Summary: Only because I finished it, but really didn't want to!
Comment: It is just too corny- not believable. I cannot believe this is a best selling book- maybe for 12 year olds, but not for adults. The plot is too simplistic and though the hero is great, it just doesn't ring true. Save your money for Jude, SEP, Girls of Summer or Sweet Hush by Deborah Smith. Don't waste your money; you will be sorry.
two stars only because I finished it. I gave it to my sister who also said it was the worst book she's read in ages, and she reads a book a day!

Summary: Simply HOT, SEXY, and SEDUCTIVE
Comment: Carly Phillip's third installment of the SIMPLY series is a winner with me. We knew after SIMPLY SINFUL that Grace was the next person Emma Montgomery was turning her matchmaking eye towards. Grace has been living in New York off her trust fund when she realizes that she cannot put her parent's expectations behind her. So, learning from her brother, she stops taking money from her trust fund and finds a job helping people. She is hired as a photographer to create a brochure that will show how poorly some children live. This is tricky because Grace wants to show the kid's potential while touching people with her pictures so they will give generously to the fund. In order to accomplish her goal, she has another job to supplement her income. She must also travel to areas most people consider dangerous in New York to get her pictures. Grace has done this without the knowledge of her family. As a result of her tight lips her grandmother, Emma, is concerned over her welfare.
Emma hires a P.I., Ben Callahan, to keep an eye on Grace. Emma isn't looking for personal details but rather a report that Grace is happy and safe in her life. Ben needs the extra money to help his ill mother move into an assisted living facility. Ben takes residence in the apartment across from Grace. There is an instant attraction when they first meet. This book showcased the chemistry better than the last two books in the series.
As for Grace, she is trying to go beyond her comfort zone. She feels an attraction to Ben and decides to do something about it. She is cute as she tries to play off the sexy vixen when she really is a sweet and down-home kind of person. Grace finds Ben tagging along with her as she goes into the neighborhoods to take her pictures. On one particular day, she is attacked and told not to return or she will be seriously hurt. This starts a minor mystery that brings Ben and Grace closer together. Grace is happy to have found someone who wants to be with her because of who she is and not what family she belongs to. Lots of tension breaks out when Grace finds out the truth about how Ben came into her life.
I enjoyed the way this relationship unfolded. Two adults who felt something and let things go naturally. They do average activities like washing a car and turn it into a sensual chore. This is the best of the series to date and maybe we will find Emma working her magic again sometime soon.

Summary: OH WOW
Comment: The "Simply" series was my first Carley books to read . I love her fast paced stories. They are the kind that grab you and dont let go till long after the end. I loved all three books, but I would have to say that this one is my favorie. It is very sensual and had me turning the pages so fast it took only about two hours for me to read the aweseome story. Ill be looking for any other titles by Carley and snatch them up as fast as possible. I cant wait for what she has in store for us next.
