Simply the Best by Susan Elizabeth Phillips

Chicago Stars (Book 10)

Avon (February 13, 2023)

Women’s Fiction/Rom Com

#1 New York Times bestselling author Susan Elizabeth Phillips returns with the next book in her Chicago Stars series where a successful sports agent and the sister of his biggest client engage in a take-no-prisoners battle of the sexes.

Take one hard-driving sports agent…

Throw in a failed chocolatier…

And her superstar football player brother…

Add a quirky pink and purple food truck…

Then, to really screw things up, mix in a very unfortunate murder.

Brett Rivers is the hottest sports agent in the business—fast and furious, swift and deadly. Failure? Not an option.

Rory Garrett is—let’s be honest—a disaster. She has a big heart, an empty bank account, a passion for making exquisite chocolate, and a huge inferiority complex from living in the shadow of Brett’s most important client, her football legend brother.

Brett and Rory should never have met, and they absolutely, positively should never have had to deal with the consequences of one stupid, drunken night…one disastrous lie…one career in jeopardy…one missing football player…and a very dead body.

It’s going to get messy…and dangerous…and heartbreaking…and sexy. To Rory, Brett represents skewed values and a devious mind. To Brett, Rory is forbidden fruit, off limits, do not disturb, and no entry—definitely no entry.

A woman who has succeeded at nothing and a man who’s succeeded at everything confront the challenge of their lives as they struggle with themselves and each other. When it comes to love—what price are any of us willing to pay to be simply the best?

REVIEW

I enjoyed this enemies-to-lovers, family drama, with a murder mystery. Has snarky humor and a great cast of characters. My first book by this author and will check out the previous books in the series. Good read.

What if a woman who knows nothing about sports inherits a professional football team?

You’ll meet quarterbacks who’ve have lost their way and fascinating women struggling to find their own paths. You’ll get to know a desperate young mother, a penniless artist, a brilliant physicist, and a woman who writes bunny books. There will be sports agents and matchmakers, detectives and divas. You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. You’ll fall in love all over again. (No playing experience required.)

Welcome to the world of the Chicago Stars.
