it was amazing

Read 2 times. Last read January 8, 2021 to January 21, 2021.



I knew I would love this one on audio. Anna Fields is a fabulous narrator and she did a wonderful job giving voice to the characters and making the story even a little more exciting. I feel like I am repeating myself about her! ❤

Ladies, Dan Calebow is sooo dreamy! Goodness every time he called Phoebe darlin I swooned. LOL

And Phoebe aka 'the bimbo' HA! was such a perfect match for him. As I said in my first review this book was FANFREAKINGTASTIC and if you don't give this series a try you are missing out!!!

***********************************
I don't care that this book was first published 20 years ago. Actually I think that is why I thought it was FANFREAKINGTASTIC! Seriously, ladies you will absolutely love Dan Calebow. I sure did.

I hope to get back to do a complete review because this book deserves one. RL is just a bit hectic at the moment.

This one is going on my favorites shelf and I will recommend it to everyone too! It was sexy, sweet and funny.

And Pooh....

“I guess we're oil and water. (Phoebe)

I'd say we're more like gasoline and a blowtorch. (Dan)”
Susan Elizabeth Phillips, It Had to Be You

Susan Elizabeth Phillips
“The door closed behind her (Phoebe), and the two men regarded each other for a moment. Viktor spoke first. "I must have your promise, Coach, that you won't hurt her." Dan: "I won't." Viktor: "You spoke a little too quickly for my taste. I don't quite believe you." Dan: "I'm a man of my word, and I promise I won't hurt her." He flexed his hands. "When I murder her, I'll do it real quick so she won't feel a thing." Viktor sighed. "That's exactly what I was afraid of.”

“You know that we've got a few problems we need to talk through before we get married."

"I'm not getting rid of Pooh."

"See, there you go being antagonistic. Marriage means learning to compromise."

"I didn't say I wouldn't compromise. I promise to take the ribbon out of her topknot before you walk her.”

“Honey lamb, there are a lot of things in this world I feel insecure about. Religion. Our national economic policies. What color socks to wear with a blue suit. But I've got to tell you that my performance in that hotel room last night isn't one of them.”

I'm in love. Yet again. :) Dan Calebow is melting my heart at the moment.

I love all his pet names for Phoebe. And his disdain for Pooh is hilarious.❤

Absolutely LOVING it!!!"

Lye Ah so excited for you Sharon! This is a great series! Although I've read all the books in the series, expect for the first one! I'm saving it for a rainy/bad day where I may need a pick me up. I know that sounds so strange, haha.


Anne OK I've never read a book by Susan Elizabeth Phillips that I didn't enjoy -- some more than others, of course, but still a great time of reading.

Thanks Lye. This would be a perfect book for that rainy or bad day. I was having a pretty crappy week and this book really got me out of my funk! Hope you enjoy it when you get to it. ღ

I adore this series and most of the books just came out on audio in the last year so I was thrilled! That narrator is fantastic. 🥰
