Knit, Purl, a Baby and a Girl

Knit, Purl, a Baby and a Girl

by Hettie Bell

⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5


Poppy has recently found herself to be pregnant by her looser ex boyfriend. Deciding to do what she thinks she should do, she visits planned parenting to set about sorting this out… 


While getting into the office she meets. A friendly and charismatic escort and inside she finds a supportive reception that enables her to make her own decision regarding the baby. She’s going to have and keep it.


But how can Poppy who never graduated college or really committed and completed anything actually commit to raising her baby??? With an obvious lack of emotional support from her family and her ex boyfriend, Poppy finds herself a surrogate family with a knitting group she decides to join and also a new girlfriend when one of the group members happens to be the friendly escort from the clinic!


With these supports set in place Poppy continues on her new adventure into adulting and motherhood. 


This one sided narration by Poppy really delved into her thoughts and feelings as she goes through these changes and fights emotional battles with her family and struggles with boundaries in her relationship. I enjoyed hearing the story from her side, but would have been interested in hearing girlfriend, Rhiannon thoughts and feelings as they work to find a balance in their relationship.


This book is heavily based around the MC’s pregnancy and I was worried that it would take away fro the romantic aspects of the book. I was please to find that though the pregnancy is a big issue between Poppy and Rhiannon, the relationship grows organically within the circumstances.


As always, Carina Press delivers the happily ever after I crave! A cute read that I could not put down and totally recommend! 


Knit, Purl, a Baby and a Girl by Hettie Bell is scheduled to release March 30th, 2021.

Book Description


Some people can’t wait to have babies. They’re ready for it—with their perfect lives and their pregnancy glow…


Poppy Adams doesn’t have a perfect life, and she wasn’t ready for the positive test. An unexpected baby—Poppy’s unexpected baby—won’t exactly have her family doing cartwheels. But she’s making the right choice.


Right?


Poppy’s totally got this. She just needs a little encouragement, and a knitting group is the perfect place to start. Baby blankets, booties, tiny little hats—small steps toward her new life. But she feels like she’s already dropped a stitch when she discovers the knitting group is led by the charismatic Rhiannon.


It’s not exactly a great time to meet the woman who might just be the love of her life. While the group easily shuffles around to make room for Poppy, it’s not so easy fitting her life and Rhiannon’s together. With the weeks counting down until her baby arrives, Poppy’s going to have to decide for herself what truly makes a family.


Carina Adores is home to highly romantic contemporary love stories where LGBTQ+ characters find their happily-ever-afters.

Remember Love

Remember Love Ravenswood series, Book 1 by Mary Balogh ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5 Historical romance queen, Mary Balogh introduces us to another brilliant extended family and reminds up to remember love in one swoop with this series opener! First off, this epic second chance romance gave me pure romantic chills that were remittent to reading Jane Austen’s Persuasion. Her beautiful storytelling and detailed descriptions and character building really immersed me into this story and made me root for second chances and love!

White Knight Needed

White Knight Needed Reluctant Heroes, Book 2 by Betina Krahn ⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5 Barclay Howard is bigger and burlier than your average gentleman… and thus he has found himself to be somewhat of an antidote to the fairer sex. As a result he is more often found behind the pages of his Ivanhoe novel than out and about attempting to court a fair lady. But when his path crosses with down on her luck Norah Capshaw, his white knight complex rises up to make him go above and beyond again and again to be her hero… even though she is incredibly reluctant to the idea! This was a fun adventure romance filled with roadside hijinks, and a family mystery. Barclay was a perfect hero in this book. He was always there offering support and rescue to Norah. On the other side Norah’s resistance of Barclay and his efforts was the only wet blanket on this otherwise delightfully sweet romance!   Overall, this is my second Betina Kran book and I find her writing very light hearted and action packed.

A Duke for Miss Townsbridge

A Duke for Miss Townsbridge The Townsbridges, Book 4 by Sophie Barnes ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5 Sophie Barnes is a master at the novella! Every time I read one of her novellas, it is just perfect! Characters that are developed and graphics you, quick flowing plots to move the story and an ending to delight! As a duke, Matthew believes he should be able to marry anyone he decides on… and he decides that the perfect bride to fit into his unconventional life is his neighbour, Sarah. Since Sarah has never even met Mathew before his proposal, she decides that a courtship is needed before she make up her mind! I was was immediately invested in the non-traditional courtship between nearly on the shelf Sarah, and her reclusive duke for a neighbour Matthew. The determination and genuine personalities of both characters carries this book off effortlessly and would leave me wanting for more if the story had not been finished up so neatly! I adore a good romance novella and liken it to the perfect bite ...
