review 1: This book was good. Took me a little bit longer to read it caught my interest. I just wished Mac and Cora got together sooner. I like how Olivia grows close to Cora even though they both didn't know that she was her step mother. I was sad that Cora lost her baby and Trixie got to...

review 1: I always enjoy the Cypress Hollow novels and this one was no exception. Lighter on the sex than the others in the series, this 1940's pre-cursor shares the love story of Eliza Carpenter, who has managed to shape the lives of the current CH inhabitants in all sorts of ways, mostly...

review 1: I enjoyed Rachel Herron's previous books, they were fun, they had knitting, romance, they were fun and enjoyable. But this book? This book is amazing. Deeper, really getting into the characters' hearts and minds and souls. They are flawed people, dealing with some really hard cra...

review 1: This novel was escapist, delightful, and especially fun for someone who loves to see those little nods to knitting and spinning, although the author was obviously very careful to keep the detail light to keep from bogging the story down. Excellent balance. Was it formulaic? Absol...

review 1: I have been reading Rachel's blog sporadically for many years. This book of stories was like spending an evening having a wonderful series of conversations with her. As a knitter, I fully appreciate her method of linking her life events to her knitting. Her craft is so interwo...

review 1: I have the Australian copy Lucy's Kiss not the USA version that shows the knitting cover. The Australia version does not fully explain the role that knitting plays in this story, so if your not a knitter it can be rather frustrating and slightly annoying until you get past the f...

review 1: Suffered a bit of mental whiplash from this book. After having just read a number of smart, female-centric stories, returning to the "guy dislikes girl on sight but they're obviously made for each other" trope was a bit of a shocker. Not that there's anything wrong with this stan...

review 1: This was a classic romance novel in the vein of Susan Elizabeth Phillips. Of course it was silly, slightly predictable, and a bit trite, but the writing was great, the characters endearing and it was very true to the genre. Of course, it also contained a knitter's dream life wh...

review 1: I don't really have much to say on this one. I didn't dislike it but I didn't love it either. I did struggle at times to continue reading, but on several occasions throughout the book there were some exciting events that took place that made me want to read on. I guess it's your ...

review 1: 4.5 starsI think part of my love of these books is due to the inside information only die hard knitters get - references to brands and techniques. Plus, the witticisms that start off each chapter are great. They all are alarmingly true and some of then laugh out loud amusing in t...
