Unravel Me

I've been looking forward to reading Unravel Me by Christie Ridgway ever since I read the first book of the Malibu & Ewe series, How To Knit a Wild Bikini. You read what I thought of that book, here.

Here's the blurb:

SoCal's newest hotspot isn't a bar or a club, it's a beachside knitting shop Malibu & Ewe - the perfect place for L.A.'s hip, young crowd to enjoy good yarn and better gossip...

For the first time in her life, young widow Juliet Weston is facing the world on her own - or hiding from it. But an invitation to Knitter's Night at Malibu & Ewe starts her down a whole new path full of girlfriends, laughter, and independence. And that kind of passion can be contagious...

Who knew knitting could be so sexy?

For years, Noah Smith has worked for the Westons and tried to fight his his feelings for Juliet, but her newfound zest for life is turning out to be irresistible. Still, Juliet's convinced the former soldier is too young to be anything more than a for-the-moment fling. To show her just how good he could for her, he'll do anything, even if it means haunting her favorite yarn store and getting in good with her two new best friends. But Juliet's not going to make it easy for Noah to learn how to knit two hearts together...

After reading the book, my first thought was: meh. It was an alright book, but nothing exceptional. It was nothing compared to How To Knit a Wild Bikini. I felt like this book was written more as a filler between the two other books of the series. I was more interested in reading what was going on with Gabe and Cassandra. Even the "evil" stepdaughter had more umph than Juliet. Argh!

And where was the spark? I didn't find anything except for a tiny sizzle. Oh well...

I certainly hope that Dirty Sexy Knitting will be better. I'm keeping my finger crossed.
