Knit Tight by Annabeth Albert

4.0

I'm reading these books out of order, because I had my eyes on them for some time and then I saw this on Netgalley and I decided to grab it. But you can read them like this, because as much as I know they are companions and in each one is a different couple.

This book was like a hot chocolate - not too long or too short, just enough, sweet but not too sugary, hot but not erotica or too graphic and the characters, plot and emotions were in the right amount. I like that none of the characters are perfect or are described as being, or that their bodies are perfect, and that each of them still had a life after they got together. Because sometimes after they get together it's like they can't live or do things separately.

Brady and Ev are very nice people and I was glad to meet them and hear their stories. The only character that bothered me a little and seemed so whiny and a cry baby was Renee. She got away with too many things, I think, just by crying and yelling at Brady because he didn't let her have a life. Well, he stays a lot with the kids and sacrifices a lot of his life and time, so why don't you shut the fuck up and do the same? You can't expect from him to do everything and watch the kinds non-stop just because he's a bit older than you.

The relationship between the two is very nicely written and it didn't seem rushed, even though at some points I felt like it was a bit too sexual. I mean, I understand that they attracted to each other and they are honest about that, but could you just watch a movie or talk and not kiss, touch or fuck? I enjoy these cozy and nice moments, because they're normal and people not just fuck around. I'm not saying that there's a lot of sex in this book or it's all over the place, but there were some moments when I felt that Brady was thinking just about sex or just about Ev in a sexual way or in a way that made him feel good.

I think that this novel would be a pleeasure to read if you like M/M romance, which is not too much fonded on BDSM, dirty talk, graphic sex etc, but more on emotions, friendship, family, feelings and forming a relationship on trust and love before fucking each other's brains out. If you get what I mean. It's hot but still cute and light. And very short and easy to read.
