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 first 100 or so pages ... just a warning for those like me who had no idea how important and how often it is mentioned.There is a knitting quote at the top of every chapter as well, so be warned.Once I got used to the knitting and the storyline (it took awhile) hence it only making a 3 from me, it was ok, Rachael Herron however tends to repeat the same parts of "history" all the time as if the reader has forgotten from the last chapter and this too can be very annoying.The characters themselves wer... moree ok, I liked the way it started with the car accident and Owen seeing Lucy again after 17 years, then the book took a slippery slope for me until well after page 100 when I could reconnect with it again, so overall it was ok.I did like it more towards the end and was getting used to the quotes and knitting references, but I honestly think the full nature of the book should have been disclosed on the blurb at the back as the USA edition is so much more clearly associated with knitting and this edition is rather unclear as to the amount of knitting references you will endure if your a non knitter in my case.All in all not too bad a read so a 3. best suited for knitters looking for a romantic read.
review 2: Looking at the cover of this book , you could almost swear that it has that Outback Australian look to it or then again, it could be just me LOL. Though the girl on the cover does give a bit of a Jessica Biel look-a-like or is that just me as well. :)Lucy's Kiss is one of those ideal reads for the women that love romance, bookshops , small towns and the art of Knitting. Lucy's Kiss is set in the heart of a small town called Cypress Hollow and follows the main character Lucy Harrison who owns a cute kitschy book shop called "The Book Spire". One night , Lucy is drinking at her brother Jonas' s bar when a car comes crashing through the wall , in the car is Lucy's friend Abigail. Rushing to the rescue , is an old crush of Lucy's Owen Bancroft. Seventeen years ago, Owen kissed Lucy and took off breaking her heart and fantasy life along with it. Now back in Cypress Hollow , we see the flames between Lucy and Owen are still alive and kicking and even more -both of them can vividly remember the kiss they shared together those many years ago.When a pile of books and knitting patterns are bought over from the Bancroft Estate, Lucy starts to look over them and with surprise she discovers that they belonged to the infamous Eliza Carpenter - a lady that made knitting and the town of Cypress Hollow famous. Forced to work with Owen , Lucy can't help but still feel those pangs of butterflies for Owen but does he feel the same way ?Find out whether it is a Second chance at Happiness for Owen and Lucy or will Owen prove the saying that you can't change a tiger's stripes and break Lucy's heart all over again?Find out in "Lucy's Kiss" or as the Americans call it "How to Knit a Heart Back Home" by Rachel Herron. less
