My New Favorite Book

July 22, 2019

I loved this book so much that I bought the paperback as soon as I finished the eBook. Truthfully, I read both books in the Bonner Brothers part of the Chicago Stars series over the weekend, about 750 pages of Susan Elizabeth Phillips goodness. Like Nobody's Baby But Mine, Dream a Little Dream is filled with everything I love. Wonderful family dynamics, fantastic dialogue and banter between characters, and an honest, real relationship. What stood out for me in this book was how well Phillips...

SEP at her best!

In order to conduct her search, she must outwit the current occupant of her former home,...

This is also everything the current book offered, in loads. This time the emphasis, however, was on the angst (less so on the humour), which I don’t...

A Story of Love After Loss

January 21, 2014

DREAM A LITTLE DREAM is the fourth novel in Phillips' Chicago Stars series. It doesn't actually deal with the Chicago Stars team, but rather is a spin-off of NOBODY'S BABY BUT MINE. DREAM A LITTLE DREAM is the story of Gabe Bonner, the younger brother of Cal Bonner in NOBODY'S BABY BUT MINE. Two years ago, Gabe suffered the loss of his beloved wife and son in a car crash. If not for his family, Gabe would have nothing to live for. He has abandoned everything in his life and is merely existing....
