(Warning: Review is Short, the Love of Penny Reid's Crafting is Long)
Loved
Hank Hardcore, Charlotte was a perfect match for him, and this book
made me smile. So, as I warned, the actual review part for this specific
book was short.
But my continuing love for Penny Reid and her
ability to weave tales for us revolving around the world first created
by the Winstons has grown stronger and stronger with each entry.
As
someone who has been reading romance and reviewing for more than a
decade, I have had my taste of continuing series with new characters
that then have their own series. It is not always a successful
transition. It takes a lot of planning, and the necessary laying of the
groundwork early on to tease readers in other books so that when the new
series happens, everyone is primed and ready to latch on and actually
be interested. That may sound easy but who can predict future trends and
wants of readers...It takes true talent to understand the need to hold
the course and just be true to the tales you are writing, come what may.
Penny Reid's ability to do just that has been her superpower
from the start of her Knitting in the City series. She took her point of
view, gave us unique engaging characters that made us think, and gave
us little glimpses of everyday human feelings that we all may have
experienced at one moment or another, plus the type of romance that we
all long for...human, real but also a bit of fantasy.
No one
written by her was perfect and not relatable. Each character had that
vulnerability at some point where we could see ourselves and we were
able to learn life lessons from the actions taken to resolve whatever
had happened.
Oh, and all of this was done with liberal doses of
humor, heart, angst, and really fun sexy times. Nothing was left out,
intense feelings were paired with hysterically funny times. Sly
sarcastic takes on situations were backed up with moral decisions.
So
this is why I have loved all of the books by Reid because she has
continued to do all of the above, no matter which series she writes for,
which character she focuses on...they all are winners.
This entry hits all of these points. End of Review :D
