Enjoy!

The narration of this book is excellent, the intonation of both characters spot on. Loved the humour and the storyline. Slightly sad that the epilogue seems to indicate no more in this series....

Fabulous!

I loved this story so much. It was rich in both plot and characters brought to life fantastically by the narrators, Stephen Dexter and Angela Dawe. Wonderful 💖💖💖💖💖

Fantastic book for Penny Reid

This is the final instalment of Knitting in the City series and I do believe this was my favourite.
As always Penny’s writing is exceptional.

Disappointing end to an excellent series

This is the last in the series, but you do need to read the previous books to understand many of the side characters and their individual quirks. Unfortunately I did not warm to the h in this book. In previous books she was depicted as shy and withdrawn, but in this book her internal monologues were depressing and immature, and she often created silly “issues” in her head which caused pointless conflict.

The H in this book is fantastic, but he made an assumption about the h that was so strange that it seemed implausible that it took two years for the mistake to be realised. The first half of this book could have been covered in one chapter if the couple had just sat down for an hour and had a decent conversation, but instead every interaction between them is strung out with work/friend “interruptions”, and the story dragged.

The second half of the book had lots of “almost” sex, thinking about sex, practicing sex etc etc (yawn), due to the sudden disclosure that the h has a wierd sexual hang-up, which seemed contrived simply as an excuse to put in long extended chapters of sexual foreplay. This focus on sex took away from the anticipated corporate fraud plotline, and we are expected to believe that running a billion dollar company just needs a couple of days attendance per month to learn the ropes, and a group of friends who conveniently have all the required expert knowledge (and spare time) to untangle the wrong doings. I yearned for the Alex/Sandra/bitcoin book where the reader was credited with some intelligence, instead of an implausible kidnapping plot which, I agree with other reviewers, felt more like a Scooby Doo cartoon.

I really loathe giving a bad review to a Penny Reid book, as this writer has brought me so much joy in the past with her fabulous characters and unusual romances. But this book dwells too much on sex, and not enough on proper adult interactions and a fraud plotline that has some teeth.

goes downhill come chapter 27

the sound just started skipping, with static on the audio it became difficult to hear anything, despite the female narrator being one of my favourites, I felt so cheated surely someone edits this to check customers aren't cheated in this way? I've never experienced this with a book before what a shame as I don't know wherein lies the fault can't say I will be listening to the series after this despite my interest having been peeked with regards to other characters
