This anthology of three different knitters stories is one you don't want to put down. The Twenty-First Wish by Debbie Macomber is a sequel to her book Twenty Wishes. Blossom Street's shop owner Anne Marie Roche is attracted to her adopted daughters biological father when he comes into their lives. When it comes to love Debbie delivers in a tasteful and classy way.

Coming Unraveled by Susan Mallery is an interesting read, Robyn is down-on-her-luck and returns to Texas to run her grandmothers knitting store while she has surgery. She is not welcomed to fondly by a hunky cowboy who is a regular at the store and has grown protective of granny and her two other lifelong friends. He is in therapy after an accident that kills his wife and son and they help get him back to health and he thinks Robyn is up to no good. He is a hotshot in the music industry but keeps it a secret from everyone and is eventually found out. There is one hot and steamy love scene that could have been handled a little more tastefully, but that's me.

Return to Summer Island by Christina Skye is a great read that I could not put down. I've found Skye to be my second favorite romance writer. This story finds the heroine coming to grips with her inability to knit after a devastating car accident. Caro McNeal moves home with her grandmother who raised her and finds healing through Grandma's support, an unquenchable desire to knit again and through her letters to a marine in Afghanistan.
