Perfect for those who love a steamy romance with humor, suspense, drama, and a quirky group of characters that keep you smiling, guessing, laughing, and loving from beginning to end.

Well I busted that out in a day! ❤️❤️ While this book was different, I was excited to see a Winston connection and not just Ashley. You‘ll recognize the main man if you read Beau‘s book (not required though). I say different because it was slower, and maybe bordering on a ‘mystery/thriller‘ romance? I won‘t say the story was entirely satisfying, but these two have another book, so it certainly isn‘t finished.

⭐️⭐️⭐️

I must admit this one didn't really work for me. The author prides herself on smart characters but Janie is good at math and remembering tiny details, not at understanding subtext or watching out for herself. When she gets more involved with a guy she'd been crushing on, she never fully uncovers his ties with local criminals including her sisters and his ex but that doesn't seem to matter? ↘️

ReadingEnvy This is book 1 in the Knitting in the City series which ultimately intersects with the Winston Brothers series but the knitting group is not really a focus except in one memorable scene. And Janie suffers from low self esteem despite being obviously gorgeous and that trope has never worked for me.↘️ 4y
ReadingEnvy This might not be the book for me but it might work for you! Also if sex scenes make you feel awkward there is a ton of build up and then they are kind of mentioned with nudges and winks and much is inferred but never described. Partly because when she "goes there" Janie displaces it to Ida, a weird take in her head for the Id....a strange choice but good for those who relish the tension but don't want details!

I should have DNF‘d when he ordered for her at dinner. What was an average contemporary romance took a strange, and unwelcome, turn around the ⅔-¾ mark. Too much going on, and it all felt half hazardly thrown together to sever no other purpose than to make the book longer.

#7books7days this book is the #romantsy that got me out of a massive slump and reminded me of how much I love reading #romance after having veered away for years

DGRachel This was the first contemporary romance that I read and I hadn‘t read historical romances for probably 20 years before I picked this up. I loved this book and the characters so much that I now binge read romance books at least once a year. ❤️ It‘s all Penny‘s fault! 5y
Christine Yay for slump-busting!! 5y
ValPenny If you enjoyed this, Lizzie Chantree‘s novels they are modern, smart romances with humour. 5y

1. Not sure how I feel about this one yet, since the main character is quite annoying.
2. Thirteen books checked out with ten more on reserve.
3. I usually turn to either rereads of books I love, or do a month of Kindle Unlimited reading nothing but brain candy! :-D

I liked this book, the only hangs up I had, is the fact that I'm too dumb to understand all the smart conversations Janey had with her friends. Penny Reid is either really intelligent, or does a lot of research. I liked Janey with Quinn, but I only wished the sex scenes were less fade to black and more descriptive. Other than that I did enjoy this book

Eh, I didn‘t love this one. I know a lot of people who love Penny Reid, but I almost bailed around the halfway mark, and just finished it because I didn‘t have another kindle book at the moment. The overuse of the word “slamp” was driving me craaazy. #howjessreadsin2019

julesG It's one of her first books. I think the other ones are better. But, at the time I read it, I really liked it. 6y
sammisho What does "slamp" even mean? Lol 6y
howjessicareads @sammisho According to urban dictionary, a slamp is short for a slampiece, aka a sexual partner.

Slampiece is just a gross word. And so is slamp. 😂
6y
howjessicareads @julesG a lot of people have told me her books get better. We shall see! 6y
sammisho @howjessreads Oh no! That is just not okay. I use a lot of cruse language but "slampiece" or "slamp" it too much! I have read some of Penny Reid's books and liked them. I will skip this one! 6y

Started the year by reading something easy and light. I saw a photo of this book by random on Instagram and thought why not. If you‘re looking for an easy chick-lit read, I would recommend this.

Early on I realized that this was an early Reid book and that the hero, is actually a relation to one of Reid's characters in her Winston Brothers series, which I'm very much in love with, and contented to the idea that maybe this wouldn't be up to par with her current writing and I'm pretty thankful that I didn't compare the two too harshly. The traits that I love about Reid's heroines are visible in Janie the MC but I wasn't in love with her.

There is a boy in my house, other than my husband and it is weird. But eh, he‘s just here because we DVR‘d the Notre Dame game yesterday and so he‘s here to “watch” the game. I shall hide in my room and do “research”. 🤣🤣🤣

tournevis I need this book. 6y
CocoReads @tournevis which? Weapons? I got it a couple months ago because I need to kill a character off. Then I got my new job so the bad guy is still hanging around. But soon, very soon, he‘s getting taken out—I‘m thinking sniper. 6y

The first in Reid‘s Knitting in the City series, in which eccentric and Christina-Hendricks looking Janie falls in intense lust/like/love with the stern security firm owner her friends and she have christened Sir Handsome McHotpants. With a charming supporting cast (including a cheating ex and felonious relatives) to go with the adorable couple #romantsy

Book 78. This was alright book, still a pick even though it wasn't as good as Truth Or Beard. I'll continue on with the series and especially the spin off series. I'm not into insta love, so I felt like they could have dragged that out a little more and the main character seemed a little naive. (Pic of Khaleesi and I)

This was a disappointing one, as it was a case of something that seemed like it should be right up my alley just turning out to be #notforme - although I tend to love stuff that is quirky, this one felt aggressively quirky in a way that grated on my nerves. I'm tempted to try a different one by this author, give her another chance to win me over, but I'm nervous about it after this one. #jubilantjuly

I grew up surrounded by romance novels; Harlequins of all types. And I read my way through them when I was young and starry-eyed. I eventually traded them in for mysteries and science fiction but have slowly been making my way back. This was nice, light, and provided a great palate cleanser for all the dark stuff I march through both in reading and viewing. It'd be really good for a beach read and there are more books in the series if you like it!
