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.

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!

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!!!!!

How many times as women have we met a man that we thought was "the one", only to be left behind with the nagging question of "what in the hell just happened here"?

Mitchell Stone, a financial analyst, and Nikki Coleman, an associate director in promotions, are both seeking solace in the dating game. Mitchell is looking for more than just a one night stand, he's looking for a committed relationship, while Nikki is comfortable with her nocturnal "stress" relievers. Even though she and Mitchell have been seeing each other for a few months, he is jut too "nice" for her. For that reason Nikki has never considered the two of them ever being more than just friends. Once confronted by Mitchell about their lukewarm friendship Nikki shuts him down without giving it a second thought, maybe losing out on the best thing that has ever happened to her.

Tired of being rejected and placed in the "can I lean on you for advice" category when seeking a meaningful relationship that lasts longer than a few hours, Mitchell decides to trade in his "Nice Guy" qualities for the ultimate unwritten guide on how to be the best dog that you can be. Searching for the best professional help with his decision, Mitchell decides to put together a "Playa's Ball" consisting of males who are known to possess the skills to enhance his next move. The only problem with this is all that glitters isn't gold, finding out what true playas really go through may not be as easy and rewarding as it seems.

When I first read the synopsis was I hoping that the author would be able to shed some light on the issue of what triggers a man to become a dog without harping on which gender is to blame. C. Kelly Robinson has thoroughly enhanced "No More Mr. Nice Guy" with personal perspectives from both the female and the male mind. The best part came when each character found themselves in positions where they reaped what they sowed. Positive or negative the finalities were on point and had me questioning my own contributions in previous relationships, reminding me that regardless of gender "every dog has its day".

This was a kind of humdrum read about the dating scene. It could have been better if there were more plot twists and turns.I thought this story was a little underdeveloped. It was like that same old dating scene stuff but without any real excitement. So people take this one out of the library. Not one to add to your personal library.

THIS BOOK IS ABOUT A GUY NAME MITCHELL WHO HAS NO LUCK WITH THE WOMAN IN HIS LIFE. HE STARTS TO THINK THAT ALL WOMEN WANT ARE MEN WHO ARE DOGS. SO HE GETS TWO OF THE BIGGEST DOGS IN TOWN TO TRAIN HIM, HE NOT ONLY BECOMES THE DOG THAT EVERY WOMAN WANTS HE GETS A LITTLE CLOSER TO THE WOMAN THAT HE WANTS. BUT HIS PLAYER WAYS MIGHT MAKE HIM LOOSE THE WOMAN HE WANTS ALONG WITH OTHER THINGS. THE BOOK IS OK BUT THE ENDING WAS NOT GOOD AT ALL.

No More Mr. Nice Guy is a sweet Cinderella story with a slight
twist. Cinderella is a male, Mitchell Stone, who's bane of existence
is not being a stepchild, but a nice guy. Mitchell Stone has played
by the rules all of his life and in most areas that has worked for
him. However, the one area where the rules failed him was his love
life. Being a nice guy hampered his ability to get the
attention of the women he wanted. As a result, he mastered the art
of being a good friend.

Nikki Coleman is a woman who has had her share of bad guys. She has
begun to view love as an elusive thing and settle for no strings
attached relationships. Nikki is an overachiever in all of the
other areas in her life, but she seems doomed to stay handicapped in
the love arena.

At the beginning of the story, Nikki and Mitchell find themselves on
a date that will impact their lives in an irreversible fashion.
Mitchell asserts his interest a long term relationship with Nikki
and Nikki relegates Mitchell to the dreaded friend status. Mitchell
decides that he has enough friends and wants a woman and after an
explosive end to their date, Mitchell renounces his good
guy ways. He solicits the aid of two "player" friends and enlists in
a "dog" training program.

No More Mr. Nice is a charming story told from the perspective of
Nikki and Mitchell as they both struggle to find their way in the
world of romance. The author throws in a great supportive
cast of friends and relatives and an environment which is filled
with corporate takeovers, sexual harassment, and disjointed familial
ties. No More Mr. Nice Guy is a feel good book that will
leave a smile on the reader's face.

I was eagerly looking forward to reading this book but I was a tad bit disappointed.

Mitchell Stone is your typical nice guy that can't find a decent woman no matter how hard he tries. Out of the blue he runs into Nikki, the girl that he had a crush on in high school. Nikki and Mitchell date but Mitchell wants to take the relationship to a higher level, meanwhile Nikki is just looking for someone to do the things that the other men in her life won't do.

After a date with Nikki, Mitchell decides that a nice guy is not what the ladies want, he thinks that they want a dog. Mitchell decides to transform himself into a dog along with the help of friends.

Mitchell didn't realize that being a dog comes with a price and Nikki realizes you don't miss what you have until it's gone.

Overall this was a pretty good read, it just appeared to be superficial at times to me.

A give and take kind-of book that deals with the relationship between "A Good" man and the love of his life. NO MORE MR. NICE GUY is a little on the "wordy" side, but a good read non-the less. Written by a contemporary male author, it is astounding that Mr. Robinson was able to tap into the actions and minds of today's single black females with such accuracy. Mr. Robinson brings to light the old question, " If women `claim' to want a good man, then why do they only date the bad boy-player type?"

I would recommend this book to readers that enjoy peeking over the fence to see "the grass on the other side." Be prepared to see a lot of your actions and people you know in these pages.

The cool thing about an airplane is that it takes off at great speed, but then it evens off a bit. It's wonderful because we're comfortable, and eventually we get somewhere. Unfortunately, those qualities are undesirable in a novel, especially in one with such a potentially great storyline as this one. It's even further dismaying when you don't get anywhere. The first couple of pages of No More Mr. Nice Guy are good, but after those, the fun stops and you're left with a bland writing style and page after page of characters that you feel no sympathy for. Some books you can't put down. Others make you want to stop being so nice and demand a refund.
