Length: 11 hrs and 23 mins

Publisher's summary

Molly Somerville knows she has a reputation for trouble. She did give away her $15-million inheritance, but, hey, nobody's perfect. Yes, Molly's happy about almost everything...except her long-term crush on the daredevil quarterback for the Chicago Stars. That awful, gorgeous Kevin Tucker, a man who can't even remember her name!

One night, Molly's penchant for running into trouble runs her right into Kevin himself, turning her world upside down. Heartbreak follows, and just when she's certain things can't get worse, Kevin forces his way back into her life. She and Kevin battle their attraction while trying to cope with an aging sexpot actress and a pair of teenage newlyweds.

Their careers and lives are in crisis, yet they can't seem to stay away from each other. Sometimes falling in love hurts; sometimes it makes you mad as hell. And sometimes, if you're very lucky, it can heal in a most special and unexpected way.

Critic reviews

"Pure up-to-the-minute entertainment." (Publishers Weekly)
"Susan Elizabeth Phillips writes a story that wraps around your heart and doesn't let go." (Oakland Press)

Lots of smiles

The beginning was uncomfortable, but the characters developed into warm and interesting people. The narration was excellent and added a great deal to story, making the children, especially Hannah, a wonderful part of it. I listened to the softball game twice because it was so well written and made me laugh out loud. I wish I knew these people.

Great

ENJOYABE

Would you consider the audio edition of This Heart of Mine to be better than the print version?

I REALLY LIKE THIS SERIES OF STORIES ABOUT THE CHICAGO STAR FOOTBALL TEAM PLAYERS AND THERE LOVE LIVES. IM SAD, I LAUGH OUT LOUD. SOME STEAMY LOVE SCENES, AND WHO DOESNT LIKE A BOOK WITH A HAPPY ENDING. I RECOMMEND THIS SERIES.

Another winner by SEP

I love SEP books. Anytime I don't know what I want to listen to, I will pull up a SEP novel and listen to it, regardless of whether or not I have heard it before. The female characters are always fascinating. Molly, in this book, is no exception. I was reluctant to get this book at first because I read in the "blurbs" that Molly had given away her inheritance (which was millions) and did not know if I could tolerate someone that stupid, but as it turns out, Molly is sometimes rash but she is not stupid. This is the fifth book in the Chicago Stars series. Molly is the sister of Phoebe (featured in the series's first book , It Had to Be You). Molly writes Daphne the Bunny books and the way SEP weaves in parts of the Daphne dialog into the This Heart of Mine storyline is very clever.

Never a dull minute!

Wow!! I loved this book! There were no boring parts or dull moments. I was intrigued the entire book! I am going to download more from this author!! Exceptional book!

Absolutely SWEET!

I loved this book. Molly is quirky, awkward, and simply irresistible. The narrator does a fantastic job reading this book.

Always 💘

Susan .E.P is just a great storyteller and her having Anna Fields read just makes it even better. The humor, jokes, quirky behavior and the borderline madness. It's a recipe for good books. Even when it wasn'twhat I was looking for. I'm surprised by the fact that her stories change my mind.
