Book Review: Things We Never Got Over by Lucy Score

About

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.

My Thoughts

This book can be described in one word, ENTERTAINING!!! I loved it. I saw mixed reviews about this series and went into it unsure, especially since I never read this author before.

In Things We Never Got Over we meet Naomi as she arrives in the town of Knockemout to a less than warm welcome. Apparently, her twin sister Tina has been leaving a trail of destruction in the town. In walks Knox, dangerously handsome, who upon getting over the fact that Naomi is NOT TINA, decides to welcome her to town.

Naomi was shocked to hear she had a niece named Waylay, who Tina abandoned. The story takes us through Naomi's adjusting to her new situation and Knox...I loved the book and cannot wait to read the rest of this series.
