R.S.V.P. to the most riotous wedding of the year . . .

 

Lucy Jorik is the daughter of a former United States president.

 

Meg Koranda is the offspring of legends.

 

One of them is about to marry Mr. Irresistible—Ted Beaudine—the favorite son of Wynette, Texas. The other is not happy about it and is determined to save her friend from a mess of heartache.

 

But even though Meg knows that breaking up her best friend's wedding is the right thing to do, no one else seems to agree. Faster than Lucy can say "I don't," Meg becomes the most hated woman in town—a town she's stuck in with a dead car, an empty wallet, and a very angry bridegroom. Broke, stranded, and without her famous parents at her back, Meg is sure she can survive on her own wits. What's the worst that can happen? Lose her heart to the one and only Mr. Irresistible? Not likely. Not likely at all . . .

My love affair with all things Susan Elizbeth Phillips began about a year ago with Natural Born Charmer. While that is still my favorite book she's ever written, I'm pretty much an SEP whore and will read anything she writes. She's pure comfort food for me. All of her novels follow the same formula: girl meets boy, fight attraction, give in to attraction, major blow up, separtion period, happily ever after. All of SEP's characters are so flawed, so real, and in the progression of one book we see their growth and maturity.

Meg and Ted create a wonderfully creative pair, and they made me laugh, groan and tear-up all in the span of one novel. Meg is incredibly strong, even though she doesn't think it of herself, and she stands up to all sorts of crazy small town antics. Ted is the golden boy, secretly wishing he wasn't, and can do no wrong. They are truly complete opposites, but they somehow just work. They fit together like yin and yang. Chocolate and vanilla.

Call Me Irresistable is another hit for me! I couldn't help but love it.

Since I'm from TX, I just had to share my favorite line:

“This is America. We’re entitled to our opinions.”
“Wrong. This is Texas. And my opinion is the only one that counts.”
