Third in Phillips' Chicago Star series. Genius in physics, Professor Jane Darlington yearns for a baby --but she wants a father who's IQ will balance hers so that her baby won't have her nerdy life. The perfect father--dumb jock Chicago Stars quarterback Cal Bonner. Dr. Jane gets more than she bargains for with Cal who forces marriage with a quick divorce after the baby is born when he learns of her pregnancy. His parents rocky marriage and a quirky grandmother enter the arena when they settle into his home. Funny, romantic with strong, sensitive characters. Phillips makes me laugh and her characters are flawed in ways that ring true. Now I have to read about the other Bonner brothers!

First Lady / Susan Elizabeth Phillips 384 p.
Phillips takes a out-of-the-ordinary concept, a widowed First Lady on the run -- escaping White House duties and pressures, etc.; a disenchanted journalist and a couple of orphans and makes it believable. Again, humor and credible scenes make this a delightful read. Phillips enchants her contemporary romance readers by incorporating one of the characters in future books.
