Publisher Description

Abigail is more than ready for a change when she inherits a cottage from her beloved mentor, knitting guru Eliza Carpenter. Leaving the oppressive city for the greener pastures of a small California beach town, she intends to turn her cozy little windfall into a knitting shop and spend her days spinning, designing, and purling. But she’s not going to be welcomed with open arms by her new neighbor. Eliza’s disgruntled nephew, the gorgeous Cade, now owns everything surrounding Abigail’s ramshackle new home, and he views this sexy city girl as an unwanted interloper.

But chemistry working overtime is drawing two very different people closer than they ever thought possible, and when the past that Abigail thought she’d left behind comes calling, she’ll have to somehow learn to trust her handsome adversary with much more than just her heart.

"Yeah, it's formulaic, but it's done well. The ex storyline was a jolt due to uncanny similarities to my real life. The club-you-on-the-head obviousness of Eliza Carpenter = Elizabeth Zimmerman was, well, a little much, but overall I think it added some depth to the story as you could sort of imagine a fictionalized story that was EZ-adjacent... so in the end I approved. Ha!"

    " I don't know why I picked up this book. I knew from title it was a (in your face)romance novel which I don't read. It was very cheesy and predictable, I did however think it was slightly entertaining. "

    " fun fast. good therapy to keep me company during legislative session. it's like a PG-13/R-rated Debbie Macomber with more romance and less longing. "

    " Romance Novel. If people came right out and said how they feel, then there would be no problems in a relationship. Very simple story. Girl gets thrown into a situation with a guy. They both "think" wrong but it all turns out OK in the end. "

    " Apparently the life of a knitter lacks excitement. This book is more about sex and stalking than about knitting. Not impressed. "

    " Abigail and Cade both inherited a part of the ranch through the will and have to learn how to live together. Predictable boy meets girl but still a great feel good book. One of three in a series. Second book ready to go. "

    " I loved this, and I'm not a big fan of romance. It helped that it has a knitting element, and it helps that I'm a friend of the author, and heard her voice in every word. "

    " Cute, classic love story with a good mix of knitting, fiber and family mixed in. That's a good combination for a knitter or fiber lover and romantic. I like Rachael's writing for an easy, feel-good story. Super quick read and leaves you with a good feeling. "

    " I finished this the other night and loved it! Even if you're not a knitter, this is a very enjoyable book. The characters were real and the author's sense of description allowed the reader to see the scenes in their mind, which I always enjoy. Now waiting for Herron's book 2 in this series. "

    " Read more because I like Rachael's writing than I am a fan of books about knitting or romances. It was a cute book - light, frothy, and fun. I really like the author's voice, and I think she clearly has some skill. My preferred genre? No, but she pulls it off well. "
