Lucy ScoreRomance · Romantic Comedy·b. 1980
Things We Never Got Over
Synopsis
Naomi Witt has always been the responsible twin, so when her troublemaking sister Tina summons her to the rough-around-the-edges town of Knockemout, Virginia, Naomi drops everything to help. Instead she finds herself robbed, stranded, and suddenly responsible for a niece she never knew existed — with no money, no plan, and nowhere to go.
Enter Knox Morgan, the gruff, tattooed local who wants nothing to do with other people's problems and even less to do with a woman who clearly means trouble. But as Naomi digs in and refuses to run, the two of them keep colliding, and the walls Knox has built start to crack.
Lucy Score's small-town romance mixes grumpy-meets-sunshine banter, found family, and a thread of danger, launching the Knockemout series with humor and heat.

- Many other reviews on here call out the typical issues - terrible character development, poor writing - but the thing that irritated me the most was all the stuff that was so obvious to me and ignored the by the author. How and why is Naomi immediately settling down in a place she’s never even heard of until her sister? Surely Way is not so ingrained she couldn’t take her somewhere else? Why do her parents stay so long? Do they not have a life wherever they live? Why does Stef stay too? None of these people are from Knockemout! WHY ARE THEY JUST GIVING UP THEIR LIVES BECAUSE NAOMI NEEDS TO KEEP HER NIECE? And on that note, who can make that call that quickly about a kid they don’t even know? None of the unspoken stuff makes any sense, and it’s like the author figured if she didn’t mention or explain any of it no one would notice. Irritating.
- Ho amato questo libro. Il modo di raccontare la stessa storia da due punti di vista. Mi ha scatenato un insieme di senza zioni ed emozioni
- This is already my best romance of the year and Knox is my new fictional boyfriend. Sue me for it. 😁😁😁
- knox. that's it.
