Knitter in His Natural Habitat by Amy Lane

Craw and his boyfriend, Ben also add some interesting spice to Stanley and Johnny's love story. Secondary characters such as chunky Alice, the owner of the yarn shop, her daughter, Candace, and the very pregnant, hospital bed-confined Ariadne are all strong characters who lend their own flavor to the story. The characterizations in A Knitter in His Habitat are good. She has a clear writing voice and excellent style. I can see the pole-axed expression on his face when he first lays eyes on Johnny. I can almost envision Stanley puttering around the yarn shop telling his customers about the different types of yarn available. Lane tells great stories and this is no exception. A Knitter in His Habitat is not angst-filled the book has some tense moments, but this is light fare for Lane. Her best stories are full of emotional angst and sometimes physical pain.

If you've read any of Lane's books in the past then you know that she is a great writer. Stanley is working in a yarn shop, Ewe'll Love This- not exactly a hot-bed of gay romance and while he used to play the gay scene in Boulder that's starting to get old. Winner in the 2013 Rainbow Awards.Second (tie): Best LGBT Cover - Design … ( altro)Ī Knitter in His Habitat by Amy Lane is a romance novel that details Stanley Schulze's search for love after his friend and part-time hook-up, Craw finds the love of his life. When Johnny's dark past comes back to haunt them, Stanley realizes how much he loves his cushy life in the yarn store-but he'll give it all up to keep the man who makes his ordinary life extraordinary. Johnny is like no one Stanley has ever met: he doesn't believe in quickies in the bathroom and has a soft spot for theater and opera. Just when he does, Johnny, the store's new delivery boy, walks in. Stitch by stitch, he knits his life into something meaningful.

Then Stanley does a peculiar thing: he starts to live the life he fell into. He needs to reevaluate whether working as a floor designer for a series of craft stores is really where he wants to be.

The closest thing he's had to a relationship breaks things off to date a 'nice boy,' and none of the pretty young things in Boulder's limited gay scene do it for Stanley. A Granby Knitting Novella Stanley's life took a left turn at a knitting shop and hit a dead end.
