Series: Knitting in the City #3
Description:
There are three things you need to know about Sandra Fielding: 1) She makes all her first dates cry, 2) She hasn't been kissed in over two years, and 3) She knows how to knit.
Sandra has difficulty removing her psychotherapist hat. Of her last 30 dates, 29 have ended the same way: the man sobbing uncontrollably. After one such disaster, Sandra--near desperation and maybe a little tipsy--gives in to a seemingly harmless encounter with her hot waiter, Alex. Argumentative, secretive, and hostile Alex may be the opposite of everything Sandra knows is right for her. But now, the girl who has spent all her life helping others change for the better, must find a way to cope with falling for someone who refuses to change at all.
This is a full-length, 110k word novel and is the third book in the Knitting in the City series. All books in the series can be read as a standalone.
Review:
Oh the men in this series just get more intense by the
book. Penny Reid did not disappoint with
this funny, serious, intense third book in this series. The characters are amazing and the dialogue
is witty and intellectual. I actually
learned a lot in this book about things I’ve never heard of before.
We are now focused on Sandra, the psychiatrist in the group
of knitters, and she is quite funny with her specially made T-shirts. She has always dated the same kind of guy but
there is just something special about the waiter of the restaurant she has been
frequenting for the past two years. He’s
tall handsome and mysterious, who doesn’t like that? One thing leads to another and they attempt
at having a relationship and it’s both funny, intense and I have to say he was
a little creepy there for a while. But
he has his reasons.
Alex is a unique characters, now I know this wasn’t around
back then but he reminded me of Walter from Scorpion TV show. He’s all smart but doesn’t know how to properly
handle social situations. But the
difference is Alex is intense, I don’t know another word to describe him but I wanted
to scoop him up hug him and just tell him relax it will be okay. His interactions with Sandra were special
though, and I loved reading all their scenes together. He has what you call dedication and mystery.
Overall I don’t want to give too much of the book away but I
love that these knitting ladies are always together every Tuesday hashing out
their lives and knitting. Their interactions
are priceless and they couldn’t be any more different but still have that
strong bond with one another. I think
that’s what makes this series even more special because they are constantly in
all the books and I love finding out new little tidbits about all of them each
time.
This was another great addition to the series, beautifully
written, constantly keep my interest and extremely interesting characters all
around. I love this series and can’t say
too much about it. I’m off to read the
next one and I can’t wait. Really you
don’t need to know anything more other than the writing is wonderful, the characters
are delightful and the story is stimulating!!
