I have read all SEP-books, and even re-read most of them. This is not a book that I will read again though. Although a pleasant story, the characters were too one-dimensional in my opinion. And too much semi-royalty, in the shape of mega-rich or mega-influential parents such as the mother of the bride (ex-president of the US), the parents of the heroine Meg (famous actors) and the parents of the hero (dad famous golfer, mum famous tv talk show). Yes, these parents were all beloved characters in previous books, but all brought together in one book is too much and even became annoying.
The fact that Megs parents are famous/rich, never made her being destitute really believable, contrary too heroines in previous SEP-books.
But one big pre; reading about all these characters from previous books, made me re-read their stories again (Lady be Good, Fancy Pants, First Lady). Great stories, better than this one! Maybe because they also had other lovestory's in it, besides the love story of the main characters.

As a newly converted SEP fan, I have inhaled all her books over the past few weeks. This has prepared me well enough for Call Me Irresistible. I was familiar with the characters, and was really looking forward to reading about Teddy, Meg, and Lucy.
Now I am very strict "marker" (although some of you won't agree), and naturally I had high expectations. Who didn't fall in love with Teddy in Fancy Pants, and then Lady Be Good?
So with my extremely high expectations in mind, I will be generous to say it wasn't SEP's best, but it was good enough for me.
Potential Spoiler Alert:
The Highs:
1. You see Meg's point of view (POV) first. You have no idea of what Teddy is feeling until the last few chapters. Now some people may think this is actually a "low" but here's why I think it was brilliant. Everybody already loves Ted. Ted is perfect. You loved him in the previous books. No one knows what to think about Meg though. So naturally, we need some time to get to know Meg.
Ted is painted throughout the book as Mr. Level-Headed. You get an occasional glimpse of emotion (cleverly written) every now and then; a little bubble here and there; but basically, you don't get any insights into Mr. Cool until the end. Which means, that when you finally do, it's telling. Your connection with Teddy then, is instant.
2. You get to see that your favourite characters from the previous books are still as flawed as ever, and true to form. Just because they are in love and happily married doesn't mean that they don't do silly things (like do to Meg what others have done to them).
The Lows:
1. Well, to be honest, I thought the relationship's beginning was slightly contrived. I don't know whether this was because we didn't see Teddy's POV, but I guess this was one of the side effects. Once they settled in, it got better, but that first kiss didn't knock me off my feet (sorry SEP!!).
And I think that's it for me. Why 3 stars though? 2 highs to 1 low should surely warrant a 4. Well, that's the stingy marker in me. I had these awfully high expectations and all...

Miss Phillips never fails to captivate her reader from the first few pages of any of her novels and this one is no exception. I could not put this down once I started and actually finished the book in a day and a quarter. Having read all her previous books which included many of the characters in 'Irrisistible' and told their own stories: I was drawn into the storyline needing to see the outcome of these wonderfully complex and larger than life characters especially Ted who I first read about in 'Fancy Pants' and Meg who was originally in 'Glitter Baby'.
I love the fact that Ms Philllips' plots are not easy to work out from the start and she takes her readers on an emotional roller coaster of a ride in which she so cleverly brings tears one minute then out load laughs the next and all entwined with great drama and original story lines.
I cannot recommend this writers' work strongly enough. Yes it is romance but of the highest quality. She has made me laugh cry and suffer in suspence and fear for the characters she has so lovenly created. Cannot wait for the next book!
