Narrative Concering Books Heaven, Texas (Chicago Stars #2)
Come heck or high water, Gracie Snow is determined to drag the legendary ex-jock Bobby Tom Denton back home to Heaven, Texas, to begin shooting his first motion picture. Despite his dazzling good looks and killer charm, Bobby Tom has reservations about being a movie star — and no plans to cooperate with a prim and bossy Ohio wallflower whom he can’t get off his mind or out of his life. Instead, the hell-raising playboy decides to make her over from plain Jane to Texas wildcat. But nothing’s more dangerous than a wildcat with an angel’s heart in a town too small for a bad boy to hide. And all hell breaks loose when two unforgettable people discover love, laughter, passion — and a match that can only be made in Heaven.

After my umpteenth re-read I still can't find the words to explain just how much I love this book! The story of Gracie Snow and Bobby Tom Denton continues to be a desert island book for me, despite reading it for the first time in college. And my mom's copy, no less. SEP hasn't let me down yet.AUDIBLE edition. Fantastic. Loved it. Bobby Tom - came across as a bit of a country hick at times but I think that was just his "hometown boy" act!!Gracie knew just about as much about American Football as I do!!Great secondary characters ... and an older couple also. Love it.
I usually love her books, and remember loving this one too. But it's been probably 15-20 years since I last re-read it. Your review certainly puts
4 1/2 starsDon't miss out on the epilogue!
3.5**Review contains spoilers!*This book is so silly. Absolutely effin ridiculous. I didn't like the characters or the plot much, TBH. It had all the elements I try to avoid in a book and yet I found this book highly entertaining. I definitely enjoyed it more than the #1. I didn't take this book seriously and because it was so fascinating and amusing in a bizzare way, I'm going with 4*. Rolling with the chick-lit shit.This book is Not safe, IMO. (view spoiler)[The H was making out with women
My first exposure to SEP was Heaven, Texas and, therefore, it has a special place in my heart. This is not just another bad-boy football superstar with a diabolic gleam meets 30 year-old wallflower story. These characters had depth. (view spoiler)[I actually had to call my best friend - who doesn't read romance books, but loves football - and tell her about the scene where Gracie discovers Bobby Tom reviewing the video of his career-ending injury over and over again. I fell in love with him
I've been rereading SEP's books this past month and falling back in love with her novels, as well as catching up on some new ones which I enjoyed immensely.However, "Heaven, Texas" is NOT one of those books. The romance starts off distastefully with Bobby Tom Denton living the life of a rich, shallow, sexist NFL player who treats women like disposable 'sex' objects. Fine, usually this serves as a starting point for the 'hero' who will display inner worth and grow along the way. Instead, Bobby
