Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
It wasn't every day a guy saw a headless beaver marching down the side of a road, not even in Chicago Stars quarterback Dean Robillard's larger-than-life world. He slammed on the brakes of his brand-new Aston Martin Vanquish and pulled over in front of her.
The beaver marched right past, her big, flat tail bouncing in the gravel, and her small, sharp nose stuck up in the air. Way up. The beaver looked highly pissed . . .
She was definitely a girl beaver because her beaver head was missing, revealing sweaty, dark hair pulled into a scraggly ponytail. He'd been praying for a little distraction from his own depressing company, so he threw open the door and stepped out onto the shoulder of the Colorado road . . .
Funny, sexy, and touching—Natural Born Charmer is the unforgettable love story of a golden boy who might be losing his luster and a spirited woman who's learned never to depend on anyone but herself.

I have been a SEP fan for several years. However, with each of her recent books she has chosen to insert more and more personal political points of view through her characters until that's now the story. I read a novel to get away from that. It pulls the reader out of the story and into the New York Times.

This is my very first SEP book, and I wasn't disappointed. Was a bit leery at very first (main female character in a beaver suit??), but found I couldn't put the book down. Fast-paced and funny, solid writing. Blue and Dean were both interesting characters I wanted to find out more about, and I also enjoyed the secondary characters. Very humorous and warm story. I look forward to reading more books by this author.

Blue Bailey has played the sucker for love role one too many times. On the two occasions where her ex-boyfriend Monty professed his undying love to her, Blue's left everything behind, and packed up her belongings to follow her guy wherever he would go. Unfortunately, the second time she's made the move, she was hit with a nasty surprise. It seems that Monty has made himself at home in a new town and with a new woman. Now she has to pick up the pieces of her broken heart - and bank account.
Blue is certain that she will have to make do in the state of Colorado where she has no friends or family to lean on for help or support - that is until she meets Chicago Stars quarterback Dean Robillard.
While driving, on his way to Tennessee, Dean catches Blue who is dressed as a headless beaver, pacing down the highway. This comical scenario peaks his interest, so he stops and offers her a ride. Pride already in shreds, she realizes that she has no other option and decides to unwillingly go with this gorgeous stranger who irritates her from the very beginning.
Throughout their travels, they bicker and fight to the death and you begin to think no two individuals are more wrong for each other than they are. But, as the story moves forward, we begin to see that the two of them suffer from painful pasts and trust issues that causes them to react the way that they do.
I got so much more from NATURAL BORN CHARMER than a romance. It's a story that also speaks of forgiveness, moving on and the importance of family. It isn't easy to tie in serious themes with light hearted comedy - but that's what makes SEP a great author.

I love to read. Moreover, I love to read romantic comedies. So I am at a loss as to why it took me so long to discover an author who, for good reason, has had legions of loyal fans for years! I was very first introduced to Susan Elizabeth Phillips (or SEP which those of us "in the know" [wink, wink] like to call her) a couple of years ago when `AINT SHE SWEET' was very first published. I bought it, I loved it. I then could not wait for her subsequent book `MATCH ME IF YOU CAN' which immediately became one of my all time favorite books. So it was obvious that when `NATURAL BORN CHARMER' came out I ordered it on the spot. Regretfully it took me almost a year to the day of purchasing it to actually read it, but let me tell you it was well worth the wait!
SEP has a way of creating characters that her readers genuinely care about, a story that engulfs you and can weave a tale of romance that will leave even the ficklest of readers wanting more, and more, and more. In `NATURAL BORN CHARMER' she reintroduces us to Dean Rolbillard star player for the Chicago Stars football team who, in search of a much needed respite from the chaos of his everyday life, heads down to his Tennessee vacation home. He soon meets Blue Bailey who is also in need. She needs a roof over her head, a job and time to sort out the mess her life has become. These two soon find out that they have more in common than an instant attraction. They both come from similar childhoods and they both are stubborn, headstrong and not willing to give an inch. All of which makes this novel a ton of fun.
At the heart of this story, yes, it is a romance but there is so much more to it than that. It is about family, reconciliation, willingness to forgive and being able to look past some serious rough edges in order to see the good in people. All of which may sound a bit cheesy but believe me SEP makes it work.
I have a list of "go to authors" as I like to call them. They are the authors that I can always count on to produce quality work, who I know will never let me down. Now Susan Elizabeth Phillips, you my friend, are definitely on that list, I thank you.

Have never read this author before. A friend gave me this book. I have to say, I laughed out loud many times reading this book. Especially the beginning chapters. The author writes with humour and is very descriptive. I had a visual of everything going on. I loved the book. I also liked the fact that the woman character wasn't some terrific beauty and how the relationship between her and "Boo" developed.
