Synopsis:
There are three things you should know about Quinn Sullivan: 1) He is madly in love with Janie Morris, 2) He’s not above playing dirty to get what (or who) he wants, and 3) He doesn’t know how to knit.
After just five months of dating Janie, Quinn—former Wendell and unapologetic autocrat—is ready to propose marriage. In fact, he’s more than ready. If it were up to Quinn, he would efficiently propose, marry, and beget Janie with child all in the same day—thereby avoiding the drama and angst that accompanies the four stages of pre-matrimony: engagement, meeting the parents, bachelor/bachelorette party, and overblown, superfluous wedding day traditions. But Janie, much to Quinn’s dismay, tosses a wrench in his efficacious endeavors and challenges him to prove his devotion by going through the matrimonial motions, no matter how minute and mundane.
Will Quinn last until the wedding day? Or will he yield to his tyrant impulses?
Regardless, one thing is for certain, Quinn Sullivan will have to learn to expect the Spanish Inquisition (i.e. the unexpected) if he plans to have and keep Janie Morris as his wife.
This book is not a standalone. It is the sequel to ‘Neanderthal Seeks Human,’ it is book #1.5 in the ‘Knitting in the City’ series, and it is a full length, 100k word novel.

“Are you okay?” I covered his hand with mine,
wanting the physical contact. This was an action on my part that would have
been remarkable six months ago as I’d never been one to seek or give physical
touches as comfort. But with Quinn, touching and being touched felt as natural
and essential as breathing or reading comic books.
“Yeah.
Fine. You?” His eyes searched mine, but they were cagey and distant.
I
frowned at him for a moment before speaking my thoughts. “I feel like there is
something wrong—with you—and you don’t want to tell me, or you’re waiting to
tell me. Is it work? Does it have something to do with why I have three guards
with me everywhere I go?”
“Why
do you think there’s anything wrong?”
“Because
you’re McCoolpants Von No Touchy since we entered the limo.”
One
of his eyebrows arched, his cool expression wavering.
“What’s
this? A new nickname?”
“I
hope not. But it’s the most efficient way I can think of to describe how
strangely you’re behaving.”
“What’s
strange?”
“You
haven’t made any attempt to take off my clothes. In fact, you haven’t even
reached under my skirt. Based on historical data, this behavior is strange.”
He
gave me his slow, sexy grin—made even more potent by our semi-touching
closeness. “It was a short ride.”
I
shrugged. “That’s never stopped you before.”
“This is good news.” His voice was barely
contained mirth.
“What
is good news?”
“I now have your expectations calibrated to
expect sex every time we ride in a limo.”Audio Feed:

4.5 Stars
I have to say I am quickly getting to the point where Penny Reid is becoming a must read.

About Penny Reid
SEX! It all
started with sex, between my parents. Personally I don’t like thinking about
it, but whatever works for you is a-ok with me. No judgment. The sex happened
in California and much of my life also occurred in that state until I moved
from the land of nuts (almonds), wine, silicon… boobs, and heavy traffic to the
southeast US. Like most writers I like to write, but let’s get back to sex. Eventually
I married and gave birth to 2 small people-children (boy-6, girl-4 as of this
writing).
By day I’m a
biomedical researcher with focus on rare diseases. By night I’m a knitter,
sewer, lino block carver, fabric printer, soap maker, and general crafter. By
the wee hours of the morning or when I’m intoxicated I love to listen to the
voices in my head and let them tell me stories. I hope you enjoy their
stories.
