Susan Elizabeth Phillips

What makes a family?

Take a famous, gorgeous quarterback, a woman on the move, a former rock star groupie, an aging rock star that still makes the women take a second look, an 11 year old girl and a mature woman with a nasty disposition that owns a town, stir briskly and what do you have?

I'm a huge fan of Susan Elizabeth Phillips but it took me three  attempts to get past the first chapter of Ain't She Sweet.  The heroine is not instantly likeable although it was obvious she was going to make an impact.  I think perhaps it was the realisation of just how much she was going to have to go through to make it to her hea that held me back.

A story about two women that have and are paying the price for the sins of the father.

Gracie Snow, an innocent country girl, is determined to track down Bobby Tom Denton, and drag him back home to Heaven, Texas, to begin shooting his first motion picture. But taming an egotistical cowboy in a '57 T-Bird is more than Gracie's soft demeanor and heart can handle.

Rachel Stone's bad luck has taken a turn for the worse. With an empty wallet, a car that's spilling smoke, and a five-year-old son to support, she's come home to a town that hates her. But this determined young widow with a scandalous past has learned how to be a fighter. And she'll do anything to keep her child safe-even take on a man with no heart.

Kit Weston originally travels to New York to kill one Baron Cain, who stands between her and her home, Risen Glory.  But Kit's not yet realized that killing a man is harder than it seems, no matter how much hatred is in your heart.

Meantime, Baron Cain catches her trying to kill him and sends her off to finishing school to acquire some manners.

A love story that centers around the early days of the Silicon Valley high tech industry and the birth of the personal computer.
