    About this ebook

    What do a cynical former Marine and a sheltered former Olympic contender have in common?
    Nothing.
    Absolutely nothing.
    He has a girlfriend and she’s never been kissed.
    He’s sullenly sarcastic and she’s earnestly empathetic.
    He can’t stop thinking about her.
    She knows she should keep her distance.
    Nevertheless, when opposites attract the results may be unexpected, but they’re also undeniably magnetic.

    Ninja at First Sight is book #4.75 in the Knitting in the City series. It is a standalone, contemporary romantic comedy prequel novella (40k words) to ‘Happily Ever Ninja’ book #5 in the Knitting in the City series.

      Reading my way through this wonderful series and I was brought up short at book 5 to find I needed to go back and grab this prequel to Fiona and Greg's story. I'm glad I did because this is a sweet story that gives much more insight into the couple. Fiona and Greg live in the same dorm, but he has a girlfriend and she is basically a hermit. Still, there's an attraction between them despite their differences. It's a nice story and adds a lot to the backstory for Fiona and Greg who are a married couple in the Knitting in the City series. It also explains a lot about who they are and why, especially Greg. I don't think it was necessary to read for the rest of the series, but it's still a fine story.
    • 5/5
      1) If you love to get the background on characters you adore 2) Will read anything that Penny Reid writes 3) Need a story to make you giggle and swoon - stop do not go to item number 4 and one click this gem of a novella.

      Novellas are often hard to review. Depending upon their purpose a) intro to a series b) an origin story or c) a complete story in short form. Well, this one delivers on a through c. Okay, well not really a because Greg and Fiona are introduced in the earlier Knitting in the City books. But this is their story - actually - their origin. And I love it. It funny, touching, and well written- well paced story. I'm not going to rehash the story as it is a quick read. But there isn't anything I can say I didn't like because I loved it. You really get a deep feeling about what the characters are about and can instantly connect to both. But I will tell you, Greg is going to give Alex a run for his money as my favorite Ms Reid hero as I progress to Happily Ever Ninja when it releases in January.

      Interestingly, you can read this novella as a standalone. It's a complete story all on it's own. You don't need to read the others in the series in order to understand the characters or plot line. And she ends the novella right where I love most of my romance to end - HEA. However, if you haven't read Ms Reid before, this is a great intro to her humorous style. If you love Ms. Reid, you won't be disappointed. 5 of 5 ninja stars.

      penny does it again! this is one amazing book. I just preordered my copy for "Happily ever ninja" I can't count the days fast enough
    • 5/5
      Sweet college romance, with some great aha moments. I swear I'm using some of the lines from this one my fav snarky one " not tonight I have to give my fish a bath" Greg is an intelligent man who questions the world and Fiona is ready to challange his views. She is virginal, he is well practiced, instead of rushing to 3rd base he takes time to get to know her. It's a wonderful slow romance with some thought provoking questions. I loved the ending, way to end with a BANG Ms. Reid.I normally don't care for novellas but from this author they are not to be missed.
