" I'm still not sure how I feel about some of the plot side stories, but the ending made up for the beginning and middle. And I saw that one of the books later in the series has to do with Teddy, so I'm super excited to keep reading, even if this wasn't the best SEP book I've read. "
— Hannah, 2/18/2014" Great book, just a tad too long. I think some of the back stories could have been avoided. I loved everything about Dallie and Francie though. "
— Colleen, 2/17/2014" I loved this story, it was not the usual expected romance! I didn't care for it at first, but glad I waded through the first part! Had a lot of sex to fast forward through, but the book was worth the effort! "
— Barb, 12/11/2013" Another of my all-time favs! The interaction and chemistry between the two characters was fabulous. The story was witty and charming and a little sad, too. This book has been read over and over! "
— AnneOK, 11/29/2013" good, but too few, love scenes. otherwise, the most exciting parts were descriptions of a golf tournament. maybe i was just excited that the end of the book was nearing... "
— Lizzy, 11/11/2013" Not so much like her other books. A ton of back story with two charaters I am not exactly sure I liked. "
— Laela, 10/29/2013" Not my taste of books, but it was alright. Good read for relaxing and very light. :) "
— Iunisi, 10/28/2013" I was listening this on book radio and got the book cheap off of half.com. It was good but predictable. Entertaining and i did enjoy it. "
— Stephanie, 9/27/2013" Cricket recommended this author- I will read more of hers "
— Sandy, 12/13/2012" pure fluff, but SEP does create quirky characters. This story has those quirky characters too. "
— Katy, 8/16/2012" The start is very Danielle Steele-esque but it definitely improves. Not my favorite SEP but not as bad as it at first would seem. It was worth listening to as backstory for Lady Be Good. "
— Christy, 7/1/2012" This is one of the not-so-great SEP books. Yeah, it had a lot of fun interesting things, but they were fun interesting things I'd read in her other books. I liked the characters but couldn't love them. They were okay. "
— Shae, 6/2/2012" Not too keen on the heroine or the hero, gave up 1/4 of the way through the book. "
— Marnie, 5/2/2012" Excellent story with many unique and memorable characters. "
— Vicky, 10/20/2011" This one started out really slow and was a little hard to follow at first. Once I got through about the first 50 pages, it really picked up and sucked me in. "
— Megan, 7/6/2011" Some parts I thought it was a 3 stars in others it was a 4... I wont fight with myself, I'm giving it a 3 1/2 stars "
— Marcela, 6/22/2011" This was not a favorite of mine from SEP. To many side stories that I felt were unnecessary. "
— Treiva, 5/27/2011" Dallie and Francesca....love love love this romance!! "
— Lisa, 5/19/2011" Not so much like her other books. A ton of back story with two charaters I am not exactly sure I liked. "
— Laela, 4/29/2011" Wonderfully flawed characters that annoyed me in the beginning but won me over by the end. And although the beginning was slow, the last third was great. I always enjoy Susan Elizabeth Phillips "
— Tricia, 4/24/2011" I liked francesca, kind of, and dallie too, kind of, but the real heroes of this story or Skeet, Teddy, and miss chandler, i think her name was, no matter how small their roles. "
— Johara, 4/19/2011" truly engaging although the it would've been better if we see more of Dallie's side. very inspiring. i loved Teddy and Skeet. :) "
— Lea, 4/16/2011" One of the best SEP's I've read! It felt like it could have been broken into two books but without the agonizing wait for a sequel. "
— Cheryl, 4/14/2011" Riches to rags to riches story with an improbable romance that results in a happy ending. "
— Mindy, 4/11/2011" I really enjoyed this book. It was fantastic!!! The way characters evolve and entertwine with each other is fab. I could feel her pain and I Teared for all the hardship she went through and for her successes.... Wonderful. "
