Short and sweet! ( )

Kneading You is the first story in, ‘A Lancaster Story’ series. It stars Christopher Hughes, and Miles Sakasai, a repairman. The story is told in first person from Christopher’s pov.

The plot is simple. Christopher is new in Lancaster. Lancaster is a small town and Christopher has only been able to find low level jobs. When the librarian position at the old library opens up, he jumps on it. Problem is, there isn’t much funding and someone has plans to tear it down and turn the location into a mall. With the help of Miles, the handyman helping to restore the library, Christopher tries to save the place.

This book is a short story and the events happen quickly. I’d say the plot is more like basic notes with events jumping from one to the next with a bit of information to flesh them out. It’s a cute enough story that I wish it would’ve been longer. The author did a good job of creating characters that I could believe in as a couple despite the short length.

Christopher has an optimistic type of personality and he sees the potential in the library. Miles is quieter, and has many hidden talents besides being a handyman. He also has lots of tattoos which Christopher likes. Since the only pov we get is from Christopher, it’s more difficult to tell what kind of personality Miles has. The two men seem suited to each other though.

Kneading You is a quick, fluffy story, perfect to read when you want something light or to take a break after a longer book. I give it, 3 Stars. ( )
