About this listen

From the USA Today best-selling series.

There are three things you need to know about Kat Tanner (aka Kathleen Tyson...and yes, she is that Kathleen Tyson). One: She’s determined to make good decisions. Two: She must get married ASAP. And three: She knows how to knit.

Being a billionaire heiress isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. In fact, it sucks. Determined to live a quiet life, Kat Tanner changed her identity years ago and eschewed her family’s legacy. But now, Kat’s silver spoon past has finally caught up with her, and so have her youthful mistakes. To avoid imminent disaster, she must marry immediately; it is essential that the person she chooses have no romantic feelings for her whatsoever and be completely trustworthy.

Fortunately, she knows exactly who to ask. Dan O’Malley checks all the boxes: single, romantically indifferent to her, completely trustworthy. Sure, she might have a wee little crush on Dan the Security Man, but with clear rules, expectations, and a legally binding contract, Kat is certain she can make it through this debacle with her sanity - and heart - all in one piece.

Except, what happens when Dan O’Malley isn’t as indifferent - or as trustworthy - as she thought?

This is the final instalment of Knitting in the City series and I do believe this was my favourite.
As always Penny’s writing is exceptional.

The narration of this book is excellent, the intonation of both characters spot on. Loved the humour and the storyline. Slightly sad that the epilogue seems to indicate no more in this series....

Enjoy!

This is the last in the series, but you do need to read the previous books to understand many of the side characters and their individual quirks. Unfortunately I did not warm to the h in this book. In previous books she was depicted as shy and withdrawn, but in this book her internal monologues were depressing and immature, and she often created silly “issues” in her head which caused pointless conflict.

The H in this book is fantastic, but he made an assumption about the h that was so strange that it seemed implausible that it took two years for the mistake to be realised. The first half of this book could have been covered in one chapter if the couple had just sat down for an hour and had a decent conversation, but instead every interaction between them is strung out with work/friend “interruptions”, and the story dragged.

The second half of the book had lots of “almost” sex, thinking about sex, practicing sex etc etc (yawn), due to the sudden disclosure that the h has a wierd sexual hang-up, which seemed contrived simply as an excuse to put in long extended chapters of sexual foreplay. This focus on sex took away from the anticipated corporate fraud plotline, and we are expected to believe that running a billion dollar company just needs a couple of days attendance per month to learn the ropes, and a group of friends who conveniently have all the required expert knowledge (and spare time) to untangle the wrong doings. I yearned for the Alex/Sandra/bitcoin book where the reader was credited with some intelligence, instead of an implausible kidnapping plot which, I agree with other reviewers, felt more like a Scooby Doo cartoon.

I really loathe giving a bad review to a Penny Reid book, as this writer has brought me so much joy in the past with her fabulous characters and unusual romances. But this book dwells too much on sex, and not enough on proper adult interactions and a fraud plotline that has some teeth.

Disappointing end to an excellent series
