Claire Wingate has had the worst possible day.  After catching her fiancé literally in the closet “engaging” the Sears repairman, she has to put on a happy face to be a bridesmaid in her friend’s wedding.  No wonder she ends up getting drunk!  What she doesn’t expect is to find herself waking up with childhood crush Sebastian Vaughan, son of her mother’s gardener, who mysteriously just stopped visiting one summer almost twenty years ago.  Following his mother’s death, Sebastian feels the need to reconnect with his only living parent, his dad.  What he doesn’t expect is to hook back up with heiress Claire, but their irresistible attraction has them exploring the possibility of sex without strings.  Can both of these shattered individuals change their moods to one for love? 

I’M IN NO MOOD FOR LOVE is part of a series of books featuring female authors and friends set in Boise, Idaho set in Sex, Lies and Online Dating by Ms. Gibson.  Ms. Gibson is known for writing sexy, humorous books and this one certainly fits the bill.  Claire’s life is a comedy of errors and Sebastian is just the sexy hunk to fix it right up!  This reviewer enjoyed reading about the further adventures of the characters featured in the first book and they were well written as secondary characters in this subsequent offering, although it is a stand-alone tale.  Claire and Sebastian are sympathetic and their back-story certainly explains why they presently take the actions they do.  This review must note that Claire’s inability to find a man who simply loves her was somewhat clichéd but it was still entertaining.  The suspense element added to the story as well.  Fans of romantic comedy and Ms. Gibson will enjoy this witty tale.  This reviewer certainly did and looks forward to the next entries in the series.  Highly recommended.
