Product Description:
Chicago Stars quarterback Dean Robillard is the luckiest man in the world: a bona-fide sports superstar and the pride of the NFL with a profitable side career as a buff billboard model for End Zone underwear. But life in the glory lane has started to pale, and Dean has set off on a cross-country trip to figure out what's gone wrong. When he hits a lonely stretch of Colorado highway, he spies something that will shake up his gilded life in ways he can't imagine. A young woman . . . dressed in a beaver suit.
Blue Bailey is on a mission to murder her ex. Or at least inflict serious damage. As for the beaver suit she's wearing . . . Is it her fault that life keeps throwing her curveballs? Witness the expensive grey sports car pulling up subsequent to her on the highway and the Greek god stepping out of it.
Blue's career as a portrait painter is the perfect job for someone who refuses to stay in one place for very long. She needs a ride, and America's most famous football player has an imposing set of wheels. Now, all she has to do is keep him entertained, off guard, and fully clothed before he figures out exactly how desperate she is.
But Dean isn't the brainless jock she imagines, and Blue—despite her petite stature—is just about the toughest woman Dean has ever met. They're soon heading for his summer home where their already complicated lives and inconvenient attraction to each other will become entangled with a charismatic but aging rock star; a beautiful fifty-two-year-old woman trying to make peace with her rock and roll past; an eleven-year-old who desperately needs a family; and a bitter old woman who hates them all.
As the summer progresses, the wandering portrait artist and the charming football star play a high-stakes game, fighting themselves and each other for a chance to have it all.
Natural Born Charmer is for everyone who's ever thought about leaving their old life in the dust and never looking back. Susan Elizabeth Phillips takes us home again . . . and shows us where love truly lives.

This book had me from the very first sentence. Susan Elizabeth Phillips always delivers a great read, but this one was off the charts. Probably my favorite "escape" book.

If you haven't tried a Susan E. Phillips novel yet and want something funny and enjoyable with good writing and sharp dialogue then this is for you. I have to admit I loved this book from start to finish. I loved everything in it and can't wait to pick up another novel by SEP. I have read most of her books since 1999 but skipped Ain't She Sweet. I think I enjoyed this one the most. After reading other reviews I think I will have to search out her earlier books to see if they are truly better. The humour was great and I loved the blend of quirky characters in this book. (don't want to give anything away but I thin I even fell for Jack Patriot by the end!!). Aside from the romance between Dean and Blue that is spicey to say the least - If you like art, old home redo's, dancing and good music, nice clothes, puppies and small towns coming to life again you'll enjoy this one.

Like another reviewer, I'm a huge SEP fan and will buy her books without question the moment I see them on the shelves. As usual, with snappy dialogue, humour & insight she hits the mark with Blue & Dean. And it's nice to see a quirky, unusual heroine - something else SEP tends to specialize in. Not a drop-dead beauty that most of us cannot relate to.
I also liked the 2nd romance (SEP always has a secondary romance that seems to start at the mid-way point of the book) between April & Jack. The relationship between the fading rock star & the former groupie has some nice bittersweet ache to it, without being sloppy-sentimental. I know publishers would never invest in a relationship between two "mature" people with a past history as a stand-alone novel, so it's nice to read this strong secondary story mixed in with the story of the main couple.

Too many characters with problems. Borrrrrrrrrrring! The dialog between the two main characters, Dean & Blue, was unrealistic, wisecracking all the time. Who really talks like that? I believe the best character in the story was Nita, the mean old woman yet a softy inside. Her friendship with Blue was most entertaining to read (therefore the one star rating).
Rated by buyers -
Funny and entertaining. I've read just about all of SEPs books and she never fails. Probably can't be called literature, by some, but great Chick Lit for the rest of us, who enjoy it. I listened to the audio version and it was exceptionally done! Great narrator!
