Book Description

Publication Date: 2002

Mitchell Stone has had it! No more Mr. Nice Guy. Sick and tired of dates that end with a pat on the back, he's decided it's time to even his odds with the ladies and become the type of man they really seem to want: a mysterious, mischievous, deceitful Dog! With the help of his "Player" instructors, Tony and Trey, he's dipping his toe into a stream of booty calls, baby-mamas, and sexual spin, winning over every woman who crosses his path! Nikki Coleman has had it, too! The men in her life have been good for one thing: disappointment. There's her high school sweetheart, Barry, a successful attorney who got someone else pregnant and derailed Nikki's early hopes of marriage. Then there's Jomo, a guitarist who's great in bed-except Nikki's not the only one he's great in bed with. There's Mitchell Stone, an old friend and fellow executive at her record company, who's handsome but just a little too nice. Last but not least, there's her father, Gene Coleman, who took a few years to acknowledge that, yeah, she's his. Now that a case of sexual harassment has Nikki on the verge of losing her job and with it her entire career in the music industry, the lack of a strong man in her life is even more painful. She can survive on her own, but in her heart she wants a Mr. Right to stand by her side and help her ride out the storm. Meanwhile, Mitchell is well on his way to becoming a real Player. With his handbook of "Dog rules" and a new, swaggering style, he's attracting women left and right. He's even got Nikki reconsidering their just-friends status. But has this Dog bitten off more than he can chew? And will Mitchell's newfound womanizing ways come back to bite him before he and Nikki find true love?

4.0 out of 5 stars Funny yet cautious novel, October 21, 2002

By

Cydney Rax "rmn1994" (Houston, TX United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: No More Mr. Nice Guy: A Love Story (Strivers Row) (Paperback)

No More Mr. Nice Guy may have you laughing yet feeling cautious. Laughing because it is funny when a normally conservative guy decides he wants to learn how to become a 'dog' so he can score with the women. But it's not as if he wants all women, just one particular one named Nikki, a female who doesn't seem interested in Mitchell until he shows her a different side.

The caution, though, comes when the reader sees the consequences and drama that may ensue when a man makes a choice to be reckless in his dating/relationships. Using hip dialogue, relationship analysis, and fairly presenting both sides of the issues regarding male and female relationships, this novel should make a connection with both men and women.

There are tons of characters in the book so you have to make sure and keep up, however the story pace is fast, the male antics are funny, and the end resolution is suitable in this charming and commendable novel from C. Kelly Robinson.

4.0 out of 5 stars Finding Mr Right, April 5, 2003

By

K. Kimbrough "kkimbr7" (Bakersfield, Ca United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: No More Mr. Nice Guy: A Love Story (Strivers Row) (Paperback)

Every woman is looking for Mr. Right but none of them ever wants the nice guy. Well, that is what Mitchell Stone has concluded. So he has decided. No More Mr. Nice Guy!

This novel by C. Kelly Robinson is the story of Mitchell Stone the eternal Mr. Nice Guy that women like but can't seem to love. After a disappointing date with Nikki Coleman, he decides to gather his "playa" friends and learn the life of booty calls, baby mamas and sexual spins sleeping with every woman crossing his path; with Nikki Coleman at the top of the list.

Nikki Coleman is searching for Mr. Right and finds that every man she has been involved with has been a disappointment. In the midst of as a sexual harassment suit she has a renewed interest in the new Mitchell Stone. However, she finds that the old Mitchell may be the one that she needs.

C. Kelly Robinson must of had a good time writing this novel because I had a good time reading it. It was so entertaining. The whole discussion of "men are dogs" and women make us this way" is on point. Although it was bit predictable in parts, this book will have you talking for days. It is the perfect book to read if you have a male/female Bookclub, if not read it
anyway. A Highly recommended read!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Masterful Job!!!!, December 25, 2002

By

William "FREDRICK" Cooper (Bronx, New York) - See all my reviews

This review is from: No More Mr. Nice Guy: A Love Story (Strivers Row) (Paperback)

Chet Robinson has done a fine job with this tome. What surprised me about his effort was the way the author tapped into the mind of a woman with excellent use of emotions. I remember sitting on a plane, en route to San Antonio, Texas by way of Cincinnati. The trip was 3 hours. My journey was spent reading 200 plus pages of this outstanding book!!!!

Mitchell Stone, a nice guy at the breaking point, prfofesses his long nurtured feelings for Nikki over dinner. And from this ill-timed confession to its satisfying conclusion, Mr. Robinson takes into a neighborhood where many guys dwell. Men will be high-fiving when reading about Mitchell Stone's truths while transforming himself into the bad boy women seem to covet. While very, very entertaining, it reveals a sad truth about the dating scene in light hearted form. Many women just don't appreciate Good guys. Unless, of course, they've been played like a Parker Brothers board game. Do we really have to transform ourselves, as Mitchell did, to get the women of our dreams?

Even in this revelation, Chet takes Mr. Stone back to his authenticity at novels end, this coming after plenty of drama, however. Drama that is weaved into some amazing, astounding writing. Great job, Chet!!!!!
