It’s been too long since I’ve read a Lucy Score book. I laughed, I giggled, I swooned, I cried… all the feels in this book (yeah, yeah, the ending was “predictable,” but I don’t even care lol. I still enjoyed myself 🤷🏻♀️).
Runaway bride Naomi gets called by her twin sister, Tina, Who needs her help. All her life, Naomi has been helping her sister get out of tough situations, and this is no different. She goes to the town she’s been living in and is greeted by harsh words, horrible whispers, and bad hospitality. She’s quick to defend herself and clarify that she’s not her twin sister, but the grumpiest, hottest of them all basically kicks her out. Too bad she finds him hot- his manners are the worst of the bunch.
Knox’s quick to try to rectify his mistake- by becoming protective of Naomi. Even though he aids Naomi when she needs it, he’s still a grump. Hiding behind his icy exterior is a man that’s been hurt by life, and a man that is possessive and jealous of any other man that gets near Naomi 😅. He wants her, but he doesn’t want a commitment. Naomi isn’t looking for a relationship- she literally just left her ex-fiancé the day of her wedding, but she can’t help but swoon at all the attentiveness Knox gives her.
The push/pull between them was delicious. I loved how j/p Knox got whenever anyone with testosterone got near Naomi, especially when his handsome brother becomes a little too nice to Naomi 😈. If Knox could’ve marked his territory, he would’ve. Naomi has an 11 year-old niece to take care of, and a grumpy, tall 43 year-old man that can’t stop showing her how much he wants her.
The smexxy times were scrumptious. Since the opening chapter, there was electricity and a raw, visceral connection between Knox and Naomi. Once we get to 43%, all bets off all… as well as any clothing 🔥🥵. Knox does not shy away from getting what he wants… and he takes every opportunity to claim his property 😉😅. That first scene when he gets home from the hospital was 🔥🔥🔥 (even though I felt second-hand embarrassment the next morning lol). And when he defends her and takes her back to his office to show her how important she is? Swooooon but also 🥵.
Yeah, the ending was on the predictable side, but you know what? I don’t even care lol. I was glued to the pages, trying to see what was going to happen next.
And the side characters were all amazing!! I need all of their books. I KNOW we need to get one with Sloane and Lucian 👀 because their chemistry was 🔥. And I also was side eyeing Lina… with maybe Knox’s brother Nash 👀lol. Shoot- I’ll even take one with Stef (Naomi’s bff), maybe with Jeremiah 👀.
The town was supportive and dreamy. Gah. I love how much they back up Naomi when Knox messed up 😅😂😈. She might be new in town, but they all showed her love.
I loved it! I can’t wait to read more from this series!

“You’re telling me he’s a grumpy, overprotective hottie next-door..."
“You’re telling me he’s a grumpy, overprotective hottie next-door and you’re not going to sleep with him? How wasteful.”⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for Things We Never Got Over by @scorelucyFrom running out on her own wedding to running straight to the small town of Knockemout to “rescue” her estranged (re: evil) twin sister, Naomi Watt is having the *worst* day ever. To make it worse, her sister steals her car and leaves her stranded with Naomi’s teenaged niece, Waylay, that she never knew existed. ☕️Thought to be her twin sister, bad-boy barber Knox Morgan shows up to run Naomi right out of town. It is hate-at-first-sight and the sparks are flying, y’all! Knox jumps in to help Naomi and Waylon get back on their feet and hopefully out of his hair….quickly…until it turns into *real* danger.This is Lucy Score, small town, grumpy/sunshine, boss/employee, hate/love romance at its finest. Topped off with some over-the-top crime drama at the end. One of my favorite reads of 2022 so far!Here’s to hoping there’s a Knockemout sequel on the way ✨

3.75/5 ⭐️
Age Rating: 18+
Pros:
Loveable characters
Comforting Read
Great escape (I would so live in this town if I could)
It made me really want to read the other books in the series
Had me feeling all the emotions!
Cons:
Very unrealistic (I don't think that's too much of a bad thing, though...)
The ending felt slightly rushed
Sometimes cringey dialogue
This book was honestly such a good romance! I loved how unrealistic and cheesy it was at times and it proved to be such a fun escape. I don't think it's peak quality but I can't doubt or complain about how much I enjoyed reading it. I try to base reviews off of how the book made me feel while also being realistic about how good of quality the book objectively is.
Make sure that going into it, you know that this is supposed to be an unrealistic, feel-good book. Now there are some emotional and intense scenes in it but that just makes it all the more intriguing! I honestly was on the edge of my seat with how invested I was in these characters. A couple of them felt like cliche characters but Lucy Score still managed to make them interesting and enjoyable. The situations she came up with just made me laugh and they did a good job of showing off the characters and how they behave.
One thing I did find annoying, however, was how back and forth Knox was with things. And I know that's the point of things... man says he doesn't care or want to help and yet still does anyway even though he wants not commitment. But I felt it was slightly too constant and obvious. That didn't stop it from making me slightly giddy every time though...
Honestly, if you know the purpose behind the book and what you're signing up for, this is an amazing storyline. I'm super excited to read the rest of the Knockemout books because I'm WAY too invested in this small town!

The author's prose is beautifully crafted, evoking a range of emotions that linger long after the final page is turned. Each character is intricately developed, with their own struggles and triumphs that readers can easily relate to. The narrative effortlessly weaves together multiple storylines, keeping the reader engaged and invested throughout.
What truly sets this book apart is its raw honesty. The author fearlessly explores the darker aspects of human nature, tackling themes of heartbreak, betrayal, and forgiveness with a refreshing authenticity. Through the highs and lows of the characters' journeys, readers are reminded of the universal truths that bind us all together.
"Things We Never Got Over" is a powerful reminder of the resilience of the human spirit. It's a book that will make you laugh, cry, and ultimately, reflect on the depth of the human experience. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a compelling read that will stay with them long after they've finished the last chapter.
