Heartwarming romance of self discovery, acceptance and knitting.
Connor's emergence from a closet he didn't even realise he was in was both joyous and a little heartbreaking. Both characters were likeable and had stacks of chemistry making it easy to root for them even when they screwed up.
A lovely easy read for a warm Sunday afternoon.

This was a beautifully written story that I couldn't put down. I loved the dynamic between Connor & Judah and the way their friendship starts. It was also good to see anxiety mentioned, and I loved having the connection to the Jewish aspects of the story, as minor as they were.
I received an advanced copy and voluntarily gave my honest review.

The story is a complete surprise to me, not only because of the mental health aspects that come with one of the MC's dealing with anxiety, but the way his feelings develop for Judah, when he'd never been interested in a man before. Judah is patient, understanding, and falls fast for the quiet and nervous paramedic. His mom and brother are spectacular, and the slow development of Connor and Judah's relationship is depicted in a sweet way. There are some stumbling blocks, but the two men together and sweet. Lovely!
A lovely, warm and cozy story. Juday and Connor had wonderful chemistry and I loved the atmosphere of the yarn shop and the way the story dealt with Connor's anxiety.

Summary - Connor Devlin is a paramedic who suffers from GAD (Generalized Anxiety Disorder) when he decides to take up knitting to help calm his nerves and anxieties he goes to a knitting shop called Hooked On You where he meets the owner Judah Bissel. Judah is sick and tired of falling for unavailable men, this, however, doesn't stop him from falling for Connor Who is straight or is he?
What I thought about this book - I was given an ARC of this book by Gay Romance Reviews. This book was a really cute, low/medium angst read. I found I could really relate to Connor as I too suffer from GAD. I think both characters are really likeable and I found myself really rooting for them to work out. Character development was really good throughout the book.
The plot was really interesting, each to follow and kept me hooked, I found myself saying one more chapter and then reading several and before I knew it it was the early hours of the morning. I honestly couldn't put this book down.
I also loved how the men where knitting and it showed how this wasn't just a women's hobby.
Overall a really enjoyable book and I really enjoyed it.
This was a new author for me and I am excited to see what else this author has to offer.

This was cute and I liked all the characters, but it was so slow...and kind of boring.

This is a really great story. Connor and Judah build a great friendship, though Connor ends up with a lot to process in regards to his feelings and doesn’t handle it the best. A delivery by Judah really makes Connor think about what he wants and how he wants to live his life. I was so happy that once Connor decided what he wanted he didn’t let it deter him. I really like their relationship and this story. I couldn’t help but think Connor’s knitting was adorable.
