The Playboy
By Carly Phillips  

     Officer Rick Chandler - handsome son number two of the three Chandler men.

     Raina Chandler - Rick's meddling mother who spent her time trying to get her sons married off in order to produce grandchildren for her.

     Kendall Sutton - the beautiful runaway bride who drove into Yorkshire Falls and smack dab into the middle of Raina's schemes to marry off Rick.

     Rick had no intentions of changing his bachelor ways to settle down into married life like his younger brother Roman had recently done. His one foray into marriage had ended up with his bride taking off with the father of her son - and he was not about to chance getting hurt with another woman. Rick enjoyed woman - many women - and was not about to choose just one.

     Kendall was a transient - had been ever since her parents had chosen to leave her in the care of various relatives while they went off on their archeological digs. No way was she going to take a chance on settling down in one place and risk the hurt of being abandoned again - not even for the love of a charming hazel-eyed handsome police officer.

     But neither Rick nor Kendall could deny the hot flames of desire that sizzled between them from the moment they first met. Fate has a way of stepping in and changing even the best-laid plans of mice and men.

     Carly Phillips has once again produced a best seller with The Playboy. This one has even more sizzle than The Bachelor, the first novel in The Chandler Men. It is a must read. I look forward to the release of the last novel in the series, The Heartbreaker.
