Juliet Weston, a widow for 11 months now, loved her husband
deeply -- he was much older than her, a wealthy,
distinguished military general. He had sheltered and
provided for her, maybe more than she wanted or needed. Now
that he's gone, his most trusted soldier, Noah Smith, is
fulfilling a promise to the general to continue taking care
of Juliet.
After the negative press surrounding the general's death,
protecting his widow becomes even more important to Noah,
especially since he feels guilty about his own fascination
with the beautiful Juliet. As Juliet emerges from her
grief, she's distraught to find her sexual desires
awakening and her attraction to the enlisted man in her
guest house growing stronger. Juliet's own guilt about the
day of the general's death prevents her from pursuing Noah,
until her careful facade is torn apart and she comes
unraveled. Can Noah help Juliet knit together a new life?
In this second book in the Malibu and Ewe series, the
romance of Juliet and Noah is intertwined with the story of
three half-sisters who share a sperm-donor father and meet
through a knitting shop. Christie Ridgway weaves the
stories together brilliantly, keeping each sister relevant
while focusing on the developing romance of her main
characters. The first book in this series, HOW TO KNIT A
WILD BIKINI, introduced the romance of chef Nikki and
magazine mogul and playboy Jay. The forthcoming third book
promises to detail the relationship between knitting shop
owner Cassandra and her troubled neighbor and fellow
businessman Gabe. I can't wait for the third book, so I can
find out more about Gabe's past and his potential future
with Cassandra. Ms. Ridgway's novels are humorously
written, touch on serious life and family issues, and are a
delight to read. Her storytelling is fresh and original and
the only thing that could make these books better would be
a free knitting pattern at the back of each the book.
Young
widow Juliet Weston finds solace—and friendship—at
beachside knitting shop Malibu & Ewe. But closer to home,
a longtime family friend and former soldier is the one who
will help her discover just how to knit two hearts
together.
