It Had to Be You (Chicago Stars, 1)

The Windy City isn’t quite ready for Phoebe Somerville -- the outrageous, curvaceous New York knockout who has just inherited the Chicago Stars football team. And Phoebe is definitely not prepared for the Stars’ head coach Dan Celebow, a sexist jock taskmaster with a one-track mind. Celebow is everything Phoebe abhors. And the sexy new boss is everything Dan despises -- a meddling bimbo who doesn’t know a pigskin from a pitcher’s mound.
So why is he drawn to the shameless sexpot like a heat-seeking missile? And why does the coach’s good ol’ boy charm leave cosmopolitan Phoebe feeling awkward, tongue-tied....and ready to fight?
The sexy, heartwarming, and hilarious "prequel" to New York Times bestselling author Susan Elizabeth Phillips’ This Heart of Mine -- her sensational bestsellng blockbuster -- It Had To Be You is an enchanting story of two stubborn people who believe in playing for keeps.

This book impressed me, I've always loved the writing style of Susan Elizabeth Phillips but here she managed to explore trauma in a way that seemed very genuine to me. Maybe it was overcome a bit too fast, but still I liked that it was described and added to the story. The main character was quite rich to me, so many layers of personality.
The plot all in all was nothing revolutionary but I don't think anyone reads romance nowadays in search for that, it was not cheesy, it was not too cliche or too predictable and I quite enjoyed it. Hence the 4 stars.
