Things We Never Got Over - Knockemout Series (Paperback)
Lucy Score (author)Published: 14/07/2022
Lucy Score's irresistible love story fizzes with steamy encounters and sizzling chemistry as a runaway bride winds up in a small Virginia town with the niece she never knew she had and an unexpected crush on the local barber.
Grumpy, small-town barber + hopelessly romantic runaway bride = great big bust ups, all the tension and lots of steamy encounters!
Escaping her seemingly perfect wedding, Naomi Witt arrives in rough-around-the-edges Knockemout, Virginia, running to the rescue of her estranged twin, Tina.
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 11-year-old niece she didn't know she had. Now she's stuck in town with no job, no plan, no home and a whole lot of extra responsibility.
There's a reason local barber 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 trouble, he can leave her alone and get back to his peaceful, solitary life.
At least that's the plan, until their lives begin to entwine in ways they never imagined.

It's a long story, you gotta take your time to get involved with all these characters, see the relationships develop and grow, you get ALLLL THE LITTLE MOMENTS that would make you GUSH AND SWOON - Liber Lady
There's that moment when you finish a really incredible book when you just have to take a second to take a deep breath and absorb all your feelings because it was so tremendously good and you can't voice all the good it made you feel. You feel it in your soul. That's what Things We Never Got Over did for me - About That Story
It's got every single thing I love in a romance book: a gruff/grumpy bad boy who says he doesn't want love, but his actions dictate otherwise, a hopeless romantic heroine that all readers want to befriend, a small town with charm but one that doesn't skimp on the gossip, and a sweet budding romance that readers root for - Elles Book Blog
I loved the subtlety and the transformation of the broken hero - and broken heroine - and the growth in intimacy was so very satisfying. These two opposites attract in the best of ways, and their chemistry was both smokin' hot and seriously swoony - Jeeves Reads Romance
The small-town characters were plentiful and colourful! This well-written story made me laugh, as well as pulled at my heartstrings with its excellent plot. Fabulous read! - Reading, Willing & Able
This book is addictive reading with its lovely, kind heroine in Naomi and the combative grump with a heart of gold in Knox. With hot times, wit and banter, a wonderful cast of characters, brother duking it out over anything, a talented, blossoming pre-teen and a growing problem, and you have a wonderful read which goes straight onto my reread shelf - Love Shack Romance
I absolutely loved the humor but even more I loved the depth of emotion as these characters grew and learned from their mistakes - Kiss the Pages
Lucy Score always gives me the feel-good and adorably witty sincere romance butterflies. Things We Never Got Over has all her sincere magic with a heavy heap of small town charm and an immersive level of suspense - Romantic Rush Reads
Each side character is precious. Seriously. They deserve their own story, specially Knox's brother and bestie - The Romantic Bibliotheca
The writing is so entertaining that it'll have you breezing through the pages. I felt all the feels. Laughed out loud (so many times). My kindle sizzled. And my gosh all the characters were just so fun and likeable - Ruth's Romances Blog
I finished this book with a big fat tear rolling down my face. And I don't care one bit - Mum That Reads
