Publisher's Summary

This is a full-length novel, the fourth book in the Knitting in the City series.

There are three things you need to know about Ashley Winston: 1) She has six brothers and they all have beards, 2) She is a reader, and 3) She knows how to knit.

Former beauty queen Ashley Winston’s preferred coping strategy is escapism. She escaped her Tennessee small town, loathsome father, and six brothers eight years ago. Now she escapes life daily via her Amazon kindle one-click addiction.

However, when a family tragedy forces her to return home, Ashley can’t escape the notice of Drew Runous - local Game Warden, bear wrestler, philosopher, and everyone’s favorite guy. Drew’s irksome philosophizing in particular makes Ashley want to run for the skyscrapers, especially since he can’t seem to keep his exasperating opinions - or his soulful poetry, steadfast support, and delightful hands - to himself. Pretty soon the girl who wanted nothing more than the escape of the big city finds she’s lost her heart in small town Tennessee.

Funny & philosophical

An absolutely delightful read. This book deals with great sadness but that is expertly countered with humour and some beautiful poetic sharing of emotions. A must read.

cute Southern accents and romance

very enjoyable story to have a long listen on my 6 hour road trip. I was hooked within 5 minutes. All the characters came to life in this well written love story. I liked hearing about the countryside in Tennessee. gosh the accents were hilarious, so intense!

Love this series!

This has been the most emotional of the books so far, whilst still containing many laughs and antics that make you smile! Partly I think as I know the emotional roller coaster of losing a parent, also because of the depth of writing by the author on this subject, not to mention the narrators skill in bringing the try to life!

Fun for the poets at heart

Kudos to Penny Reid, the comedic educated modern woman's romance novelist...this was such fun to listen to ...I also enjoyed all the different American accents

Not really..

I am not a fan of the southern drawl, although Joy Nash wasn’t as bad as most.
The story was okay, but I’m not inclined to get anymore.
Poetry is fine in moderation…

Joy Nash is a wonderful narrator

Beauty and the Mustache is a favourite ebook for me to rereid, but this time around I listened to the audiobook for the first time. The narrator Joy Nash is absolutely perfect for Ashley, PERFECT! She IS Ashley, her voice exactly like I imagined Ashley to sound when I was reading Ashley and Drew's story.

very, very well written ( and narrated)

I have only recently discovered Penny R, and where have I been?! this is almost the last book in this series that I read, rather than starting with it first. for some reason the blurb didn't appeal - and it really an appealing story. I love the clever and poetic way she writes without being syrupy silly sweet. it strangely feels real - a more wonderful reality. I loved Drew and Ashley was perfect for him, and love at that relationship was explored, along with all the brothers (and their intoduction). she takes her time in building up to a relationship, or "relations", and honestly with some novels this is annoying and feels unnecessary- but with relationship, and most of her books, it is done well and feels appropriate- but the chemistry is there! she actually rights great love scenes, so kind wish there were more and hence a slight tension between wanting that part of the relationship to start...and knowing its not right to rush it. emotions feel really, dialogue can be very funny and real. narrator nails it all!
