Wishes and Stitches: A Cypress Hollow Yarn (2011)
The first time I read a book, I read quickly because I can’t wait to find out what happens. Sometimes I reread a book and the second time around, I pay attention to detail. I notice how the author developed plot, described character. I notice what makes the story a good read. This is what just h...

Naomi Fontaine is a buttoned-up emotionally repressed and shy doctor who leaves her small town practice to go to a medical conference. While there she hooks up with a hot doctor for a night of incredible sex. On returning to work, she finds out that her absentee partner has hired a new doctor for...
How to Knit a Heart Back Home (2011)
I enjoyed this a pure escapist read. It's a quick and light and fun read.As a knitter, I loved all the knitting!

How to Knit a Love Story (2000)
I checked this book out of the library and was fooled by the fact it wasn't labeled as a romance novel (which I avoid at all costs).

Eliza's Gift (2010)
Yeahhh, what kind of name is Cade? It was entertaining.. Got kind of ridiculous at the end. *Spoiler alert*Exploding tankers and a stalker taken care of with a car crash? Nah.I think I'm done with the so-called romance genre, even though it was in the fiction section. It's just embarrassing to re...
