Final in the trilogy, and wrapped up well. The author always had the main romantic plot in each book, entwined with a secondary romantic plot. The secondary plot either complimented the primary one, or gave added dimension until appearing to tell its own full story in the next book. Besides the romantic elements, there was the strong theme of "family," what it is, what it's like to not have one, or to have one that isn't what you wanted... and how you create family for yourself. The ya

This book really didn't match its title. The title and cover make it seem like a light, at least humorous read, and it's not. The hero is near-suicidal, and the heroine's been scooping him up and bringing him home every time he goes on a bender. And it opens with a scene near the climax--the heroine has been cut off from town (Malibu) by a downpour flooding the road, on her 30th birthday, which means she's missing her own birthday party, and as she's succumbing to a pity party instead, the hero

I was deeply sleep deprived when I read this book, so that may be coloring my review.
I feel like Ridgway was going for more depth than she normally hits - Gabe is a troubled, troubled man that she's been setting up for two novels, and Marlys, the secondary plot carried over from Unravel Me, is no piece of cake herself - and just doesn't make her target.
I know this is romance - and Ridgway does some of the better stuff of the genre out there - but for multiple books, thes More...

I have mixed feeling aobut this book.
On one had, there's some great characters and some interesting drama.
On the other hand, it's a romance novel, which I didn't realize. I'm usually not a fan. This book reinforced that with love scenes that seemed more like male fantasies than female. If I had to read about how "he thrust his tongue" one more time, I probably would have given up.

DIRTY SEXY KNITTING is a romance book that actually had more emotional depth than I was expecting to get. The “hero” of the book is Gabe. He’s the landlord/neighbor of the “heroine” Cassandra. Cassandra owns Malibu & Ewe, which is THE place to be if you’re into knitting. She’s also the one to call when some bartender needs to get Gabe out of their bar after another one of his benders. Cassandra has been taking care of Gabe for far too long and she’s frankly tired of picking up the broken pieces

This was a promising premise, the characters are fully rounded and deep, interesting people with growth to be done. There is an anonymous villian revealed at the end. I was so disappointed that the author did not fulfil the promise of the early chapters...the ending was not believable to me based on the way the characters were described as overcoming major fears seemingly without effort. I'd love to give the opening chapters to a more skilled author to do a better job with. This might be a g

I like romance novels and really don't object to sex in them, but too many sex scenes get boring after awhile and make it seem like there's not enough plot to carry them. This book falls into that category for me. Of course, the title warns you about that. I did like the characters but as a yarn shop owner, I think if I acted like Cassandra during shop hours I wouldn't have many customers!

The third book in the series and I grudgingly say it was good.
Here's the thing - I hate it when an author takes cheap shots and easy outs. And this book had cheap shots and easy outs. Still - I have to say it was the best of the three books. There was action. There was danger. There was lots of syrupy bonding. There was sex. If Danielle Steel wrote a book with a vague knitting theme and uttered the word "Cock" rather than some weak euphamism and had under-developed charact More...

I just loved this trilogy and the end made me cry. I really wish there was more coming because I enjoyed Cassandra & Gabe’s story as well as more about Nikki & Jay and Juliet & Noah and of course the conclusion to Marlys & Dean’s stories as well. I myself am trying to find my biological father so this was interesting.

Good book. The perfect end to the trilogy. I wasn't sure Gabe would work based on his actions in the previous books, but he really did. Cassandra was everything I expected her to be. Overall very satisfying. It even turned emotional at the end.

This book killed me, seriously. I've never had to face a violent loss to a family member like Gabe had to recover from but man how awful that would be. He was so lucky to have Cassandra, Froot Loop, to love him and be there for him. Loved this book!

3.5 * I really liked this trilogy. I was disappointed with the "dad" part, it seems like we lead up to that in all 3 books only to be let down a little. The secondary stories of all 3 books were very good and I liked this one as well as the other two. Fun read.

i really liked this series, and was a little sad to see it in. But like all good romances (in my opinion) , it tied everything up in a nice happily-ever-after.

Steamy, but little knitting content except for the shop. Never read that Cassandra was actually knitting, but what she had knit. Good book, quick read.

A great knitting romance. Romance scenes are hot and steamy but not too graphic. I am looking forward to reading the first two in the series.

Don't remember why the knitting was dirty or sexy. Someone put it on my desk - either because I was sexy or liked to knit.

Let's just call it what it is, a book about sex. That seems to be all it has to offer. Loser!!!!

If you like soft porn, this book certainly has a lot of descriptive sex scenes.

Gabe the widower and the father to a dead little girl is almost too dark to really like. But in the end he turns out to be a decent guy. The very end is a bit cheesy, but the series as a whole was fun and light. A solid 3.5 star read.

Stupid nickname for the lead female, but otherwise pretty good. Kind of wish I would have read the first in the series first thought.
