  <description><![CDATA[<strong>She’s the baddest girl in town…isn't she?</strong><br/>Sugar Beth Carey's come back to Parrish, Mississippi, and she's brought her reputation for wreaking havoc with her. She's broke, desperate, and too proud to show it, even with her old enemies lining up for a chance to get even. Her former girlfriends have their eyebrow pencils sharpened into lethal points. Winnie Davis, her longtime rival, is fully armed with the money, power, and prestige that had once been Sugar Beth's. But worst of all is Colin Byrne, the man whose career Sugar Beth had destroyed— and not exactly accidentally.<br/><br/>Now Colin's a famous novelist living in Sugar Beth's old mansion, and this modern day dark prince is using his writer's imagination to figure out how to bring the town's beautiful former princess to her knees. But despite her sassy mouth, feisty spirit, and hardheaded ways, Sugar Beth's no longer the spoiled rich girl they all remember. No, now she's a woman to be reckoned with ... and a great big reckonin' is about to happen, not least of all for one dark prince who might—just might—be thinking about falling in love with the wickedest girl in town.<br/><br/>Ain't She Sweet? A funny, heartwarming, oh-so-spicy story of love, friendship, and the possibility of happily-ever-after.]]></description>

    <![CDATA[<strong>She’s the baddest girl in town…isn't she?</strong><br/>Sugar Beth Carey's come back to Parrish, Mississippi, and she's brought her reputation for wreaking havoc with her. She's broke, desperate, and too proud to show it, even with her old enemies lining up for a chance to get even. Her former girlfriends have their eyebrow pencils sharpened into lethal points. Winnie Davis, her longtime rival, is fully armed with the money, power, and prestige that had once been Sugar Beth's. But worst of all is Colin Byrne, the man whose career Sugar Beth had destroyed— and not exactly accidentally.<br/><br/>Now Colin's a famous novelist living in Sugar Beth's old mansion, and this modern day dark prince is using his writer's imagination to figure out how to bring the town's beautiful former princess to her knees. But despite her sassy mouth, feisty spirit, and hardheaded ways, Sugar Beth's no longer the spoiled rich girl they all remember. No, now she's a woman to be reckoned with ... and a great big reckonin' is about to happen, not least of all for one dark prince who might—just might—be thinking about falling in love with the wickedest girl in town.<br/><br/>Ain't She Sweet? A funny, heartwarming, oh-so-spicy story of love, friendship, and the possibility of happily-ever-after.]]>

I was very reluctant to pick this up because I really was more towards a Winnie than I was a Sugar Beth and so I felt no sympathy for her even while reading the blurb in inside the jacket. <br/><br/>...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/44720792">more...</a>]]></body>

In fact, I decided to reread all of Susan Elizabeth Phillips' books because they give my brain the sensation of eating chocolate chip cookies.<br/><br/><em>Ain't She Sweet</em> is a big favorite with me because I <em>love</em> an imperfect heroine.

    <body><![CDATA[I didn't think I would like this one but my friend kept nagging me to try it.  Thank goodness I did cause I loved it from the start. At first you hate the heroine, Sugar Beth (what a name) and then as the story moves along, you can't help but come to not only understand her, but love her. Again, the...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/77823497">more...</a>]]></body>

    <![CDATA[<strong>She’s the baddest girl in town…isn't she?</strong><br/>Sugar Beth Carey's come back to Parrish, Mississippi, and she's brought her reputation for wreaking havoc with her. She's broke, desperate, and too proud to show it, even with her old enemies lining up for a chance to get even. Her former girlfriends have their eyebrow pencils sharpened into lethal points. Winnie Davis, her longtime rival, is fully armed with the money, power, and prestige that had once been Sugar Beth's. But worst of all is Colin Byrne, the man whose career Sugar Beth had destroyed— and not exactly accidentally.<br/><br/>Now Colin's a famous novelist living in Sugar Beth's old mansion, and this modern day dark prince is using his writer's imagination to figure out how to bring the town's beautiful former princess to her knees. But despite her sassy mouth, feisty spirit, and hardheaded ways, Sugar Beth's no longer the spoiled rich girl they all remember. No, now she's a woman to be reckoned with ... and a great big reckonin' is about to happen, not least of all for one dark prince who might—just might—be thinking about falling in love with the wickedest girl in town.<br/><br/>Ain't She Sweet? A funny, heartwarming, oh-so-spicy story of love, friendship, and the possibility of happily-ever-after.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[I could relate to Winnie in the beginning of the book (as a high schooler), but then as it went on, the character became sappy.<br/><br/>I did like how her husband had fell in love with her even though she had trapped him.<br/><br/>Sugar Baby seemed vulnerable in the beginning but as the story p...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/55809384">more...</a>]]></body>
