In love!
Classic enemies to lover story time.
This was such an odd read - it really took some time for me to get into that I almost DNF ~20% in, but I enjoyed the writing style. I think it was a tad too long in the middle which led to a really rushed, almost out of the blue ending with drug lords & the mafia showing up, but the pros outweigh the cons so I'm leading to a 3.5*...I think.
This is one of the better enemies-to-lovers tropes I've read, because OMG, Knox is a complete douchenozzle, then he goes and says some endearing crap and immediately I'm all swooning again. But then I remember that dude is 43 YEARS OLD and he's acting like a lead in a YA novel. He was a total tool - a growly, incredibly hot, barber, but a tool nonetheless.
Naomi was such a people-pleaser and I enjoyed her growth throughout the ups & downs in the small-town setting. Knockemout is a great small town with a fantastic score of supporting characters. The bonus 2nd epilogue is worth the download that gives a teasing glance to Nash & Lucian's HEAs which I look forward to reading about.

Good twin, Naomi is a runnaway bride. Evil twin Tina, calls her for help. Turns out, Tina left her 11 years old daughter, and now Naomi has to take care of her.
This book was an almost DNF. Why name the niece Waylay and the dog Waylon? The town Knockemout and the hero is Knot? I understand that the author is 'woke' but we've got both a lesbian couple and 2 gorgeous gay men? All in a small hick town where everyone knows each other, no one is a backwards hick... Also, did coffee replace water? Ugh.
