These are books two and six from Penny Reid’s Knitting in the City series: Neanderthal Seeks Human Friends Without Benefits – see below Neanderthal Marries Human (novella) Love Hacked Beauty and the Mustache Scenes from the City: A Knitting in the City Surprise (novella) – also below Happily Ever Ninja – 2015 Friends Without Benefits I enjoy the unrequited love trope, especially as the romance genre always allows for the besotted character’s vindication, but having said that, Friends Without Benefits was just okay and not as […]
