The Winter Courtship Rituals of Fur-Bearing Critters

Granby Knitting, Book 1

De: Amy Lane

Narrado por: Philip Alces

Rance Crawford is an alpaca rancher, fiber mill owner, and self-proclaimed grumpy bastard. When sweet, charming tenderfoot Ben McCutcheon moves onto Crawford's rural road, Rance is very aware that Ben makes it a grand total of two gay men in their tiny town, and even though he is instantly, painfully smitten, any move he makes could be simply chalked up to being hard up. Using his best weapon and favorite skill, Crawford launches an awkward, wordless effort to make sure Ben is kept warm during the cold Colorado winter, every last piece of him - especially his heart.

Wonderful

What a heartwarming story, I simply loved listening to this audio. Range and Ben are a cute couple.

Absolutely Wonderful!

Any additional comments?

Rance Crawford is an alpaca and sheep rancher, owns a fiber mill, does most of his own spinning along with his best friend (the appropriated named) Ariadne, and has the social skills of an amoeba. I loved this character so much it's not even funny.

When charming and socially adept Ben McCutcheon inherits his great-aunt's property next door, Rance is suddenly floored by this vibrant and beautiful man. So much so that he immediately moves out of his comfort zone to woo Ben. With his knitting.

I'll tell you this book made me want to learn how to knit. Even though it hasn't got a lot of steam at first, the UST is there, and the steams builds until it finally explodes. Deliciously so.

Full of feel good moments and low on angst I absolutely LOVED this story.

More than that though, I ADORED the narration by Philip Alces. I've never listened to him before, but WOW was I impressed. I loved everything from start to finish and wouldn't change a thing.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Querky romance for a great series starter.

Cute start to a series that gets even better.
Although this story seems to stop short at the end, have no worries the series continues with all the characters getting involved.

So adorable, so cute!

You know how at the end of the audiobook, they say, we hope you enjoyed this book?Well, I enjoyed the hell out this book! It was so adorable from the knitting curmudgeon with a heart of good and a rough attitude, to the sweet, not-so-innocent city boy who steals said grumpy grump's heart with his smiles. So humorous, the story has a streak of pure, almost virginal hope for love, and Craw takes his sweet time carefully courting the curious tender creature that has him all tangled up inside. The performer had the sexiest, grittiest voice, just perfect for Craw and his grouchness, and each character was recognizable. Very much fun!

Short but Sweet

A short sweet novella about finding love next door. I’m a sucker for the grumpy, stand-offish guy finding love with the sunshine, happy one. I quite enjoyed the story, but I wished it was a little longer so I could really enjoy the relationship between Rance Crawford and Ben McCutcheon.

So Cute!!!

I'll have to send this one on to all of my knitting friends. A truly sweet story. I LOVE curmugeons! Rance is wonderful and Ben is just right for him.

Grumpy 30 something meets charming 20 something ❤️

The feels are real!! Loved the slow burning romance and the gruff grumpy old man. Honestly, he seemed more like a 50 something but that added to his charm. Highly recommend if you want to be charmed with knitting and angst .

Super Sweet Story

Super cute story, my favorite kind of Amy Lane :) and almost makes me long for winter.
This is my first experience with narrator Philip Alces and his voice is just ideal for these characters.

Adorable! I want winter wear now!

Sweet, adorable, tender. I loved it! I was part of my romance package but I would have chosen it anyway!
