Things We Never Got Over, Knockemout #1 by Lucy Score

Hello lovely book readers,

I hope you're doing well on this fabulous Thursday! Or maybe you are reading this during your weekend because you want to have a new book added to that long TBR pile?

Anyways, I hope you'll enjoy this book review, it was about time to start this series, everyone is just posting about it on a daily, 24-hour basis.

"Listen to me Naomi. If that man isn't smart enough to recognise how amazingly intelligent and beautiful and kind and caring and wickedly awesome at board games you are, it's his loss. Which make him to simpleton. I forbid you to spend one second of your time overthinking this and coming to the false conclusion you're the one with the problem."

Bearded, bad-boy barber Knox prefers to live his life the way he takes his coffee: Alone. Unless you count his basset hound, Waylon.

Knox doesn’t tolerate drama, even when it comes in the form of a stranded runaway bride.

Naomi wasn’t just running away from her wedding. She was riding to the rescue of her estranged twin to Knockemout, Virginia, a rough-around-the-edges town where disputes are settled the old-fashioned way…with fists and beer. Usually in that order.

Too bad for Naomi her evil twin hasn’t changed at all. After helping herself to Naomi’s car and cash, Tina leaves her with something unexpected. The niece Naomi didn’t know she had. Now she’s stuck in town with no car, no job, no plan, and no home with an 11-year-old going on thirty to take care of.

There’s a reason Knox doesn’t do complications or high-maintenance women, especially not the romantic ones. But since Naomi’s life imploded right in front of him, the least he can do is help her out of her jam. And just as soon as she stops getting into new trouble he can leave her alone and get back to his peaceful, solitary life.

At least, that’s the plan until the trouble turns to real danger.

I gave this book a 4 star.

I really did enjoy reading this small town romance book.

Besides being it a small town, it's also a grumpy-sunshine novel. You see Naomi is such a sweet woman, kinda see myself in her and he gives her this cute nickname "Daisy" because of the daisies that were in her hair on the day she arrived into town.

And than he is so broody and grumpy and she just gets easily under his skin, but yet again he wants and needs to be close to her, but does not want to feel the feelings he is having.

I thought it was a good book and the tension building was amazing, but then the revelation came a bit too fast for me.

But I am planning to read it fully, and I'm talking about the series.

I hope you enjoyed this review!

Love, Manon
