Nothing But Trouble

Great book. Would highly recommend.

Rachel Gibson is one of my two favorite authors in this genre. She's like a breath of fresh air amid all the crap out there on the romance book shelves. She's absolutely hilarious and all of her book have great laughable parts! They also have heart.... and substance. Nothing But Trouble did not disappoint. One thing I love and hate about Rachel is that she's not turning out books just for the sake of making money. It feels like forever since she released a new book- but oh she makes it worth it. I never roll my eyes or try to breeze through any stupid sections like with other authors. I fist got sucked into the fictional Chinooks hockey team with See Jane Score. It's still my all time RG favorite. And I'm so glad she's decided to write more books about the team and give us tiny peeks into how other couples are doing in these new releases. Although- I'm sure you read from other reviews what the book is about- I'll quickly say- Hockey player Mark Bressler has been in a horrid car accident that cuts his hockey career shorter than he planed, and left him a very bitter man. Wanna-be actress Chelsea Ross is sent in to help take care of him. He fights off the help, but she's desperate for the work so she stays no matter what... and a love story is in the making. I absolutely loved it!

You can't go wrong with Rachel Gibson. While this may not be my #1 favorite Rachel Gibson book like "See Jane Score", this one stays pretty high on my list. And actually, I think this book is better than the last couple she's come out with. Once I got started, I couldn't put the book down. I loved the two characters and their quirky banter and steamy romance. They were very well matched. I'm glad Rachel is staying with the hockey theme cause I can't get enough. My only complaint is that she isn't writing fast enough! Can't wait for the next one!

This funny, sexy and light-hearted book was a joy to read and it's definitely one of my favourites by Rachel Gibson. Unsuccessful actress Chelsea Ross desperately needs money, so she agrees to work as a personal assistent for hockey superstar Mark Bressler. He was seriously hurt in a car accident months ago and had to give up playing hockey. Ever since he is in a black mood and does his best to act like a jerk. Mark doesn't want anyone to help him and especially not funky and witty Chelsea. But he can't get rid of her like he did with his other assistents because Chelsea just won't leave. Soon Chelsea and Mark find some common ground and he even begins to like their discussions and her attempts to cheer him up. When the attraction between them grows, their relationship changes and they become lovers. What starts as something casual soon feels like so much more and Mark and Chelsea have to decide how they want to go on. I loved reading "Nothing but trouble" and think that it's one of the best books by Rachel Gibson so far. Chelsea is a great heroine and I liked her from the first moment. She is a funny, honest and caring person and pursues her dreams even though her family disagrees. I especially enjoyed reading about her bright personality and clothing style. Mark is an awesome hero. At first I was a bit sceptical about him but that changed within a few pages. He may be brooding and arrogant but he is also funny and kind. You can feel his pain and just hope that his life will get better. Mark and Chelsea are a great, sexy and lovely pair and I especially enjoyed that Mark understood one of her biggest wishes and was willing to change his life for her. I loved to meet Kate and Rob from "The trouble with Valentine's day" again and laughed about the fly-fishing insider joke. I also enjoyed reading more about the other Chinook players and hope that many of them will get their own books. So all in all I can absolutely recommend this funny, sexy and light-hearted book and can't wait to read more of the Seattle Chinooks. Sam's book (excerpt is in the back of "Nothing but trouble") sounds very promising and will be published spring 2011.

Rachel Gibson is an automatic buy for me. I loved this book. Yes, there were some unresolved questions at the end but I'm sure they will be discussed in the next book which is coming out next year. She writes with a lot of humor and I found myself laughing out loud a few times. Mark is my favorite type of hero...cranky and broken. Chelsea was my favorite type of heroine, spunky with a sense of humor. Together they were terrific. I didn't want it to end. I also especially love when the hero is a professional sports star...yummy! Chelsea has two toned hair, loud clothes and big boobs. She is not your typical romance heroine and that is what I love about this book. I also liked that they didn't fall in love at first sight. It happened over time. I wish these books would come out faster.

I very much enjoyed this book up until the end, which seemed rushed. I felt the main character, Chelsea, lost a lot of her strength in the end. Throughout the story, Chelsea never backed down from Mark. However, in the last few chapters, she seemed to crumble. There was also an disagreement between Chelsea and her twin sister that went unresolved.
