I enjoyed this book, 1st in a new series. The main romance is funny yet touches on rape/abuse. The heroine's situation had me almost in tears realizing how alone she was. There are a couple of side romances that seem to get tidied up pretty easily. I had hoped for a bit more knitting but oh well! I liked the main couple and will finish this series.

This is a romance book. It has nothing to do with knitting, which is why I picked it up in the first place. The main character, Nikki, goes into a yarn shop every couple of chapters and interacts with the owner, but that's about it.

First in a trilogy of books by Ms. Ridgway. We get to meet many of the main playes in the books to come and watch the ups and downs of true love bloom between Nikki and Jay.... It deffinately doesn't come easy, and it doesn't even come quick, but this hot little chef manages to cook up her own recipe for eternal happiness within the pages of this great story.

I really enjoyed this book. Being a knitter myself I could relate to what they were talking about. Can't wait to read the next one in this series.

This was the first book I have read by Christie Ridgway. It was a nice read. Perfect summer reading.
It is the 1st in the Malibu & Ewe series.
Would recommend.

With a bum knee, Nikki's days of restaurant work are numbered, so she's set her sights on becoming a private chef. But her trial run with magazine editor Jay Buchana comes with some strange conditions-like pretending to be his girlfriend.
Somewhat predictable with some unusual twists to the plot. Al in all, a good book to take to the beach!

I really liked this book. It's got more meat to it than most romances. The heroine has valid reasons to protect her heart. More than the typical "men are jerks" reasons offered to the point of cliche in most romances. I like the way the author keeps the book fun while dealing with the serious issues in the heroine's past. She's one tough cookie and I love the repartee between the heroine and the hero.
I'm ordering the second book today, and maybe after that, more from this author.
Naomi L. (Book one of Ridgway's "Malibu and Ewe" series which seems to be about three sisters linked by an anonymous sperm donor. This book was okay- definitely a quick read with a good romance. Chef Nikki Carmichael has to give up restaurant work due to a bad knee. She takes on the job of personal chef to magazine editor Jay Buchanan. Jay's reputation as a playboy is threatened as he falls for Nikki. But he must break down her walls as well.
