Call Me Irresistible audiobook

I'm slowly getting out of my reading slump. Enemies to lovers, banter, sassy heroine, non-abusive male lead, small town shenanigans. All my favorite tropes in one book? SIGN ME UP. Don't worry, this is not a love triangle. If that were the case, I would've rage quit. Speaking of love triangles… My teenage self used to think Twilight was the greatest book ever written. Thankfully, my taste in literature has evolved. but not by much Meg Koranda is the daughter of Jake Koranda and Fleur Savagar from Glitter Baby. She also appeared in What I Did for Love. Ted Beaudine, the son of Dallas Beaudine and Francesca Day, was featured in Fancy Pants and Lady Be Good. Lucy Jorik is the adopted daughter of Nealy Case and Mat Jorik from First Lady. Welcome to the cinematic (or should I say literary) universe of Susan Elizabeth Phillips. “This is America. We’re entitled to our opinions.”“Wrong. This is Texas. And my opinion is the only one that counts.” Call Me Irresistible is one of my favorite books, hands down. It's 10 Things I Hate About You meets Pride & Prejudice meets Sweet Home Alabama meets Runaway Bride. Meg's life is in a downward spiral. She's broke, jobless, and completely directionless. She makes the long drive to Texas to fulfill her duties as a bridesmaid at her best friend's wedding. Upon meeting Mr. Irresistible, Meg takes an instant dislike to the groom-to-be, and doesn't think he's the right man for her friend. Meanwhile, Lucy is having second thoughts about her upcoming nuptials. She pulls a runaway bride, Ted gets stood up at the altar, and Meg becomes public enemy No 1. Broke? Check.No job? Check.Stranded in a new town with no friends and family? Check.Surrounded by hot, angry Texans? Double Check.Meg needs to find a job, stay out of trouble (unlikely) and avoid her best friend's ex-fiancé (highly unlikely). He wants her out of his town. She'll leave when she's good and ready. Mr. Perfect vs Miss Imperfect. *Marvin Gaye playing softly in the background*A book is only as good as its protagonist. One of the reasons I stopped reading romance novels was because they became… generic and boring. It's the same formula over and over again. Nothing ruins a romance novel faster than a weak heroine. My tolerance for this BS ended a long time ago. So here I am, re-reading Call Me Irresistible for the millionth time. Meg is messy, imperfect, stubborn, free-spirited, kind-hearted, loyal, and utterly cool. She is the epitome of an anti-Mary Sue. “Mr. Perfect on the outside. Dr. Evil on the inside.” Let's talk about Ted Beaudine, aka my fictional husband. Ted is handsome, sexy, highly intelligent, nice (to everyone but Meg Koranda), multiskilled, versatile, and considerate (unless you're Meg). He's an inventor, environmentalist, and occasional golfer (I can overlook this one flaw). He is also the mayor of Wynette, Texas. I'm not even from Texas but I'd vote for him. (if anyone knows a man like this let me know)To quote TLC, I don't want no scrub, a scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me. Ted is definitely not a scrub. We need more male leads like him. No one does enemies to lovers better than Mrs. Phillips. I adore her wit and sass. A quasi-sequel called “The Great Escape” follows the adventures of Ted's runaway bride, Lucy. Not a fan tbh. Lucy was awesome in First Lady but she's kind of annoying in TGE. No shade, just my opinion. In the words of Forrest Gump, that's all I have to say about that. “You were my best friend's fiancé! And if that's not good enough, don't forget that I basically hate you.” He hit her full force with those golden brown eyes. “You basically like me, too. Not your fault. It just happened.”“I'm going to make it un-happen.” My Call Me Irresistible playlist: Nirvana – About A GirlPearl Jam – BlackAlice In Chains – Love, Hate, LoveGuns N' Roses – You Could Be MineRoxette – Spending My TimeMelanie Martinez - Pacify HerIndila - Dernière DanseThe Midnight – SunsetThe Midnight – Los AngelesFlorence and the Machine – Never Let Me GoThe Verve – Bittersweet SymphonyRuth B – Dandelions (slowed+reverb+lyrics)Carla Morrison – DisfrutoHIM – Resurrection Arctic Monkeys – Do I Wanna KnowMatthew Mayfield – Follow You DownLana Del Rey – Blue JeansThe Civil Wars – Poison & WineLewis Capaldi – Rush ft.

5 STARSI’m going to make this short and sweet. SENSATIONAL. Pure SEP gold… as I’ve come to expect it now. I have yet to give her less than full marks on any of her books. This one takes us back to good ole Wynette, Texas, and all of the folks that go along with it. And yes… the one and only…Ted Beaudine. The devastatingly handsome only son and boy genius of the world famous golf champion, Dallas Beaudine and his equally famous and exquisitely beautiful wife, Francesca Day Beaudine. This guy is perfect in every way. Every woman who meets him falls in love with him. Pre-teens crush on him. Old ladies fawn over him. Even the birds sing in his presence and halos of light follow his gorgeous profile. His genius IQ has him saving the environment from the car he drives to the home he lives in. He’s so well known and loved in his home town of Wynette, that they elected him Mayor. “He sounds like Jesus. Except rich and sexy.” “Watch it, Meg. In this town joking about Jesus could get you shot. You’ve never seen so many of the faithful who’re armed.” And just in case that isn’t enough, his lovemaking skills are a thing of legend. Completely unselfish. His mouth and hands perform magic on the female form like he was born to please. He never gets upset, and his good deeds know no bounds.And Lucy Jorik is about to marry him. How she landed this perfect male specimen she’ll never understand. But everyone says they’re perfect together. So why did she leave him at the alter during their highly publicized wedding. The only one who understood what she was feeling was her best friend, Meg Koranda. The daughter of Hollywood royalty, Meg’s life was mess. She’d dropped out of college, she’d traveled to foreign lands, sought adventure at every corner of the earth, and completely fucked up her life. And, now she was fucking up Lucy’s as well.At least that’s how everyone else saw it… After Lucy disappears, she left Meg to clean up the mess she left behind in Wynette. And Meg found herself trapped in a town that hated her. No friends, no money, and no family to dig her out of this colossal disaster. And then there is the wrath of Ted. No wonder he was a legend. He knew exactly how to drive a woman to her maximum sexual pleasure. So why was she so disappointed. I absolutely LOVED Meg’s character. She was tough, quick witted, and completely comfortable in her own skin. Even when she’d lost everything, she’d just suck it up, hold her head up high, and do what she had to do to survive. “Come on, Ted. I’m not exactly the type to be a rich man’s bimbo.”“That’s true.” A world of compassion softened his voice. “Bimbos are generally good-hearted women who are pleasant to be around.”“Spoken from experience, I’m sure. By the way, you may be God Almighty on the golf course, but you’re a lousy dancer. Let me lead.” There were so many hilariously funny scenes in this book, and just as many touching ones.The entire Wynette clan was present in full force, so it will be much better if you’ve read the series in order. “This is America. We’re entitled to our opinions.”“Wrong. This is Texas. And my opinion is the only one that counts.” So many fabulous quotes, and the supporting characters were just fantastic. The final showdown is epic, with the whole town present for the fall of their town hero. There was a epilogue with a lovely HEA. I loved everything about the book. Ok… I guess this wasn’t as short and sweet as I’d intended. Sorry. :) “The sooner we get through this, the sooner I can strip you naked, lose my self control, and humiliate myself again.” Enjoy the book. I’m on to Wynette #7. Lucy’s story!!!

4 ½ stars. Very enjoyable. I didn’t want to stop reading. Fun escape.REVIEWER’S OPINION:The author used a similar plot in several books. Heroine is down on her luck, in an unfriendly place, abandoned by family/friends, has no money. The locals bully, despise and/or humiliate her. She suffers, discovers things about herself, becomes responsible/successful, and finds love. If a reader complains that they’ve read this before, I say “Who cares. It’s a fun story and she does it well.”The first time I read this I was uncomfortable seeing favorite characters from earlier books being mean to Meg. But the second time I read this that didn’t bother me at all - maybe because I knew they would all like her in the end. And the same thing with Ted’s feelings. The first time I read the book, I wanted more of his point of view. But the second time I read it, I was fine with what happened. This book is better the second time.PRIOR BOOKS:I suggest reading the author’s books in the following order for the character flow.5 stars. Glitter Baby. Fleur is a beautiful model living a glamorous life, then has nothing, and then brings herself back to the world, developing brains, strength and relationships along the way. She marries famous actor/playwright Jake. Meg is their daughter who is now 30 and the heroine in this book. Meg’s best friend is Lucy.5 stars. Fancy Pants. Francesca is a rich English girl, whose mother dies leaving her penniless and stranded in the U.S. She gets a job as a cleaning lady for a small town radio station. She marries famous golfer Dallas. Ted is their son, the hero in this book.5 stars. Lady Be Good. Emma is headmistress of a girls’ boarding school in England. She visits the U.S. for two weeks and meets Kenny, a famous bad boy golfer. They marry and live in Wynette, Texas. They are friends with Francesca, Dallas, and Ted.5 stars. First Lady. Cornelia is wife of the U.S. President who dies in office. She meets and marries Matt Jorik a journalist. They adopt orphan Lucy. Cornelia later becomes President. Lucy is now 31 and is engaged to marry Ted in this book. Meg is Lucy’s best friend.4 stars. The Great Escape Lucy Jorik leaves Ted at the altar and runs away. She sees a stranger on a motorcycle Patrick Shade “Panda.” She asks him for a ride. Read this right after First Lady since Lucy has a significant role in both books.STORY BRIEF:Ted is close to perfect, handsome, genius IQ, everyone in town loves him. They made him mayor without asking him. Most females fall in love with him. He is engaged to marry Lucy, daughter of the former U.S. President.Meg has never had a job, dropped out of college, and travels the world for fun. Her famous parents recently cut her off financially, hoping she will become responsible. Meg travels to Wynette, Texas, to be Lucy’s maid of honor. Meg raises some questions which cause Lucy to realize she is not in love. Lucy abandons Ted at the altar and wants Meg to do the explaining. Everyone in town blames Meg, thinking she talked Lucy out of the wedding. Lucy left town, and no one knows where she is. As Meg is checking out of the hotel, she realizes her credit cards have been cancelled. She doesn’t have enough money to pay the hotel. She has over borrowed from everyone she knows, and there is no one she can call. The police chief threatens to put her in jail if she can’t pay her hotel bill. Ted suggests she work it off as a hotel maid, which she does. She is sleeping in her car and has no money for food.Spencer owns a plumbing company. He is looking for a location to open a factory and visits Wynette. The town desperately needs jobs, and everyone in town hopes he will choose Wynette for the factory. Spencer wants to be Meg’s lover and sugar daddy. She does not feel the same and tries to avoid him. Most people in town dislike Meg and have been mean to her, but they want her to be nice to Spencer to get his factory.AUDIOBOOK NARRATOR:Shannon Cochran was pretty good doing this book. But she was awful doing “The Great Escape” (TGE). In TGE she used a weird chipmunk type of voice for many characters. In the beginning of this book CMI she used that weird voice twice: once for Matt Jorik and once for Dallie Beaudine. But after that the narrator didn’t use the weird voice much. I was ok with most of the rest of the book.DATA:Narrative mode: 3rd person. Story length: 385 pages. Swearing language: moderate, including religious swear words. Sexual language: none. Number of sex scenes: 10. Setting: current day mostly Wynette, Texas, with some California and New York. Copyright: 2011. Genre: contemporary romance.OTHER BOOKS:For a list of my reviews of other Susan Elizabeth Phillips books, see my 5 star review of “It Had To Be You.”

Perfect, perfect SEP. Funny, emotional, sexy...with a terrific, quirky heroine and a hero who wouldn't be right for anyone but her. I loved it.

It's a Wynette, Texas series reunion!!!!Call Me Irresistible is the sixth installment in Susan Elizabeth Phillips's adult contemporary romance series titled Wynette, Texas. While this installment is its very own story, it features many characters from the other books in the series. I found these additions to be an unexpected but extremely entertaining treat. Call Me Irresistible was a fun but somewhat complicated story about the woes of finding Mr. Irresistible. Our heroine Meg quickly learns that being with the "perfect" guy isn't all it's cracked up to be. Ms. Phillips dismisses more than that dream in this book though. Other envious situations tackled include the burden of being a town hero and the downside of being raised by rich and famous parents. As always, Ms. Phillips writes humor and romance like nobody's business. If you haven't read anything by her then just pick any random one and get started. You'll love it!My favorite quote:"Sometimes change is what we need. I guess it lets us look at our lives in a new way."The Wynette, Texas series contains the following installments as of February 2016. In my opinion, they can each be read in any order as standalone novels.#1-Fancy Pants#2-Lady Be Good#3-Glitter Baby#4-First Lady#4.5-My Secret Service Valentine#5-What I Did for Love#6-Call Me Irresistible#7-The Great Escape

one of the best books i've read from SEP. read it in less than a day! so love Meg. I hate Lady Emma, Torie and the rest of Wynette here. am definitely going to read this again. and again. and again. haha. S.I.Z.Z.L.I.N.G H.O.T.*****Amazing read! except for those times (which is a lot) when the whole town was ganging up on Meg just because they can (and they will!), it was really enjoyable.Story:somewhat hollywood-y to me. but it worked its charm. hooking up with your best friend’s ex-fiancee after their scandalous jilting-at-the-altar fiasco is super sneaky! the best part: Meg asks Lucy first for permission. lol. i thought it will be the twist of the book but it was not. Lucy was A-OK with it! it really is funny. then falling in love when Meg knew she was just a bootie call. whew. that’s one extra big luggage to carry, dear.Meg:a very lovable character. but i didn’t like it when she can defend other peeps when someone steps on them but not herself. especially when her family is the one doing the stepping on her. i believe that it is done for her benefit (to grow up, take a job and make something out of her life) but it is rather harsh. nevertheless, she did grew up. she’s been changing for the better now but i don’t see why she often pretend to be the same happy-go-lucky girl to everyone when she’s no longer that girl anymore. pity party, perhaps?Teddy:who doesn’t love him? oh, i do! he’s a prick who pretends to be a saint. and how the whole town worships him! and yet i liked it when he responds to Meg’s antics in such an un-saintly way. so the he is not perfect, after all!ultimate high experience:the bootie calls, of course! the author sizzled it with humor and romance all in one plate. wow. it never failed to make me laugh so hard, then go mushy all of a sudden. O_Othe verdict:i haven’t read SEP books recently, but reading this one is worth the catch-up. one of my favorites.

** spoiler alert ** This time he risked messing up her makeup to give her a tender kiss on her lips. “The sooner we get through this, the sooner I can strip you naked, lose my self-control, and humiliate myself again.”He stole another kiss. “You know how much I love you, right?”“I do.”“Good. Hold on to that thought.” He scooped her into his arms, and before she could tell him it was unnecessary—that she’d pulled herself back together and he needed to put her down right this minute. Before she could say any of that, he’d started down the aisle.“This one,” he announced to everybody, “is not getting away.”Again and again I keep coming back to SEP just because I can't get enough her cliche storylines and quirky but hilarious characters. This is the first book I've read from the Wynette, Texas series and it oozed of irresistible chick lit appeal and damn, I loved it. Meg was such a fun and witty heroine and she really made the book come to life. That's exactly how I'd describe this book: lively.If you're thinking this is your typical cliched chick lit book, then you are so right. But oh, how I enjoyed it. It was hard to not appreciate SEP's writing and wit in this one. I was fully sucked in the moment Meg stopped Ted's wedding. Poor Ted hated her guts and I was definitely sticking around to find out how it all turned out. Another winner from SEP for sure. I'm thinking about reading Emma's story next. I hope it's as good as this one.Rate: 5 stars

How have I not heard of Susan Elizabeth Phillips? HOW???? My husband bought this for me at Target instead of another book I'd asked for, but I didn't say anything because he's so awesome and does like a million things for me all the time. I looked at the cover one day, a few weeks after he bought it, thought it was cute, and read the inside jacket flap. I was a little wary because it seemed like I'd have to know all about the characters from other books of Phillips' that I hadn't read, but the book I was trying to read at the time was boring and annoying and so I decided to give it a try.Two hours later, I put this down, let out a whoop! and went on-line to order a bunch of Phillips' other books. I totally get why she's so popular--her characters are all multi-faceted and charming without being too over the top, her love scenes--oh my!!--and she really gets how and why people can become so trapped in who they are that they forget how to be happy.Throughly enjoyable and recommended for "women's fiction" (there has to be a better term!) fans who don't mind sex scenes.I can't wait to read more of her books--and if anyone has any suggestions....

If you are a Susan Elizabeth Phillips fan than this book is a MUST!!It has been so long since I started reading her books that I found it absolutely wonderful to go back and visit past characters. It was like a fun family reunion in Wynette Texas! LOL We get to see Francie & Dallie Beaudine from Lady be Good and Cornelia & Mat Jorik from First Lady and Fluer Savagar & Jake Koranda from Glitter Baby!! Their kids are all grown up now and causing all kinds of trouble of their own in the little town of Wynette. This book was funny, sweet and amazingly romantic in keeping with SEP style!! I am hoping Lucy Jorik's story is next, she needs her HEA too!!

3.5 starsYou never truly expect to like a golf romance let alone find it hot until you see shit like this:Pardon my french but he can use that golf club on my ass any time.The moment Meg set her eyes on Ted Beaudine she quickly realised what type of man he is - the most perfect man alive. A walking saint whose steps cause flowers to bloom and vegetation to prosper. His hair catches light at all the right angles and the sun casts halos over his head. Birds sing when he approaches, women swoon when they catch sight of him and the citizens marvel over his perfect nature.Except for Meg of course. Meg sees right through his saintly bullshit.The problem? Ted isn't just any man but her best friend Lucy's fiance. A fiance who shares about as much fiery passion for Lucy as a dried piece of bread. The good thing is Lucy was no fool and she fully realised the fatal mistake she was about to make, especially after Meg makes it clear that she thinks Ted isn't the man for her. The solution? Lucy runs away leaving Meg with an angry groom. In the eyes of the guests, she is responsible for "polluting" Lucy's brain which caused a broken engagement. Therefore Meg is hated and blamed for every future misfortune by a town that will crucify puppies for barking at their beloved Mayor of Wynette, or who you already know as Ted Beaudine. "He’s the Lamb of God, and I’m the town bad girl.” THIS BOOK WAS PRETTY MUCH A SEP CLASSIC:It resembled Ain't She Sweet? a lot in particular Heroine:➾broke but with an extravagant upbringing -her parents are Hollywood stars-➾hated by a small town but eventually wins them all over➾gives no fucks➾flawed in her own ways -which is a good thing-➾works hard for the things she has➾bad girl with a good heart➾a free spirit, messyHero:➾loved by the entire town -put on a really high pedestal too-➾emotionless -but fakes it well for the public hence his saintly persona-➾initially hates the heroine➾in full control of everything His cool to her hot. His orderly to her messy. Other similarities:➾a lot of gossipy and judgemental women➾heroine forms a friendship with the kid of her enemy➾OM that takes interest in the heroine But I'll choose to ignore the fact that this is a slightly worse version of Ain't She Sweet? and focus on the things that made this book such a damn joy.🛑spoilers from now on🛑THE BANTER. FUCK ME THE BANTER.You know what? It wasn't even so much the banter as it was the heroine's hilarious comebacks. She just kept roasting the hero 50% of the time.Now please buckle up on this magic bus while I take you on a tour of priceless roasts by this bad bitch right there “You’re living here rent free,” he pointed out. “The least you could do is keep beer in the refrigerator for company.” “You’re not company. You’re an infestation. What do you want?” First she calls him an infestation ON HIS OWN PROPERTY. A property that she initially lived in without his consent.Literally no shame whatsoever😂 “Waste of effort, Mr. B. Unless, of course, you’re paying.” “Paying?” “You know. A big wad of twenties on the dresser afterward. Oops . . . I don’t have a dresser. Oh, well, there goes that idea.” ^Now this here is her response after the hero basically eye fucks her💀 “I’m not seriously thinking about going ahead with this,” she said, “but if I were, I’d have a ton of conditions.” “Such as?” “This would only be about sex—no cute pet names, no nighttime confidences. No”—she wrinkled her nose at the idea—“friendship.” Watch her basically tell him that she gonna use him as a sex toy. As Emma searched for the right word, Meg jumped in to help her out. “National humiliation? Public debasement? Looking like a weenie?” “That’s uncalled for,” Torie protested. “Considering you were responsible.” “I’m not the one who dumped his sorry ass,” Meg said. “Why can’t you people get that through your thick heads?” Now we have Meg just piling insult on top of insult about the hero's recent failed engagement THAT SHE LOWKEY CAUSED With lust-fueled strength, she twisted out from under him, threw one leg across his hips, and yanked at the snap on his shorts. “Put up or shut up.” He trapped her wrists. “These stay on until I take them off.” “Why? Are you afraid I’ll laugh?” Don't forget to snap this iconic moment when Ted was trying to be all controlling in bed and Meg basically went He adopted a faraway look. “I sure do miss that woman. Smart. Funny. Sweet. She never gave me a moment’s trouble.” “Gosh, I’m sorry about that. I knew it was boring between you two, but not that bad.” Now she just straight up roasting his past relationship with LucyI'll end the tour on this last note and not a quote: He gave her the most earth shattering, multiple orgasm inducing, ultimate female pleasure, most perfect sex ever.Sounds great right? WRONG! not for Meg it isn't.She went right ahead and got disappointed, pissing him the hell off in the process. That's right sis, take his ego down a notch.The problem was it was too perfect. The foreplay, amount of orgasms, the way he held himself above her was so meticulously calculated that it felt completely disconnected, just like everything about Ted. Meg wanted messy, she wanted him to let go.THE SATISFYING DEVELOPMENTThe hero honestly was nothing special but I still loved the way the author made his "picture perfect" image. It made his unravelling by Meg's hands that much more satisfying.And oh the havoc she brought upon that town and him. He went from not even blinking as his fiance disappeared to being beside himself after Meg did the exact same thing. The town that hated her suddenly missed her, her biggest enemies became her fiercest advocates. THE FRUSTRATING BULLSHIT➾ Lucy was possibly the worst best friend person in existence. That girl left her fiance, disappeared, lost all contact with anyone (except Meg), didn't stand up for Meg when everyone literally attacked and blamed her FOR LUCY'S MISTAKES (idk if she even knew but she should've used her brain and understood who they would blame), didn't show up for months, deadass just abandoned all responsibility. ➾ Francesca - mother of Ted and the heroine from the first book of the series was the most irritating, irrational, blind character in this entire book. Judging by the 1 star reviews on Fancy Pants I am going to take a wild guess and say Francesca was an annoying bitch there too. And yes I know she redeemed herself at the end but that doesn't erase how annoying she isBut all that frustration was worth it because Meg took none of the bullshit Francesca put her through.Eg; When Fran requested Meg as a caterer for her party she never expected her to actually show up, the act was done merely to put her in "her place". Which btw is another similarity with ain't she sweet; the heroine had to cater to her enemies.Well Meg, the bad bitch that she is, showed up with her head held high, ignored the whispering and catered the fuck out of the people that hated her. And of course, we can't forget the hilarious banter they have once Fran basically becomes a Ted x Meg stan: “You’ll see it when everybody else does.” “I don’t understand why you let Kayla see it, but not me.” “Because she’s my fashion consultant, and you’re merely my nagging future mother-in-law.” She gives no fucks really. “Will you marry me, Meg Koranda?” he said as he pulled her into the bathroom. “Definitely. But I’m keeping my last name just to piss off your mother.” “Excellent. Now take off your clothes.” ➾ Guessed all the plot twists beforehand ➾ The scene of their first kiss should've had a better build up➾ Wasn't a fan of the way Meg acted towards Ted at the end. 3 months after his fiance left him Meg confessed her love and left town when he didn't say it back (there were other reasons too but that was the starting one). DON'T PUSH SOMEONE TO CONFESS THEIR LOVE FOR YOU!! Let the person do it in their own time. OVERALLGreat but not the best I've read by this author.PS; I don't think I have ever highlighted so many quotes in my damn life. What I used in this review is not even half of em

I love it when you read a book and it makes you experience a vast array of emotions - smile, laugh, cry, embarrassment for the characters, even to a small degree hate them, but by the time the final page is read, you need to see the main characters get their HEA. Any book that can wring all those emotions out of me gets the 5 star review.Meg Koranda ventures to Wynette Texas for the wedding of her best friend Luck Jorik to Ted Beaudine. It doesn’t take long for Meg to stir things up, but really she was just being truthful when she told her best friend that she shouldn’t marry the God of Wynette, Mr. Perfect himself Ted Beaudine. So when Lucy leaves poor Ted at the alter and makes a quick get away, everyone in town is looking for someone to blame and poor Meg is right in the crosshairs. The town of Wynette sure can hold a grudge.Meg may be the daughter of two very rich and famous people, but since they cut off her access to the family funds, she’s been trying to make ends meet on her own. With a hundred bucks to her name and no way to pay her hotel bill or support herself, Meg plans on making her own quick get away before the good folks of Wynette can lynch her for ruining the wedding of the century. Meg barely makes it to the city limits before the police are hot on her tail and threatening to put her in jail and leading the charge is none other than Mr. Perfect himself Ted Beaudine. I loved Meg. She showed remarkable resilience, determination and a profound sense of loyalty to work her way out of her current predicament. I thought she got the raw end of the deal when the close nit people of Wynette turned on her - but they would do anything to protect their favorite son. With no money, no friends, no family to support her, I couldn’t help but feel for Meg as she was forced to clean bathrooms, go without food and showers and live in her car while she attempted to work off her debt. How can you not feel for the girl? Ted Beaudine is perfect - literally. Birds sing when he goes outside and when the sun shines on him, it looks like he‘s wearing a halo. He never gets mad or displays a negative emotion. He is the town saviour. All the women love him, the men respect him and all the hopes and dreams for the town are riding on Ted’s shoulders. That’s a big burden for one mortal man to carry! So it’s no wonder the folks of Wynette rallied around him when his bride left him at the alter. The only one who didn’t seem all that broken up over his failed marriage was Ted himself.I wasn’t sure how Meg and Ted were ever going to be able to have any kind of relationship given the town’s animosity towards her and the fact that Ted had been set to marry her best friend just a few weeks ago. Meg was the only women around for miles who didn’t practically become catatonic every time Ted was in sight and she certainly challenged Ted at every opportunity. What started out as outright mistrust and anger at each other, to agreeing to use each other to their mutual benefit, SEP developed their relationship slowly and believably. I laughed - the golf caddying scenes were hilarious. I got choked up at Meg’s incredibly forgiving attitude toward the people of Wynette who had shown her nothing but their distain and hostility. She could have blown them and their precious chance to obtain a lucrative new golf course out of the water on more than one occasion and she didn‘t. Meg showed her true character when she could have ruined many lives and she took the high road. I loved her for that.SEP delivers a sexy, funny, heart-warming love story and even though I finished Call Me Irresistible in one day, it was well worth the hardcover cost.
