my absolute favorite in the series. I think it's one of my favorite romances ever.

Re-read May 2017

I love this book.
Simply as that.
It's one of my favorite romances ever. I am not quite as blown away as the first time. But it's still just beautiful. Heartbreaking and so so romantic. (this is coming from the most likely least romantic person I know)
I adore Drew and Ash. Though I actually found them a bit more exasperating this time around. I fell all over in love with the Winston brood. Cleatus! ...more

Beauty and the Mustache is the first book of Ms. Reid’s that I’ve had the pleasure of reading. Although, now that I’ve finished it I’m already finding myself adding more of this series to my Kindle. I can’t seem to get enough of these characters that she has created. Ashley and Drew are both dynamic characters with strong personalities. All of Ashley’s brothers are awesome characters all on their own. Throughout my reading of Beauty and the Mustache, I felt like I was sitting there in their fami ...more

What can I say about this book that is as eloquent as all the other reviews, nothing. I read this book first, which is 4th in the series, I had no idea that it was (I didn't read the small print). When I finished I actually had to thank the author, this book was fantastic, suburb and all other of those words. Penny Reid is a phenomenal story teller. I loved the southern aspect, I currently live in the south so that was fun to connect to. You will fall in love the Ashley and Drew, and the her bro ...more

I think this is my favorite of the Knitting in the City books to date. I loved getting to know the new characters. Ashley was always present in the other books, but she was never in the spotlight like Janie, Sandra, and Elizabeth. This is such a whimsical series, but this installment is a bit sad and sobering, but with a happy ending and a sweet romance.

I loved getting to know the new characters. Ashley was always present in the other books, but she was never in the spotlight like Janie, Sandra, and Elizabeth. This is such a whimsical series, but this installment is a bit sad and sobering, but with a happy ending and a sweet romance.

The book starts out with Ashley, a spitfire of a character, giving who she thinks is one of her 6 brothers a "purple nurple" because they are revving a car engine early in the morning and she's only had a few hours of sleep. Much to her embarrassment, she's twisted the nipple of the attractive Federal Game Warden who looks like a Viking marauder per Ashley's description. Ashley has flown home to Tennessee from Chicago to visit her ailing mother. Turns out her mother is terminally ill with cancer and only has a few weeks to live, Drew has been entrusted with her mother's estate and medical care for several reasons that are revealed later in the book. This does not sit well with Ashley but she deals. Being a nurse practitioner and the only daughter, Ashely is determined to make every minute count with her mother.

Drew is determined to make ever moment count with Ashley as he is instantly attracted to her, but has zero expectations of a relationship with her as he knows her life is in Chicago. He makes her shower, eat, have philosophical debates, sleep, and repair the damaged relationships with her brothers. He's handsome, quiet, and broody, but full of deep feelings. He's one of the good ones and Ashely eventually figures that out. Their romance slowly takes shape and smoulders for quite a while. It almost took too long to develop and for them to admit that they were in love.

I loved the addition of the whimsical Winston Brothers, and now that I know there is a spinoff series with the bearded brood I can't wait to read about them and their antics. The book is filled iwth the comical appearances of the Chicago knitting group ...more

Since I didn't get to go meet Penny today in Houston at a book signing, I figured I'd buy one of her books to make myself feel better. I LOVED this story the best of all so far! It might be because of all the bearded beauties, but this story was just lovely. ...more
