HOW TO KNIT A HEART BACK HOME
Author: Rachael Herron ISBN: 9780061841316 3/2011 CONTEMPORARY Publisher: WILLIAM MORROW
Lucy Harrison sells books by day and volunteers with the Cypress Hollow fire department by night. Her life is just the way she likes it—full, even-keeled, and smooth—until bad-boy ex-cop Owen Bancroft comes back to town. Lucy has always been fearless, never scared about diving in to help others. When it comes to risking her heart, however, she realizes she's absolutely terrified.
In a small town like Cypress Hollow, everyone knows your business—and there is nowhere to hide. Then Lucy and Owen are thrown together by the discovery of the lost work of local legend, knitting guru Eliza Carpenter. Now Owen, adrift and struggling to redefine himself as a civilian without a badge, will have to learn how to open himself up to life's new possibilities . . . while Lucy decides just how much of herself she's willing to gamble on love.

 RRAH's THOUGHTS AND PONDERINGS: 
HOW TO KNIT A HEART BACK HOME starts off with a bang and is completely engaging, straight from the very first page!
Lucy is pulled into a rescue mission by a man who looks familiar. When she realizes Owen is back in town, and looking as good as ever, she can't help but be intrigued. And when he needs an apartment, and she conveniently has one available, things become even more interesting. This couple sizzles, and even though they end up on opposite sides of an emotional situation, they find a way to each other. I especially enjoyed a scene where they come clean—in more than one way. It is romantic and sexy and made me sigh. Really, I sighed as she stared at the flickering candlelight.
Wonderfully romantic, this is a book worth passing on to someone special, like a mother or sister. Or best friend. It will be enjoyed, and you will be thanked. And, an added bonus is the knitting pattern included in the book! I plan to give that a try, as well.
