  <default_description>Chicago Stars quarterback Dean Robillard is the luckiest man in the world: a bona-fide sports superstar and the pride of the NFL with a profitable side career as a buff billboard model for End Zone underwear. But life in the glory lane has started to pale, and Dean has set off on a cross-country trip to figure out what's gone wrong. 

When he hits a lonely stretch of Colorado highway, he spies something that will shake up his gilded life in ways he can't imagine. A young woman . . . dressed in a beaver suit. 

Blue Bailey is on a mission to murder her ex. Or at least inflict serious damage. As for the beaver suit she's wearing . . . Is it her fault that life keeps throwing her curveballs? Witness the expensive black sports car pulling up next to her on the highway and the Greek god stepping out of it. 

Blue's career as a portrait painter is the perfect job for someone who refuses to stay in one place for very long. She needs a ride, and America's most famous football player has an imposing set of wheels. Now, all she has to do is keep him entertained, off guard, and fully clothed before he figures out exactly how desperate she is. 

But Dean isn't the brainless jock she imagines, and Blue&amp;#8212;despite her petite stature&amp;#8212;is just about the toughest woman Dean has ever met. They're soon heading for his summer home where their already complicated lives and inconvenient attraction to each other will become entangled with a charismatic but aging rock star; a beautiful fifty-two-year-old woman trying to make peace with her rock and roll past; an eleven-year-old who desperately needs a family; and a bitter old woman who hates them all. 

As the summer progresses, the wandering portrait artist and the charming football star play a high-stakes game, fighting themselves and each other for a chance to have it all. 

&lt;i&gt;Natural Born Charmer&lt;/i&gt; is for everyone who's ever thought about leaving their old life in the dust and never looking back. Susan Elizabeth Phillips takes us home again . . . and shows us where love truly lives. </default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Love it. Susan Elizabeth Phillips has the uncanny ability to make super star rockers and mega-rich and talented football players seem like real people with real problems like the rest of us, all delivered with punchy lines and sassy women. And really, how many books start with a beaver-costumed hero...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/16025343">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This was the first of her books that I've ever read. Considering how I tend to not enjoy contemporary romances (don't really know why), it was surprising that I even bothered choosing this book. It was a spur of the moment decision (or more like, it was available at my school library and needed a fi...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/60832302">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[At the annual ALA convention (this year, held where I live) I got a chance to hear Susan Elizabeth Phillips talk about her life and work and how the women in her family are long lived and have children later on. Her grandmother was born the year the civil war ended! How cool is that!<br/><br/>She ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/60420470">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This was definitely a charmer!  The characters are sympathetic, self-aware, humorous, flawed, and the story keeps moving.  I really enjoyed it, and will look for more by this author. ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[It started off very promisingly. I enjoyed the bantering between our hero and heroine, even if I didn't actually *like* either of them. (On the other hand, they did seem moderately realistic as human beings unlike many heroes/heroines in romances.) And while the plot was completely unrealistic and w...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/54074382">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Randomly chose this as an audio book at the library.

This started off rather interesting - wit...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/66379627">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I loved everything about this book, well maybe except the sex. A lot of romance and build up...and then it is very vanilla. Not that the sex scenes all have to be pornographic, but there was so much heat building up to them. <br/>I loved Blue and even the &quot;too pretty for his own good&quot; Dea...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/41723321">more...</a>]]></body>
