There are three things you need to know about Marie Harris:
1) She’s fed up with online dating,
2) She’s so fed up, she’s willing to forego the annoyance and consider more creative alternatives, and
3) She knows how to knit.
After the most bizarre first date in the history of dating, Marie is looking for an alternative to men. With the help of her friends, she quickly identifies a few possibilities: Need a cuddle? Use a professional cuddler. Need affirmation? Get yourself a life coach. Need an orgasm? Try orgasm meditation! Why does she need the hassle of a romantic partner when she can meet all her needs with paid services? But then her irritating date resurfaces. And he’s not at all the person she thought he was. And he suggests a different—and crazier—solution to her dilemma...
Not my absolute favorite, but I really did enjoy Marie and Matt’s love story. I really loved the sorta “meet-cute” they experience and ensuing reveal. Seriously made me laugh out loud. Once the story really gets going, I was a bit impatient for them to actually get together. Thankfully we get a good story and actually see two characters connect and explore their relationship. And then we get to the sexy times and they were surprisingly dirty. These sexy scenes were much better written than previous ones in the series. Lots of fun! And I loved the little glimpses into the other Knitting Circle’s members.
