"This is the second book and the series is getting better for me. I like Rick and Kendall. I like how the meet and how he becomes attached to her. I think Rick is a sweet man. Good fun. "
— Kathryn (4 out of 5 stars)
“Rick and Kendall were terrific, down-to-earth characters and…nothing beats the Chandlers’ matriarch!”
— RT Book Reviews" Spontaneous "
— Karen, 2/17/2014" The second in the series. It had good continuity from the first novel. I want the read the 3rd one for sure. "
— Kayla, 2/5/2014" For how fast I got through this book, you'd think I would have liked it more. I enjoy Phillips writing style, and there was some good banter in this book, but neither Rick or Kendall vibed with me enough for me to really get swept away. "
— Carrie, 2/5/2014" Another great book! Easy read with great characters. You get to know another brother and learn how the first brother is doing. "
— Tiffani, 1/30/2014" I read these books when I was in high school. They were my first and only experience with actual romance novels. I LOVED them. If I remember, they are pretty innocent compared to some other stuff I have read to date. I mean, there was some sexy sex, but it was tasteful and romantic. I have tried to read some more of her stuff since but just could not get into them. "
— Erin, 1/26/2014" kinda steamy, probably wouldn't recommend it. "
— melody, 1/21/2014" Hmm. I was frustrated by the big misunderstanding at the end. I wouldn't be nearly as annoyed if it had been reasonable. The author does choose some really awesome names, though. "
— SÃafra, 1/18/2014" Couldn't really keep my attention. "
— Gabriella, 12/18/2013" So cute.....very easy sweet chicklet ;) "
— Tiffany, 11/27/2013" Easy beach trash . "
— Michelle, 11/26/2013" Easy read - typical romance, we all need a happy ending book sometimes and this series delivers even if it is predictable "
— Daneen, 11/14/2013" I enjoyed this second in the Chandler brothers series. Easy read. I liked the Chandler family characters as they were devoted and loyal to each other. Kendall was a breath of impulsive fresh air. Her sister Hannah was a good, believable teenage character. "
— Ann, 10/20/2013" It was pretty interesting overall. Though you knew what was going to happen, it wasn't very dopey as other romantics. It had a realistic tone to it "
— Vicky, 10/4/2013" Why do I keep doing this to myself? I guess I could give it 1.5, if I could figure out how to do that. "
— Lori, 8/27/2013" Again very predictable.... nice little book -- good for when you need something light. I got it off the shelf because the cover attraced me... "
— Leslie, 6/19/2013" the bachelor is still my favourite. this is the story got reverse, was the girl who was reluctant. and had less spicy scenes than the bachelor, but still loved it! "
— Kittygabe, 5/1/2013" I'm going to read more I loved it "
— Kem, 2/26/2013" Book two of this series is a wonderful and delightful read. "

— Alexandria, 9/9/2012" ok. no wow but readable. "
— Ruth, 6/30/2012" This book was so much better than the first book "The Bachelor". The characters had great chemistry. I am glad that I did not give up on the author. "
— Stephanie, 5/11/2012" It's a good, lightweight romance novel without excessive smut. "
— Jenny, 4/9/2012" Fast, easy, formulaic. Wrapped up a little too predictably. "
— Alicia, 11/27/2011" I had to reread this one because I started out of order. Don't make that mistake. Read them all and in order. I loved them so far. Two down one to go. "
— Connie, 11/11/2011" Good story! The three brothers, although different, each have their own charming personalities and cute love stories. "
— Natalie, 10/10/2011" I loved Rick and Kendall. But my favorite character was probably Kendall's little sister. "
— Maeghan, 6/29/2011" I haven't read the first book but I wasn't lost because of it. This was a quick read that didn't require much thought. I liked it. "
— Lauren, 6/26/2011" Just about as good as the first in the series. The narrator's voice still annoyed me. "
— Kari, 3/14/2011" Very good! I love Carly Phillips! She is an amazing author, and she creates wonderful stories with wonderful characters. "
— Alexandra, 1/31/2011" i like something about this series but i have no idea what the hell it is, the plot would have been good if the author changed somethings (don't know what) i didn't care for the mother, she annoyed the hell out of me and was a big reason why i stopped reading all three books midway. "
— Bookgirl89, 7/28/2010" kinda steamy, probably wouldn't recommend it. "
— melody, 3/9/2010" Again very predictable.... nice little book -- good for when you need something light. I got it off the shelf because the cover attraced me... "
— Leslie, 2/6/2010" I never delete books from my audio library, but this one got shitcanned. Astoundingly bad. Eye-rollingly bad prose. Neither the title nor the book cover fit the story at all either. Craptastic. "
