About this listen

“The queen of the football romance is not Taylor Swift. It’s Susan Elizabeth Phillips.”—Wall Street Journal

#1 New York Times bestselling author Susan Elizabeth Phillips returns with the next book in her Chicago Stars series where a successful sports agent and the sister of his biggest client engage in a take-no-prisoners battle of the sexes.

Take one hard-driving sports agent…

Throw in a failed chocolatier…

And her superstar football player brother…

Add a quirky pink and purple food truck…

Then, to really screw things up, mix in a very unfortunate murder.

Brett Rivers is the hottest sports agent in the business—fast and furious, swift and deadly. Failure? Not an option.

Rory Garrett is—let’s be honest—a disaster. She has a big heart, an empty bank account, a passion for making exquisite chocolate, and a huge inferiority complex from living in the shadow of Brett’s most important client, her football legend brother.

Brett and Rory should never have met, and they absolutely, positively should never have had to deal with the consequences of one stupid, drunken night…one disastrous lie…one career in jeopardy…one missing football player…and a very dead body.

It’s going to get messy…and dangerous…and heartbreaking…and sexy. To Rory, Brett represents skewed values and a devious mind. To Brett, Rory is forbidden fruit, off limits, do not disturb, and no entry—definitely no entry.

A woman who has succeeded at nothing and a man who’s succeeded at everything confront the challenge of their lives as they struggle with themselves and each other. When it comes to love—what price are any of us willing to pay to be simply the best?

Simply the Best

I loved this book, like all SEPs books, for the character development and the shenanigans the characters get into. The books are fun, believable and still enough whimsy for a great escape. Hard to stop listening. I can't wait to read/listen to the next book.

Susan Elizabeth Philips Delivers

If you love the Chicago Stars novels, you won't be disappointed. The story is cute with a touch of mystery. The characters are loveable. But, Ms. Philips best attribute is her ability to make you laugh outloud. Enjoy the ride.

The several humor had me smiling the whole time!

Susan Elizabeth Phillips has a way with words… Her development of characters through giving us glimpses into their thoughts and
humorous sarcasm makes them all the more real!
