Christmas came early for me this year by reading an anthology of one of my favorite series ever. So if you are like me, and hold all this characters dear to your heart don't pass up reading this book, and expect to be totally smitten as we are given another taste into the lives of this crazy and beautiful bunch of best friends.

5 Amazing Stars.
(Because, unfortunately, I can’t give more.)

This is a compilation of short-stories with all the couples of the “Knitting In The City” series. If you’re a fan of these books, you must definitely read this. (It’s only alive for two weeks and the profits are going to a charity organization.)
These stories are amazing and they’re like second epilogues to their stories. I loved it.
Let me just say how reading this book made me:

It's ANOTHER gif-view to celebrate this amazing collection of stories from our favorite Knitting in the City girls and boys. We also get a sneak peek into Greg and Fiona.

So, let me just start with this:

Oh the fun they have on their own little island getaway. A special book, sexhaustion naps, and toads in a freezer. (What did you expect, this is Janie we are talking about! :) )

As I have with all of Penny Reid's other books, I loved Scenes from the City. I don't know about you, but I often wonder what happens after the HEA. This collection of stories were more like vignettes, glimpses into the lives of the couples from the Knitting in the City series. It gave me happy feels when reading them.

However, I think my favorite was the last story, Ninja at First Sight. Instead of showing us what comes after the happily-ever-after, Penny Reid introduces us to young Fiona and Gr ...more

Have you never read a Penny Reid book? Do you enjoy humor with a twist of quirky then Penny Reid will do it for you as she did for me. Just a few months ago, I had never heard of her or her books but that has changed thanks to Amazon. You know how books are recommended based on your previous purchases? Love Hacked made an entrance among my recommendations and I decided to try it out – I have not looked back or regretted my decision except for staying up late at night due to my inability to put the book down.

It shall be no secret, that I am a huge fan of Penny Reid’s books. I have fallen in love with all the leading men – Quinn, Nico, Alex and Drew are all handsome, strong and adorable in their own ways. However, they are not perfect – they all have little things about them that makes them human and believable real. However, while reading Scenes from the City I suddenly realized that combined Penny Reid is creating The Perfect Man. Furthermore, an author who can make me laugh aloud numerous times is a rarity so that is a bonus.

I do believe that it is safe to say that Quinn will never be bored during his marriage to Janie – she is a force to be reckoned with!

A man not frightened by the sight of tears is a real hero – Nico wins the bonus through action. Also, it was really nice to see a softer side of Elisabeth – and wonderfully written to in a way that left her strong and capable.

Alex is a gem – complete honesty is the way to go when giving compliments, and he excels at it. Moreover, only Sandra – and that mouth of hers! In addition, I love the birthday gift she gets from Alex – I would not mind one of those myself.

Melt. That is what happens to me when Drew puts pen to paper. The man is the paper and Ashley is the matching pen.

This is first real glimpse into Fiona’s mind and surprisingly she reminds me of Alex – she seems socially awkward and observes people with an objective and almost computerized mind. As for Greg, you will either fall in love with him or want to go ninja on him. I really do not think there can be anything in between. This snippet of what will be a long awaited book is just as tantalizing and captivating as her previous books.

Since I am already obsessed with the Knitting in the City books, I was feening (90's reference) for this novella as soon as Penny announced it. And I was not disappointed. It was perfection. Each story was perfect for the couple it was about. Frogs (pardon me, I mean toads), sexy Italian words, tasers!!, Drew's words, gah. They all had me grinning like I fool. I expected this. Then I got to Fiona and Greg......
*girly sigh* She did it again. I am in love with my new book boyfriend. Greg. He is EV ...more
