Things We Never Got Over (Knockemout)

In love!

Lots of build up then.. oh no, i wrote 400 pages... quick better dump all the action in the last 100 pages.

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.
