I'm In No Mood For Love by Rachel Gibson

While the second in a series, you don't really need to read the first to fully enjoy this one. His tie catching the breeze, her heels clicking on the kitchen floor- little things like that made the characters feel three dimensional and that you simply don't get in this genre too often. The aspiring writer in me became envious of how effortlessly she'd have the characters move around a room and give us simple little things to make them come alive. I loved that the hero's point of view had a prominent part of the book. Sebastian, (okay a little too good to be believed, but what romance novel hero isn't?), is well drawn and supplies much of the humor in this book.įinally, I adore Gibson's writing style. Clare is a modern woman and it's easy to identify with her. In my opinion, I'm In No Mood For Love is outstanding for many reason but mostly because it is totally character driven- really not much of a plot other than them getting together. I was totally shocked to see this book getting bad reviews on Amazon. Still this is one hot couple and I'm glad Gibson put them together. Clare and Sebastian feel instant heated attraction but, because of their history, they don't quite believe it, much less trust it. I love the 'we've been friends forever and now we're suddenly more' hook and it works well here. Their relationship doesn't just come together, however, she's nursing a broken heart and he's got a career to think of- plus he's a commitment phobe- but when Clare realizes she's no longer gonna follow the path she's taken in the past when it comes to men, Sebastian must face some things about himself as well- or lose the woman he's come to care for more than any other. Until one passionate kiss rocks their world. When Sebastian decides to stay a few more days to spend time with the Dad he's lost touch with, he and Clare are thrust together forcing them to reacquaint when both just want to run away. Sure he played the perfect gentleman and didn't touch her- well almost- but he's finding it difficult to get the image of her stripping down before him out of his mind. Sebastian Vaughan has known Clare since they were kids but seeing her in a sexy pink thong has put a different spin on things. When she accidentally gets loaded the night of the reception, she awakens to find herself in a hotel room with a man she's known all her life but hasn't seen for ages. But she's determined to set it aside til her best friend gets married. Clare Wingate's carefully ordered life fell apart before her eyes when she walked in on her fiance playing cowboy with the Sears repairman on the closet floor.
