The SEP Read-Along
continues this week with our second re-read title, NATURAL BORN CHARMER!
Last
week's BREATHING ROOM
was a hit with our readers, and Loretta Chase was kind
enough to share with
us her top ten reasons
why BREATHING ROOM is
one of her favorite SEP titles.
Top reader comment from week one's BREATHING ROOM re-read:
"I LOVED this book--the setting and characters were great. SEP
always creates characters you immediately fall for and root
for a happy ending. This may have been the book I officially
made SEP one of my favorite authors."~Sara Edmonds, Texas SEP Fan
This week, we will be re-reading NATURAL BORN CHARMER, and
the fabulous Tessa
Dare will be stopping by tomorrow to share her thoughts on NATURAL BORN CHARMER's
protagonist (and she has an awesome story to share about her, SEP, Eloisa James,
and some pajamas…) So check in tomorrow to find out the details! And remember,
this all leads up to the release of HEROES ARE MY WEAKNESS on
August 26!
About NATURAL BORN CHARMER
Chicago Stars quarterback Dean Robillard is the luckiest man in the world: a
bona-fide sports superstar and the pride of the NFL with a profitable side
career as a buff billboard model for End Zone underwear. But life in the glory
lane has started to pale, and Dean has set off on a cross-country trip to figure
out what's gone wrong. When he hits a lonely stretch of Colorado highway, he
spies something that will shake up his gilded life in ways he can't imagine. A
young woman . . . dressed in a beaver suit.
Blue Bailey is on a mission to murder her ex. Or at least inflict serious
damage. As for the beaver suit she's wearing . . . Is it her fault that life
keeps throwing her curveballs? Witness the expensive black sports car pulling up
next to her on the highway and the Greek god stepping out of it.
Blue's career as a portrait painter is the perfect job for someone who refuses
to stay in one place for very long. She needs a ride, and America's most famous
football player has an imposing set of wheels. Now, all she has to do is keep
him entertained, off guard, and fully clothed before he figures out exactly how
desperate she is.
But Dean isn't the brainless jock she imagines, and Blue— despite her petite
stature—is just about the toughest woman Dean has ever met. They're soon heading
for his summer home where their already complicated lives and inconvenient
attraction to each other will become entangled with a charismatic but aging rock
star; a beautiful fifty-two-year- old woman trying to make peace with her rock
and roll past; an eleven-year-old who desperately needs a family; and a bitter
old woman who hates them all.
As the summer progresses, the wandering portrait artist and the charming
football star play a high-stakes game, fighting themselves and each other for a
chance to have it all.

I love quirky heroines but ones that have heart , soul and a brain....Blue is
one of those. She and Molly have got to be two heroines that have tugged
at my heart every time I read their books or think of books that have stayed
with me a long time. This book has a nice chunk of fun, love and soul. All
the characters have depth , a good story of their own and touched this
reader enough to want more....I hated when this book ended ..... Great
choice Tessa! And I would have also worried about the PJ's! BTW, your
heroines are keepers too!
