R.S.V.P. to the most riotous wedding of the year....
Lucy Jorik is the daughter of a former president of the United States.
Meg Koranda is the offspring of legends.
One of them is about to marry Mr. Irresistible—Ted Beaudine—the favorite son of Wynette, Texas. The other is not happy about it and is determined to save her friend from a mess of heartache.
But even though Meg knows that breaking up her best friend's wedding is the right thing to do, no one else seems to agree. Faster than Lucy can say "I don't", Meg becomes the most hated woman in town—a town she's stuck in with a dead car, an empty wallet, and a very angry bridegroom.
Broke, stranded, and without her famous parents at her back, Meg is sure she can survive on her own wits. What's the worst that can happen? Lose her heart to the one and only Mr. Irresistible? Not likely. Not likely at all.
Call Me Irresistible is the book Susan Elizabeth Phillips's readers and listeners have long awaited. Ted, better known as "little Teddy", the nine-year-old heartbreak kid from Phillips's first best seller, Fancy Pants, and as "young Teddy," the hunky new college graduate in Lady Be Good, is all grown up now—along with Lucy from First Lady and Meg from What I Did for Love. They're ready to take center stage in a saucy, funny, and highly addictive tale fans will love.

Susan Elizabeth Phillips is back and she's back with a bang.
I was disappointed before with What I Did For Love. It isn't her best of work, in my honest opinion. At first, I was a bit hesitant to pick Call Me Irresistible up but I'm glad I did. It's chick lit to the core, I'd have to say. And you know how much I love a darn good chick lit.
Meg Koranda is not the typical heroine (which I really like). She's stubborn, sarcastic, witty, proud, reckless, temperamental, gutsy and absolutely out of her mind. I mean, try to talk your best friend out of her marriage on her wedding day. Crazy, no? And then Meg falls in love with her best friend's jilted groom. And he's the mayor of Wynette, the town where your business is everybody's business, especially when it comes to Ted Beaudine.
Instead of being loved and adored by the whole town, Meg gathers enemies faster than you can say “Hollywood”. She, after all, has had a hand in breaking up the town's prodigal son marriage on his wedding day. Mess with Ted Beaudine, you mess with the whole people of Wynette, Texas.
Meg thinks Ted is too perfect... and creepy. But is he really? Perfect, I mean. Well, kinda. But perfect, my friends, is boring. And Ted Beaudine is not boring, mark my word.
What's more interesting is that the story mostly is written from Meg's point of view. Not much insight into Ted's heart and mind at the beginning. But towards the end, well... it's a different story.
Overall a mighty pleasant read. Love it!
