Summary: Mitchell the nice guy
Review: Mitchell Stone has had it with always being the good guy. So he decides to become a "player', he thinks that is what women want. The story is funny and cute as you follow Mitchell from the "The Nice Guy" to " The Dog" - covering his bald spot with shoe polish and hanging around the town's most wanted dogs, whom he asks for instructions. All this to gain the heart of Nikki, the woman he really wants. And Nikki who has always been fond of Mitchell but never thinks of him seriously because after all he is " Nice Guy", starts to wonder when she sees him stepping out with other ladies. She finally takes notice. The story was funny, A nice slow romance read. It leaves you wonder about all those " Nice Guys", maybe they aren't so hum drum if given the chance..02.. our first review didn't post.

Summary: Every Good Guy Needs A Lady
Review: 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. Reviewed by Diane Marbury (HonestD)

Summary: Seems to be a trend
Review: No More Mr. Nice Guy is basically a story of a man being rejected because he's labeled a "nice guy." Mitchell Stone, the nice guy, was just informed by Nikki Coleman . . . the lady of his dreams . . . she will only consider him as a friend. This news comes after Mitchell spends three months and big bucks on a "sexless friendship." So, he decided to make a change and called a meeting of the most notorious "dogs" (players) he knew ... looking for a tutor, as he contemplate on making some changes. There are some other things going on in the story other than Mitch's transformation process. Such as: Nikki's law suit for sexual harassment, which was a bit interesting and she has trouble finding the right lawyer. There is also the business with Nikki's absentee father, Gene Coleman and her trying to come to terms with him . . . now this is definitely a plus in the story. However, the main plot was predictable and very irritating for me, but that's a personal issue. As Mitch learns his set of "dog rules" and begins to play the "game," guess whose eye he catches. He's living up to his new lifestyle, Nikki has a change of heart but . . . Mitch now has a secret he's trying to hide. The book was not an easy read for me. I struggled to finish it. Nikki tells Mitch that a lot of girls would love to have a nice guy, but she just wasn't one of them. She prefers her lover Jomo whom she shares with him "loving" others. She knows this and accepts this. This book rings so true. I see it around me; women and even girls wanting "a thug" or "bad boy" who doesn't respect them lesser known are faithful to them . . . I guess that's why there's so many "baby daddies." When Mitch's secret comes to light, it irked me that Nikki had the nerves to be upset . . . after all, she wanted a player. Me, I'll rather have a "nice guy." But Robinson did a great job in weaving in all the different aspects of the story. So, the only complaint with the writing was the predictability of the main story. I would recommend No More Mr. Nice guy to someone who enjoys "street fiction" and drama. Felicia

Summary: Funny yet cautious novel
Review: 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.

Summary: Robinson Holds His Own With The BEST MALE Authors!!
Review: No More Mr. Nice Guy was the first book that I had read by C. Kelly Robinson, but it will not be my last. How many times has a man or woman let the dismal dating scene turn them from good to bad? How many times have you seen a good guy finish last? Well, my answer to both questions is numerous times; but never have I seen it taken to the level that Mitchell Stone's character embarked upon. This book had me intriqued. It was a page turner. It offered a lot of insight on relationships, similar to the movie Love Jones. But with or without the insight...this book is a must read. You will be entertained from beginning to end. Mitchell decides that if you can't beat them, join them after he finds himself trapped in the friendship zone. He spent weeks being a perfect gentleman, while wining and dining Nikki (the love of his life). Once he puts his cards and heart on the table, she dismisses him like a simple school boy. He decided not to take his dismissal meekly. He fast forwards their date and tells Nikki (page 5) "So how do we split this bill? I can pay for the appetizers, but you'll need to handle your own entree, drinks and half the bottle of Chablis." I would pay mad money to see the look on Nikki's face (Hint, Hint...maybe this is movie material). Mitchell sent out a memo inviting some brothers AKA The Dog Pound to a night of networking at O'Dells Chicken & Waffle Shack. Even those that detest a potential Amway meeting would attend for free food. The results of the meeting produced Tony and his consultant Trey. They were going to train him on how to be a dog. Tony lists six Dog Rules along with a disclaimer. The story picks up speed as Mitchell implements the rules. As he implements the rules, an unexpected chain of events throws his carefully crafted plan awry. There are a host of clever characters that you will meet throughout this story. The story is also told by both Mitchell and Nikki, which adds flavor and energy to the story. C. Kelly Robinson is a master story teller that can hold his own with the best. You will be on the edge of your seat in suspense pending the outcome of The Dog Rules and MItchell's relationship with Nikki. Will he master the game or will the game master him? The author supplies a reading group guide at the end of the book. Kudos to C. Kelly Robinson for a great novel. Thanks for extending the personal invitation to read this book. It is nice to know that you read the reviews on Amazon.

Summary: Superficial Comedy/Romance
Review: Set amidst the Chicago buppie set, this occasionally entertaining romance reads like a decent soap opera / movie-of-the-week, complete with nicely wrapped- in- a-bow moral. The book kicks off with "nice-guy" Mitchell getting rejected by a beautiful woman, which leads him to ask the book's central question: why do women whine about the lack of good men when they only date "players." Alas, this question is never adequately answered as Mitchell embarks on a zany scheme to transform himself from nice-guy to player-dog with the help of two player friends. The results of this are totally predictable in Robinson's "be careful of what you wish for, you just might get it" cautionary tale. Predictable as it all is, it's well-told, with nice pacing, dialogue, and fair-mindedness. It's the kind of light comedy writing which is really better suited to television or film though, lacking any real depth or truly tough issues. The characters are all so wealthy and privileged that it's hard to really care about all the drama they create for themselves. The reading guide seems to indicate that the book is intended to provoke some kind of dialogue between the sexes, which is a pretty sad commentary if it's true that people need a book like this to figure their business out.

Summary: No More Being Nice
Review: 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.
