Things We Hide from the Light (Knockemout Series, 2)

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Lucy Score returns to Knockemout, Virginia, following fan-favorite Things We Never Got Over with Knox's brother Nash's story.

Nash Morgan was always known as the good Morgan brother, with a smile and a wink for everyone. But now, this chief of police is recovering from being shot and his Southern charm has been overshadowed by panic attacks and nightmares. He feels like a broody shell of the man he once was. Nash isn't about to let anyone in his life know he's struggling. But his new next-door neighbor, smart and sexy Lina, sees his shadows. As a rule, she's not a fan of physical contact unless she initiates it, but for some reason Nash's touch is different. He feels it too. The physical connection between them is incendiary, grounding him and making her wonder if exploring it is worth the risk.

Too bad Lina's got secrets of her own, and if Nash finds out the real reason she's in town, he'll never forgive her. Besides, she doesn't do relationships. Ever. A hot, short-term fling with a local cop? Absolutely. Sign her up. A relationship with a man who expects her to plant roots? No freaking way. Once she gets what she's after, she has no intention of sticking around. But Knockemout has a way of getting under people's skin. And once Nash decides to make Lina his, he's not about to be dissuaded...even if it means facing the danger that nearly killed him.

This months books have been wayyyy too good, this is fourth 5 star read this month! I absolutely loved it, it’s great, heartfelt lovely and also had me in stitches with laughter for a lot of the book. It was beautiful to read, the characters were perfectly written, the story line was amazing and provided so much information on not only Nash & Lina but also on the other characters. It made the last book this tiniest bit better and made me even more excited for when the next book comes out - I’m 110% invested

This series is the best when it comes to romance with a lot of fun dialogue. Slow burn. They’re long but the end is the best! Little bit of thrill/action.

Book 2 of the series … my least favourite book of the 3. The FMC didn’t really grip me in at all, there was some good spice to it but I didn’t attach to it like the other 2 in the series
