Publisher Description
New York Times bestselling author Susan Elizabeth Phillips magic is vibrantly alive, and it's on display in This Heart of Mine, the fifth book in her wildly popular Chicago Stars series!
Molly Somerville loves her career as the creator of the Daphne the Bunny children's book series, but the rest of her life could use some improvement. She has a reputation for trouble that started even before she gave away her fifteen-million-dollar inheritance. Then there's her long-term crush on the quarterback for the Chicago Stars football team her sister owns—that awful, gorgeous Kevin Tucker, a man who can't even remember Molly's name!
One night Kevin barges into Molly's not-quite-perfect life and turns it upside down. Unfortunately, the Ferrari-driving riving, poodle-hating jock isn't as shallow as she wishes he were, and she soon finds herself at a place called Wind Lake. Surrounded by paintbox cottages, including a charming old bed-and-breakfast, Molly and Kevin battle their attraction and each other as they face one of life's most important lessons. Sometimes love hurts, sometimes it makes you mad as hell, and sometimes—if you're lucky—it can heal in a most unexpected way.

"One of my all-time favorites! I loved Molly and her children's books. Kevin started out somewhat of a jerk but quickly had me swooning. I loved the summer camp setting, Molly and Kevin, and all the secondary characters that made "This Heart of Mine" smile with delight as I read each and every word. This is a book that I've read over and over many times. It just makes me smile and feel good!"

" You read one, you've read them all. But it served its purpose. Along with the end of the working week, rice chocolate, The Necks 'Sex' on laptop, and my girlfriend and Mom calling me and both finishing their conversations with; 'Goodnight Grandma.' "

— Summer, 2/6/2014 -
" One of my favorite by Phillips, since Molly is so loony yet so funny and real in so many ways. The beginning shocked me a little. It's a laugh out loud kinda book. Kevin and Bobby are my two favorite male heroes from the series, sensitive jocks. "
— Natalya, 2/2/2014 -
" I didn't know if I was going to like Molly in the beginning, she seemed spoiled and a little bit off, but knowing she her actions were a result of her horrible relationship was with her father from the "It Had To Be You" I kept reading. I am glad I did, this was an emotional and funny book. "

" This is another of my favorites. The characters are so fun, she turns "slytherin" into a eptithet, she writes a cute children's story and educates everyone about how hard it is to be a children's author--fantastic! "
— Sarav, 11/1/2013 -

" I've read this one at least three times. Probably my favorite Stars book. "
— Beth, 12/16/2011 -
" This was not my favorite book and I did not really like Molly at the beginning. I also did not like how she tricked Kevin into sleeping with her. The book did get better and I did like the ending, but still not my fav. "
— Mindy, 11/14/2011 -
" I adore this book. Kevin Tucker is such a good character and Molly is complex. These characters stay with me long after I read the book as the moral implications of Molly's actions make me question how I can love this book. "
— Shallowreader, 10/25/2011 -
" When I first started this book I wasn't sure if I was going to like it but it took the right turn and I loved it!!!! Molly is crazy and kind, Kevin is also crazy and kind. The fun is watching their friendship grow into romance and love. "

— Larissa, 5/15/2011 -
" I really, really tried to like Molly, but I just couldn't do it. There was just something about her character that seemed forced. Sad to say, I had to put the book down, unfinished. "
— Carrie, 5/14/2011 -
" Really a Sweet, Humorous book with characters that were unpredictable and exciting. I can really relate to Molly,who is pretending to be the good girl but is really mischievous and fun. I couldn't put it down and I really enjoyed reading it. "
— Ava, 5/10/2011 -
" I was not planning on reading this, honestly. It was too cliche for me. But because of It Had To Be You, I got really excited on how Molly Sommerville would end up. Well, reading This Heart of Mine was worth the time and effort it took me. Amazing book! :) "
— Gale, 5/7/2011 -

" This book made me cry, I really could relate to what Molly went through. I loved that she was a childrens book author and the characters in the books reflected what was going on in her life. "
— Mindy, 3/28/2011 -
" Liked Molly better in "match me if you can" and Kevin was much more interesting in "nobody's baby but mine" it was nice to see Phoebe and Dan and all their kids again, but otherwise the book was boring. "
— Spazfungus, 3/28/2011 -
" SEP is one of my favourite romance authors. But what Molly did in the beginning of the book was so inexcusable that I couldn't get to like her at all. It just tainted everything and I couldn't finish the book. "
