2020 revised and expanded edition of Neanderthal Seeks Human and Neanderthal Marries Human from the Knitting in the City Series

Neanderthal Seeks Human, Book 1 in the Knitting in the City Series

There are three things you need to know about Janie Morris: 1) She is incapable of engaging in a conversation without volunteering TMTI (Too Much Trivial Information), especially when she is unnerved, 2) No one unnerves her more than Quinn Sullivan, and 3) She doesn't know how to knit.

After losing her boyfriend, apartment, and job in the same day, Janie Morris can't help wondering what new torment fate has in store.

To her utter mortification, Quinn Sullivan - aka Sir McHotpants - witnesses it all then keeps turning up like a pair of shoes you lust after but can't afford. The last thing she expects is for Quinn to make her an offer she can't refuse.

New York Times best-selling author Penny Reid’s debut novel!

Neanderthal Seeks Human is book 1 one in the Knitting in the City series. Each book is a standalone, contemporary romantic comedy novel, and follows the misadventures and exploits of seven friends in Chicago, all members of the same knitting group.

Neanderthal Marries Human, Book 1.5 in the Knitting in the City Series

There are three things you should know about Quinn Sullivan: 1) He is madly in love with Janie Morris, 2) He’s not above playing dirty to get what (or who) he wants, and 3) He doesn’t know how to knit.

After just five months of dating Janie, Quinn - former Wendell and unapologetic autocrat - is ready to propose marriage. In fact, he’s more than ready. If it were up to Quinn, he would efficiently propose, marry, and beget Janie with child all in the same day - thereby avoiding the drama and angst that accompanies the four stages of pre-matrimony: Engagement, meeting the parents, bachelor/bachelorette party, and overblown, superfluous wedding day traditions.

But Janie, much to Quinn’s dismay, tosses a wrench in his efficacious endeavors and challenges him to prove his devotion by going through the matrimonial motions, no matter how minute and mundane.

Will Quinn last until the wedding day? Or will he yield to his tyrant impulses?

This book is not a standalone. It is the sequel to Neanderthal Seeks Human, and is book #1.5 in the Knitting in the City series.

“Neanderthal seeks Human" (knitting 1) by Penny Reid-5

First of all, I just LOVED the author's dedication, something I normally skim over. It gave a good indication of the style of book to come in the next pages. I was immediately captivated by Janie, who is hilariously bizarre. Her inner dialogues and off-the-wall tangents are a hoot! I had to reread the first chapter because it was so funny. Actually, I reread most of the book because I was so entertained by the interactions between Quinn and Janie. In addition, I loved learning about all the trivia Janie spouted uncontrollably. A brilliantly good read!! I did not want this book to end.
Penny Reid is a new author for me and now, a favourite.

Reread this book 3 years after the first time in 2017 and loved it just as much! Sheer brilliance!

“Neanderthal marries Human" (knitting 1.5) by Penny Reid-5

I didn’t think it was possible to love Janie and Quinn even more in this book. I loved how considerate they were of each other. I also loved how every so often, we got a chapter with Quinn’s POV. It’s a nice change to have the guy ALSO be insecure about things. I also love the length of the novel as there’s enough time to really get to know the characters; there’s enough trials and tribulations. Sometimes novels can be too short.

Janie just becomes more and more adorable while Quinn’s power of observation of Janie makes his love for her shine through. I LOVE Janie’s random facts and trivia! I’ve learnt so much and have done a lot of side learning.

Penny Reid is becoming one of my favourite authors. This box set had everything I love in a book and storyline. This really could have been a five star rating but I am big on details. In other words, who ever read this book before final print should have noticed that the text message from Mchotpants said Friday June 13 then Wednesday June 14... clearly that should be Saturday

Yummy, quirky, funny love.

I want to be Janie's friend too. She's a feisty, generous soul who helps others see the world from a different perspective and, just by standing by them blurting out well-researched trivia, brings out the best in others. Yet, her multi-faceted character also evolves as she struggles with the challenges of an emotionally reserved love interest, the tragedy of dysfunctional family relations and internal doubts. Definitely a good read with generous doses of monogamous sex. Thanks for the "What happened in Vegas missing scene" bonus - a quick and insightful Janie perspective on the old adage, "You can choose your friends but, not your family."

Fun and quirky characters

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on March 6, 2020

I'm a fan of all that I've read from Penny Reid so far but it's true to say I've started with her latest works and now I'm going back to the beginning. This book was enchanting in the awkwardness of the heroine Janie. Janie is super intelligent but with serious social awkwardness, not lacking in confidence but lacking a filter. The book starts with a catastrophic day for Janie. The hero Sir Handsome McHotpants (aka Quinn) is described most wonderfully that I believed in his hot-pantedness. Quinn witnesses Janie's bad day but you have a feeling he's a good guy behind the blank facade.

The humour in this book was it's strongest point. Knitting as you might imagine from the series title was a side backdrop to the story. Janie had the best knitting friends! The romance was intense, full of chemistry, light on description. This is the start of a great series, I can just feel it. The fact that I have so many books to go at fills me with excitement and I'm looking forward to more of Quinn and Janie in the next book.

Sexed up!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on March 1, 2020

I read both these stories when they were first published and enjoyed them. At that time, the sex scenes were fade to black but as Penny Reid's writing career has advanced she has started to write sex scenes into her novels so as these books have now been updated, they now contain sex scenes! Do they enhance the story? No, not in my opinion.

Janie and Quinn have great chemistry and you can feel them fall in love. It's a sweet love story and a good introduction to the Knitting in the City series of books of which I recommend.

Fun and great dialogue

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on March 9, 2020

I really enjoyed these. The books are mostly written from one point of view, the female lead. She is, in her own words, 'weird' and, yes, she is. She has serious quirks, her thinking is not 'normal' and she navigates the world by analysis. I love her! You can see things in the scenes that she just CAN'T and also understand why she can't. She is direct, blunt, and funny. The books are not just predictable romance, and I enjoyed them a lot for that. Well written, and believable. Some sexy scenes but not too graphic, overall well written and enjoyable.

Discovered my inner nerd

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on January 7, 2015

I absolutely loved this box set. Loved it loved it loved it.I've been intending to read this for ages but the price put me off now I'm gutted I left it for so long.

Clever, witty, romantic, laugh out loud funny with original characters and an engaging story line. I even learned a few new facts that I will be attempting to crowbar into conversations in coming days. People will probably think I'm right clever.

Janie is a true eccentric, rather socially awkward and an unapologetic nerd. I want to be her best friend. Quinn meanwhile is a successful businessman but socially introverted with a permanently inscrutable expression. Kind of all strong and silent but with eyes that burn whenever Janie turns him on - this happens lots. Got to love a strong, silent, alpha protector but this one *whispers* speaks in full sentences...

Their romance is an absolute belly tingling delight to enjoy.This couple has fabulous chemistry and even though the smut is PG, it doesn't matter, I didn't miss it. I know, I was amazed as well, but when a story is this engaging, the chemistry and suggestion of smut is enough.

I loved the secondary characters too, the scenes involving her knitting group buddies and even Quinn's scenes with his best buddy Dan made me feel all warm and glowy. All was well in my world reading this, it was pure contented escapism.

This is a complete story but there are others in the series with recurring characters. I read Love Hacked from this series last year and loved it so I can't wait to read the rest of this series.

Just brilliant. Highly recommended.

Must read boxset!!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on January 23, 2015

Im part chuffed to bits, part bloody annoyed!!, why?, cause I'm a complete idiot!, I read the first book in this series ages ago, I liked it, but that was it, then I got recommended the rest of the series much later so I read them and totally fell in love, however I missed a book out, Neanderthal marries human, so when this box-set became available I jumped at the chance to re-read and then jump straight into NMH. In my defence it's all Quinn's fault, he's an alpha über rich moody guy and I just couldn't warm to him but in this book I get him now!, his history, his relationship with his parents and his sister, the camaraderie he has with Dan, Dan the security man (love him) was wonderful. funny in parts and a joy to read. But ultimately it's his undying, heart melting gives you the warm and fuzzies love he has for his Janie that was the clincher for me, Quinn your alright..., also I will say Janie friends, Sandra, Elizabeth, Ashley, Kat, Marie and Fiona, or I should say family because that's what they are are a hilarious, big hearted and a totally awesome bunch and are pretty nifty with the knitting needles too. I'm just happy i have gotten the opportunity to read about them and cannot wait to read more in the future. Ms Penny you done good.
