Marriage of Inconvenience, an all new romantic comedy standalone in the USA Today bestselling, Knitting in the City Series by Penny Reid, is available NOW!
I finished this book last night and the first thing I wanted to do as soon as I woke up was tell everybody how friggin great this book was.
Marriage of Inconvenience is the last book in the "Knitting in the City" Series.
THE. LAST. BOOK.
I don't know if you realize the magnitude of this statement.
You see, readers of this series have gone on a wonderful journey of getting to know and love these incredibly SMART women who all met through a knitting group (and I say smart because when the reader is reading these books they are engaged, challenged, and encouraged to have an open mind to learn new things about the world and maybe even themselves ..... the use of a dictionary helps sometimes too).
These women are loyal, funny, colorful, and quirky, so of course, they need to have particularly unique partners "who get them".
I love this book!
The story was great.
The writing fantastic.
The characters were, dare I say, perfectly imperfect.
Excerpt
Staring at his chin, because I couldn’t quite lift my eyes any higher, I cleared my throat. “Should we get ready for bed?”
“Sure,” he said, his voice a rumble. Dan’s eyes were on me, I felt the weight of them.
My hands came to the hem of my skirt and I hesitated, feeling winded for some reason. Sneaking a glance at him, I immediately wished I hadn’t. His gaze was watchful, but it was also unmistakably hot in a way that seemed at once both avaricious and accusatory. The vice tightened around my lungs.
Kiss him! Just freaking kiss him! You want numbered steps? Fine. You kiss him- check. He kisses you back- check. Then you make out- check. Check the boxes.
I licked my lips, balling my hands into fists at my sides again, preparing to follow my hasty list.
But then he said, “Undress me.”
My breath caught. On instinct, my eyes lifted and collided with his in much the same way our bodies had collided at the top of the stairs just moments ago. Jarring. Startling. Thrilling. This time I couldn’t look away because this time I was falling. He made no move to catch me.
“What? What did you say?”
His eyes narrowed, which served only to increase the intensity of his gaze from smolder to inferno. “Take my clothes off.”
I stared at him, licking my lips again, and shaking my head. That wasn’t one of my steps.
Lifting my chin, I moved to kiss him. He leaned to the side, evading me even as his eyes dropped to my mouth.
“Take off my shirt and I’ll give you a kiss.” He’d used his naughty-secret voice.
An explosion of heat erupted in my belly, and now I was hot all over. I couldn’t figure out if the heat was embarrassment or arousal or both.
He didn’t give me a chance to figure it out. His hands lifted and he undid his cuffs; then they moved to the top button of his shirt.
“You better take over,” he said darkly, “or else you’re not getting that kiss.”

Nice review! I'm half way through atm and loving it!
Have you ever read a book that seemed like it was written about you?
For me there are two.
Shelter Mountain ... I am eerily like Preacher ... not so much physically but very much in the way I respond to things.
And this book. Dan speaks my language...and Dan's mum is awesome!

Thank you , Ian!
Yes, I've read a couple of books that seemed eerily written about me (it was quite disturbing and amazing at the same time to relate to the characters so much).
I've read Shelter Mountain, I'll have to give it a re-read to refresh my memory of Preacher.
Dan was amazing! I walked around to house swearing like a sailor (in my head, because I work with children) for a couple of days afterward.
"The Hound" from "The Game of Thrones" has the same effect on my language. :-)
... and I totally agree with you, Dan's Mum was awesome!
