Real Men Knit by Kwana Jackson

When Mama Joy died and left her adoptive sons to figure out her craft store.  The youngest son Jesse is a screwup but is the only one who doesn’t want to close the store.  He wants to continue his mother’s legacy.  He thinks the brothers can with the help of the part timer Kerry.  Kerry has loved Jesse forever but doesn’t think they can ever be together. 

This wasn’t a romance.  It was more like a fiction novel that throws in a romance.  There is also an information dump in the beginning that made me almost not finish.  It was a lot of information that wasn’t necessarily needed for the story to progress.  I also was not overly invested in their relationship it didn’t really work for me.  The playboy who has always loved her but can’t have her.  It didn’t work.  If he really loved her and wanted her he wouldn’t have continued to sleep around.  I will say that the writing was spot on.  It was well written the story just didn’t work for me.
