Publisher's summary

Dean Robillard is the Chicago Stars' hotshot quarterback. Not only does he have lightening reflexes on the field, he is also utterly gorgeous. First introduced in the critically acclaimed Match Me If You Can, Dean is trying to recover (both mentally and physically) from a shoulder injury by taking a road trip. Along the way, he meets Blue, a beautiful woman down on her luck, and as they spend more time together their attraction grows. Blue has had a string of bad relationships and doesn't want to trust Dean right away. But they wind up living together, along with Dean's troubled half-sister, and learn that families and luck work in mysterious ways.

This is a hilarious new novel by New York Times best-selling author Susan Elizabeth Phillips.

Critic reviews

• Audie Award Winner, Romance, 2008

"Generously seasoned with plenty of tart humor and snappy dialogue, and graced with a delightfully amusing pair of protagonists trying desperately not to fall in love, Natural Born Charmer is simply irresistible." (Booklist)

Stellar performance

Anna Fields is the best. From an eleven year old to a rough rock legend to a salty Brooklynite. She does them all masterfully.

Love and Laughter

I've enjoyed all of Ms Phillips books in print and audio. This one didn't let me down. As always, humor, love, and wonderful characters make this a wonderful listen. This Heart of Mine and Match Me If you Can are prequels to this but you could listen to this one alone. But why would you. They are all funny and will have you sighing and laughing. Betcha can't stop with just one.

Wonderful!😂

Characters come to life with Anna Fields narration. Loved the story.. Be sure to listen to the Chicago Stars series. This author never fails to please my need for a book that does not need the F word as punctuation.

Laught Out Loud Funny, Fantastic Narration!!

I enjoyed this book. I LOVED the narrator and may well purchase other books just because she is reading them! She does 5 characters and each has their own "voice". This is a great listen when you are in the mood for somthing funny and light, may times I caught myself laughting out loud! It is also appropriate for young teens but with the caution of some mild sex scenes, but nothing that they haven't heard about from their friends yet I am sure! Enjoy!!

romance and humor

Great series. It's like going to the spa and enjoy your favourite programme. You know what you get, but still, you enjoy every bit of it, again and again.

One of my Favorite books

Any additional comments?

Whether you read the print version or listen to the audio, this is just such a fun book. Although, if you don't listen to the audio, you're really missing out. SEP is definitely one of my top 5 authors and for good reason. There are always aspects you can relate to as an average person and she has a great sense of humor. I would love to see more Chicago Stars books. Although it would be hard to replace Anna Fields, it would be ok to hear a new narrator if care was taken to find someone not too too different from Anna.

I loved the character of Blue Bailey. She was just so much fun with all her spunk and sass. Her character was put together just right to show her vulnerable side and I loved how she covered it up with sassy snappy comebacks. Her pairing with Dean and his sarcasm was just a perfect mix.

There were parts of this book that were intense and nearly brought a few tears but mostly it was fun and engaging and I just didn't want it to end.

Susan's books don't generally go too heavy on the sex. Which is ok. I don't read romances without sex but sometimes books just put too much focus on it. I love good sexy scenes but when the descriptions and adjectives go on and on for pages and pages, it's like, ok, ok, I get it. It's like a test to see how many different ways you can describe a penis. lol SEP doesn't do that. Her scenes are sexy without going overboard.

The narration is great. Ann was definitely a major player in her field and it's a shame she's not with us any longer so we could enjoy her talents longer.

One of my top Audible books EVER!

I have had this book in my audible library for years and just listened to it for the 4th time! Susan Elizabeth Philips has an amazing sense for writing characters and stories with depth, sarcasm, and humor. This isn't just a romance but a story about coming into your own and the importance of family...The narrator really brings the characters to life!!

Feel good story

what a lovely feelgood story. the characters were a mixed bunch and even though you can guess a lot of what is coming, it is still a very enjoyable listen. makes you wish real life was as easy.

Another charmer by Susan Elizabeth Phillips
