And the Crowd Went Wild

A Chicago Stars Novel

#1 New York Times bestselling author Susan Elizabeth Phillips is back with the latest novel in her beloved Chicago Stars series, featuring a romance between a star quarterback and one of the country’s most beautiful—and misunderstood—actresses.

Narrated by Kelli Tager.

After a mortifying—and very public—humiliation, Dancy Flynn is desperate to find sanctuary far from the crowd. But where can a washed-up sex symbol hide? How about making an unannounced appearance at the secluded lake house of the sweet, sensitive high school boyfriend she hasn’t seen in almost twenty years?

But Chicago Stars quarterback Clint Garrett is no longer the kid Dancy remembers. Now he’s a gridiron superhero, still holding a massive grudge against her for breaking his teenage heart. With no room in his life for either complexity or distractions, he banishes Dancy to a refurbished old railroad caboose tucked away in the woods…and out of his sight.

Except Dancy’s not good at staying invisible. Her efforts to rebuild her career clash with Clint’s desperation to regain his focus, all made more challenging by a rescue dog, a local woman in trouble, a meddling mother, an ex with an agenda…and the sizzle of rekindled emotions.

As Dancy attempts to get her life on track and Clint tries to get his groove back, can these two one-time lovers navigate their rocky pasts and complicated present to find themselves…and each other?

Tropes include:

• second-chance romance
• enemies to lovers
• forced proximity
• childhood sweethearts

go STARS!

a little slow at the beginning but turned out great. Match Me If You Can may be my all time favorite though. and I own them all.

Susan Elizabeth Phillips is a master of her craft and this book is no exception.

Once I started I couldn't stop. I listened to the whole book in one afternoon. I loved Dancy and Clint. Dancy was such a real character; she made me laugh and she made me cry more than once. The story was engaging and well written. This will join all of the other books by Susan Elizabeth Phillips, one I will read over and over again when I need to visit old friends.

SEP - of course it’s great!

Perfect! It’s got great characters, pacing, story is wonderfully written with all the things, sadness, humor, pathos, redemption, and love.
