My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Crafting Love is the first novel in the Wine and Furniture series by A. E. Gamrat. This is my first novel by this author.

Kelly is a small town girl who works who two other women, Delilah and Daisy. Kelly also has a Youtube channel with a few thousand followers. Kelly is the type of woman who prefers to stay busy.

One night, Kelly goes to karaoke and meets Kirk. While there is an instantly attraction, Kelly is apprehensive about a relationship because of a previous relationship in the past.

Kirk moves in with his cousin for a fresh start and instantly falls in love with Kelly. But both are hiding secrets of their own. Will the secrets tear them apart before they even have a chance to get together?

I really enjoyed this story. It was cute, funny and relatable. I love the cover and the premise caught my attention.

I enjoy the progress of Kelly and Kirk’s relationship from being friend to slow becoming more.

I noticed that this is a series and look forward to reading the next book.

Crafting Love was a good 4 star read and the first book in the Wine & Furniture series.

Kelly loves living in a small town. She is happy with all aspects of her life. While out with friends she meets Kirk. Kelly had pretty much given up on having love in her life, that is until Kirk. Kirk was great, he was perfect for Kelly.

Can they have a HEA?

Kirk offers to help Kelly with some things around her house. The more time he spends with her the closer they start to get. You can feel their connection coming off the pages.
I really loved all of the secondary characters. A.E. Gamrat does a great job of pulling you with her writing, I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.

This book about Kelly and Kirk had “all the feels” for me. Hands down, I was immediately invested in what happened to the main characters and found myself engrossed in every page. I simply adored the quirks each character had. It was just a solid book, very well written, and very enjoyable way to pass the time.

Crafting Love (Wine & Furniture Series Book 1) by A.E. Gamrat is a well written romance story and a great read. The characters were enjoyable, well mostly, Grace us the friend and she annoyed me but I loved Kelly the main character. The book is quick and enjoyable read and readily drew me in.

Kelly loves the small town in which she lives and her job. She has the best friends and she loves her circuit. She is however lonely. She has given up on love but one night out may change her life.

I am excited to see where A.E. will take us with the next book.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A couple of things happened as I read this book…
1. I want to create my own furniture
2. I’m glad I am still in touch with my “friend since the womb”
3. I really really want a Cricut(tm) machine of my own
4. Regarding 1&3 I always start strong with new adventures, but rarely finish so I will stick to reading about them 🙂

On to the review…

Quick character development. Strong female characters. Great friendships (even when they are annoying). Handy men who are handy. This book was a quick read that held my attention from beginning to end.

With the great world building in this story, I am looking forward to the next in the series.

Crafting Love
By A.E. Gamrat
Rated 5 stars!!

I just want to say this is a slow clean story. If that’s not your thing…please read on. If it is…please read on! This is full of sweet romance. Not only that but this also tell the story of amazing friendships. I will say that I had tears in my eyes a couple times. Yes there are obstacles in this but mostly it’s about the lovely relationships that the MC has. The girlfriends…the brothers and the new guy. It’s about life and living it on your terms.

I usually don’t care all that much for a slow romance. I actually tend to skip over paragraphs while reading. This one I did not do that. I actually LOVE this guy! Well this slow romance. He is so thoughtful and kind and nice! I love how he always wants to be touching her, kissing her on the head or neck and those SLAPS on the behind!! That makes him sooo SEXY! I loved reading Chapter 13…..(Kirk’s chapter). Getting his thoughts on some things and his feelings was nice. I wanted to highlight most of that chapter!

Her friends…I LOVED as well! That Grant! Not to mention Grace and the Wine Girls! They were all adorable and really helped move this story along. The writing was smooth as I had questions about a few things but they were answered as the story moved along. Obviously I loved all the characters. Such a great story!

Turning 30 has never been so fun!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Crafting Love by A E Gamrat is the first book in the Wine & Furniture series. This is a new to me author and I didn’t know what to expect. I throughly enjoyed this book. It was well written and had a great plot. The characters were all great and there was only one I really didn’t like and it was totally justified.

Kelly and Kirk so deserve to be happy. They have both been hurt in the past and have a hard time with trust. There were several parts I liked but I think her birthday party was probably my favorite of all.

I plan on keeping up with this series, I need to know what happens with not only Kelly and Kirk but Grace and Grant.

My rating: 5 out of 5 stars

This book was such a sweet story. First I loved how the main character of Kelly was into crafting, it was refreshing to see something new regarding the jobs of the characters. Second I loved that the story was filled with drama, romance and laughter.

Kelly is such a great character. She is a strong, independent and hard working woman. She loves her life even though she is constantly busy and she loves her friends and family. When she meets Kirk she instantly feels a connection with him, but due to a bad previous relationship she is very wary and will not tolerate any lying. Kirk is a wonderful, he has moved in with his cousin Grant due to some issues back in his hometown and is just looking to settle down and live a quiet life with no drama. When he meets Kelly, the same thing goes through his mind, he feels a connections with her and instantly falls in love.

Both Kelly and Kirk are honest and open with each other but both have secrets about their pasts that they are not openly ready to share. When a terrible girl, Sonnie, calls Kirk out at Kelly’s 30th birthday, the secrets all come to light and both characters need to work out if they think they can truly make a relationship between them work.

The secondary characters are amazing as well. Grace is Kelly’s best friend since preschool, they have been through a lot together but she sometimes gets on my nerves. It seems as though she can’t seem to see the evil in certain people, and takes some of her anger out on Kelly, which is uncalled for. Grant is Grace’s boyfriend and Kirk’s cousin. He has pretty much adopted Kelly into his life as his sister and their relationship is solid. Daisy and Delilah are Kelly’s bosses at work and provide much need comic relief, and seem like such sweet people to know. I would highly recommend this book!

This was a great novel it completely drew me in right from the first page I just couldn’t set it down. I enjoyed the quirky, creative storyline but with alot of depth and emotions running through the pages also. I was captivated by the words and I felt like I was there along side the character’s, it really took me away from reality while reading this novel I highly enjoyed it and I certainly can’t wait to read more from this author.

Crafting Love is the first book in the Wine & Furniture Series by A. E. Gamrat. This is first book I have read by A. E. Gamrat and I enjoyed her writing style. The book is a simple story that makes you feel like you are in the story with the characters. Even though I am not a fan of wine, but I think I could start drinking it now. The story is a story of Kelly and Kirk. Kelly is a lonely young woman who works for her friends in the wine and furniture store. She doesn’t like to be alone and she keeps busy at night. Until she met Kirk, who just happens to be a hottie handyman. Kelly has a lot going on in her life but cannot ignore feelings that are coming to the surface. Will there be a relationship formed? Will others accept the relationship or will there be people who do not want Kelly want her to be with Kirk?

Crafting Love is the first book in the Wine and Furniture series by A. E. Gamrat. This wonderfully written romance was a great read and I loved each and every character that was introduced in this book. I loved that the book drew me in and I was able to finish the book in one day.

She is attracted to him right away and then when he offers to help her fix her basement, a friend forms between them both.
Kelly and Kirk drew me into the story, but the other characters pulled me into the series and I am excited to see where this goes. I give this this book 5 stars and cant wait to read more in the series.

Crafting Love was another very enjoyable read by an author who I really love! I definitely think that this is my favourite story by this author so far, I instantly fell in love with the characters and the storyline was so refreshing to read. I really liked how easy it was to connect with Kelly; she had such a realistic feel about her and I kind of felt like I knew her in a strange way. I’ve got to be honest who wouldn’t want a Kirk in their life! He was just the best! I loved everything about him! I thought that Kelly and Kirk made the cutest couple ever! I was rooting for them the whole way through!
I am really looking forward to seeing what is to come from this series – I am sure that it is going to be one to read!
Crafting Love was a really sweet and entertaining read and one that I highly recommend! I enjoyed every minute of it!

The story Crafting Love (Wine & Furniture Series Book 1) by A.E. Gamrat is a wonderful book that I enjoyed reading. The story drew me in and I didn’t want to put it down until I had finished the final page. I loved reading about Kelly and Kirk. She is a strong and independent woman. She is someone who loves to stay busy so her full-time job and her crafting allow her to do just that. She does sometimes feel lonely. Little does she realize that one night out will change things for her. That is when she meets Kirk. There is an attraction between them, a connection. He is protective of her. What does the future hold for Kelly and Kirk? Read this book to find out. I enjoyed reading about the bantering that goes back and forth between Kelly and Kirk. I also enjoyed reading about the other characters in the story and how they interacted with Kelly. Kelly is a character that is likable and the type of person I would wish for as a friend. This is a story I would highly recommend reading.

Crafting Love is the first Book in the Wine & Furniture series. I loved this wonderfully written Book I couldn’t put it down once I started reading. This is not my first read by this author and most definitely won’t be my last. Kelly is a woman who is turning thirty and has pretty much given up on love that is for the time being. What happens after one night of karaoke ? Find out what happens next in this fun and quirky story.What happens with Kirk and Kelly. I highly recommend this book .I look forward to reading more from this author .

This seems it will be such a great new series. This first book packs a ton of information but done very well as I didn’t feel overwhelmed with it all.
Kelly is fine doing what she’s doing day in and day out, except when it hits her how lonely she feels. Her best friend just doesn’t understand her passion and tries to get her out of the house, and one night she does just that and in comes Kirk.
Kirk, oh how I wish we had more from his side than the little we got.
This was such a great story and what a great group this shows and hope we see more very soon!

Crafting Love by A. E. Gamrat is the first book in the Wine & Furniture series. I was drawn in by the crafting portion but really enjoyed not only that aspect but the characters and story as well. Kelly and the ladies are great and I love the fact of them coming together to create a business using their various skills. Kirk is sweet and works his way to Kelly and her heart.
The story is fun and has a good dialogue. I like the setting and how it worked with the overall story and characters. I enjoyed the story and look forward to reading more in this series.

I Loved Kelly, I connected with her for some reason and felt like I knew her and she was one of my best friends…This is not my first book by this author and also will not be my last, I truly enjoyed this story. The friendships that were kind of fun and also at the same time kind of aggravating were just one part of this story I loved the most.

I want to work at the Wine and Furniture store, actually I want to own it and run it exactly as it was in this book with Delilah and Daisy running it for me…This was an awesome story and this is officially my favorite read by this author yet. Every girl should have their own leaky basement and a Kirk who remedies the situation. I loved this relationship and how it formed and grew and even though there were hurdles along the way and issues that are always bothersome with people getting in the way or inner feelings that make things more complicated than they should be this was well written and had me hooked from page 1 and I read it in one sitting and didn’t want it to end..I can not wait to see where this author takes this series next.

I highly recommend this book and also this author.

Loved it!!!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Crafting Love is the first book in A.E. Gamrat’s new series called Wine & Furniture. The series has gotten its name from the store that was the turning point in the main character’s life. It is not the first book I have read by this writer and I was hoping for more of her quirky writing style when I picked up this one and she did not disappoint me! (I have to confess that I had no idea what a Cricut is so before I started reading the book I went and watched couple of YouTube videos!)
We have Kelly who is turning thirty and has more or less given up on love, for time being … she has crazy friends though who will not let her stay hidden at home midst her Cricut and YouTube channel followers … it takes only one Karaoke night and her life takes a turn to … interesting … enters Kirk, a younger man with great hands …
The writer has given us a story that doesn’t only keep us entertained but also asks us to look a bit deeper into ourselves … turning older, disappointing relationships, finding one’s passion, age difference etc. I have great hopes for the next book in the series, I wonder who is the lead in it and what kind of a rollercoaster we will end up being on …

This is not my first book by this author but it is my favorite of all hers yet. I enjoyed how I was pulled into this book right from the beginning and it held my attention to the end. This is about Kelly and Kirk. She is a little quirky and it is love at first site with Kirk. She doesn’t realize how one night can change everything for her until now. Supportive man, growing relationship, annoying friends, what will happen? I highly recommend this book.

I, Kelly, am a small-town girl and love my small-town world. I get to work with two amazing, entrepreneur women. One makes wine, the other makes furniture, and I help to sell it all. On a sad, lonely night I bought myself a Cricut machine and haven’t looked back. Now people call me the Cricut Queen. I even have a YouTube channel with a few thousand followers. Some friends and family can’t grasp my need to stay busy. Nights can be very lonely and quiet.
A night of Karaoke changes everything.
Kirk draws me in at hello and I don’t want to look away. He’s everything a girl could want. Nice, funny, could dance alongside the boys in Magic Mike. Yes, that hot. He is also very good with his hands and offers to help fix my leaking basement with his cousin. A friendship is born.
Love is a touchy subject, but a relationship can’t be ignored.
Between my crazy girlfriends, a budding relationship, and a jealous woman, this decade is starting off on a wild ride. The real question is: who will make it to the end?

~ AMAZON ~

Growing up writing was second nature that soon become a distant memory. Turning 30 (not saying when) that memory was going to be brought back to life. Lover of all books I try to grab my audience in and never let go. Hoping to get all these thoughts and ideas down for everyone to enjoy, even if it’s a moment or a life time.
This is the new chapter of my life story. Hope everyone enjoys!
