Critic reviews

“With humor and eloquent prose, Gibson brings substance and depth to this loving, modern romance.” ( Publishers Weekly)

good book

This is a great idea for a book, well written, good narrator. BUT.... I really take offence to the Canadian hockey player saying "EH" all the time. I am CANADIAN!! And I have yet to met another Canadian that says EH. This is such an insulting thing to put in a book.

Hilarious!

Just what I have been looking for! I finished all of Susan Elizabeth Phillips novels and was desperately in search for another author similar to her! She does such an amazing job of telling a great story with just enough true feeling/steaminess/hilarious moments! Rachel Gibson nailed it on the head! I wish the end was a bit longer. I felt as if it was rushed- but beggars can't be choosers. And she is one of the best contemporary romance novelist i've read in awhile! Couldn't put it down and can't wait to read the rest!

Fantastic!

Loved the characters and dialog. First time reading this author but will look for more. Thoroughly enjoyable read!

Another wonderful story from Rachel Gibson

What did you love best about True Love and Other Disasters?

The story is wonderful and heartwarming and is written in Rachel Gibson's usual style of humor and the reader/listener identifying with the character. Susan Bennett really brings the characters to life.

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

She adds life to the characters, gives them a "tangible" presence. Really good readers bring added dimension to the characters. Awesome.

Good overall listen on my beach walk.

I enjoyed it

Any additional comments?

I listen to a lot of audio books because I travel and thought this was very light and entertaining. I like to listen to chick lit or romance and I thought this was very much in line with those.

Very cute

Enjoyed it very much. Although there was a touch of SEP, it still was a good story in its own right. I did run hot and cold for the reader, liked the reading very much one moment not so much the next. I will look for other books by this author, worth a second listen.

Makes me wanna watch a hockey game!

Looking forward to the second part. Love the author and the narrator. Rachel Gibson rocks! The Chinooks rocks as well!

Canucks NOT canooks!!!

this story has a lot of female drama in it. A good deal of explicit sex and sex talk. and the narrator does not know how Canadians use "eh". She also mispronounced the name of the Vancouver Canucks. It rhymes with luck, shuck, huck, muck etc. It does not rhyme with crook. Also Canadians add "eh" to the last word in the sentence, no pause. for ex. "It's been a good runeh?" or "come in out of the coldeh?" turning the sentence into a question. NO PAUSE!!! other than getting unreasonably irritated at that, the book was okay. Story a bit weak, it's a typical romance. If that is what you are looking for that's what you are getting.

Loved it.

This is my first time listening to a Rachel Gibson book. I loved it. Thought the narrater did a good job. I hope audible releases any more of Rachel's books that are available on audio, especially the rest of this series (Chinook's Hockey Team).
