Beauty and the Mustache (Knitting in the City #4)

I made the mistake of listening to this while I analyzed spreadsheets at work…in a cubicle…with short walls! I have laughed, snorted, cried…it\’s a wonder I haven\’t been Baker Acted!!! Being Southern, I appreciate the genuine respect the narrator gave to the Southern drawl. It can be offensive when one tries to emulate a dialect that has many different strains from which to choose. She was phenomenal!!! And the brothers…dear mercies in heaven…I love those boys!!! I lost my Daddy 7 months ago, so there were parts that were still raw to my heart; however, the author used deflection of humor at just the right times to keep the story from going too dark. Thank you for this. I thoroughly enjoyed the story, although a few times I blushed at some of the scenes; as they were unexpected and not my particular preference. But it didn\’t go overboard so I appreciated that. Well written and well narrated!!!

My kinda book. I wish the other in the series were on audible. I would listen right away. I loved the brothers and her friends in this story and of course the relationship with her mom. Her brothers and friends made me laugh and her mom made me cry. Nice blend. I am so tired of these books with so called alpha males. I have determined that alpha male equals abusive so no thank you. This was the kind of alpha male I like. Kind thoughtful caring and strong. Their relationship developed naturally and even though I am not much of a poetry person, I loved it in the book. More of knitting in the city please.

I wish the narrator would have known the other accents from the previous books; like Janie\’s lisp, and at the very least she could have done Sandra\’s accent– as they both are supposed to have southern drawls. Otherwise everything was fantastic.

This might be my favorite audiobook ever. The narration is spectacular, the Tennessee accent was done really well and when the narrator switched to a male voice, it worked really well. The story itself was really beautiful, a gorgeous love story with a bit of humor and a lot of emotion. This was really a beautiful story and I really enjoyed this audiobook.

This book hits very close to home. I recently had the same experience of a family member having a terminal illness. This book helped me understand that the feelings and guilt a caretaker experiences are normal. I would sometimes say \”yes, exactly!\” Thank you Penny Reid for helping me heal and understand the process of losing a loved one. Now for the actual book, Ash and Drew are two of the most loveable book people. The way Drew loves Ashley is breathtaking. It is all encompassing … complete. Ashley\’s relationship with her mother broke my heart. Only because I know the feeling of having it and then not having it. Everyday phone calls just to hear the other persons voice, that is true mother/daughter love. AND let\’s not forget the WINSTON BROTHERS (yes, it needs all CAPS) … I need more of them and soon! They take this book from borderline sad and romantic to laugh out loud funny. Check the schedule!!! Joy Nash\’s performance was excellent, the accents were not overly done (I am from Texas and I hate when accents are exaggerated). This book is a must listen.
