Real Men Knit

by Kwana Jackson and K.M. Jackson

Book Overview

"If you're looking for an easy charmer, this is the novel for you."--Shondaland

When their foster-turned-adoptive mother suddenly dies, four brothers struggle to keep open the doors of her beloved Harlem knitting shop.

Jesse Strong is known for two things: his devotion to his adoptive mom, Mama Joy, and his reputation for breaking hearts. When Mama Joy unexpectedly passes away, he and his brothers have different plans for what to do with Strong Knits, their neighborhood knitting store. Jesse wants to keep the store open. His brothers want to tie off loose ends and close shop....

Part-time shop employee Kerry Fuller has kept her crush on Jesse a secret. When she overhears his impassioned plea to his brothers to keep the knitting shop open, she volunteers to help. Unlike Jesse, Kerry knows the "knitty-gritty" of the business, and together they make plans to reinvent Strong Knits for a new generation.

But the more time they spend together, the stronger the chemistry builds between them. Kerry, knowing Jesse's history, doesn't believe their relationship can last longer than she can knit one, purl two. But Jesse is determined to prove to her that he can be the man for her forever and always. After all, real men knit.

Love

Oh my. I truly loved this book. It was so entertaining and at times heartwarming. Loved all the characters and I’d love to have a shop like that around.

Omg

Great book. Funny characters and good story line. I really enjoyed this book. Looking forward to reading part 2

I liked it a lot.

I really enjoyed this unique story. A Harlem knitting store is not a common setting for a novel, so that in itself added a level of not-sameyness to the book. I liked all the relationships - romantic ones, friendships, and family relationships (the brothers are so funny!). The whole cast of characters was great and I really enjoyed seeing them grow and learn about themselves as the story went on. Very well done.
