Wonderful

So glad this was finally available as an audiobook. Fabulous series. Rachel Gibson is truly gifted at creating fun characters with great stories and friends.

Too lovey dovey for my taste

Listened to the first book and it was good. The second one however - good grief. I mean I'm all for romance - that's why I listen to books like this but the last two hours were just bad. It was just too much of the I love you and why and how and good grief poor woman went for the wrong guy AGAIN even though everybody KNOWS she is gonna get him in the end. I'm all for happy ending but man that dragged....

4.5 Stars - Good Read!

I'm in No Mood for Love by Rachel Gibson (Audio Edition)
Narrated by Kathleen Early
The Writer Friends #2

4.5 Stars - I was happy to see Clare finally get her happily ever after. She had to work through some large emotional moments in this book and I liked that Sebastian was there to help her through it. These two had a wonderful spark between them.

There were some funny parts, and some super sweet parts (which were perfectly suited for a romance writer!) I totally enjoyed this story. Kathleen Early did a great job with narration! I am looking forward to the next book in the series.

Horrible love interest

DNF 70%. I really wanted to like this book. I loved the first one of the series, and I did find Clare pretty fun. However, I DESPISE Sebastian. He was extremely mean, narcissistic, condescending, and sexist. Every time Clare and Sebastian were interacting I found myself thinking "oh my god he is such an a**hole, why is she even talking to him?" It wasn't fun the antagonism you'd find in a good enemies-to-lovers story because he genuinely enjoyed being mean to Clare and she always came away feeling horrible about the interaction. Their interactions just made me too unhappy to consider finishing the story.

Dated

This was written in 2006, and shows every bit of its age. The romance is well done, but she’s done better stuff overall elsewhere.

Oh What a Pal

Would you listen to I'm in No Mood for Love again? Why?
Yes as author and reader include you into the gang. Our hero, is what some of us would have loved to have experienced growing up. Note: I do use the new 1.25 speed to match the authors intent.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
These are simple feel good stories. Yum on the hero, but not over the top FSOG type of romance. You re listen when you want a break from the fast pace of doing chores.
Author has skills for laugh out loud wit, and I will have to re listen to this story as I could very well have missed it, but her strength comes from creating sweet but admired heroines. Don't mistake sweet for weakness as these stories show.

What about Kathleen Early’s performance did you like?
I have become a huge fan of Ms Early. She has improved so much from Reading Karin slaughter's Will Trent series, (you have to cull the series as unfortunately some of the stories have very graphic violence and are not for me.)
Miss early can interpret this authors work so well that the stories don't have to be overly complicated to be enjoyed. I have re listened to Sex,Lies, and On Line Dating. I really enjoyed the book, 5 star, the 2nd time I listened.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No I did not listen to this in one setting as I have two or three or sometimes four going on at the same time. I have over 150 new listens as I buy more than I can physically get too. (This was a big mistake on my part, you can’t enjoy a Rachel Gibson book, if you have too much going on, I have found big time.)
Since these are feel good listens, you can go back part of the chapter and the story comes back to you. Many people don't like to have more than 1 story going on at same time but, I sometimes like it. It not for everyone, and after re listening to Sex, Lies, and On Line Dating, I realized I did a very big injustice to this author’s work. I will be re listening to all her stories read by Ms Early as she brings Author’s work to vivid life.
Were my comments helpful?

Predictable Gibson

This was a fairly predictable Gibson contemporary romance. It is the second in her series about four writers. It did start from a somewhat unique perspective - the main character was in love with someone else when she first connects with her hero and the book takes the time to mourn the loss of that relationship. And both of the main characters had parental issues that had a ring of truth to them. The biggest issue I had with the plot is there is very little evidence that Sebastian is falling in love with Clair. He just suddenly is in love with her. And then shortly after that, the book ends.

Kathleen Early does a good job with the narration.

Waiting on the next book

This is another good story in this series. RG writes a great book. Love her continued references to the Hockey team. I am anxiously awaiting the next book in the writers series. Kathleen Early is doing a fantastic job with narration. I think I will find another book that she has narrated while waiting on the next Rachel Gibson book.

A Lot of Ignorance & Stereotypes

I didn't enjoy this book at all. A lot of prejudices about religion and sexuality. Disappointed because I liked the last book.

The Author & Narrator are a Perfect Pair!

I am loving this book series! First there was Lucy's story, hot! And now Clair's, damn! Have to wait 6 days for my next credit for Maddie's, the was a hint, clue at the end of this book. And then on to Adele's story with the next credit....the wait is gonna kill me!
