Publisher's summary

R.S.V.P. to the most riotous wedding of the year....

Lucy Jorik is the daughter of a former president of the United States.

Meg Koranda is the offspring of legends.

One of them is about to marry Mr. Irresistible - Ted Beaudine - the favorite son of Wynette, Texas. The other is not happy about it and is determined to save her friend from a mess of heartache.

But even though Meg knows that breaking up her best friend's wedding is the right thing to do, no one else seems to agree. Faster than Lucy can say "I don't", Meg becomes the most hated woman in town - a town she's stuck in with a dead car, an empty wallet, and a very angry bridegroom.

Broke, stranded, and without her famous parents at her back, Meg is sure she can survive on her own wits. What's the worst that can happen? Lose her heart to the one and only Mr. Irresistible? Not likely. Not likely at all.

Call Me Irresistible is the book Susan Elizabeth Phillips's readers and listeners have long awaited. Ted, better known as "little Teddy", the nine-year-old heartbreak kid from Phillips's first best seller, Fancy Pants, and as "young Teddy", the hunky new college graduate in Lady Be Good, is all grown up now - along with Lucy from First Lady and Meg from What I Did for Love. They're ready to take center stage in a saucy, funny, and highly addictive tale fans will love.

Pre Req's not Required.

I have grown to love SEP books. They are fun, easy reads with strong female leads. I hadn't read Fancy Pants or the other book that followed so I was a little worried that I'd be lost. Not so. It's an easy listen, the narrator is great and SEP provides enough background info on the characters that the story is easy to follow. I loved meg's character. She is smart, strong and determined to make it on her own after her family cuts her off. Ted is just hot! I loved their chemistry and I loved the characters in this small texas town. I was sad when the story ended.

Another hit!

This is a return to Phillips past books, with an entertaining story and great narration! Definitely worth a credit!

Great Book--Loved It

She (SEP) did again, another good book I would give the book 5+ stars if I could. Many funny spots in the book and I loved the story and it was realistic--sexy scenes were great also.

The only thing that would have made it better is to have Anna Fields reading it (which can't happen) or someone that gives that "oomph" that Anna did. Shannon Cochran did a pretty good job (I give her a 3+), but I did not get that feel I wanted to hear when you listen to Anna. I kept hearing someone with a northern dialect trying to portray a southerner and it was not all that convincing, but she still got her funny jabs in when required. While I think Anna was a northerner (from Seattle--right?), she got that southern accent down perfect. I suggest to whoever makes the decision to try Therese Plummer or Anne Dawe next time. I wonder if anyone from the Audible reads the ratings.

Despite my critique of Ms. Cochran's reading, I will listen again.

I can't wait for Lucy's story. SEP, hopefully it will not be another year before you write her story. And another Chicago Stars story as well.

Funny, sexy, good light read

Call Me Irresistible

I thought this book was great! I didn't want it to end! Please SEP write faster! I love your books!

loved it

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

i would and i have already. The characters are as always easy to relate with. The story is so cute and funny.

What did you like best about this story?

I loved the journey Meg took finding herself and proving to herself that she was a capable person. I loved how Meg and Teddy interacted. I loved how it was real life, with the bickering and the way that love just happens.

What does Shannon Cochran bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

She had a lot of feeling in her words not just reading off a page.

Any additional comments?

Don't go just by reveiws in your decision to listen. The reviews of some almost made me skip this amazing book

Ruins the SEP Characters in Texas

If you like any of the charcaters in Texas from other books, like "Lady be Good", then do not listen to this book. Nothing is worse than having favorite charcters trade their charm for hypocrisy. This is a story about an entire town forcing a woman into an undesired sexual encounter with a snake of man, just for financial security...wait, isn't that basically pimping a woman out? How could SEP made such a severe misjudgement?

I tried to like it ...

Usually I enjoy books by S.E. Phillips, but this one made for painful listening. Sadly, I wonder where the writer of 'Breathing Room' has disappeared to. With the next Phillips novel, I'll skip it.

The rating says it all for me

SEP was my first enjoyable introduction into listening to books. If I didn't own all of the others I would have thought this was her first attempt.
I cannot figure out if it truly was the story or if it was missing the remarkable Ana Fields but whatever it was I found this story...tedious. If you want to own all of her audible books...that would be the only reason to purchase.. But that is just my opinion.

awful

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

Horrible reader. I am surprised at reading other comments, that those listeners like the reader. I could have gotten through the story,but this reader just plain killed the story!

Has Call Me Irresistible turned you off from other books in this genre?

I own all of SEP recorded stories. Yes the late ms Fields dd such a woderful job.but Natalie Ross or Gabra Zackman could help fill Ms. Fields shoes.

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Call Me Irresistible?

Ms SEP is relying on her best sellers to pull her fans back in.

Any additional comments?

Lucy story is read by this same reader, I will have to read it!
