“Fear don’t count if you really want something.”
(This book is 0.5 in the Winston Brothers series but Book 4 in the Knitting in the City series.)
This story is about a woman named Ashley who comes home and finds out that her mum is dying of cancer. She has 6 hilarious, sexy and protective brothers and a Viking looking family friend who melts her butter.
It’s an emotional rollercoaster of emotions as this book starts off with the feelings of enemies to lovers, grief, uncertainty to be loved, acceptance and forgiveness. It shows how family always stick together no matter the circumstances. But it also give the lesson that you shouldn’t be hard on yourself and that everyone deserves happiness.
The brothers were all hilarious and you can expect how they were when their only sister started romancing. But they also showed their protective and caring nature when they were worried about her not looking after herself, while caring for their mother.
Ashley’s knitting group (which you will be reintroduced to if you have read the knitting series) were hilarious too. Their moments and “advice” and how they stick together and basically ”convince” you to tell them your worries, is what you expect from a great friendship group….also there is some moments that her friends can share TMI 😂
The storytelling of this delicate situation and how Penny Reid incorporated a romance mixed in with it, was incredibly done. I never imagined reading a romance book with such a moving and emotional storyline, that gets you rooting for a HEA ending x
