So Carlisle takes a leave of absence from her law firm and goes to Texas to help. Her fiance, who has no idea she's an heiress, can't know that she's organizing the ball, handling the dramas of the girls involved, settling her mother's suit - and coming face to face with the true love of her life, whom she ran out on when she left Texas.
Her trip home challenges Carlisle's sense of herself and brings the pieces of her past togther, so that when she finally re-meets the man of her dreams, she's in a perfect place to tempt fate.

"I smiled throughout"
This was my first fiction audiobook and what a great way to get hooked. The narrator did a tremendous job and the content was fun, engaging and just what I wanted, light entertainment. It would be a good read but an even better listen!
"Very funny, very touching"
This book was a pleasant surprise for me. I didn't expect to like the main character or her trunk-ful of family drama as much as I did.
This was a very satisfying audiobook, great for a long trip or afternoon on the beach.
"Fun and a Delight"
This was a fun listen. Not deep, but I smiled and laughed throughout the entire book. If you are a Susan Elizabeth Phillips fan you will love this book. Great narration too.
"Excellent Book"
Great book, funny and light, with wonderful dialog that had me laughing out loud, and very well read. Let's see more from this author!
To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe.
"What a Great Listen!"

A devil in the Jr. League is her other book which I loved
Always love the accents of the narrator
I LOVE to listen to audiobooks - the Audible ap is by far the best thing that's ever happend to my iPhone.
"Loved it!"
What a wonderful, refreshing book! I truly enjoyed this book - and the performance of Susan Bennett was 100% perfect (A+++). If you enjoy light-hearted books - you'll certainly enjoy this one!!!
"Yee-Hah!"
I loved this book and most of it might be because of the EXCELLENT Narrator. I mean, it wasn't story of great literary height but it was funny and entertaining. The Narrator made the book. She was great!
"pretty good!"
The female was a strong character with a well developed history and interesting relationships. The narrator did a great job. The author seamlessly transitioned into flashbacks and the relationship conflicts were grounded enough to balance the fluffy chick lit-ness.
"Good Southern Fun"
I laughed out loud with this book. There were some great twists and turns that had me on the edge of my seat. I loved this book!
