I’ve only recently come upon this author and this is only my second book by her but I truly enjoy her writing. Susan Elizabeth Philips creates story lines and characters that are humorous, unique, sexy and so much fun to read.Lady Be Good is the second book in the Wynette, Texas series. I’ve read Fancy Pants which is book #1 and loved that one too. This is the story of Lady Emma Wells-Finch and Kenny Traveler. Their meeting is arranged to help with a situation that Kenny is in, but with one litt...

I originally read this a few years ago and gave it 5 stars. Just finished a re-read and it would not make the 5 star mark today. If Dallie and Fancy Pants hadn't show up, it might even be lower. I don't even know why I didn't love it as much this time around.I am kind of afraid to re-read the rest of the series for fear that I might find fault with them also. Still, she is a great author and she will be an "auto-buy" for me.

My first thought on Kenny: is this guy for real?? I thought nah it can’t be! And then this happened:[the woman is holding two kids in her arms] He mentally redressed her in a tight top, short skirt, and a pair of stiletto heels, then added black fishnet stockings for good measure. He’d never paid for sex in his life, but he decided he’d be more than happy to throw a little extra cash her way if she ever decided she needed to earn something on the side to pay for her kids’ orthodontics work. Th...

Classic Susan Elizabeth Phillips! Lady Be Good is the second installment in her adult contemporary romance series titled Wynette, Texas. I just love Ms. Phillips' ability to write amazing humor and romance and she excels at both in this one. Golf is one of my least favorite sports so the male lead's pro-golf career was a bit of a bore for me personally but this is such a fun book! If you're into adult romances filled with laughs, check out this author!!!My favorite quote:“Now, this is where I dr...

This was properly delightful!! It is the third Susan Elizabeth Phillips novel I have read, and I was just as smitten by it as I was the first two. She writes in a way that makes you laugh out loud, reflect on life’s afflictions, rejoice in second chances, and love falling in love. Lady Be Good is the second installment in the Wynette, Texas series. The main characters once again depict a Texas golfer and a British lady. Brought together by an “innocent” matchmaker (who also happens to be the her...

"Now, this is where I draw the line! It’s bad enough everybody in town’s going to be thinkin’ I’m sleeping with a depressed, lice-ridden, hemorrhoidal foreigner who likes to be tied up and might be pregnant, although—since she’s just about cornered the market on condoms—I don’t know how that could have happened. But I will not —you listen to me, Emma!—I absolutely will not have anybody thinkin’ a woman of mine needs a vaginal moisturizer, do you hear me?"The good stuff:1. The romance. It is thor...

Lady Emma Wells-Finch is headmistress of St. Gert's School for Girls. Emma is desperate to create the perfect scandal that will convince the egotistical Duke of Beddington, the main benefactor of her school, that she is not appropriate marriage material. However, while she is trying her best to convince the Duke that she will not make a satisfactory Duchess, she cannot take things too far or he will sell St. Gerts out from under her.Gorgeous Kenny Traveler - who needs to avoid scandal at all cos...

SEP has never let me down, and Lady Be Good is no exception. Susan Elizabeth's fabulous writing, witty dialogue, and lovable characters made this a fabulous audiobook that gave me so many laughs. I'm about halfway through all of SEP's books and have loved them all. I've recently started listening to some on audiobook and have been extremely happy with the 3 narrators she uses. This book was narrated by Anna Fields, who does a fabulous job especially with Lady Emma's British accent. Even though m...

My second by SEP, I didn't like it as much as the first, though I liked it well enough. All of that is down to Emma, though. She's worried about becoming one of "those dear, old things" and is looking to change that with the added impetus of needing to turn an unwanted suitor off the hunt. Because her inherent decency and kindness and stability is warring with her need for change, her actions can be a bit erratic. The thing is, SEP does an excellent job making it reasonable so I didn't feel like...

- Loved it! After the previous book in the series I was pleased to get more of what I associated as SEP. - Loved Kenny, liked Emma. - Liked background stories. - Very funny which kept me chuckling with more than a few full out belly laughs. - Looking forward to reading Ted's story. Can't believe that adorable little boy has turned into one sexy young man!

4.5 Stars - Hilarious fun and so lovely. The best kind!💖💖💖💖The stand-alone #2 in the sweet SEP “Wynette, Texas” series and just as the other books was it a perfect read for me. I can’t but love these lovebirds and their struggling to a sugar sweet terrific grandHEA. Yum, it’s heartbreaking nice... I listened to the FABULOUS audiobook narrated by the best Anna Fields. 10:39 hours first class romance enjoyment.Read June 1, 2020.

4.5 StarsI think I love this series just as much as her Chicago Stars series. I feel like the Wynette, Texas series has a more serious tone to it, despite the pervasive humor. I've been listening to the audiobooks and the narration is spot on. Rarely do I feel like a narrator actually adds to my enjoyment, but this one does. Fantastic book, fantastic series.

I heart this book so much. Both hero and the heroine are right up there with my favorites. Written when SEP was at the top of her game, I can only give it five stars.Lady Emma Wells-Finch, on a school break from her Head Mistress job at all girls St. Gertrudes, is taking the time to do some study on one of her favorite women in history.

⤅ I can't believe this is the first SEP I've ever read. Boy, I've been missing out.This book is, in a word, hilarious. It turns out SEP is capable of pulling off that rarest of rare things: a FUNNY alpha hero. Linda Howard occasionally manages this too in some of her better works, but too often she reverts to the default 'grumpy alpha' classic. Well, I generally prefer my heroes with a sense of humour, and Kenny is exactly what the doctor ordered. How can you not love a hero who pretends to the

The H & h drove me crazy all through this book. I wanted to smack both their heads together! It definitely kept me entertained. I look forward to reading the rest of the series :)

2.5 StarsSome books are nice, very comfortable. And a point comes where these books stop becoming your comfort zone and shifting to 'just ok' category, this is one of those.

To be honest I didn't begin the book with high expectations because when I tried to read Fancy Pants I kind of got bored with all the old tales and I haven't finished it yet but this book was a beautiful surprise just like all of the others I have read from Susan Elizabeth Phillips! I have to admit that I am a great fun although usually I only read books from this century and this goes a long way to show just how much I love them! What made this book irresistible :1) Kenny! I have read hundred...

A zany rom-com style of book, but a bit too silly and over-the-top for me. Also feels quite dated. Published 1999. For me the weakest book in this series. It's kind of a do-over of Fancy Pants, but without the depth. I've read it before, and this time I just skimmed the last section because I remembered what happened (and didn't care that much.......) I just didn't really enjoy the characters or care what happened to them.

It was fun and to the end, was angsty but also boring. Because of the satisfying end, 3,25 stars.

“You really go around calling yourself that? A Head Mistress?”“It’s what I do.”He looked vastly amused. “For proper people, you British sure do have some racy job titles.”“We’re not talking about that now; we’re talking about the fact that I dropped off Mary Poppins and I came back to find Madonna.” His gaze took in her new outfit, purchased at one of the mall’s inexpensive teen boutiques. The sleeveless black T-dress was perilously short and closely fitted, with a zip-neck. Unzipped. Or at

I love how I just finished books with male leads named Dallie and Panda (yes, PANDA!), and yet Kenny was the one I had the hardest time wrapping my brain around. I kept calling him Nicky. (Why? Who knows where thoughts come from. They just appear. -Lucas, Empire Records) I liked this one even more than Fancy Pants. There was great chemistry and dialogue between Emma and Nicky Kenny, and the requires-suspension-of-belief plotline actually worked in this zany story. I cracked up at the low-speed c...

Great Funny Read. But audiobook narrator was weak.The first time I read it I was doubled over with tears in my eyes hysterically laughing so many times! On subsequent reads I still laughed but not as much because I knew what was coming. But it was still great.This story is the romance between two oddly matched people: Lady Emma headmistress of a girls school in England and Kenny a professional golfer in Texas.AUDIOBOOK NARRATOR: Anna Fields was very good with everything except Kenny’s voice (...

I like to read SEP's books. Sometimes I have better time all of the story than epilogue. It didn't mean didn't I like epilogue but it was not like that it melted my heart etc. :)Also, although I know that SEP's heroine is better than hero and her heros are little bit background, I couldn't connect hero much.As if he's there but not there actually. As if he's one of the secondary characters. All of my complaints, I had very good time.

This is my second SEP book that i've read, the first one being What I Did For Love. I was not overly impressed because i found the heroine a bit neurotic. And it seems that the heroine for this book is also a bit of a quirky character. Maybe it's a SEP heroine trait. Idk. But i'm beginning to like the style.Lady Be Good is a fun story. I kind of have a feeling that the book is set in the late 90s or early 2000s since we are talking about messages sent via facsimiles (wuuut??), no mention of smar...

I seem to be going through SEP books backwards; supposedly this is the 2nd book, but I honestly was not ready to read the 1st.Lady Be Good, takes place in Texas (which is a treat since I live in Texas), with an English lady headmistress heroine and a lazy PGA golf star millionaire. Lady Emma, aka Lady E, is a 30 year old virgin, who is in the danger of being blackmailed to marry a mad controlling English Duke. To save her school (the object that is used for blackmail), Emma must lose her pristin...

I've nearly read everything SEP has written, and I'm panicking a bit. Torn between reading First Lady because I want alllllllll the SEP or The Last Hour of Gann because I hear it's amazing and I want to drag out SEP.Down to business - Lady Be Good was incredible. I hesitated to read it because I thought it sounded fusty and boring. You'd think that after all these books I'd know that an SEP hero isn't going to let me down. And while he's no Bobby Tom Denton ole Kenny Traveler certainly wasn't a

A proper headmistress and a playboy professional golfer, she has a spotless reputation to lose at all costs, he has a tarnished one to regain and restore. And when this British lady meets such a Texan golden boy is a scandal waiting to happen and making for a truly delicious romantic comedy gem.A 1999 vintage SEP that doesn't feel one bit dated, with her trademark flawless writing, crackling dialogues, sexy tension and irresistible brand of humour. Supported by a cast of quirky and scrumptious s...
