What I Did for Love

In Susan Elizabeth Phillips' What I Did for Love, the 4th installment in the Wynette, Texas contemporary romance series, this novel would make your heart melt and root for the underdog.  Ever since Georgie York's ex-husband made news with his latest squeeze, all she wanted was someone to love her and have a baby of her own. The comedic movies she'd made had  became flops. As a former child star from a well-loved sitcom series, she became a household name under the tutelage of her widower father Paul York. Everything's been busy and unloved between them. When she came up with a proposal to make her own headlines to her friend Trevor, her former co-star Bram Shepard came into her life. He's been known to be problematic and aggressive and the sole resason why the show was canceled years ago. When she went to Vegas to seek solace, Bram folowed her there. After a couple of drinks, they wound up married and surprised Hollywood.  Between the two of them, they had a convenient marriage, when Bram had cleaned up his act and wanted to produce an indie film, while Georgie wanted to step out on her own, be her own person, and be behind the camera. In order to make things work, they had to deal and tolerate with each other, while they slowly fell in love with each other and later get married with each other for real love.

This was a beautiful contemporary romance novel. I instantly cared for Georgie and Bram's love affair as well with her father's with her aunt Laura found love with each other. I'e also grown to love Chaz in her own unique way. This moved my heart and pulled at my heartstrings. They were some tender moments with a hint of humor that made me laugh and smile.  I loved the California location and the vivid scenes for the settings. This would make you find a second chance in romance--or your first one--and be enchanted from start to finish with drama, a hint of action, romance, and a sprinkle of intrigue.

Glitter Baby

In Susan Elizabeth Phillip's Glitter Baby, the 3rd installment in the Wynette Texas woman's fiction novel series, this story will warm your heart for this contemporary/historical romance.  You've been swept into the world of Fleur Savager and her life, past and present. This took us back to the 1960s and 1970s for a historical romance twist for some homegrown nostalgia with her own upbringing. All her life, people think she was special and beautiful. But to her, she was nothing but that, since there was something different about her. From a French convent and rushed into the limelight of modeling and acting, her father Alexi have treated her differently throughout this time. We saw her struggles with her career and on her love life, as she was grown up to become a most formidable and powerful opponent against him. There was a strong chemistry between her and Jake Koranda, a movie star in his own right, when they've been through hell and back to get back together. And when she learned a terrible family secret and her father's motives, she made a career of her own and became closer to her brother than before, who'd been awfully mistreated as well. Root for Fleur and Jake, the underdogs for this novel from start to finish with a most satisfying happy ending.

This was a charming and delightful woman's fiction novel that would tug at your own heart strings.  You'll be enchanted to learn about her life story and how she came into the world with struggles and heartaches of her own. I cared about Jake and Fleur's growing romance and despise her father and maybe her mother in its own way. I loved the vast locations from Europe to the USA for the various scenic settings in this gripping novel. You would fall in love with Fleur's story, since this had all the right fixings of romance, drama, action and intrigue, from start to finish.
