Marriage of Inconvenience by Penny Reid

Marriage of Inconvenience (Knitting in the City, #7)

by Penny Reid

There are three things you need to know about Kat Tanner (aka Kathleen Tyson. . . and yes, she is *that* Kathleen Tyson): 1) She’s determined to make good decisions, 2) She must get married ASAP, and 3) She knows how to knit.

Being a billionaire heiress isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Determined to live a quiet life, Kat Tanner changed her identity years ago and eschewed her family’s legacy. But now, Kat’s silver spoon past has finally caught up with her, and so have her youthful mistakes.

To avoid imminent disaster, she must marry immediately; it is essential that the person she chooses have no romantic feelings for her whatsoever and be completely trustworthy. Fortunately, she knows exactly who to ask. Dan O’Malley checks all the boxes: single, romantically indifferent to her, completely trustworthy. Sure, she might have a wee little crush on Dan the Security Man, but with clear rules, expectations, and a legally binding contract, Kat is certain she can make it through this debacle with her sanity—and heart—all in one piece.

Except, what happens when Dan O’Malley isn’t as indifferent—or as trustworthy—as she thought?

“I want it all, Kit-Kat. I want all of you.”

I'm such a freaking broken record when it comes to Penny Reid because I pretty much adore everything she writes. Her books are oh so comfortable for me and her books have become comfort reads and I love that she NEVER dumbs it down. Thank the baby Jesus.

Now to be completely honest, I’ve hoarded the whole Knitting in the City series and I’ve read all but two plus a novella and I’m so freaking glad my time with the Knitting crew is not (completely) over.
I’ve read enough books to have wanted Dan and Kat’s book just as bad as everyone else.

Ever feel thankful for a book? Just completely grateful that an author poured her heart and soul onto paper, in the form of a book? That’s exactly how I felt while reading this book, it was in that moment, perfection.

Reid’s trademark humor, passion and absolutely incredible storytelling with a Penny Reid flair are all present and accounted for in Marriage of Inconvenience. I laughed my butt off so many times, I lost count. I also broke out into a sweat when Dan put on his charming pants, which, let’s face it, he wears them all the time. Kat’s arc of character growth is pretty big and was a pleasure to read. Plus the whole Knitting crew makes appearances and OMG that epilogue! Ms. Reid also throws in a nice bit of suspense plot and relocates to Boston for much of the book. While in Boston, we are introduced to and get to know Dan's family. Kat is very much in need of some kind of family support because hers is gone and what's left is undesirable. Seeing how Dan's mom supports Kat gave me all kinds of warm feelings.

If you’ve read all of the other books, I feel pretty sure that you’ll enjoy this one as well. For those that have not picked up the Knitting in The City series, what are you waiting for?
