Things We Never Got Over (Collector's Edition) (Knockemout Series, 1)

This stunning special edition features a ribbon bookmark, holographic foil, designed endpapers, a printed edge design, and a naked hardcase.

New York Times bestselling author Lucy Score brings you a grumpy/sunshine romance guaranteed to knock you out. Welcome to Knockemout, Virginia, the small town with the best coffee, the best whiskey and the hottest bad boy heroes you've ever laid hands--I mean eyes--on.

Knox Morgan doesn't tolerate drama, especially in the form of a stranded runaway bride.

Naomi Witt is on the run. Not just from her fiancé and a church full of well-wishers, but from her entire life. Although if you ask her, Naomi's riding to the rescue of her estranged hot mess of a twin, Tina, to Knockemout, 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 behind something unexpected: the niece Naomi didn't know she had. Now she's a guardian to an eleven-year-old-going-on-thirty with no car, no money, and no plan.

There's a reason this bearded, bad-boy barber doesn't get involved with high-maintenance women, especially not Type-A romantic ones. But since Naomi's life imploded right in front of him, the least Knox 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 quiet, solitary life.

At least, that's the plan.

This book had me constantly wanting to keep reading and finding it hard to put down. There was a new twist on each chapter and I enjoyed hearing the perspectives from both of the main characters, Knox and Naomi. When I had finished the book I was thrilled to see that there was another in the series to read!

Okay I caved and read it, I was nervous after everyone raving about it so much and honestly thought I’d be disappointed. I wasn’t. It’s perfect, this story brought tears to my eyes, it made me laugh out loud, and it made me smile. Watching a character develop and get over trauma, and grow is just beautiful and this book portrays it in the most profound way possible. I was gripped with the story from the start and it had twists n turns that kept me on the edge the whole time - I can’t wait to read Nash’s story and even more I can’t wait for Lucy’s story to come out, Sloane has a special place in my heart for being such an absolute gem

Another book club book that I didn't get to read before we met - and I missed that meeting, so I have no idea what everyone else thought about it... but, I digress...

There seems to be a lot of hype over this one. Everyone's reading it or wants to read it. It was almost impossible to find at the library - the wait was months - in fact, the first version I downloaded on my kindle from the library was in German. Kindle Unlimited to the rescue, so I guess I did pay for this one, though I'm not upset I don't get to keep it and reread it years from now.

It was okay. Ish. Heavy emphasis on the "ish". Took me much longer to get through than most other books I've picked up recently - maybe partly because it's not my normal go-to genre ... but I think more because it just dragged. The characters all seemed awfully immature for their stated ages and the ending was just too "wrap-it-up-in-a-pretty-bow" perfect when you take into account the dumpster fire that these characters' lives were throughout the rest of the book. I'm not upset I read it - but I probably won't seek this author out again.

Book one of the series. Knox … Knox Knox Knox. What a MMC. That really all I can say… this one really roped me into the series.
