Nothing But Trouble
He’s gorgeous, rich, sexy, super nice, and head-over-heels for her. So what’s the problem?
Her psychic best friend predicts that Laura Tanner is due to meet a prince—the man of her dreams. Not a likely scenario for a hard-working bar owner who’s better at karate-chopping rowdy patrons than hobnobbing with the silver-spoon crowd. When Ivy League lawyer Brandon Prince (a prince!) strolls into her bar, Laura admits he’s hard to resist. Brandon quickly realizes that this lovely, funny, take-no-prisoners woman is the special someone he’s always wanted.
Brandon is an expert at wooing women, and even a tough cookie like Laura can’t help but fall under his spell. Before she knows what’s happening, he’s lured her on a romantic adventure filled with laughter and desire. Dazzled, she begins to believe that she really can have this prince of a man as her own.
One problem: Brandon’s powerful mother is used to women chasing his family fortune, and she’ll do whatever it takes to keep yet another money-grubbing female out of his life. If a man is everything you’ve ever wanted, how can he also be nothing but trouble?

4 Fun Stars I received an ARC for a honest review from netgalley.
Jensen provides her readers with an easy to read, fun, light-hearted romance that provides the reader with smiles, laughs as well as some sizzle when needed.
Nothing but Trouble is a modern day fairy tale to savor and enjoy. No pumpkins but just the right amount of fairy dust to make you laugh out loud.
Brandon Prince is tall, dark and handsome, and has the money, snotty family going on for him. Typical wealthy gorgeous hero!
Then we have our Laura Tanner She's a feisty, independent and possessing her own bit of innocence that keeps her unsure of men in general. She wants to be a take care, do it on her own young lady
A cute and rather hilarious Fairy Godmother makes an appearance as Laura’s friend Ali, and Brandon's mother is the Wicked Queen. And does she fit the bill!
Finally, it's got the sweet HEA…but somehow Trish manages to provide her readers with a whole new twist on the Prince Charming finally making an appearance. Luckily we have a come to Jesus meeting with Brandon and his family and he realizes that he has to do something to get Laura back. Thank you Jesus! And a shout out to his mother for finally being a mother!
If you're looking for that easy summer read, this might just be the cute read you've been seeking!

This is the first book I have had the pleasure of reading by Trish Jensen, and I can happily say it won’t be my last. I was provided with a copy of Nothing but Trouble by Netgalley, and it is my pleasure to provide an honest review in exchange for the privilege.
Nothing but Trouble is a modern day fairy tale for us girls, to sit back and enjoy.
Brandon Prince tall, dark and handsome, from a well to do family.
Laura Tanner feisty, independent and just a little bit innocent when it comes to men. Used to looking after herself and relying on no-one.
We are also given a cute quirky Fairy Godmother in Laura’s friend Ali, and a Wicked Queen in the form of Brandon’s mother.
As to be expected its a “tale as old as time”……but Trish manages to inject a new spin on the meaning “someday my Prince will come”, in this easy-going, charming read.
If you are spending a few hours at the beach, or besides the pool, I can recommend Nothing but Trouble as good company for you.
I hope Trish, continues with this series and gives Ali and Hannah their own books too, they both have potential.

Title: Nothing But Trouble
Series: N/A
Author: Trish Jensen
Genre: Romance
Blurb: He’s gorgeous, rich, sexy, super nice, and head-over-heels for her. So what’s the problem?
Her psychic best friend predicts that Laura Tanner is due to meet a prince—the man of her dreams. Not a likely scenario for a hard-working bar owner who’s better at karate-chopping rowdy patrons than hobnobbing with the silver-spoon crowd. When Ivy League lawyer Brandon Prince (a prince!) strolls into her bar, Laura admits he’s hard to resist. Brandon quickly realizes that this lovely, funny, take-no-prisoners woman is the special someone he’s always wanted.
Brandon is an expert at wooing women, and even a tough cookie like Laura can’t help but fall under his spell. Before she knows what’s happening, he’s lured her on a romantic adventure filled with laughter and desire. Dazzled, she begins to believe that she really can have this prince of a man as her own.
One problem: Brandon’s powerful mother is used to women chasing his family fortune, and she’ll do whatever it takes to keep yet another money-grubbing female out of his life. If a man is everything you’ve ever wanted, how can he also be nothing but trouble?
Thoughts: Laura Tanner is a spunky bartender who is not impressed with men in general. So it's totally surprising when she finds herself being...well, distracted...by the confident man sitting in her bar. And when he rises to the challenge, what's a girl to do?
Brandon is not a prince in the traditional sense of the word. His last name is Prince, and he does have a lot of money, but he is not of the royal persuasion! But he is fascinated by the woman who managed to single handedly remove two unruly men from her bar, and vows to get to know her better. Pulling out all the stops, he brings in an Elvis impersonator playing pool and reduces himself to drawing doodles on balloons to win her over! But will he let her insecurities and his family separate them forever?
This book was one you don't want to put down - I read it from beginning to end in one sitting! Both characters were so engaging and funny that you couldn't help falling in love with them as characters. While I expected to read something along the lines of a Harlequin romance (even the cover was reminiscent of one of the old Silhouette SuperRomance covers), I was really surprised at how quickly it managed to gain your attention and keep it. While it does follow along with those classic tales of romance - and there is certainly nothing wrong with that! - it was immensely enjoyable to read such a well-done, charming tale. While it may be somewhat predictable, between Laura's quirky personality and Brandon's determination and charm, you won't find this a boring read! Loved it!

this book was a great quick read. i love romance books so i couldn't put down the chance to read this book. plus, the author is from the same area i live so it is a plus! I got this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
this book is about a girl who worked for everything in her life. she couldn't care less about a boy in her life right now. She divorced the last man she let in her life because he wanted to sit on the couch and do nothing. She has a horrible past, but she doesn't let that ruin what she is. she is glad that she was raised that way.
Laura owns a bar, and keeps a good job on running a tight ship. she is not afraid to take down a bar fight. being little everyone comes to the bar to she her in action, and for those that know her are scared to mess with her.
Laura has 2 best friends who come to the bar all the time. Ali, she works as waitress for the bar and she is psychic. Well, she can only tell the future from juice pulp! well Ali tell Laura that tonight is the night she will find her prince charming. Laura laughs because Ali is never right when she makes these predictions and no one ever says anything because that is what friends do.
Hannah is her other friend and works as a stock broker. she hates men just as much as Laura does, so they find themselves bad mouthing men all the time. Hannah give advice to the men who think they have a chance with Laura.
Brandon happens to come to the bar one night with his friend Ned. he is finally done with school and needs a break before he starts his job. he sees Laura breaking up a bar fight and knew he had to have her.
Brandon comes from lots of money. oh, did i mention his last name is prince! Brandon ends up making a bet with Ned that he can land a date with Laura
as you can see a lot will happens and i am not going to ruin it with anymore details just know this book is like the romance for 2 different worlds. like rich and poor. there is a lot of southern humor and will have you smiling. i am pretty sure you will finish this book within a couple hours if you would start it.

This is a refreshing story about a bar owner, Laura who comes from a simple yet poor life in North Carolina where she was raised by a father who wasn't very good at showing the love. Laura is tough, pig-headed and has a shield around her that seems three miles thick. Laura has some pretty cool friends too.
Ali - who reads juice pulp so that she can tell you your future love interest. Ali is quirky and light and just plain adorable.
Hannah - she is everything I want to be. She's tough as nails but deep down she just wants to be loved. She's protective of those she loves and is the type of friend that will hand a man his man-parts on a plate if he hurts her friend.
Laura is controlling the rif-raf in her bar when Brandon enters the picture. Brandon is just plain yummy. Funny, tenacious and inventive. He instantly falls for Laura and doesn't give up until she goes out with him. And the rest...you have to read the book for.
I read this book in about 3 hours. It was a fast read and one that was worth the time. It was fun and light, funny and sad (once), and just plain refreshing. It's a great story about falling in love and overcoming the obstacles that one's family can set in your path when the presume things about the person you fall in love with. I loved the "getting to know each other" parts of the book and the family dinner had me in stitches.
I would say though that this book would have been a 5 star for me if a little bit more time was spent on the love scenes. Rather than skipping over them, the author could have added a bit of heat without getting graphic if that is what she was after. I was disappointed a bit in this respect.
I give it a solid 4 stars. I really liked the book and would read another book by this author.

Review can also be found at Jackie's Book World
From the beginning to the very end, Nothing But Trouble had me laughing, gasping and squealing with excitement. Laura represents the qualities of a strong woman with a hidden past that prevents her from completely trusting men. When her friend tells her that she was going to meet her prince, she didn't know that her prince wasn't far away from her at all. On the other hand, Brandon wasn't looking to start a relationship, but when he and his friend decided to spend the night at the bar, he was surprised to find himself attracted to the very owner. Both Laura and Brandon's relationships starts off full of questions, but there is no denying their attraction for each other. As these two start to slowly get to know each other, they soon find out that there are other things in the way of their happiness that they will have to fix if they want to be together. I really liked the pace if the story, it is very well -written and it just keeps you wanting for more. I love Laura's personality, she doesn't let anyone else overpower her and her love for books/education makes her a strong and independent women that everyone can relate to. Their attraction for one another kept me wanting to know more about these characters and their future together. Overall, the story line was great, and the ending was amazing.

A terrific contemporary, romantic comedy
Laura Tanner, a Southern gal transplanted to New York City where she owns a bar, has been burned by love and has no interest in romance. Then a gorgeous man named Brandon Prince shows up in her bar the same night her psychic friend predicts Laura's "prince" will arrive and sweep her off her feet. But as much as they are instantly attracted to each other, Laura is not the only one with major commitment issues. On top of that, as far as Laura is concerned, the extreme wealth of Brandon's family makes his world so far from hers, they might as well be from different planets.
Laura is a feisty, independent heroine, and Brandon is smart, handsome and very, very sexy. Underneath all that, he has a strong streak of kindness and empathy, and his determined pursuit of Laura is full of deep emotion as well as witty repartee and comic situations.

I enjoyed that it was a simple and easy flowing heartfelt love story.
I loved Brandon he was sexy and smart and down to earth even though he had a privileged background. I wanted to see the green eyes for real. I loved his sappy lines, he had some good ones. Especially the last line. Swoonworthy
And Laura was hilarious and sassy, although I did feel like slapping her upside the head with all that we cant be together crap and not thinking she is good enough, it just didn't seem to suit her character, she seemed to change her personality through the story, and at some point I was rather confused as to why she was back tracking her decisions.
I really enjoyed the humour and the banter between to two main characters and loved seeing them fall in love.
I especially loved the meeting the parents scene I could reread that over and over completely hilarious.
I liked their was an offside romance among the friends, that brought a nice addition to the plot.
This was a fun short and sweet story the last line is the best line Ive read in a while (but wont spoil it for you).

I received the ARC of this title from the publisher via NetGallery for an honest review.
"Nothing But Trouble" was an okay read for me. While it was entertaining, fun, and sexy at times, I also found it predictable, cliche, and annoying.
The plot was a bit "plain" if you will but I did like the over all personalities of Brandon and Laura. While Brandon had this whole "I'm a ladies man" type of charming persona. Laura, on the other hand, had a more spitfire and "I'm not falling for that" type of attitude which I appreciated.
MY BIGGEST PEEVE in "Nothing But Trouble" was Brandon's mom. While I could see her concern over Brandon's interest in this middle class girl, I could not get over how meddlesome and stuck in her box she was. I LITERALLY wanted Brandon to grow a backbone and tell her where to stick it but that's just me. Heh.
Over all, not bad read but be prepared to be frustrated at times.

When Laura Tanner's psychic best friend predicts that Laura will meet a prince and fall in love, she took it with a grain of salt. After all, her friend was never right. But then rich, sexy, and sweet Brandon Prince (Prince!) walks into her bar, willing to do anything it takes to get Laura to go out with him, and Laura realizes she's in nothing but trouble.
I gotta say, Brandon had me from the first words out of his mouth. The antics in this book were just clever and entertaining. Not without its sweet moments, I rooted for both Laura and Brandon all the way. I love a heroine that the hero has to soften. Perfect. The setting was great, from the bar to the yacht, and the secondary characters were awesome. Seriously, reading one's future in juice pulp. Hilarious! My only quirk was I felt the romance was rushed. They unrealistically fell without a lot of back up. In saying that, I was undeterred in reading. Recommended.

NOTHING BUT TROUBLE… AND LOVE
Trish Jensen fills up the fun cup with her tale of a Cinderella (bar)maid finding her Prince. Brandon Prince, that is. Story comes complete with a bit of magic (her friend who “reads” pulp from fruit juices to give psychic insights); the wicked stepmother (Brandon’s); and a whole lot of lovin’. While no glass slipper makes an appearance, since the setting for the love story is a bar, we’ll call that the glass connection. This is a great feel-good story, from beginning to end and it moves quickly enough to keep your interest. Some very humorous parts as they try to reconcile their economic/societal differences, relying heavily on some stereotypes (Redneck southern habits, for instance) and resulting in an “Officer & A Gentleman” style ending.
Stick it in your beach bag, girls – this one’s a keeper!
Oops – almost forgot my “disclaimer” LOL! I received a copy of this book in exchange for an HONEST review! And I honestly ADORED it!

ARC was provided by Belle Bridge Books via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. This was a quickie read that moved entirely too fast to be believable. I knew the plot and how the story would unfold before I was 10 pages in. I loved Laura Tanner's no holds barred attitude but her personality quickly fizzled out as she became involved with Brandon. There wasn't much character development and the entire book felt rushed. Because Nothing But Trouble didn't have much in the way of surprises, it was a bit boring to read. Also, the book description was a bit misleading, as it made it seem like the crux of the drama was with Brandon's mother accepting Laura. Brandon's mother doesn't come in to the picture until the last quarter of the book. And even then, she didn't offer much in the way of drama. Meh, not worth reading in my opinion.

Review featured on www.books-n-kisses.com
Another adorable read from Trish Jensen. This is a short story only about 14 reading pages and worth every page.
I thought Brandon was just so cute. He was written with a wonderful sense of humor and romance. I liked Laura too. She is a hard working southern girl trying to make it in the big apple. They are worlds apart but they just click. Some of the things Brandon does are so endearing that it is hard not to smile when you read his parts of the story.
I have to say there was a couple of things I didn’t care for like the ending just didn’t do it for me and a couple of other small things but even with that this book is a delight. If you like a good sweet romance then this is the book to pick up.

Nothing But Trouble is a fun light read! Brandon is your typical gorgeous sexy man who has a privileged background. Laura on the other hand is not your typical heroine. She's a kick ass woman, feisty, independent funny and sassy! She owns a bar called "Nothing But Trouble"
The two met when Brandon comes to the bar with his friend and watch her breaking down a fight... and well, he was fascinated by her and the rest are history!
There is not much going on here, since this is a short read the book felt rush and not much character development between them. It's an okay book, I still enjoyed it specially Brandon! He is such a sweetheart!
Overall, I recommend this if you're looking for something fun quick romance!

Fun light contemporary romance. Bar owner Laura Tanner has come up the hard way. She has earned everything she has. Brandon Prince was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Laura comes from a single parent home in the south and Brandon comes from the perfect family in the north. So when they meet you would think they’d have nothing in common. Well except for the explosive chemistry they seem to have for each other. Can Brandon convince Laura that they have a chance despite coming from different worlds?
I enjoyed this light romance. Mostly because I got a real kick out of Laura. I hope the author is going to write Ned & Hannah’s story.

Really quick review of this book - Nothing But Trouble.
If you have a ... let say five hour flight ahead, buy this book in airport and when you get off the plane again, give this book to somebody who is about to board the plane.
It's really quick unbelievable story about love at first sight, about people from different backgrounds, different upbringings and different views at life. About supportive friends and about mother-in-law who is at firs ready to throw her son's sweetheart back to streets but them begs her son to go after her.
Just a sweet short story to kill couple of hours and then forget all about it.

Three words.......OH MY GOODNESS.......sexy, sexy!!
Ok, so I read this book in a few hours. I did not want to put it down. This was not like the typical romance books that I read. This one was fun. Between Laura's sasisness and Brandon's hilarious ideas, I was intrigued and hooked. I would read this book over and over again. The steps Brandon went through to get Laura to date him are beyond funny to me. He is sarcastic and I LOVE sarcastic. I would recommend this book to any romance lover out there!
I also have to say that the cover.....well......HELLO!! He is some kind of HOT! *giggle*

To be honest, I was a little bored. I had a hard time sitting and finishing the book. The plot was a little bit blah, the synopsis made it seem like Brandon's mom was going to be a bigger problem whereas she was bitchy in the book for all of five minutes before telling him to marry her, and there was insta-love. Laura was a redneck hick from North Carolina and Brandon was a silver spooner. There was this huge buildup of the plot before it just fell flat. Definitely boring and definitely not worth the time.

I received an ARC of this book by Net Galley. When I first started reading this book, I was hoping for something light and fun. I was not disappointed. This story, while probably cliche to some, was entertaining from the beginning. In addition to the lovable main characters, the friends and family that surround them are equally likable and make the story come to life. I enjoy Laura's tenacity and fierce independence and Brandon's respect of that. Overall, I enjoyed this book and will recommend it to my friends.

I liked the eclectic mix of characters that added color to the central story. Things were happening in the periphery that made the main characters more alive to me. I adore that the heroine, Laura, was a take charge kind of girl - one that didn't NEED a man but certainly got one that was a good compliment to her. The hero, Brandon treated Laura like a PRINCEss (pun intended) in the sense that he was creative, helpful and seemed intent on adding to her life and not detracting from it. A real spicy and satisfying read.

NOTHING BUT TROUBLE by Trish Jensen
PUBLISHED: April 30, 2013
REVIEW BY: Reading in Pajamas/Donna
RATED: 3.5 Stars
REVIEW:
This was a light fun story that makes you think of fairytale romances. Laura and Brandon's attraction was instant, even though they were from different worlds. The rich boy, poor girl storyline was a bit predictable, but it was still an enjoyable quick read and perfect for a lazy day at the beach.

4.5 stars.
I LOVED the characters. The only criticism I have is I wish it would have been longer. Their relationship developed a bit too fast to be totally believable, but it was a fun read with extremely likable characters and snappy dialogue. I loved the interaction between the two main characters.

Nothing But Trouble by Trish Jensen
Nothing But Trouble by Trish Jensen is a great summer read. This book is the perfect length to lie out poolside or on the beach and read; not too short, not too long. This is the second book that I have read by this author and I like both books. Ms. Jenson has not let me down yet.

3.5/5 stars! An extremely fun book. The story was somewhat fairytale-ish and unrealistic, but it was very entertaining. A LOT of flirting and back 'n' forth between the H/h. Some annoying mellow drama at the end but on the whole it was a good, quick, light read.
