Beauty and the Mustache by Penny Reid
3.0
I think after 4 books in the Knitting in the City series, I'm over the knitting girls. For these books being touted as "smart romances", all of the girls have been pretty dumb when it comes to their love lives (except maybe Sandra in book 3).
I had wanted to get to Ashley's book because of the Winston Brothers, whom I freaking love, and now that I've read it, I don't think I can do it anymore. Much like the other books in this series, there is a lot of telling without much showing. Ashley meets Drew, they share a series of looks and pretentious lines from poetry and then suddenly they're in love but neither of them will come out and say it to the other. I didn't feel the chemistry between them and we didn't learn much about Drew other than he's a brooding Viking poet. I need more than that to get into a story.
Also the girls are all starting to blend together because they're all basically the same character. Their antics are becoming more unrealistic as the books go on and I just don't want to read about yarn anymore.
