Love in Disaster
In New Orleans for a conference, exhausted English professor Kit Kelly has been going through the motions in just about every regard for some time now. She’s tired of her job and sick of sleeping around, and her life is starting to feel like one long, stale rerun of similar days and nights. A chance encounter with Teddy, a local chef, stirs an enthusiasm for life she hasn’t felt in a long time, but news of an impending hurricane threatens to disrupt what they’ve just begun.

**'When the story is told more with words than visuals it makes for a bad talky-talky book..'
Still trying to recover from major disappointment after reading as the title says 'Love in Disaster' -- it was really just that literally. Its a big 'NO,NO!' when it comes to using this topic or title as a source for this storyline -- was distasteful because its one of the worst times in US history so let the past stay in the past; people are still in pain and traumatized. The characters has no depth,they are both shallow & very dense which then leads the story being the typical lesbian stereotype, also over the top sex scenes and the writing lacks energy or connection which didn't help whatever side stories the author tries to include concerning its supporting cast because the drama surrounding all of them felt like filler and was more of a distraction than anything. By the time i got to the end i was just overly excited to see the two mains characters with one another because i so wanted this book to end.

This is the second novel I have read by Charlotte Greene (the other being A Palette for Love), and I liked both. Her writing style suits me very well for now. Love in Disaster takes us through the budding romance between two interesting characters just before, during and right after destructive events of hurricane Katrina in the city of New Orleans. It is obvious that Greene has an excellent understanding of the events as well as the city itself.
The main characters Kit (Katriona Kelly) and Teddy (Theodora Rose) are believable and complex. The same is true for the secondary character Becky, who is one of the better in that category I have encountered recently. Teddy is sometimes tiring and kind of fickle, and she is still a mystery to me to some extent, and not only because of the point of view, which is exclusively Kit's (third-person limited). But despite that I warmed up to and finished the book liking her, but not as much as Kit. For me Kit is definitely the better part of this interesting paring.
Beside good characterization and setting, all other elements of a well-written book are there -- plot, dialogue, pacing... After a somewhat slower start, the rest of the story reads easily and quickly. The erotic scenes are nicely done, and are very well incorporated into the story.
All in all, I will keep an eye on Greene's new offerings in future.

This is my second book by Greene, the first being A Palette for Love. I liked A Palette quite a bit, unfortunately, this book was just okay for me. I had a hard time connecting to the characters, and that stopped me from really enjoying the book.
The story is about Kit, and English Professor at a conference in New Orleans. When she meets a local chef Teddy, the attraction and affair is immediate. But with Kit leaving back to San Fransisco, an affair is all it can be. With news of Hurricane Katrina baring down on Louisiana, Kit and Teddy find themselves together. Can they make it through the storm and have a chance at a relationship?
While I liked the first part of the book, especially the sites and sounds of New Orleans, the second half really fizzled out for me. Hurricane Katrina, is a tough subject to read about. For a long time, books about Katrina and 9-11, I just could not read them. I have been reading a few books about Katrina recently, that were well done, and I got through them. I guess I just thought the love in a disaster part of this book, would really get to me, and it just didn't. I think I would have liked this book better if Katrina was not a part of it.
My other issue was with the characters. I had a lot of issues with Teddy. I did not care for her at all, and could not see why Kit was so caught up in her. I didn't get the chemistry. It was obvious they were attracted to each other, but I didn't feel love. Kit was a good character, a bit of a firecracker and I liked her temper, I just wish she had a better partner.
This book was not bad by any means, but it was not better than okay for me. I will still read Greene in the future, and would recommend A Palette for Love, before I would recommend this book.

Firstly i must say i loved the cover thought it was really beautiful.
I really enjoyed Charlotte Greens last book, 'A Palette for Love' and thats what drew me in with this book. Unfortunately it just didn't hit the mark.
The first part of the novel i really got into and enjoyed both the main protagonists interaction but thats where my enjoyment ended unfortunately. I couldn't understand how these two where meant to be together and the chemistry wasn't as heated as i thought it would be. I didn't enjoy the ending i just thought that at's career change was a little far fetched. The time during Hurricane Katrina felt a little disjointed and i felt the pace was a little off. I didn't warm to Teddy at all doing this section of the book and that left me feeling disappointed because i need to like or sometimes love both characters for a book to work.

The title and blurb are what initially attracted me to this story, and then the hopes that I’d find a new author to be on the lookout for.
I found myself immersed in the first half of the book; the chase between the heroines and the uncertainty of these two unlikely characters having a future together.
Then disaster struck and from that point on the story went down hill for me. While the entire event was scary as hell, I didn’t feel any real urgency. Teddy going into so called shock came across as odd and rather drawn out, not that I’m an expert on the condition.
Once they were able to move on, three dogs in tow, the inevitable ‘must have conflict in a story’ reared its ugly head. And I say that as I would’ve been more satisfied if it hadn’t in this instance. Wasn’t the hurricane enough conflict? Apparently not!
So, lets make these two part ways and introduce a wayward brother and elderly father to make the heroine seem like a great daughter. This went on and on and on and by the time the end was in sight I no longer cared if Kit and Teddy ever saw each other again.
While there was a Happy Ever After, sadly I didn’t feel it, so this story left me feeling rather underwhelmed.
Four stars for the first half, two for the second, overall rating 3 stars.

While I enjoyed the first part of the book, and the whole "getting" together thing with Teddy and Kit, I have to sat that the second part of the book was a bit of a disappointment for me. Even though the whole hurricane disaster was truly scary, it was kind of rushed, and Teddy going into shock seemed written randomly and not particularly skillfully. I don't even know why it had to be there, because to me, it seemed redundant.

Review of Love in disaster by Charlotte Greene
This is the second book I read by this author and both for me rate at 3 stars. This book caught my attention because Hurricane Katrina left a deep mark in people's memories, even for those of us who witnessed its powerful destruction from a distance. There is so much potential in writing about this sad moment in American history that my expectations were high. Unfortunately, I was left disappointed.
First of all, I didn't feel the chemistry between the main characters. Kit, a lecturer of English based in San Francisco starts an affair while visiting New Orleans with Teddy, a chef and restaurant owner. I found Kit superficial first and outright needy as the story unfolded. I didn't find the character believable in addition to the situation surrounding her stay in New Orleans despite the hurricane advance warnings. It seemed to me that the author tried to force the plot for Kit to stay in the city. Secondly, I felt that the author lost the opportunity to show us the despair and real impact of the hurricane in people's lives. This book is, in my opinion, miles away from JM Redmann's take on Katrina in her books Death of a dying man and Water mark which are both very recommendable.
Overall, an ok read. 3 stars.

New Orleans equals good eats, rich culture and Hurricane Katrina. What a dichotomy of awesome food and a devastating storm. In the midst of it all, romance. Katriona Kelly is a professor looking for purpose in her life and love. Kit has been whipped by one night stands and a maxed out career she is no longer interested in. Her friend Becky is quite interesting in regard to being a supportive friend and an admirer of women. Theodora is a chef skirting through life on one night stands and a family she is at odds with. Her love for her dogs Jingo, Bingo, and Dot was so sweet, especially when they played together. As Kit and Teddy grow closer so does Hurricane Katrina. It is interesting to read how they work together and support each other during such unfathomable circumstances. I thought the unspeakable give and take between between Kit and Teddy was one of the most enjoyable parts of the book. You do not have to be strong all the time and you can rise up when needed. By the way, if you enjoy reading about making out, this is the read for you.

I couldn't finish this book. I started a bit ago..could not get into it. Tried again last night...made it to the halfway point. I found the main characters annoying. I felt no chemistry. I never even made it to the storm. This was the second book by this author for me. I didn't enjoy the first one either. So obviously it's just a compatibility issue!

Having read quite a lot of journalism as well fiction set around New Orleans during and in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina Death of a Dying Man & Calling the Dead being a prime, heart-breaking examples, I was interested to read this; a novel where our main characters survive, not by fleeing NOLA but by holing up in the city. Greene is a former New Orleans resident so I can only assume her account of places and events is accurate but either way it makes for a fascinating narrative and reduces the supposedly central plot, the love story, to stage left at times.
Having said that, the relationship between Teddy and Kit is well written and while Teddy seems almost too aloof at times Kit is delightfully human and just as frail as the rest of us.
Highly recommended to all and I'm off to buy A Palette for Love, Charlotte Greene's other book! (Make sure you put in the 'e' at the end of Greene when searching on goodreads; otherwise you get hetero medical bdsm books)

Wow
When I was reading This I thought of all the people affected by Katrina. I thought the storyline was well written and the characters were believable. I couldn't put the book down til I was finished. I definitely recommend this book.

This book starts off slow, then gradually moves into a better pace and moves nicely to the conclusion. .
I enjoyed Kit. I appreciated her compassion, humor, wit and intelligence. I also liked her friend Becky. Teddy, on the other hand, was someone that bordered on being a stalker and at times just one dimensional: angry. Teddy was rude and arrogant to almost bordering on abusive. Luckily as the storm started to come in Teddy's character began to evolve into someone who was less creepy and a jerk. If the reader can get to the part about the storm then the two characters are more on equal emotional rapport.
I am a big fan of New Orleans. This book goes into detail about Katrina. It is hard to read because of the stark reality of the pain that storm brought to my beloved city. The author does a good job of sharing the details of the tragedy with balancing having the storm as the backdrop to strengthen the relationship between Kit and Teddy. I enjoyed how the author moved the plot towards a resolution between Kit and Teddy..
Also there is a lot of sex in this book and some of it is graphic. So readers may want to be aware when they pick up this book, especially at the start of the book when the two characters meet.
It's a good read. And the author does a nice job of pacing once you get past the first 60 pages, so hang in there, it's worth it.

I selected this book partly because it is set in New Orleans at the time of a hurricane (Katrina, no less) and I had once lived there and moved in just after Hurricane Betsy had roared through. That made the setting interesting for me. Charlotte Greene has crafted a well designed love story about two bright women who play around because, for various reasons, neither is ready to risk falling in love. Kit is in New Orleans for an educational conference; Teddy is a chef who has her own restaurant locally. Accidental meeting leads to attraction that sparks a sexual encounter--one so good that it leaves both of them wanting more despite their hesitation toward "longer" commitments. Then Katrina shows up on the scene. Greene's description of the impending storm is very realistic, putting the reader right in the scene. That grounding is part of what makes this romance work. I really loved the book and couldn't put it down.

This is the second novel I have read by Charlotte Greene. The first was Palette for Love. I enjoyed her first novel, and I feel like I should have really enjoyed this one. I enjoyed the characters, Kit especially. However, I really struggled with motivating myself to finish the book. I really think it was just because the story took place during Katrina. My stomach hurt just thinking about where the story was going. When it actually got to the hurricane portion it wasn’t nearly as awful as I had imagined. I knew it was a romance and was expecting a happy ending, but Katrina was so awful I was unsure of how much I wanted to read about it. I wasn’t living in Louisiana during Katrina but I live in Oklahoma and saw so many lives impacted by the hurricane. Greene is an excellent writer, and i actually really enjoy her writing style. I didn’t enjoy this one as much as the first, but still well worth your time.

An honest review thanks to NetGalley. I really liked this book I couldn't bring it down, bringing Hurricane Katrina into the mix brought an insight to the culture of New Orleans and the people living there during this horrific event. The story of Kit and Teddy really gelled with me. This was a great read; you will not be disappointed.

This book made me laugh and cry. It starts off sexy and ends up tender and romantic, and course it's set in one of my favorite cities ever, New Orleans.

I was a bit hesitant to start this based on the mixed ratings (as in this genre I tend to fall in the lower part of the scale anyway), but I enjoyed this. The characters, the writing, the story.
I do feel incredibly let down by the epilogue. I can't imagine who thought this was a good idea.

Disclaimer: I received an e-copy of this book on NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
When I picked up this book I really hoped I'd enjoy it more. A romance between an English Professor and a Chef? I can't say I've read this combo before but it sounded really interesting.
Kit is stressed out, she has been traveling a lot during her summer break and now she has to visit a conference in New Orleans while being jet lagged and tired. And then there is also Teddy, who makes it impossible to even think about sleeping.
The sex scenes felt a bit much at first (hot but... a bit much), but the evened out a bit better towards the middle and they were quite well written, so I didn't mind them that much, just be warned that there's quite a lot of explicit sex scenes in this book.
I found the chemistry between Kit and Teddy to be a bit lacking. Of course, there was a sexual connection and they both were really hot for each other, but while we are told they spend a lot of time together, we are not shown them growing closer? I would have loved for their (at first probably quite awkward) situation of having to live together to be explored more so the story would give the readers the opportunity to see the characters grow closer together and get to know more about the other person. If this had happened I could have maybe actually bought the ending, but like this, I didn't really like it?
A lot of the conflict felt super contrived as if to prolong the story? A colleague of her's actually just... left her?? in New Orleans because she didn't say anything good about her paper? I can't imagine that anyone would act like such an ass, at least not when they know each other and have considered themselves friends before that. Maybe another plot would have worked better for me there? But like this it just really bothered me! + the conflict in the second half of the book annoyed me a lot, it felt weird and like it was just used to drag out the book and I hated it. Tbh the book would have probably gotten a better rating from me without the last ~40 pages or so.
I liked the build up that happened during the conference and the side characters were also interesting. Then it even still made sense that they didn't know that much about each other since they had very little time and were just planning on a couple-nights-stand, but after living together for a week they should have at least gotten to know each other a bit more, but like I said, at least we readers weren't shown that.
I loved the chase in the first part of the book, the worries about whether or not this would have a future or just was a couple-nights-stand, their sexual chemistry was there, but sadly the book dragged out for too long, so the ending fell really flat and I didn't really enjoy the story.

Wow!
What an incredible story! Not only does it encompass the pure terrifying ordeal of being in the midst of the most horrific disaster ever experienced in our nation ever but it also deals with the beautiful and haunting love story of these two special characters, Kit and Teddy. The author has done an excellent job developing the characters and the plot of the story to the point you feel like you are in the midst of it all. Very well done!

This book is steamy sexy, heartbreakingly dramatic, and gives real insight into the days before and after Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans. Keep a box of tissues nearby for sure.

I quite enjoyed this novel and was completely immersed in it as I read. I loved the character of Kit, and felt for her throughout the novel. I felt as though the complication other than the hurricane was a bit much and wished the girls had just talked it out maturely, as I'm sure the other readers would have to agree that you could see the complication from a mile away. I loved the way Kit and Teddy immediately became apart of each others lives!

Loved the story , romantic and exciting as the storm becomes part of the cast.
Great author ,well thought out and engaging.

I really enjoyed about the first half of this book and liked how the main characters met and how their story developed but at about the half way point, when the hurricane struck, the story kind of changed and me. The characters made decisions I couldn't really follow or see why they would do that and all in all it kind of went downhill from that point on. I wish the author would have kept the book in the same form as the beginning was.
I also disliked the ending a lot, which is never a good thing...
