It Had to Be You

Chicago Stars

De: Susan Elizabeth Phillips

Narrado por: Anna Fields

The Windy City isn't quite ready for Phoebe Somerville - the outrageous, curvaceous New York knockout who has just inherited the Chicago Stars football team. And Phoebe is definitely not prepared for the Stars' head coach Dan Celebow, a sexist jock taskmaster with a one-track mind. Celebow is everything Phoebe abhors. And the sexy new boss is everything Dan despises - a meddling bimbo who doesn't know a pigskin from a pitcher's mound.

So why is he drawn to the shameless sexpot like a heat-seeking missile? And why does the coach's good ol' boy charm leave cosmopolitan Phoebe feeling awkward, tongue-tied...and ready to fight?

The sexy, heartwarming, and hilarious "prequel" to New York Times best-selling author Susan Elizabeth Phillips’ This Heart of Mine - her sensational best-selling blockbuster - It Had to Be You is an enchanting story of two stubborn people who believe in playing for keeps.

Amazing Book

I absolutely loved this book. The story is great, the performance is great, the characters are great. I just could not take off my headphones.

A Gem

This was a delightfully surprising gem of a story! Just a bit uncomfortable with the way the author walks the line of physical romance with a rape victim. It’s just so hard to imagine a triggered victim falling for someone who assaulted her moments before. Besides that scene, everything else felt balanced fantasy and reality.

Great story

Thanks for bringing joy into the world it makes such a difference to all. Keep writing

Fun Read...Good Story!

Good storyline. Narrator was great! I enjoyed the book very much! It had some very hot sex scenes but it never felt dirty.

Such a sweet story

I thoroughly enjoyed reading/listening to this story. I read this book with my book club and I'm so glad that it was picked. I wasn't quite sure if I would enjoy it or not because I'm not really a football person however, that was truly not the main focus and the story was very well written. Phoebe and Dan are really great characters! I honestly loved all of the characters and noticed that there are more books in this series and I do intend to read them. Excellent story!

SEP and Anna Fields, there’s nothing better

There is nothing better than a wonderfully written SEP book read by Anna. Must listen

Love these books

I love SEP books. Steamy romance with a little bit humor when u least expect it. ♥️♥️♥️♥️

Character arcs!

When a book keeps up until nearly 4 in the morning, you know it’s good!
I loved how much these characters grew. And that went for the side characters as well.
It’s hard to say what exactly stood out the most, but the writer has a way of truly bringing you in to the story. I went from really wanting to (but not) liking the MMC, to being in love with him. And how strong Pheone was from beginning to end was inspired!

Cute, funny, and a lot of sass

BOOKIN IT BABES Book club July 2020 pick

Cute, funny, with a lot sass!!

This book was about a woman named Phoebe who inherits a football team called the Chicago stars. In order to keep her inheritance she has to make ,what she feels like, the impossible possible with taking a losing team to the top. She runs into many challenges but with the help of Dan nothing is impossible or is it?!?!? With Dan being just as stubborn as Phoebe their journey to the top is hilarious! Between their bantering I found myself several times laughing a loud! This book also transported me back to the mid 90s with detail in the character’s fashion and walk-mans references.

Loved it!

Good mix of love, heartache, and sweaty men! Kept me listening for hours at a time.
