I enjoyed reading this book. It is filled with drama and some romance. I loved the characters. I also loved that it was about knitting because I knit. I am looking forward to reading more books by this author.

Happy Reading Everyone! (

Liked the main characters and the premise. The conclusion was abrupt. Also, the dog, who was a steady plot element throughout, just stopped getting mentioned... wierd. EZ turned EC was okay, but became more cloying as the book continued, too close a parallel. I don't read much romance, but the knitting aspect interested me. (

I learned about this book on ravelry. A knitting romance... Of course I'll read it! I'm not sure non-knitters would have enjoyed it as much as knitters, though - the author was definitely writing for her fellow fiber enthusiasts.

It was a quick read, and I really liked it except I had to knock off one star at the horrible cop-out of an ending. It was as much a deus ex machina as I've ever seen. (

Yes, it's a formulaic contemporary romance, but that's okay. It's enjoyable fluff, right on for the genre. (

I wasn’t a huge fan of the characters. I didn’t like Cade (the male leading character). I thought he was a jerk. I did like the female character but I thought that she needed to stand up for herself more. I thought the ending was too neat. There was really no talking or explaining or apologizing done and I think it needed it, especially the apologizing. Also, I couldn’t close my eyes and picture the people in the book or the town where it is supposed to take place which I like to be able to do. However, I really liked the writing style and I liked how I could feel my chest getting tight in some of the emotional scenes (which is how I judge whether a book is good). This was also a quick read for me and I was able to finish it in four (4) hours. (
