Chandler Brothers Series 1. The Bachelor 2. The Playboy  Reviews 3. The Heartbreaker Reviews ... "I always enjoy a good laugh, and Ms. Phillips doesn't miss a beat in keeping the pages turning, and the chuckles coming. The intimacy is just the right blend of steaminess infused with just a touch of old-fashioned reality. The romance between Rick and Kendall is one to remember—born of immediate chemistry; nurtured through time and friendship. I recommend this title (series!) for anyone who enjoys a light hearted romance, some very well written sensuality, and a few good, hearty laughs!"    —Contemporary Romance Writers Review "NYT best selling author, Carly Phillips has done it again! This author's every book is to be cherished and so it is with THE PLAYBOY too. If you loved THE BACHELOR then THE PLAYBOY is guaranteed to knock your collective socks off. The sexy, sensual and unforgettable Chandler men are here to entertain you again. 'The Playboy' is a must buy for your keeper shelf. The hot and tender romance, the depth of the simply irresistible characters, the deep emotional conflicts, the richness of writing - all make 'The Playboy' a spellbinding joy to read. Don't miss this beautifully written, intensely satisfying love story."    —Rashmi Srinivas, Road to Romance "THE PLAYBOY moves along at a steady pace keeping the readers interest throughout the story. Her in-depth characters and charming storyline make it impossible to put THE PLAYBOY down until the last page is turned. To say Ms. Phillips has a way with words is an understatement. This lady creates a witty, sensual romance that will curl your toes, not to mention leave you panting for more. I can't wait for Chance's story, THE HEARTBREAKER to come out."    —Robin Peek, The Word on Romance "The Playboy could have been a superficial and trite novel, but Phillips has made it much more than that, with realistically flawed and complex characters who reveal the depths of their personalities and become real human beings, a plot that takes unexpected twists which elicit both sympathy and laughter, and skilled writing that brings everything to wonderful life. I can't wait to read The Heartbreaker."    —Joni Richards Bodart, The Romance Reader "THE PLAYBOY is the follow up to Carly Phillip's wonderfully successful THE BACHELOR. Rick's story more than fills the shoes left by his now happily married brother. It is playfully sexy and witty as Rick does everything in his power to live life on his own terms despite the interference from his mother. Even as Carly develops the relationship between Rick and Kendall, she draws a wonderful picture of a son's unconditional love for his mother and explores the joys of finding love a second time later in life. This second book in the Chandler bachelor's trilogy is a passionate, sexy, and thoroughly enjoyable read."    —Lea Moyer, Romance and Friends "Oh my goodness, what a treat it is to be under the spell of the fabulous Chandler boys once again in the eagerly awaited second book, THE PLAYBOY. Ms. Phillips outdoes herself with this sensuous and humorous tale that showcases her extraordinary talent as an author. THE PLAYBOY is a story I love even more than THE BACHELOR, if that is possible, but Rick won me over hook, line and sinker. The dialogue is witty and delightful. I fell in love with the characters immediately and can't wait to see what Ms. Phillips has up her sleeve for the final Chandler bachelor... I'm certain Chase is in for quite a ride."    —Suzanne Coleburn, Newandusedbooks.com "5 STARS ... Ms. Phillips has hit her stride in the longer format. THE PLAYBOY just sails along hitting wonderful high notes and keeping things hopping. Previous characters are skillfully woven into the story without weighing the storyline down. I adored Kendall's little sister who was an excellent depiction of smart-mouthed angst so apparent in too much of today' s youth. I will be waiting on pins and needles for Chase's story to hit the stands!"    —Karen Larsen, Scribes World "Readers flocked to meet the Chandler brothers in Carly's hugely successful THE BACHELOR. Well, let me tell you, THE PLAYBOY is even better! Rick is sexy, charming and intelligent, a perfect hero. He is tough without being too macho, sensitive without being wimpy, and genuine without seeming syrupy sweet. Kendall is a perfect match. Her witty remarks, passionate nature and determination not to loose her heart all create loads of sexual tension between the two. Sounds simple, right?   Carly Phillips wouldn't be the fantastic author we all know and love if things were simple. A surprise pops in at just the right moment to put a damper on the romance. The question becomes, just how much are these two willing to endure?"    —Tracy Farnsworth, The Romance Readers Connection "The second Chandler family contemporary romance, THE PLAYBOY, is an engaging tale that fans of Carly Phillips will fully relish. The story line focuses on two weary warriors whose wary looks at love make for a fine novel. His two brothers and mom and her sister provide depth so that the audience will gain pleasure in this novel, obtain the previous book (THE BACHELOR) and anxiously await the finale (the exempt brother's story)."    —Harriet Klausner, The Best Reviews "The brothers (have) considerable charisma ... (and) those who like their romance fast n' frothy may well find this lightweight tale an appealing afternoon's diversion."    —Publishers Weekly "As much as I enjoyed Roman's story in The Bachelor, this one played to my affections even more. Rick and Kendall were terrific, down to earth characters and of course, nothing beats the Chandlers' matriarch! I eagerly await Chase's story."    —4 1/2 Stars, Kathy Boswell, Romantic Times Magazine "Carly Phillips' THE PLAYBOY really plays on readers heartstrings and one can hardly wait for the conclusion of this fantastic trilogy with her hardcover debut, THE HEARTBREAKER spring 2003!"    —Patricia Rouse, Rouse's Romance Readers Groups "THE PLAYBOY IS AWESOME!!! It may be hard to believe, but THE PLAYBOY is even better then THE BACHELOR. Rick and his family are so much fun and the way they accept Kendall and her sister makes you feel good inside. If you liked THE BACHELOR you will LOVE THE PLAYBOY! Get your copy now, before they become like gold and you are left looking at an empty shelf."    —Barb Hicks, The Best Reviews "A sizzling delight, THE PLAYBOY by Carly Phillips joins THE BACHELOR on the keeper shelf. THE PLAYBOY includes a scintillating cast of characters, including one disillusioned and wounded teenager. Kendall's red hair and devil may care attitude strikes quite a contrast to Rick's deep roots and commitment to his hometown. Rather than clashing, however, they compliment each other in ways that are both striking and amusing. In addition, Phillips displays a knack for capturing teenage angst with Kendall's younger sister Hannah, who is at once delightful and infuriating. One can only hope this hellion will find her way to maturing and her own story one day! A breezy, amusing romp with sensual undertones that will curl your toes, THE PLAYBOY comes very highly recommended."    —Cindy Penn, Wordweaving "In THE PLAYBOY, Carly Phillips delivers a remarkable story about families and romance. A great feel good book to cuddle up with, about life, love, family and friendship with just the right amout of hot sex thrown in!"    —Diana Tidlund, lucky advance reader!
