I have no objection to soft porn but I didn't find this at all interesting. As with a previous book of Lori Wilde's the "Club" is virtually non-existent. The title is misleading.

Another winner.

I've been a fan of Lori Wilde's for a while now so it was with much anticipation that I read this book. The Sweetheart's Knitting club has all the ingredients for a great romance (for me) : the reunion, the second-chance at love, the small town setting, the lovable characters and the great writing that just wraps all those elements up together perfectly.
Jesse (the supposedly bad boy) and Flynn (the good girl) are impossible not to love. My heart literally broke for them. I wondered, before reading it, how the author would manage to deal with the 10-years-in-prison convict but her story really worked for me. It's exactly the kind of book that made me read romances in the first place. You'll finish it with a big smile on your face... and addicted as well ! No worries though, it is part of a series. Can't hardly wait to read the others (the cookie club one in particular) !

Surprisingly weak offering from Lori Wilde

Format:Mass Market Paperback
I'm a big fan of Lori Wilde and especially admired her wonderful Wedding Veil Wishes series. So it pains me to say that this book was almost unrecognizable as one of Lori's books. I kept waiting for this boring book to get better and unfortunately, it never did. It was almost a complete waste of my time.
It started out with promise: Flynn, the eternal good girl who never strays from the image that is expected of her and Jesse, the returning "bad" boy, who was framed for a crime he didn't commit by Flynn's jealous high school boyfriend. But when he finally hits town, it is a start and stop dance of conflicted emotions on Flynn's part. The use of the character questioning herself was completely overdone. "Why does he make me feel this way? What should I do about it?" Blah, blah, frickin' blah! This is throughout the whole book! Flynn only commits herself to Jesse in the last pages and I never really felt any chemistry between the two.
It is ridiculously obvious that the "perfect" sheriff is really psychotic and the cause of all the trouble, yet his fate for being responsible for illegal activity is never resolved! For an author who wrote some of the best thriller romances such as "You Only Love Twice," the "suspense" part of the book was utterly weak. I can't figure out if the intention was to be obvious or what, but it didn't work.
I think there were too many storylines thrown in here and everything was muddled into a knotted mess. The writing was shockingly bad. I'm not sure what direction Lori is taking, but I sure don't like it.

Breathtaking

At first I thought this was going to be about a bunch of old ladies sitting in a circle knitting. True, there are old ladies and knitting involved but that is just a piece of the story. Flynn is not old and she doesn't know how to knit. Beau is her fiance, and he does not knit either. Jesse is an ex-con and Flynn's true love and trust me, knitting is not how he passed the time in prison.
I found myself drawn to the romance between Flynn and Jesse. I thought Beau was a pushy cop who thought he could have whatever he wanted. He is constantly pushing Flynn to marry him and always backing her in a corner. I wanted to jump in the book and knock the crap out of him. Jesse was a pure Southern gentleman who may have been recently released from prison, but wanted to make a fresh start with Flynn. Whenever Jesse's dialogue came up, I could just picture him in my head with his southern accent.
When a writer can describe a character with just what he is speaking, you know you have a new Bestselling Author! The author kept me glued to the pages, consumed by the passion and story that I never wanted it to end. It flowed great and was detailed perfectly.
A new author for me that I will keep an eye on for new releases. Once again, BREATHTAKING!
