Summary: Light and Funny!
Comment: If you are looking for a light, humorous romance, this book is perfect. The book focuses on the Chandler Boys (mainly Roman Chandler) and their desperate mother, Raina. Raina claims she has a weak heart in order to get her sons married with children. All three brothers are confirmed bachelors and are reluctant to get married. Roman is the youngest brother and by the loss of a coin toss is propelled to be the first to settle down. Which also means he may have to give up his job as a foreign correspondent. Then Charlotte, the love of Roman's life who got away, enters the picture...
This story is somewhat predictable but very whimsical. Reading this story left me wanting more, so I moved on to The Playboy and then The Heartbreaker.

Summary: Newsman and Stud Loses Bet and Finds Love
Comment: In Carly Phillips book, "The Bachelor," we are introduced to the Chandler brothers. There is Chase Chandler who gave up his dreams to run the small town newspaper when his father died. Then there is Rick, the middle brother, who was previously scorned in love and is a confirmed bachelor. Lastly, Roman is the baby who comes home from his foreign correspondent job when their mother takes ill. Little do they know that Raina plays on their sympathies by letting them believe her condition is much worse than it really is. Her fondest wish is to see her boys settled and have grandkids. The sons have a terrific idea to determine who will be the "lucky" person to fulfill Raina's dream. Roman loses or wins (depending on your point of view).
While back in the town that hasn't changed since he left, Roman starts to scout out potential wives. That's the think about small towns...not much selection. The one person he won't consider is Charlotte Bronson for the role. She was the only one who rejected him in high school. He is still confused by her actions because they had chemistry. Charlotte's father had dreams of making it in Hollywood and left the family behind to pursue his dreams. He came back after long absences only to leave again. Roman's plan is to find a wife that won't mind him traveling to far off places and then cruise back into town to be a father and husband when it's convenient. Knowing Charlotte's past, he refuses to hurt her. The trouble is when they catch up with each other, there is that same pull.
A subplot is there are burglaries going on in town and Charlotte's store is the common denominator. Rick asks Roman to help him track down the thief. The characters involved are colorful and quirky. Since this is the first book in the series, you want to meet the townspeople so you know who they are for the next novels.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It delved into the emotions of relationships in a real way. It was not overly serious but I would not call it a romantic comedy. It is similar to "Ally McBeal," in that it falls somewhere in the middle. I can't wait to start the next book in the series, "The Playboy" tonight.

Summary: A fun read! .... (Crocheted Panties? )
Comment: This is one of to read if you want something fun and light-- I enjoyed it (more than I thought I would when I first picked it up) though The Playboy is still my favorite so far... I haven't read The Heartbreaker, yet, though. The Chander Boys' mom decides to use her doctor's visit to make her boys think that she might not be around all that much longer and to make her wishes come true - to see at least one of her sons married and have a grandchild. (I know- sounds silly, huh? Hey, to some it gets worse.) The three sons have a coin toss and Roman wins (or losses, whichever way you want to look at it). Roman nows agree to proceed with finding himself a bride. That is when he learns that his old high school crush, Charlotte Bronson, has moved back home divorced. Roman's idea of a wife is one that he can tolerate long enough to marry, set up house with, get pregnant, and then leave to continue his life style as a world-travelled journalist with no regards to wife/or child. Charlotte puts a damper on Roman's plans- because he can't get her out of his mind or heart and the other town's girls don't match up to Charlotte. One date brings back sweet memories. Charlotte would never accept such an arrangement as the one that Roman is looking for. She has made a life of her own in Yorkshire Falls as the owner of a lingerie shop (she even makes her own crocheted panties- how comfortable can they be? ha,ha,ha!!!) and would never agree to to a long distance romance. So will Roman and Charlotte be able to come up with a compromise? There are several things going on as well as Roman and Charlotte's story - mom's health and a pantie thief. Read it and have fun.
