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 fianc 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 the trappings to be such a great story. It was sullied by an extremely bad male lead in Knox.. He's annoyingly macho in a way that feels fake. The dialog is so so cheesy and corny. The ending is so predictable and sunny. The general premise of the book could have been great, but the characters and writing failed it.
I borrow the first book in the series from a friend and before I even finished it, I ordered all of them. I fell in love with the characters and story. All 3 books are so detailed, they make you feel like you're really there.
Such a great book!!
I enjoyed the storytelling. Can’t wait to finish the series. This one kept me engaged. Already read it two times. The characters were entertaining. I feel like Naomi sometimes always pleasing others and never prioritize myself. In that sense I can relate to her. Great story.
I loved this book, can’t wait to read the rest of the series. This book had me laughing out loud and tearing up. You won’t regret reading it!
This is hands down my favorite book of all times. I will definitely reread this and I am going to be start the second one soon and can not wait to hear the brothers stories.
