What I Did For Love by Susan Elizabeth Phillips - Audible Version

What I Did For Love

By Susan Elizabeth Phillips

Audio Edition

☆☆☆☆☆

 

If you are like me and always love getting your

moneys worth, you will get that with this story.

The audible version is 13 1/2 hours long.

Not a minute of it is wasted. There are a lot of

characters, several story lines, a few love stories

and a lot of ridiculousness.

 Georgie and Bram have been a part of each

others lives since they were kids. They starred on

a popular family comedy show. Georgie was

looked after. Her father took care of her and

watched after her money. Now, she has a secure

future. Bram wasted it all. The money and the

success.

Now, they find themselves, together, 

 in quite a pickle.

But how to make it work out well for them?

Can they tolerate each other long enough

to get through this situation? Will Georgie lose

her relationship with her father after all? Will

Bram be able to avoid jail and make a life

for himself?

Julia Gibson does a terrific job on the narration.

 

I borrowed this copy from my library.

First Star I See Tonight - Susan Elizabeth Phillips

First Star I See Tonight

by Susan Elizabeth Phillips

 

A couple years ago, purely by chance, I heard that a

writer I had heard of, but never read, was making an

appearance at a book store, a ways from me. I had not 

lived here very long and not familiar with the area at all.

I called one of the few friends I had made at the time.

And we went to see Susan Elizabeth Phillips.

 

She was hilarious. A fabulous person to go see and I 

highly recommend you do the same if you ever have

the chance.

 

You will then know the person that writes these books!

Fabulous characters. So much to visualize as you read!

But not so much detail that it's boring. I found myself

so deep into the story that I thought I must surely be

living in that neighborhood, that apartment building,

that city. I could see The Spiral in my head as I read.

 

Piper Dove is an interesting one of a kind woman with

no fear. Well, she might be afraid of one thing. But it

surely is not men or hard work.

 

 

Cooper Graham has 'the' life. A successful popular

athlete who retired at the top of his game. Now, men

and women alike line up for the chance to talk with him

or get into his nightclub, The Spiral.

 

 

Coop has never met a woman like Piper. She has no concern

for his fame or fortune. Piper just needs a job and the chance

to do it well. To build a clientele and reputation in the business.

 

First Star I See Tonight is wonderful. Full of feelings and friends.
When it comes right down to it, Coop needs to be tougher and stronger

 than ever before in his life. Piper has to be more brave and trusting than

she has ever been.  

Can they do it? They each will have to follow a path they did

not want and courageously give over if they really

wish to have the love of a lifetime. But can they do it??

 

 

I bought this book used from my library.
