review 1: This is the second (maybe the third?) in the Granby knitting series by Amy Lane. Aiden works for Craw, who we met in book one. Aiden is young, hasn’t done much else in life, and has been fostering a secret (or not so secret) crush on Craw. Craw knows he’s not the right guy for Aiden, especially now that he’s got Ben, but even before Ben, Craw thought of himself as more a father figure.Jeremy is a con man who escapes “the life” just in time. He finds Craw and begins a new life, hiding from his past by working in the mill in the middle of nowhere.Aiden and Jeremy are attracted to one another but there’s a lot in their way. Aiden thinks Jeremy might be straight (or confused). Jeremy thinks (knows) he’s not good enough for Aiden. Aiden is a virgin and not ... moreall that certain how to approach Jeremy. Jeremy always feels like he has one foot out the door, ready to “rabbit” away.When they do finally get together Aiden has an uphill battle trying to convince Jeremy of his worth and trying to keep him settled, where he belongs.**This is a far more delightful love story (IMHO) than the first book. Jeremy has never actually had a relationship even though he’s several years older than Aiden. Aiden hasn’t had a sexual relationship either, but he’s had honest relationships with other people, so that makes him the more knowledgeable of the two. So we have this delightful flip/flop where the younger guy has to lead the relationship and since both are essentially virgins, it’s an awakening for them equally.I love the symbolism of the knitting. Jeremy puts Aiden’s knitting away in the safe, lest they get worn or lost. Aiden tells him he has to wear it or it’s an insult! Cautiously, maybe finally believing in the future a little, Jeremy begins to wear the gloves and mittens Aiden has knitted. Like admitting, out loud, that he’s worth the chance Aiden’s taking and that he’s planning on being around, maybe forever.I’m a huge Amy Lane fan, and I love the knitting series and I highly recommend this installment. I give it a 4.5 of 5 heartsAudioPhillip Alces does the first book as well as this and he does a nice job. I’m not a big fan of his style but he doesn’t detract from the story. Sometimes he sounds almost out of breath and I find myself hoping he’ll slow down and breathe! He subtly changes some of the voices, giving them some character, and that’s nice. I wish he’d have done more for the emotion. It’s a deeply emotional story at times, and he reads at the same basic pace throughout.He doesn’t pull you out of the story in a way that’s distracting and the editing is nice and the sound quality is good. Though it’s not my favorite he does a fine job.I’d recommend the narration for people who enjoy audio books over reading or if you want a little different experience from the reading.I give it 3.5 of 5 heartsOverall a 4 of 5 hearts
review 2: sweet amazing story with a very happy ending:)this is so far my favourite part of Knitting series. I loved how determined Aiden was to make Jeremy comfortable and how everybody were just so understanding andbobliging to him it was almost impossible. But this tiny part of me wants to believe that things like that can happen and all we have to do is to wait patiently for the right person, right place and right time:)This is definitely too easy to lost track of time reading and this is my 3rd night/morning with Knitters instead of sleep, but it is absolutely worth it! less
