Knit Quick is another lovely short in Albert's Portland Heat series.
This one takes a glimpse into the lives of Ev and Brady from Knit Tight. They are now married and settled in their coupledom, living above Ev's yarn shop with Brady's kid siblings in tow.
This shorty follows the lead up to Valentine's Day and highlights the everyday obligations and stresses both men face together. Add to that, Brady is also looking into starting his own coffee cart business, with the guidance of Robby from book one.
There are also a smattering of sexy and deliciously (light) kinky moments to top off this sweet little short story.
Knit Quick is a must-read for all fans of the Portland Heat series.

Ev and Brady aren't my favorite couple of the series, but I liked this kinky, feel good story.
Making compromises, supporting each other: that's what being a family is all about.
I have no doubt Brady will rock his new coffee cart.
So much sweetness AND a dog named Apricot. WIN.

A charming little bit from Albert's world. I love the way she's able to establish her characters and set up the situation so quickly. A light, quick read that was very enjoyable.

Liked the resolution more than the lead-up and all the drama between it. I did love being back with the kids, though.

This was a sweet short story that shows Brady and Ev a few years down the road as they raise their little family and try to make some big decisions for the future. It had a lot of story, a lot of emotion and even some smutty times all wrapped up in just a few pages. I enjoyed it a lot.
**This is not a stand alone. You should not read if you haven't read Knit Tight yet.**

I was afraid that Valentine's day would be a bit cliché, but Albert proved me wrong. Almost everything that could have gone wrong went wrong, but the MC's still managed to take my breath away with being cute, talking about their problems and having hot sex. And I'm so glad that they worked out Ev's insecurity about not being good enough for kids and Brady's work situation - seriously, no matter the promotion, he was far too good for Randy. And the dog <3

Knit Quick gave us a peek into Ev and Brady's life after the I Dos are said. Ev and Brady had a differing sexual dynamic, and they have made it work for them and are building a life together. Love is knitted into the fabric of their lives and the decisions they make.

Relectura 2021: Una historia corta que nos muestra un poco del futuro de Ev y Brady. Me ha gustado: tiene un poco de sexo, de cómo ser una familia y de ayudarse el uno al otro sin esperar nada más que que el otro esté mejor.

I really need to read all these series. The shorts are just perfect. I love them. I love that this one shows the work of marriage. The ups, downs, fears and all.

A perfect addition to this series - just the "extra" that Knit Tight needed.

A sweet and lightly kinky look at Ev and Brady making their family work, strengthening bonds, and planning for the future.

Living together as a family, Brady and Ev have a lot to deal with, as they say "never a dull moment", even on Valentine's when they have so many plans in mind.
They both share insecurities about the family they formed together. Ev hoping to keep this wonderful gift of Brady and his siblings - have a family of his own, and Brady scared to dream big of owning a coffee cart (like Robby from "Served Hot" the 1st installment). He has the best offer but it's a big step and he needs to be sure it's the right decision for both of them (rather the WHOLE family).
In the end, after a kinky sexy session (they excel at), they realize exactly how they can make each other more secure and happy together.

I love that in this short story we get Ev's pov, which is something that is lacking from their main story. A quick catch-up that takes place at some point after the 'I do's, that shows how they are all adapting to life together. Helps understand Ev's character a bit more.
We get family drama, a career change, even more commitment, sexy times, and 'I love you's, all in a 10k story. A remarkable feat. It almost feels like I've read a whole novel.
Perfect follow up.

Historia corta sobre Ev y Brady. Aunque no son mi pareja favorita, me ha gustado mucho ya que muestra parte de su vida en familia y la relación de pareja mucho más nivelada y equilibrada. Los dos tienen el mismo nivel de compromiso. Me hubiese gustado ver un poco más de esto en el cuarto libro de la saga, Knit Tight.

I received this through the instafreebie program. I went back and reread 'Knit Tight' so I had the characters and flow of the story in mind before starting. I'm so glad I did. The build up to Ev and Brady's life together was perfect and made this short story so much more meaningful. A great lesson in trust, communication and the importance of family and joint decision making. In and out of the bedroom!
A perfect addition to the Portland Heat series!

I received a free copy of this book from instafreebie.com.
A short and sweet story. It's been awhile since I read the first story with Ev and Brady, but I was able to catch up. It also made me want to get back into my knitting.

I always feel like it's cheating to log these shorts as books, but also Albert has a ton of them on her website and I'll never remember which I read without doing so. The story itself was fine, but doesn't really add anything to the original book.

short and oh so sweet. Evren is such a unique character , down to his manner of speaking. And the dog and the kids are realistic and lively. Brady is a bit pale in comparison in this one, but, never mind, the two guys are a lovely couple.

I enjoyed seeing Brady and Evren from KNIT TIGHT again and seeing how much of a family they've become with Brady's younger siblings. Their book was a bit turbulent so it was nice to see them so settled.

cute quick read

I loved catching up on Brady and Ev. Also, we got a little tidbit on other much loved couples. Having Robbie help Brady get his own coffee cart was brilliant. Can't wait to see what's next for the men of Portland.

Not my favorite Portland Heat couple, but fun to catch up with them during an important moment in their relationship.
