TW - violent accounts of assault (physical and sexual)

It was a fairly easy read. It wasn’t exactly what I thought it would be based on the description but it wasn’t bad. There were some nice moments, the intimate and violent scenes turned me off, but overall it was a nice story.

I finished it a while ago and I honestly can't remember much...so maybe it was ok.
Oh wait!
After reading the description, I remember more.
This love trope is arsehole guy who becomes good is not my favorite and especially not the way it was done here.
Just a jerk who gets nice but then gets not nice/selfish again.
And seriously this book needed some editing because the same phrases were used throughout just made it seem…cheap/manufactured.

It’s essentially EZ fan fic, which is kind of amusing, but it needs a content warning for stalking, abuse, and coercion. There’s a subplot through the whole thing where her stalker is hiding in the house while she thinks she’s gotten away. It’s heavy for a light romance.

LOVED, LOVED, LOVED it. It was a lighthearted romance and a quick read. Exactly what I wanted.

Although this is a romance novel and that genre is not generally what I read... but this was really well done. I enjoyed the writing, really liked the main characters, and the plot ripped right along as quick as frogging an ugly scarf. Excited about the first book, and looking forward to the next!

It's a romance novel whose entire plot hinges on knitting, in other words, the perfect escape.

I saw this book at B&N more than once over the last few weeks but wasn’t sure whether to give this new romance writer a try. Let me just say that I am so glad I picked up this book. This is honestly one of the best romance books I’ve read in a very long time. I know absolutely nothing about knitting but that was OK; this sweet romance is for everyone.
There’s the strong, determined heroine looking for a new start (Abigail), the handsome stubborn hero (Cade), interesting secondary characters, a little suspense and sweet, sexy love scenes! I loved this book and I hated to see it end. This book will definitely be going on my keeper shelf!
I can’t wait to read more from this author!

DNF- no interest in reading a romance where the male lead is so misogynist and hateful off the bat. There's no way to get past that into romance for me.

Entertaining. Made me want to move to the west. Good love story. Fun book all around. Enjoyed the knitting and fiber moments.

Tried to read it twice. Was so obviously predictable by a third of the way in that I abandoned it. Again.
