About This Audiobook

Close Knit is a delightful blend of sports drama and heartwarming romance, with a twist of humor that'll keep you guessing. Denise Stone's signature wit is on full display as she weaves together the unlikely love story of brooding Premier League goalkeeper, Ethan, and radiant knitting influencer, Holly. What sets this audiobook apart is its unique premise, offering a fresh take on the grumpy/sunshine trope. CJ Bloom and Jason Clarke's dual narration brings Ethan and Holly's chemistry to life, with Bloom's warm, engaging voice capturing Holly's effervescent spirit, and Clarke's deep, resonant tone perfectly embodying Ethan's gruff exterior.

Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

I was hooked from the moment Ethan's scowl met Holly's smile. The banter between these two is electric, and the narration duo of CJ Bloom and Jason Clarke delivers it with such finesse that you can't help but be drawn into their world. The pacing is spot on, balancing the tension of Ethan's career with the sweetness of his relationship with Holly. The only critique I have is that I wish we'd seen more of Ethan's growth off the field, but that's a minor quibble in an otherwise engaging listen. The production quality is excellent, with clear audio and no distractions. Close Knit is a must-listen for romance fans looking for a unique, engaging story that'll leave you with a smile on your face.
