Rachel Gibson’s “eloquent prose” (Publishers Weekly) has earned the author a number of coveted awards, including the RITA, Golden Heart, and National Reader’s Choice. Nothing But Trouble features an injured, prickly Seattle Chinooks hockey player who is none too pleased to be bedridden.

Pleasantly Surprised!

I had no idea if I was going to like this story but with Susan Bennett’s fabulous narration, she had me on “Hello!” I loved every part of this book, all the characters and everything about it!

Very entertaining!

A quirky but emotionally believable heroine, a strong but vulnerable hero, a mixture of unexpected humor and sensitive feelings, all delivered by a great narration! This is not the first Rachel Gibson novel I've listened to, and it's definitely not my last.

So boring, I just don't care

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

No. I don't care at all about the characters. There is no storyline development. It feels as though the characters are just chess pieces being moved about. I stopped listening with 2 hours left and just can't bring myself to get back to it.

What could Rachel Gibson have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

Everything just seems so forced. It needs to flow better.

What does Susan Bennett bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Its been a while since I've listened but I dont recall the narrator being bad or annoying. A bad one will kill the story, but the story died on it's own here.

Was Nothing but Trouble worth the listening time?

Not for me. I hope others have better luck.

Feels good

I’ve always enjoyed book. I’ve read it twice. The narration is very fine. Even knowing how the story will end didn’t matter because the characters tell a good story.

Loved it

While not as good as other Rachel Gibson stories, I like the story overall. Could use a better and longer ending. What happened to her future and career. Well did she ever get the surgery that she wanted. Would have been nice if they just close that. Needs an epilogue.

Love Battles with a Puck

I really liked this story, and I don't know anything about hockey. Neither does the heroine, but her sheer determination to keep her job is funny, as is the insight into celebrity assistant work and the inner realm of the players of pro hockey.

Good one, you will like it!

Hot and Steamy

Where does Nothing but Trouble rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Rachel Gibson does NOT disappoint in this delicious steamy story! You hit the nail on the head once again, Ms. Gibson!!!

Good Read

Any additional comments?

Enjoyed this story and would listen again. The characters were adequately developed, story was predictable but satisfying, and the interaction between Mark and Chelsea was entertaining and realistic. The narrator was probably the best one I have listened to yet. Would definitely listen to this book again and probably will.

Predictable

This story has been done a thousand times before. I still enjoyed it, probably because it had a hockey theme.

loved it!

another good one by one of my favorite authors. I laughed out loud and got teary-eyed, too.
