A man who knew how to meet my immediate needs and did it with a smile? I couldn't help but fall just a little bit in love with him right then and there.

She was carrying a bouquet of flowers, and for a second, I wanted to know who the hell had given them to her so I could kick their ass.

Was there someone out there who would find me to be enough? Not too much or too little, but the person they’d been waiting for their whole life.

it is so bad i want to give you a zero, but that’s not possible so i give you a one

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.

The book was an easy, light read perfect for a beach day, but not a 5 star for me. It felt too long and the narrative between the main characters kept getting weird. There were too many characters and too many side stories, I kind of struggled to finish the whole book.

This book was amazing! I love a dual pov!! This was written beautifully omg! So many things were going on in this book but it was so easy to follow which I was obsessed with. Watching / reading about how Naomi breaks down Knox’s walls was so interesting and cuteeeeee!! I’m on my way to read the other two 🙈

Temi Awani

Literally a 10/10 for the whole series. Definitely recommended if your looking for a fluffy book with just a bit of a twist 😉

Other than things being a bit repetitive in the middle, this was perfection

This was my First Lucy Score book and I have to admit that I went in to this one blind without really know much about this book and I think that I may be enjoyed this one because of going in blind and not knowing what to expect, The only thing I had to go off was that a couple of friends have read this one and enjoyed and had recommended this one to me.  

Naomi comes to the small town of Knockemout after leaving her fiancée at the alter and to come help her twin sister Tina. When she gets to town, she realises her sister had caused all kinds of hell in town and has a bad reputation. In fact, she is thought to be her sister when she goes to the local cafe and Knox Morgan shows up to “escort” her out of town. The couple are thrown together, and Naomi realizes that she has an eleven-year-old niece that she knew nothing about which ties her to the small town.

Setting aside the romance side of the book the overall plot of Naomi and her family drama was so entertaining and interesting to follow and same as the mystery going on as well it really kept me hooked to this book and wanting to pick this up once I had put it down. Despite this being my first Score book I know that I will be back as I loved the writing style it’s an easy read; despite the heavy topics within the book itself

Overall, I loved this book and am so excited to continue this series with Nash’s book!! Definitely should’ve picked it up sooner as well!!

Two things wrong with this book:
- “the man, like his dog, was peeing.”
IN HIS BACK YARD????? Absolutely not. Idk what’s worse, the fact that he’s 43, or that he’s being compared to his DOG

- “My tight, wet wonderland.”
HUH

I wanna start by saying will Knox Morgan marry me, please?! I am so in love with him it’s an obsession at this point. He’s everything I want and the fact that he’s fictional should be a crime. Also my second Lucy Score book and she’s one of my favorite authors now.

The way he loved Naomi had me giggling and kicking my feet. They didn’t have to admit it but I knew from the beginning how in love they were with each other. The way he loved Waylay too melted my heart. He took such good care of Waylay and treated her like his own. When he was first introduced I laughed because he and I are the same we love our sleep and don’t like it when it’s disturbed. His and Naomi’s banter was everything. <3

Naomi man I love her so much! Not only did she try and help her sister (screw you Tina I’m still mad at you) but she took in Waylay without even really second-guessing it much. That instantly made me love her. She was such a good role model for Waylay and did her best to guide her.

Waylon and Waylay were probably my favorite characters though they were just cute and I loved them lol. But a little spoiler when Waylay called Knox dad at the end of the book in the epilogue I sobbed so hard!! It made me so happy 🥺

I really liked how it captured the essence of a small-town setting, and it was a quick read for me. The twist near the end was fantastic, although there were parts that didn't quite sit right with me. For instance, the main character's obsession with coffee was a bit much—while it was cute and relatable at first, it became repetitive as the story progressed.

Despite that, I found the tension between Knox and Naomi intriguing, and I appreciated how Waylay was interwoven into their lives. Some of their interactions were a bit cringy, but I expected that from a book like this. Overall, it was a charming and engaging read that I enjoyed.

“One thing you gotta understand, Naomi. If there’s anything in this world you want, I’m gonna get it for you. No questions asked. You want it, it’s yours. So here.”  

I love it omggg

I am rating this book 4 stars purely based on vibes. Stereotypical grumpy sunshine but I could not put it down. We’re the writing and plot amazing and groundbreaking? No! But I had a great time

Moonchild

F*CKkkkkkkkkk this was amazing funny full of sarcasm to much coffee references but 5 stars I cried omg 😱 I have to read it again later and mark and underline the SHIT ou of it

this is a book i still haven’t stopped thinking about years later. i’m not sure what did it for me, but i am obsessed with this book. the story grips you from the beginning and will have you loving every character except tina. i love a good small town setting with gossip and romance, especially with a bad boy and sunshine girl type of romance. the storytelling and pace are perfect as well. this book is just a good heartfelt book tbh. noami moves to a small town after a breakup and meets knox, a grumpy bad boy and he decides to help her out, especially since naomi’s twin sister basically drops her daughter off on her front doorstep and leaves town.

I didn't necessarily hate it. Knox just kinda gave me the ick, later on it wasn't so bad because he started to act his age. Besides that, I was vibin' for the most part, just not a book I'm absolutely in love with. I did however love Naomi and Waylay.

Love the sexual tension in these books, I’m waiting on on book three to see what up with Lucian. He’s always intrigue me the other two books.

this is my first book that i’ve read by lucy score and it will not be the last one. 

TWNGO is about naomi who is a runaway bride come to a small town to help her twin sister. when she gets to the town she realizes that her sister have make some chaos in the town and has a bad reputation. her twin sister leaves her with her eleven year old niece, waylay. naomi had no clue she had a niece. and ofc there’s a grumpy neighbour. duh.

i didn’t expect that i will liked this book so much bcs i heard quite a lot of mixed reviews and i’m really scared that i will not like it BUT omg knox and naomi literally the best grumpy x sunshine couple EVER. for me naomi is the main star in this story. she’s been through a LOT like she deserves something worth it for her ending story. while knox morgan OH GOD THIS MAN…*chefs kiss* HES SUPER hot. a tattooed man??? grumpy??? protective??? GIVE ME THIS MAN TO ME. their relationship development were so good. i could felt their love, passion and connection through the pages. the slow burn. oh god i’m just so obsessed with angsty. but there’s one thing that i don’t quite like….the third act conflicts…oh god knox was acting like such a BABY ISTG. i’m mad but at least WE GOT THE ENDING THAT WE WANTED. 

other things that i love in this book are the relationship of naomi and waylay. naomi learned to be the best aunty and protect waylay with her life. their humour and sarcasm OH GOD IM WHEEZING..also we got to see others characters in here, they’re amazing characters and i love knockemout town SO MUCH. 

overall, this book is really good and i guess i will treasure it for awhile before i read the second book in the series. a very perfect mix of slow burn, sweet and spicy and angsty. yup my favs. pls pls read this book if you love grumpy x sunshine and small town romance.

I rated it a 4 star at the time cause I was blind to its faults but here’s what my review was at the time… (this so embarrassing to read now)

You know what? I ate this up and left no crumbs. In fact, I licked my lips clean of this. I barely started it the first day and devoured it the second. DEVOURED. This is a book that is over 500 pages, everybody.

I don’t know why I ever try ignoring the fact that romance books are elite and have me giggling to the point of a doctor from a couple centuries ago sending me to like Scotland to cure my hysteria. It’s that bad.

Anyways, grumpy x sunshine, fake dating, small-town romance, a tiny bit of enemies to lovers, etc. You know the drill. We all do.

(also: the fact that this is a series means I’ll get to read about Lucian and I don’t know what to do with that information except asDFGHJKLAYFAYOACZBKW)
