Normally I avoid reading contemporary romance. Not that there is anything wrong with it, simply that I enjoy the escape to a different time, particularly 19th century England or the Highlands of Scotland. However, Call Me Irresistible is great!It is witty, with characters that take on a deeper dimension. They come alive off the pages, and even if you do not identify with either protagonist, you find elements of truth in each of their struggles which in some way can relate to your own life. The story is realistic, yet not overbearingly so. By that I mean that Phillips manages to keep the romantic element alive and not buried beneath an excess amount of prose and misunderstanding (on the part of either main character). In her world, she keeps reality fun. I didn’t need the extra element of escape, provided by the different era. I was simply able to get wrapped up in the story and enjoy. I highly recommend reading this. You will find yourself smirking over the dialogue, commiserating with the emotional struggles and feeling a renewed promise in love at its end.
