Summary
Bearded， bad-boy barber Knox prefers to live his life the way he takes his coffee: Alone。 Unless you count his basset hound， Waylon。 Knox doesn’t tolerate drama， even when it comes in the form of a stranded runaway bride。
Naomi wasn’t just running away from her wedding。 She was riding to the rescue of her estranged twin to Knockemout， Virginia， 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 her with something unexpected。 The niece Naomi didn’t know she had。 Now she’s stuck in town with no car， no job， no plan， and no home with an 11-year-old going on thirty to take care of。
There’s a reason Knox doesn’t do complications or high-maintenance women， especially not the romantic ones。 But since Naomi’s life imploded right in front of him， the least he 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 peaceful， solitary life。
At least， that’s the plan until the trouble turns to real danger。

Exceedingly poor artistryA shallow money grab by an author with a very limited vocabulary。 There is no artistry to the writing whatsoever。 A waste of time。

Surprisingly Interesting My First book by her and I wasn't disappointed but it was a lot。 Twin vs Twin， from enemies to lovers， to "opposite attracts"。 The story will keep you going just enough to get to the ending。 I love the fact that it Naomi ended up with Way （her niece） in the end and that Knox finally "Manned" up and be with Naomi。 However Tina who's Naomi twin just frustrated me how can you just abandon your child after "suckering" your twin into town to take care of Way with no explanati Surprisingly Interesting My First book by her and I wasn't disappointed but it was a lot。 Twin vs Twin， from enemies to lovers， to "opposite attracts"。 The story will keep you going just enough to get to the ending。 I love the fact that it Naomi ended up with Way （her niece） in the end and that Knox finally "Manned" up and be with Naomi。 However Tina who's Naomi twin just frustrated me how can you just abandon your child after "suckering" your twin into town to take care of Way with no explanation 😒。 I wouldn't mind reading more about the other characters especially Lucy and Sloane what is it with them that made them "Hate" each other。 But the SPICY 🌶 parts of this book made it worthwhile。 Overall easy read。 。。。more

I had to put it downI had to put this book down because I didn’t want it to ever end！ This is my first Lucy Score book but it wont be my last。 Its been a long time since Ive enjoyed a book so much。 I enjoyed to so much I bought the physical copy too after reading it on KU。 I would give this book 10/5 if I could。 I cant wait to read future books set in Knockemout。 Until then， I’ll be convincing all my friends to read this book。

I absolutely love when a hyped book lives up to its hype。I had seen so many 5 star reviews for this from friends I really trust。 Which I think scared me even more because they weren't just strangers screaming about a book， it was people who I know I share a lot of opinions with。Starting it I was a bit dubious。 The vibes I was getting was not what I thought a lot of my friends would give 5⭐️'s to but I think I was overthinking it。 After a bit of reassurance from @fierce。heroine I powered through I absolutely love when a hyped book lives up to its hype。I had seen so many 5 star reviews for this from friends I really trust。 Which I think scared me even more because they weren't just strangers screaming about a book， it was people who I know I share a lot of opinions with。Starting it I was a bit dubious。 The vibes I was getting was not what I thought a lot of my friends would give 5⭐️'s to but I think I was overthinking it。 After a bit of reassurance from @fierce。heroine I powered through the first 20% and by then I was fully in love with this story and especially the characters。This story had so much humour and great characters。 The chemistry between the sunshine and the grump really stole the show。 I would absolutely recommend if you haven't read it already 🌼 。。。more

Where do I even begin？！ I fell in love with the characters in this book & by the end， I felt like I was a resident of Knocketmout。 The tension， the buildup， the romance， the family drama， I loved all of it。 So well written and incredibly hard to put down。 Looking forward to reading more by Lucy Score this year。

Laughed and CriedI was in a dark romance phase when I decided to pick this little gem up for a change of scenery and I couldn't be happier that I did。 In some parts I laughed so hard I nearly woke my toddler and in others I needed to fumble around for a tissue to dry my eyes。 Fantastic book with great characters， love Knox & Daze （I prefer Witty tbh） 。 Can't wait for the second book， which I have everything crossed its Lucy's because ！？！ What in the eff is that story！！ You won't regret reading t Laughed and CriedI was in a dark romance phase when I decided to pick this little gem up for a change of scenery and I couldn't be happier that I did。 In some parts I laughed so hard I nearly woke my toddler and in others I needed to fumble around for a tissue to dry my eyes。 Fantastic book with great characters， love Knox & Daze （I prefer Witty tbh） 。 Can't wait for the second book， which I have everything crossed its Lucy's because ！？！ What in the eff is that story！！ You won't regret reading this one 。。。more

Really enjoyed this book - and liked both main characters - but while I love a happy ending， this one was just a bit （extremely） cheesy and overdone。 Also - just in case Lucy Score is ever reading this， please rethink Nash and Lina！ I love love love what’s building between Sloane and Lucius， but Lina’s character was really unlikeable。

This story had me from when Knox was trying to kick Naomi out of town。 Although he was mistaking her for her infamous twin Tina， who apparently caused quite the ruckus in Knockemout。 This story was so much more than just a simple story。 So very much more！ I felt such a kinship with Naomi because I am just like her; I am always trying to please everyone before I even think of myself。 And then when I do focus on me， I won't ask for help by the people in my life who always offer to help。And Knox。 F This story had me from when Knox was trying to kick Naomi out of town。 Although he was mistaking her for her infamous twin Tina， who apparently caused quite the ruckus in Knockemout。 This story was so much more than just a simple story。 So very much more！ I felt such a kinship with Naomi because I am just like her; I am always trying to please everyone before I even think of myself。 And then when I do focus on me， I won't ask for help by the people in my life who always offer to help。And Knox。 Freaking Knox。 From the word go， he's been attracted and annoyed by Naomi。 And Naomi isn't as fond of Knox either。 Or the Viking。 But then they are both so interwoven， that yeah， they started to like each other。 And then enter all the other characters in Knockemout， from friends to Knox's family。 After reading this story， I can't wait for more of Knockemout！ I truly hope there will be more！ 。。。more
