Natural Born Charmer (Chicago Stars, #7)

by Susan Elizabeth Phillips

When millionaire Dean Robillard meets Blue Bailey, she couldn't be more down on her luck; her ex has stolen all her money and she's got no place to go. A football hero, Dean is taking a holiday while recovering from a career-threatening injury. He'd planned a solo road trip to get his head together. The last thing he needs is a damsel in distress tagging along for the ride. However, despite Dean's misgivings the two find themselves thrown together and soon Blue has moved into his home and is merrily turning his world upside down. Their attraction is mutual but can their relationship really survive when the only other thing they have in common is their distrust of love?

Some really funny stuff overshadowed by too much angst and abs. The Jack Patriot stuff made me sprain a muscle cringing. The old curmudgeonly Nita Garrison is the best part and almost worth a book of her own.

Just ignore the cover. The main character is first seen in a beaver suit for crying out loud and believes clothes should be more for comfort than style and I loved her. While she did compromise for him, she remains quite true to herself throughout and in fact he brings out the best in her, like she does with him. The two of them don't have it easy because they both have trust issues but they do create an interesting relationship and friendship.

Would recommend it in a heartbeat. There are some very predictable parts but overall it was a great fun read.
