Sports romance is all the rage currently and who better to turn to than Susan Elizabeth Phillips, the godmother of sports romance.
And the Crowd Went Wild is her eleventh book in the Chicago Stars series. The book opens up with Dancy fleeing like Cinderella in a light up dress right into the arms of her high school quarterback prince, Clint. Whom she hasn’t seen since she was a high school senior. He wants nothing to do with her but at the same time he doesn’t feel comfortable turning her away. He gives her one week of refuge but neither expect the feelings from high school to rekindle. Before they can fan the flames they must discuss the past.
I didn’t expect to like Dancy. I was thinking she would be the ho-hum fading actress with no depth looking for her next “take care of me” victim…er um love interest. I was so wrong. She had depth and smarts. By the end I was cheering her on.
The last ten percent of the book had a stranglehold on me. Be prepared once you get there you will NOT put the book down.
Each of the Chicago Stars are written to be read as a standalone. I have only read book ten and eleven and have been fine.
