Too predictable

This book just felt like something I had heard before. It was predictable. The steamy scenes were pretty lame. Not worth it.

Meh

This just made me hope it would end from about halfway on. It was too much back and forth and not enough intrigue for me

I love this trouble!

Rachel Gibson is one of my favorite writers and Susan Bennett has the greatest narration for her characters. I enjoyed this book so much that as soon as it ended I listened to it all over again...that is a first for me. The story is funny, sweet and some good hot romance too. I can't wait until Audible gets more of Ms. Gibson's work on tape!!!

Love the Chinook's Hockey men series!

Read the book then bought the audio version to listen to in the car! Chelsea is a burned out personal assistant to the stars who was trying to make it into the movies as an actress. She's smart, sarcastic and figures she can put up with anyone for three months to earn a $10,000 bonus. Mark Bressler, ex-captain of the Chinooks, was in a horrible accident putting him in the hospital for months and ruining his hockey career. The year they are certain to win the Stanley Cup. Every healthcare worker they have sent to his house has left within hours. He's bitter, in pain, but not helpless (as he keeps reminding everyone) and knows the one thing he loves most is gone so why bother being nice? But Chelsea won't take no for an answer and works her way into his life and his heart. Until he finds out she was offered $10,000 to make it work. With her, he's happier than he's ever been and seeing possibilities he had ruled out, but was she in it for the money or for him? Some of your other favorite characters from past books make appearances as well -Ty Savage & Faith Duffy, John Kowalsky, Luc Martineau and of course Sam LeClaire and Vlad, the impaler. It's a great, funny, quick-moving story about love and sticking it out through the hard times. Come on Rachel -I need my fix! More hockey stories!

A Pleasure!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I really enjoyed this book and would recommend it to a friend that wanted a light yet meaningful story.

What did you like best about this story?

What I liked best about this story was nothing was too heavy or unbelievable. Without hitting you over the head the listener understood that each of the main characters were learning about themselves and improving as individuals as they grew in their relationship.

What about Susan Bennett’s performance did you like?

The narration was excellent. I thought several times when listening to this book how much more enjoyable listening to really good performance was. In fact it made the story that much better.

Chinooks Series is Hot, Fast & Fun

If you could sum up Nothing but Trouble in three words, what would they be?

Sweet, Sexy, HEA

Who was your favorite character and why?

I usually love the heros, but Chelsea is so true to her feelings. Rachel Gibson writes her emotions in a way that is raw and almost painful. Susan Elizabeth Phillips also has characters like this. The heroines are strong but still feminine

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

I LOVE listening to books. Ms. Bennett does an excellent job of defining the characters through voice and her consistency is amazing.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

YES! But I also didn't want it to end

Any additional comments?

If you like romance you will love this. There is enough romance but it's never too much!

good story....questionable narrator...

i like Rachel Gibson stories....the narrator was not the best choice....not horrible but got tired of listening to her at the end......mono-toned.

Enjoyable book

Any additional comments?

This is not great classic literature, but it is a well written and well performed book about a hockey player who is badly injured and can no longer play the sport he loves. His name is Mark and he is very depressed about his life because he no longer has a purpose. The hockey team hires a young woman to serve as his aide, but Mark does not want her (Chelsea) around and tries to run her off. Little Chelsea does not want to be run-off, so the struggle begins. Chelsea has a way of growing on people and Mark is no exception.

Sweet & steamy

I just recently started listening to Rachel Gibson. I missed the first two books in this series.
I really enjoy this one and will probably go back and catch the first two.

AWESOME NARRATION !!

OMG I am totally obsessed with Susan Bennett's narration. I have read the book before but Ms Bennett's dialogue takes the book to a whole new level. Loved it !
