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.
Why did I add Things We Never Got Over to my bookshelf?
I have heard so many great things about Lucy Score’s books, so I grabbed a copy of this book when I caught it on sale. I know that we sold a ton of these books when I worked at Barnes & Noble. It is pretty highly rated and I have a good feeling about it. I have become quite the mood reader lately, so maybe I can work it in sometime soon.
What are your thoughts? Have you read this book? Would you recommend it?
Nice! That’s a new to me one but the author sounds familiar. Hope you get to read it soon and that you love it!
This one is totally new to me. I hope you like it when you get around to it.
This is the only book by her that I’ve read, and I did really like it.
I’ve seen great reviews but haven’t read this author.
Eleanor has been begging to read this one and I have to keep reminding her I barely allow her to read a lot of YA, there’s no way she’s reading adult books yet.
I haven’t read this one but it sounds like it might be worth the read.
This author is one I really want to read and I have this one on my list.
