First romance in awhile where I didn't have to check the end to make sure I would enjoy the story. I think I'll like this series and it makes another fine addition to the Phillips' canon.
Sam Cooper, known to his friends and family as "Coop," is a reporter who foils a bank robbery and is allowed to choose a ring as his reward. He doesn't want to but is pressured into choosing a ring that, after some research, it's discovered was part of a robbery in the fifties. Not knowing the his More...

I happened upon this read following one of our fellow bloggers sites. I figured I'd give it a try coming from one of the reviewers we respect. It's not in the usual paranormal genre, but I enjoy a good read.
I had never read Carly Phillips before, but I can tell you I will be again!!! This read was definitely one I didn't put down. It was quick-witted and full of fun romance. I finished it in about 4 hours.

You know sometimes it is difficult to know how to review a book because of what is happening in your life. I read this book while a relative was in the hospital, and I was staying up there at least 20 hours a day. I found the book very easy to read and I was never bored. But when I put it down I wasn't compelled to pick up it again immediately. But I can't think of any book that would have overcome my worry and exhaustion.

You know the saying: "Guys don't make passes at girls who wear glasses." That's not the case when Coop meets Lexie for the first down. He's instantly attracted to her which will help working with her investigating the ring he recieved as an award that much easier. Lexie and Coop are complete opposites; she likes to travel and tries to be a free spirit like her grandmother. She doesn't even have her own place. Coop is settled, not very adventurous and doesn't take chances. But they one

Carly Phillips's books are always a fun read and this one is no exception. Coop and Lexie are fantastic characters, and I love their interactions. A bored reporter by day, novelist by night, Sam Cooper (Coop) foils a jewelry store robbery and is given a ring as a reward. Turns out this ring has a past--and Lexie Davis recognizes it as a match for her grandmother's favorite necklace. She sets out to buy it from Coop but he's already tracking its history and has found out it was reported stolen ma

Lately Carly Phillips' books have disappointed me a little. This one was way too predictable--not that I need a romance novel to surprise me in any way, they normally don't, but this one was way over-the-top preditable, almost like a math equation (you need this + this to = a romance). I didn't really feel the chemistry between the characters and it kind of bothered me that they basically just argued the whole time about their different lifestyles. I know they needed some obstacles, but if you'r

I've never described myself as a fan of the romance genre so perhaps what I'm about to say should be taken with a grain of salt...
One thing this book has got going for it is that it's an easy read; it's rare that I actually finish a book in one sitting. Also, I've got to admit Phillips is good at writing scenes fraught with romance and love. Unfortunately that is where my praise ends.

I enjoyed this book. Sam Cooper is so original... and every bit of a man that a gal would love to have and the best thing is he's not afraid to admit he's wrong. The interactions between Sam & Lexie are filled with emotions that one can personally relate to. It's so easy to pick up the book and just read it through.
Lexie's grandmother and friend added additional fun & humor to the story. Everyone expects a good ending to a romance story and this was no exception, just that that good e More...

Chapter 1 - hate the heroine. Clearly, we're off to a good start! There's a time/space continuum error that's irritates me...just because books are written by "word" people doesn't mean that they shouldn't be able to do basic math. I consider the subtraction of 5 from any number to be basic math. *in a huff*

A couple of characters with a bit of depth and background to them, decently written dialog, a bit of mystery, and nobody who is TSTL. Combine those ingredients and what do you get? A decently written light contemporary romance that earns 3.75 stars from me. Well into the 'Really Liked It' range.
Coop is the crime beat newspaper reporter who is a bit of a homebody. Lexi is the world traveler with daddy issues. And yet they somehow manage to work it out in the end.

While I appreciate a man that makes good coffee and omelets, works a full-time job and still finds time for mind-blowing sex (hell that's why I got married), I have to admit that Charlotte was the character that sucked me into this book. I literally could not put this one down. I loved "Coop". He has joined the list of Mr. Perfects. And I think I love that she is flighty geek and he falls for because of that (kind of). Great story, thoroughly entertaining.

A fresh, fun romance, though maybe a tick below four stars (I wish Goodreads gave us a better rating system). Great characters, interesting back story, though I felt stupid for not seeing one plot point coming. The "what does each character stand to lose" factor never escalated quite enough, which lost some ratings points. Also, the fact that the idea of compromise seems not to exist was bothersome, though I had that same problem with my own book.

Carly Phillips was one of the first romance authors I read and this book was just OK. The characters didn't jump off the page and they were kind of ordinary with ordinary lives but nothing outstanding to draw me in. The romance of the story was well-written but something felt off the entire time.
An easy, light read if that's what you're looking for.

Great smutty romantic interlude for between depressing tomes about the end of American democracy and the pointlessness of progressive striving. Also I'm researching to write one of my own. Since when is a woman's vagina called "a sheath," I ask? Dear GAWD. Surely one can do better with that! And no one PULSED. I was very disappointed. Loved the older woman character and the completely unrealistic ending.

I liked this book at the beginng, then it got a little irritiating. I didn't like the grandmother at all, she was manipulative and unremorseful. Lexie and Coop's miscommunications and hang-ups were too exaggerated to be believable. In fact the whole "poor, misunderstood Lexie, so different than her family" was just lame.
