Publisher Description

Lucy Harrison sells books by day and volunteers with the Cypress Hollow fire department by night. Her life is just the way she likes it—full, even-keeled, and smooth—until bad-boy ex-cop Owen Bancroft comes back to town. Lucy has always been fearless, never scared about diving in to help others. When it comes to risking her heart, however, she realizes she’s absolutely terrified.

In a small town like Cypress Hollow, everyone knows your business—and there is nowhere to hide. Then Lucy and Owen are thrown together by the discovery of the lost work of a local legend, knitting guru Eliza Carpenter. Now Owen, adrift and struggling to redefine himself as a civilian without a badge, will have to learn how to open himself up to life’s new possibilities—while Lucy decides just how much of herself she’s willing to gamble on love.

Quotes

  • “A warmhearted hug from a talented author—and knitter. The love story of Lucy and Owen will stay in your heart long after the last page is turned.”

    - Susan Wiggs, New York Times bestselling author

  • “Rachael Herron knits up another wonderful Cypress Hollow tale that will leave readers begging for more.”

    - Barbara Bretton, USA Today bestselling author

  • “Warm and fuzzy…[A] sweet, comforting tale.” 

    - Publishers Weekly

  • “In her engaging sequel to How to Knit a Love Song, Herron revisits the community of Cypress Hollow and its familiar faces as well as new characters who are as entertaining as they are complicated. Patrons who in the past have clamored for the novels of Debbie Macomber, Kate Jacobs, or Gil McNeil will definitely find this a good read.”

    " On Audio. I loved this series. It is unfortunate that I ended up reading them out of sequence (1-3-2) but each story can stand on it's own, it is better with the Eliza background in order though :) I loved the main characters Lucy and Owen and I loved their families. Lucy's bookish brothers and open-minded eccentric parents made this book really great. The side story of Owen's mom and her Alzheimers was sad but very well done. I wish there were more Cypress Hollow books!!! "

    " Did not finish. I guess I should have looked at the shelving information and noticed the heart for romance....I only looked at the cute cover and the title with knitting in it (though how you call trash romance I will never understand). I was enjoying the storyline and all, even after a non-PG rating part early on and a bit of swearing. But when the middle was page after page of stuff I had to skip because of how detailed it was, I had to quit. In short, way too graphic sexually and way too much swearing. "

    " Small town on the west coast, some eccentric characters and a central theme of knitting!! Long lost papers of a famous knitter are found and the main character has to deal with her long lost love when he reurns to town. Cute story "

    " This is a fun read. Especially if you are a knitter. I really loved the fact that she is able to open her own yarn shop. Any knitter would love to do that. "

    " This was good! I didn't enjoy it as much as her first one, because I didn't relate as well, but I did enjoy the story. I enjoyed the romance. I just really liked it. A nice, feel-good love story with knitting thrown in for kicks. "

    " I really enjoy these books and it's obvious that the author is more comfortable with her position in this novel. She incorporates more diversity. I really enjoy the way she incorporates the knitting and Eliza Carpenter in these stories. Always makes my hands itch. "
