#1 New
York Times bestseller Susan Elizabeth Phillips returns to her beloved
Chicago Stars series with a romance between a Chicago Stars quarterback and one
of the world’s greatest opera singers—and a major diva.
“Re-entering
the world of the Chicago Stars is like a beloved friend come to call.” — #1 New York Times bestselling author Robyn Carr
Thaddeus Walker Bowman Owens, the backup quarterback for the
Chicago Stars, is a team player, talented sideline coach, occasional male
underwear model, and a man with a low tolerance for Divas.
Olivia Shore, international opera superstar, is a driven
diva with a passion for perfection, a craving for justice, too many secrets—and
a monumental grudge against the egotistical, lowbrow jock she’s been stuck
with.
It’s Mozart meets Monday Night Football as the temperamental
soprano and stubborn jock embark on a
nationwide tour promoting a luxury watch brand. Along the way, the combatants
will engage in soul-searching and trash talk, backstage drama and, for
sure, a quarterback pass. But they’ll also face trouble as threatening
letters, haunting photographs, and a series of dangerous encounters complicate
their lives. Is it the work of an overzealous fan or something more sinister?
This is the emotional journey of a brilliant woman whose
career is everything and a talented man who’ll never be happy with second
place. Tender and funny, passionate and
insightful, this irresistible romantic adventure proves that anything can
happen…when two superstars collide.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Phillips's captivating ninth Chicago Stars romance (after First Star I See Tonight) explores the surprising compatibility between an athlete and an opera singer in the midst of a twisty mystery. Olivia Shore, a famed soprano, and Thad Owens, the backup quarterback for the Chicago Stars, are paired together on a monthlong promotional tour for a luxury watch brand. Olivia initially sees Thad as a "brainless, overpaid jock" while Thad views Olivia as a stuck-up diva—but the ambitious, career-driven pair soon discover they're more alike than they thought. When Thad learns Olivia has been receiving threatening messages, he makes it his mission to help her. Impossibly, the threats seem to come from Olivia's ex-fiancé, who recently died by suicide, and Olivia's fear and guilt has caused her to lose her voice. As she and Thad fight, flirt, and investigate, their attraction becomes undeniable, but both worry about what a future together would mean for their careers. The thrilling suspense plot and intoxicating chemistry will hook new readers and returning fans alike. This is a page-turner.

Great story
Once again in this series the author has written a perfect rom-com. I loved the way their story evolved and of course came to the best conclusion.
The humor is great and all the characters are so like able.
Possibly Her Best Book Yet
Loved the characters and how they were so in touch with their feelings. I’ve read this twice and I am sure the third reading will be just as enjoyable as the first two.
