I came across the Knockemout series on Booktube, and if you know me, then you’ll know I’m not usually one to read series of books.
However, I had heard too many good things about the characters in these books to pass up on reading a good romance and I’m so thankful that I did.
There are only three books in this series, but the books range around 500-600+ pages in each volume, so they’re definitely a hefty read. Here are my reviews of all three books in the Knockemout series.
Check out my reviews below and keep up with my reads on Goodreads and read my latest reviews on the blog here.
1. Things We Never Got Over
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. 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.
My rating: ★★★★★
Obsessed. That is my review of this book. It may have took 100 pages before the two main characters finally kissed but oh my word I was hooked to this book. The ending had my smiling from ear to ear and wishing it didn’t have to end. You need to read this if you like romance novels!
2. Things We Hide From the Light
Nash Morgan was always known as the good Morgan brother, with a smile and a wink for everyone. But now, this chief of police is recovering from being shot and his Southern charm has been overshadowed by panic attacks and nightmares. Nash isn’t about to let anyone in his life know he’s struggling. But his new next-door neighbour, smart and sexy Lina, sees his shadows. As a rule, she’s not a fan of physical contact unless she initiates it, but for some reason Nash’s touch is different. He feels it too. The physical connection between them is incendiary, grounding him and making her wonder if exploring it is worth the risk. Too bad Lina’s got secrets of her own, and if Nash finds out the real reason she’s in town, he’ll never forgive her.
My Rating: ★★★★★
Number two in the Knockemout series and I was hoping for it to be almost as good as the first because I didn’t think there would be any chance that it could be better. But oh I was wrong. Nash and Lina’s love story was somehow even better than Knox and Naomi’s and again, I couldn’t put this chunky (600-page) book down, finishing in just a few days. I’m obsessed with series.
3. Things We Left Behind
Lucian Rollins is a lean, mean vengeance-seeking mogul. On a quest to erase his father’s mark on the family name, he spends every waking minute pulling strings and building an indestructible empire. Sloane Walton is a spitfire determined to carry on her father’s quest for justice. Bonded by an old, dark secret from the past and the dislike they now share for each other, Sloane trusts Lucian about as far as she can throw his designer-suited body. When bickering accidentally turns to foreplay, these two find themselves not quite regretting their steamy one-night stand. Once those flames are fanned, it seems impossible to put them out again.
My Rating: ★★★★★
After racing through book two, I had to get my hands on the third and final instalment to find out how the series would end. After reading the first two books, it was obvious that Lucian and Sloane’s story was going to be the most intense and I think Lucy Score definitely kept the best until last.
I’m gutted that this series has come to an end and I’m silently hoping that Lucy Score writes a spin-off or retracts her choice to finish at the third book. We can live in hope.
