"This Heart of Mine" by Susan Elizabeth Phillips
Title: This Heart of Mine
Author: Susan Elizabeth Phillips
Final Thought: Pretty Good
Molly Somerville, who was introduced in the first book in the Chicago Stars / Bonner Family series It Had To Be You as a sullen teenager is now a 20-something young lady and a successful children's author. Molly has a reputation as a bit of an eccentric. How else would you describe a women who gives away her 15 million inheritance? Molly has also had a long-time crush on Kevin Tucker, the star quarterback of the Chicago Stars, the pro-football team her sister owns. Molly isn't exactly thrilled that she has such strong feelings for a guy who's kind of a jerk (my gawd, he hates poodles!), but it's hard to control one's hormonal reactions to someone so pretty. Those hormones eventually throw Molly and Kevin together under the most strained circumstances and neither are too happy about it. As the hostilities get more and more intense between the two... you know it's only a matter of time before things get hot and heavy.
