I really, really, enjoyed this book. It was definitely catchy. I drove my husband crazy because I couldn't put it down. If you love a cute romantic comedy, where there's lots of twists and turns before the girl finally gets the guy (or visa versa!), you'll enjoy this.

I loved this book. I had a hard time putting it down, and was disappointed when it ended. I especially loved the Chicago setting and neighborhood details throughout the book, since it is where I live.

Absolutely loved this story. I read it at least once or twice a year. Great by the pool,lake or beach book. The characters are so real and interesting that you want to have them as your friends. Lots of humor, tension,sparks and insight for all involved. A really great read.

I really liked this book. It was the first of Susan Elizabeth Phillips's books that I have read. I liked the way she portrays the characters. Even though the ending was a little predictable, the method she used to get there was what made the story intersting.

It's been a long wait for another SEP book featuring the Chicago Stars, but in this case, it was definitely worth it!

MATCH ME IF YOU CAN centers around Heath Champion, alpha of alphas sports agent who has hired two different matchmaking companies to find him the perfect wife. He hasn't had time to furnish his home, never mind the time to exert a lot of energy into finding the perfect woman.

One of the matchmakers he's hired is Annabelle Granger, who took over her grandmother's old-fashioned business after her death. She's turned it into Perfect For You, and she needs to succeed in finding Heath a wife to get her business on the map.

What follows, of course, is a wacky, laugh-out-loud story revolving around Heath and his search for a perfect woman who just doesn't exist; Annabelle's search to find independence and self-suffiency away from her meddling parents and brothers; the downfall of Portia Powers, who runs rival Power Matches; and the salvation of Bodie, Heath's right-hand man. Interspersed with characters from previous SEP books such as Dan & Phoebe Calebow, Kevin & Molly Tucker and their adorable daughter Pippi, and other past and present Stars players add to the fun of MATCH ME IF YOU CAN.

The ending is predictable, of course, when Heath realizes that his perfect match is Annabelle. But the getting there is well worth reading, and the last chapter or so is a tear-jerker.

Pick up a copy today--you definitely won't be disappointed!
