes so clearly. Slow Texas drawls and clipped British accents are equally believable, as are the variety of different personalities in strong, decisive women and big, powerful men. Cochran brings the wonderful romance to life.”
— Publishers Weekly“Uniting characters from a number of her past novels, Phillips serves up a funny, steamy, blood pressure–spiking heart-wringer…Phillips has the ability to drill down into her characters’ motivations, while conveying their stories with sensitivity and laugh-out-loud humor. Consistently remarkable, she's done it again; Irresistible is stunning.”
— Library Journal" Loved it! I wasn't as big of fan of her last book, but I loved this return to Wynette and to visit all of my old friends from there. Great way to spend my evening! "
— Dawnie, 2/19/2014" Oh, this was an amazing book! Loved it! There were great characters, and they were so funny! And all the antics, and the different parts of the plot, and all the character growth, it was an amazing book! Must read more! "
— Louisa, 2/14/2014" A really silly book which I realized after I started was actually a romance (!) novel. I have no idea where I saw it recommended, but really do need to vet recommendations a little more thoroughly. At least it only took a couple of days to read. "
— Marcia, 2/1/2014" I listened to it in the car on my commute. The narrator was good. It was not a totally believable story, but it was a nice happy-ending story and a bit sexy, so perfect as a relaxing listen for my commute. "
— Becky, 1/29/2014" I read it with a lot of mixed feeling. I like how it started and how it ended, except that I didn't want it to finish too soon. "
— Dyzaleen, 1/19/2014" This book was fun from beginning to end. Susan Elizabeth Phillips at her best with a smart, sassy heroine and a hero I loved (especially since I remembered him from her earlier book, Fancy Pants). I liked this book so much that I read it twice. "
— Myrna, 1/11/2014" The last third of the book redeems is, but I still had a hard time believing the town and the whole best friend thing was odd. Love Meg! "
— Elizabeth, 1/8/2014" Very cute story! I absolutely loved Ted and Meg. I love how this book fits in with the Wynette, Texas series. A great read! "
— Rachael, 11/21/2013" SEP does it again. I really enjoyed reading this book, loved the characters and I loved the fact that she included so many characters from her past books. Just great!! "
— constance, 8/31/2013" I enjoyed this book. I didn't know there were other books with the same characters so a few references to things like the "Glitter Baby" went over my head, but didn't interfere with my enjoyment of the story. "
— Tacy, 6/13/2013" I like Susan Elizabeth Phillips. The lead man was a little bit of a jerk, but I guess anyone would be in that situation. The characters were entertaining and believable, and I was very entertained by the story. "
— Heidi, 4/12/2013" I had a bit of trouble getting into this one, but counted on SEP to haul me in, and she did. Never disappoints. "
— Gwynlyn, 3/16/2013" I gave this book 3 stars just because it was so predictable and a little cheesy at times, but overall I still enjoyed it. "
— Stefanie, 11/17/2012" I love this book! Meg and Ted are made for each other and SEP never disappoints. "
— Aly, 6/8/2012" i am loving it! ;) "
— Nurshahidah, 9/18/2011" this book was better than i expected.the characters really brought the best of each other and i just LOVE Meg's impulsive and wild attitude. it's the complete opposite of ted's. the book is nice to cozy up with. "
— Julie, 7/20/2011" I am a quarter of the way into the story and find it not as funny as SEP's early books. Revisiting Wynette, Texas and some characters from an earlier book that I recall enjoying is keeping me reading. "
— Enaida, 5/21/2011" In the past I've enjoyed books by this author but this one was very disappointing. The storyline just didn't seem believable, and the characters are shallow and boring. Wonder why I even finished it. "
— Judy, 5/18/2011" Wow. Fabulous reunion of beloved SEP characters...read it in one sitting!! "
— Sarah, 5/12/2011" Call Me irresistible is a gripping book. I loved it! "
— Marie, 5/9/2011" Only so-so as SEP books go. I really didn't believe in the chemistry of the couple. "
— RL, 5/7/2011" Whenever I want to laugh and read a happy book I can count on Susan Elizabeth Phillips, she never lets me down. This one was particularly good because it was about children from past books who had grown up. "
— Collene, 5/3/2011" Another book about going after your best friend's fiancée. Ugh. "
— Julie, 4/29/2011" I love Susan Elizabeth Phillips books and I loved this one too. I was a little disappointed with the lack of perspective from Ted until the end. It would have been nice to see more inside his head. "
