About this listen
What’s a straight guy to do when he falls for his new friend?
Paramedic Connor Devlin is a stressed-out tower of a man. Hoping knitting will help him unwind, he visits a local craft shop, where he’s overwhelmed by the yarn selection but more so by his feelings for shop owner Judah.
Judah Bissel is tired of falling for unavailable men. He can’t help his crush on Connor, though, or wanting to get closer to the big, gentle bear. And that just might spell trouble because pining for straight guys is not Judah’s style.
As a blizzard pummels the city, the men hunker down together to wait out the storm. When the spark between them ignites, will the revelation that Connor feels more than friendship for Judah bring them together or tear them apart?

Story - two really sweet MCs. Judah is out and proud but has been hurt in other relationships, so he has become more careful. Connor is a paramedic with anxiety issues, meeting Judah in his shop, giving knitting lessons. Connor's bi-awakening was understandably stressful for him, but his reactions hurt both of them.
very enjoyable

Connor Devlin has GAD (general anxiety disorder) and, on the suggestion of his work-partner, decides to take up knitting, as he's heard that crafting is a good way to unwind. He heads into Hook Me, a local craft store, and is instantly bewildered by all the different supplies on offer, but fortunately, the owner, Judah Bissel, is on hand to help him out and offer advice about the project Connor wants to start (a baby blanket for his partner).
Hearing the words “baby” and “partner”, Judah jumps to the obvious conclusion with some degree of regret. Connor is good-looking and seems a geuinely nice guy and Judah finds him very attractive – but he puts him in the friend zone and proceeds to help Connor to choose the yarn and patterns for the blanket and suggests joining one of his classes to learn how to knit. Over the next few weeks, they spend a fair bit of time together, bonding over knitting, sharing meals and getting to know each other. Judah’s crush on Connor doesn’t go away – especially not after Connor explains the baby blanket is for his work-partner – but he still believes it can't go anywhere because Connor is straight. But one night during a snowstorm, everything changes and Connor realises he isn't as straight as he'd thought he was, and that his desire to spend time with Judah – hanging out, spending time at the shop on his days off - is due to more than friendship. But it's a lot to take in, and he's confused; he likes Judah a great deal, but is he ready to reassess such an important part of who he is? How will his brother - who has been his only family since they were abandoned by their parents - react if Connor tells him he thinks he's not straight?
There are a few road-bumps along the way, and the challenges Connor and Judah face are realistic and relateable. They’re likeable, well-rounded characters who make mistakes and work through them, and I liked how supportive and caring they are with each other
Kevin Earlywine’s narration is decent, but I can’t say it adds much to the listening experience. It’s well-paced and he has a pleasant, mid-range voice, but there’s a repetitive (sometimes whiny) intonation to his delivery that I found off-putting, and his character differentiation could have been better because I couldn’t always tell the difference between Connor and Judah in their conversations. It’s not the worst narration I’ve ever heard, but it doesn’t do the story any favours either.
Narration doesn't do the story any favours

We meet two souls both with issues, Judah runs a knitting shop which also teaches newbies, whilst Connor is a paramedic who has a pregnant partner and wants to knit a baby blanket.
Both men have their own issues, but a friendship grows amongst the knitting, This is a lovely friends to lovers book, an easy to listen to story, would recommend.
Kevin Earlywine does a fantastic job narrating this book. I speed this narration up to 1.20 on Audible, which is usual for me.

Connor’s going through a rough patch. Things are about to change in his world. This has happened before, and he’s struggled through it. When he came to Boston and became a paramedic, though, he sort of figured he’d be good. Then his work partner becomes pregnant and he’s facing more change. He adores her, though, and so decides to knit a baby blanket.
Enter Judah. He runs his family’s knitting store and is unapologetically gay. He’s been in relationships before, but nothing’s stuck. He is not, however, going to get involved with a straight guy.
Then a snowstorm blankets the city and Connor and Judah find themselves in close quarters. Suddenly things that had been so clear no longer are. Suddenly, both find themselves reexamining their preconceived notions.
This was a lovely book. I adored the knitting theme. I’m certainly curious what comes next. Kevin Earlywine is an easy narrator to listen to and I thought he did a great job. Can’d wait for the next book!
A cute story

This was a really lovely slow-ish burn romance, where the romance grew incredibly naturally from friendship to romantic love between Connor and Judah.
Connor, looking for a new hobby & way to relax & manage his GAD, as well as wanting to make a gift for his pregnant coworker, walks into Judah’s crafting & notions store, where he is immediately welcomed and brought into the fold of the community of the store (with is crafting classes & weekly clubs), and his friendship with Judah begins to form.
After a few months of friendship & growing connection, when they are snowed in together Connor finally lets down his final walls he’d been keeping up between not just him and Judah, but also between himself & his true self.
The third act was also lovely and I can’t wait to start the next book!
A fantastic slow burn!
