DUELING REVIEW: Any Man of Mine by Rachel Gibson

Dear Ms. Gibson, I’ve been reading your books for so many years and have enjoyed enough of them that when I hear a new one is coming out, I automatically make room in my reading schedule to at least look at it. And since the books with sports heroes are usually ones I like, the(…)

REVIEW: Nothing But Trouble by Rachel Gibson

REVIEW: Nothing But Trouble by Rachel Gibson

Dear Ms. Gibson, I am a slut for your hockey theme books. You can give me improbable plots and unlikeable characters but it you throw hockey into the mix, I will give up for your stories. Why? I like to watch big, strong macho guys fall for women who initially drive them nuts and I(…)

REVIEW: Not Another Bad Date by Rachel Gibson

Dear Ms. Gibson, After Jennie did a review of “Not Another Bad Date,” I saw her grade and mentally wilted a little. In fact, I wasn’t sure I even wanted to read it at that point. But after starting, and stopping, a horrible historical – asshole hero plus virgin martyr widow! – I thought, “why(…)

My First Sale by Rachel Gibson

My First Sale by Rachel Gibson

Rachel Gibson’s first book was Simply Irresistible, a secret baby romance, which featured a “charm school graduate and Southern belle extraordinaire” who runs away from being a trophy wife, has a one night stand, and goes on to build an empire (a small one, but still). I knew then that Gibson marched to the beat(…)

Not Another Bad Date by Rachel Gibson

Dear Ms. Gibson, Though I have read all of your books, in all honesty I’m not sure why. I liked your first book, Simply Irresistible, quite a bit, and loved your second, Truly, Madly Yours. Since then, your books have ranged from mediocre (I show five B- grades in my book log, which goes back(…)

REVIEW:  Tangled Up in You by Rachel Gibson

REVIEW: Tangled Up in You by Rachel Gibson

Dear Ms Gibson, In my last letter to you, I said I wasn’t as happy with I’m In No Mood For Love as I have with lots of your previous books. I’m a much happier camper after reading this book. I like the heroine, I like the hero, I like the heroine’s maloccluded cat. Maddie(…)

REVIEW: I’m in No Mood for Love by Rachel Gibson

Dear Ms Gibson, I’d have to say that most of your books have worked for me on some level and a few are favorites. But unfortunately while I enjoyed parts of this book, it doesn’t equal your past efforts. On the day of her best friend’s wedding, Clare Wingate is shocked to find her metrosexual(…)
