Mad About Ewe

Common Threads

De: Susannah Nix

Narrado por: Tieran Wilder, Blake Stanton

Dawn Botstein is doing just fine after her divorce, thank you very much. She’s got her yarn store to run, her house to herself for the first time in her life, and no use for men anymore. That is, she didn’t until the hottie silver fox who walks into her store turns out to be her old high-school crush - the guy who rejected her 30 years ago. No way is she going to lose her head over him this time, no matter how well he wears that salt-and-pepper lumberjack beard. Okay, so he’s the opposite of her ex in every way, and his attention gives her a thrill she thought she’d never feel again. But she’s not risking her heart again.

Mike Pilota is having a midlife crisis. But instead of buying a red sports car he can’t afford and dressing like a 25-year-old who’s time-traveled from the 1990s, he quit his job after his second divorce to move closer to his recently widowed mother. He didn’t expect to run into Dawn again, but as soon as he lays eyes on her he’s utterly smitten. So he sets out to make up for past mistakes and prove he can be the kind of man she deserves.

A full-length contemporary romance, Mad About Ewe can be listened to as a stand-alone novel, but it is also the first book in the Common Threads series, set in the Seduction in the City World and the Penny Reid Book Universe.

I wanted to love it but…

I love Susannah Nix’s stories but this was a little slow for me. Just not quite what I thought it would be.

Absolutely loved it !!!

I absolutely loved it, the mature love, the sincerity and insecurities, the crossroads between knitting in the city series. Can’t wait to read the remaining books !!!

I couldn’t finish it

I couldn’t root for a male lead character less. The whole time it seems like he is just going with the flow and she falls into his lap though he is making no real effort. One scene when he realizes he really likes her I think he waits ten days to act on it? I can’t. Can’t finish it. The only character that comes close to this level of frustration in this “universe” was Elizabeth in Friends without Benefits who took forever and way too many chances but still had feelings. He might redeem himself in the last quarter, but it seems like he wouldn’t give the effort if she hasn’t already been asking him out twice and still offering him lessons.

Unexpected

When I read the book summary, I wasn’t impressed but since I liked the author and the other books connected in the series, I gave it a chance. It was an unexpected second chance story. I loved it!

A good laugh

This was a great book. It brought back memories of my school years and the characters are about my age. It’s funny and has a good story line!! I give it 5 stars for everything. I love listening to Susannah Nix books.

Could've been me!!!

Loved this story!!! This could've been my story, in an alternate universe of course. So many parallels, but with much happier results. Loved the sweetness and the hot and spicy, for sure!!! Both narrators did a superb job. The cherry on top was the cameos of some of our beloved "Knitters in the city" family! Another jewel for the crown of Smartypants💞👍🏽😍
