Search - The Sweetheart's Knitting Club

LOVED this book. I had forgotten how much I like Lori Wilde and her books because it has been a while since I cracked one of hers open. What a treat to read this book.

This book is a great story about a woman, Flynn, who is in love with Jesse, the boy she could never have. When the book begins she is on the verge of getting engaged to the local sheriff, the town good-boy, whom she has dated since highschool. The only hitch is that her heart really belongs to Jesse, the convict who stole her heart 10 years ago -right before he was sent to prison on the eve of their highschool graduation.

Jesse comes back to town after his release and he is determined to get his girl. And this time he will keep her at all cost.

I loved the characters in this book and the writing keeps you entertained, through laughs and tears from beginning to end. You can't help but root for this couple right out of the gate. It is a fantastic story of lost youth, the righting of wrongs, and learning to follow your heart first and foremost. GREAT GREAT BOOK!!!!!

My Thoughts: I have read a few of Lori's previous work and loved them so when I heard about this one, I knew I had to read it as soon as it was released. We meet Flynn who is an all around good nice girl who always puts everyone else first because she cares about people. She has turned down the sheriff's marriage proposal 4 times now because she still has a soft spot in her heart for another man (even though she tells herself this isn't why). Its been 10 years and as soon as she lays eyes on Jesse again, she gets that schoolgirl weak in the knees feeling he used to give her.Jesse is back in town, fresh out of prison for a crime he was innocent off, and he wants one thing, to get the girl he has been longing for back, and maybe even take down the real criminal in the process.
I loved Jesse from that first paragraph. He is dangerous and sexy, even though really he's a softie. He was so sexy it gave me chills as I read about him. One thing that I especially liked was the way he called Flynn Dimples. Whoa Baby!
I loved the knitting angle of this book, I loved the relationships, I loved Flynn and Jesse and wanted them together from the get go. This book was sweet and sexy and I loved it so much! I'm looking forward to reading The True Love Quilting Club which comes out in April 2010. This book is a must read if your a romance fan and ever think about that guy from 10 years ago, you know the one I'm talking about, the who got away.

Overall: Loved Loved Loved Loved it!! Go get yourself a copy now! Don't wait, dive right into this one!

I enjoyed the chemistry with Flynn and Jesse. Overall, an entertaining read, although I thought the ending a bit too pat.

Loved it. Could not put down. Can't help loving those bad boys who aren't really so bad after all.

Wonderful story and well written. This is not a bunch of old ladies knitting and telling about their individual lives. It is about a young woman trying to set up a knit shop for the community while a sheriff and a bad boy vie for her attention. Lots of drama.

What a great book. I really enjoyed this one.
