Description
“The queen of the football romance is not Taylor Swift. It’s Susan Elizabeth Phillips.”—Wall Street Journal
#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?

1By OGSuePThis is unlike any other SEP book. Could someone else have written this? It’s choppy, none of the characters are likable or relatable, etc., etc., etc. Just awful.What a ride!
5By Bonobo294This was my first time reading a book by Susan Elizabeth Phillips. I was thoroughly entertained, I laughed out loud and stayed up waaaaaayyyy too late on “school nights” reading this book! LOL! I loved looking up words and expressions online that I had ecnountered in this book. And I really enjoyed the quality editing, which is hard to find anymore. I highly recommend this book for its ideas, its original dialog and its colorful characters.Beautiful as usual
5By mattypattyIIAbsolutely greatSuch a fun read!
5By Oma 3I was holding back reading the Chicago Stars series since I haven’t read any of the previous. Big mistake! Loved it even though this is #10 in the series, definitely ok as a standalone. Love the banner between Rory and Brett. Plus the mystery will keep you guessing whodunnit, but it’s the feisty Rory that kept me turning the pages. I also switched back and forth to the audiobook, that narrator was fantastic! #SimplytheBest #SusanElizabethPhillipsSimply The Best
5By Izzyrox64What a great plot twist to build the story around a murder. Better than your regular dime store amateur detective novel. All the characters are signature SEP quirky 3dimensional lovable people working their way through a rough patch. Loved having some of the old faves make appearances throughout the story too!
