Maggie Moves On is a standalone romance written by Lucy Score, detailing the romance between Maggie Nichols, a home improvement YouTube Star, and Silas Wright, a landscaper contracted to help Maggie with her latest project. The small town in Idaho, Kinship, its many quirky residents, including standout characters, Cody and Wallace, and lovable, but trouble causing pets, round out the story. The romance between Maggie and Silas was nicely developed, with Silas determined to sweep Maggie off her feet while the independent minded Maggie was determined to keep the relationship low key. The story was funny yet emotional and included an element of mystery that combined for a great, 5 star read. Bonus points for a fun cover that captured the mood of the story. I highly recommend Maggie Moves On!

Thank you to Netgalley, the publisher, and Lucy Score for the opportunity to read this ARC of Maggie Moves On!

Lucy Score nails it with this one! It's full of sass, heat, a little mystery, and a lot of love! Maggie learns what family truly means, and that there are always signs to guide you if you'll slow down and notice them.

I absolutely loved, loved, loved this book! I read it as fast as I could and was so sad when it ended. I love all of Lucy Score's books, but I think this is my favorite, favorite book. It is about a Youtube star house flipper, Maggie, who comes to a small town in Idaho to fix up an old Mansion. While there she meets landscape business owner, Silas, who decides that she is the one and does everything he can to make her fall in love with him. His family is hilarious and they all help to bring them together. This book is full of humor and of course has some hot scenes in it. Definitely recommend reading. ARC provided by Netgalley in exchange for an honest review

Maggie is a successful house flipper and Youtube sensation. Used to always moving on after finishing a house, she doesn’t get attached and she never puts down roots. When she moves to Idaho to take on her biggest project to date she meets Silas, a handsome landscaper who tries to win her heart and convince her to stay.
I really enjoyed this book and think it’s a great read for fans of opposites attract stories. I laughed a lot at the banter between Silas and Maggie, and I think their characters balanced each other out really well.

Oh, how I loved this book! I’d first like to say thank you to Netgalley and Forever for allowing me to read and review this ARC! Maggie Moves On is the perfect combination of romance, humor, spice, and lovable relationships between friends and family. All of the characters are so likable that I really found myself reading slower towards the end because I wanted the story to keep going! Maggie and Silas have the most amazing chemistry and witty banter relationship, I fell so in love with them! As individuals and together. This is the first novel I have read by Lucy Score and she is officially a favorite for me. Such a satisfying, happy story that kept me smiling the entire time I read it.

Maggie Moves On is a multi-layered story that hurtles out of the gate and keeps the reader engaged through the last page. Each character is more charming than the last. The banter is superb. The setting is wonderfully drawn and makes me want to take a vacation in the Wild West.

There are a lot of subplots woven through this story, but they all blend together pretty seamlessly. I'm sure some could argue that everything is tied up with a bow that's too neat. But honestly, this is the perfect type of rom-com, in my opinion. It had heart, it had intrigue, and it had a whole host of happy-ever-afters!

Lucy Never Disappoints!
Lucy Score is and continues to be one of my favorite authors and Maggie Moves On is a great example of all the things I love about her books.
+ Great banter
+ Sassy strong heroine
+ Swoon worthy hero
+ delightful cast of additional characters
+ fun perfectly paced story
+ wonderfully romantic and yet very steamy love story with all the feels

If you are new to Lucy Score and you like all of the above then you will definitely enjoy this book. If you are fan of her work then you probably already know what to expect and you wont be disappointed!

What a fantastic book. I fell in love with Silas immediately, you pretty much don’t have a choice but to love him. Lol. And Maggie really needs a Silas in her life and he pretty much tells her that fact when they meet. And the side characters in this book are absolutely fantastic. I mean Kevin alone is a freaking hoot. Dean, Michael, Nirina, Kayla, Cody I mean the list goes on and on.
I loved the hint of mystery in this story as well. I enjoyed the history of the house that Maggie was renovating. I was hooked on this book from page 1 and luckily I had no plans for the day except to read this book, thank goodness because I did not want to put it down.
Oh and I seriously love Silas ;)

Let me start by saying I'm a huge fan of Lucy Score! If she writes it, I will read it. I hope this review will convince you to read Maggie Moves On and Lucy's other fabulous books. Maggie Moves On is a fantastic story that flips the grumpy/sunshine script. In this book, Maggie, a renovation expert whose star is on the rise due to her YouTube show, is the "grump" - though she'd call herself a realist - and Silas, a local landscaper hired to work on Maggie's latest reno, is the sunshiny one. He's convinced from the first moment he sees Maggie that she's The One. Maggie isn't convinced and the book is one long seduction through renovation and relationship angst. The push and pull of will she stay or will she go is excellent. Why? Lucy understands people are complex and relationships are complicated. The characters she creates reflect that emotion and complexity. They are at turns funny, frustrating, loving, stubborn and more. She also creates communities where you will want to live so you can be friends with people like Maggie, Silas, Dean, Cody and maybe have a dog like Kevin. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did!

Wow, just wow! Lucy Score has truly outdone herself! You will fall in love with Maggie and Silas immediately. Silas falls immediately for Maggie but Maggie always moves on. Well not this time! Their banter is hysterical. The town that she creates, you want to go and live in. Maggie and Silas manage to fall in love and also build a family from some of the towns people that really need one. You will find yourself laughing, crying and laughing again. If you have never read one of Lucy’s books, this is a great one to start with!

Lucy Score is one of my favorite authors and this book did not disappoint. Maggie and Silas were so good together, I loved that Maggie was such a strong female lead. She didn't give in too easy! This was a great small town romance with funny side characters.

📚Review ⭐️⭐️⭐️.75

Lucy Score’s latest, “Maggie Moves On” is more than just your typical romcom. Score added her trademark mystery style to the mix. It was funny, a slow burn with high steam, and overall an enjoyable read.

Maggie is a no nonsense workaholic flipping houses on her popular YouTube series. Her next project is a monstrosity filled with typical construction woes and a surprise mystery to uncover. Silas dazzles with his furry sidekick, Kevin (loved that my brother's name was used for a dog!), his landscaping vision and his tight-knit family.

These two couldn’t operate more different, but their quick wit with each other and the entire large cast of characters was perfectly matched.

This was a girthy read and at times, I just wanted her to get to the point. I connected with Maggie’s Type A personality and laughed out loud at how Silas bulldozed his way in.

Thank you NetGalley for this arc in exchange for an honest review.

I had such a fun time reading "Maggie Moves On" by Lucy Score. This is the first of her books that I've read, and it won't be the last. At it's core, it's a small town romance where the guy falls first, hard and fast, and the gal is anti-love and commitment to start. I enjoyed the evolution of both main characters and I was fully bought into their attraction. I loved the home improvement setting, and there were some great subplots with the supporting cast involving family relationships (blood and chosen) and the hidden treasure mystery.

If you like meant-to-bes and happily-ever-afters, this is for you. This books was like eating a decadent, giant slice of chocolate cake at the end of a steakhouse dinner.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the eARC, in exchange for this honest review.

Maggie Moves on was a wonderful story by Lucy Score. I have read all of Lucy’s books and this is one of my favorites. The town on Kinship, Idaho is a small town with quirks and charm that makes you want to move there. Maggie, the main character is flawed but so relatable and easy to like and root for. The characters you meet in Kinship help to drive the story line while making you fall in love with the town and people. The combination of the romance between Maggie and Silas, the mystery surrounding the Old Campbell Place and the supporting characters that become family throughout the story makes this book hard to put down.

If you like instalove and HGTV, this book is for you. It gave Sweet Home Alabama vibes but sprinkle in some feminism. Very cute and quite spicy. Beyond the romance, the subplot of found family and finding your home were really lovely. I thought the wrap up at the end that let readers know how everyone’s story ended was really sweet.

Is family the people you are born to or the people you choose to be in your life? Perhaps it can be both if you open your heart.

Maggie Nichols renovates and flips houses with her business partner and best friend Dean. Her popularity is growing on her YouTube channel with almost a million subscribers. When the Old Campbell Place in Kinship, Idaho, went on the market, Maggie couldn't resist returning to the town that produced her happiest childhood memory. It's going to be a massive project.

Landscaper Silas Wright shares Maggie's vision to restore the property, however that's where their shared vision ends. Silas thinks she could be the future Mrs. Wright, but Maggie warns him she will move on when the renovation is completed.

Can Silas, his extended family, the people of Kinship, and her own dysfunctional family heal Maggie's heart? Throw in an interesting mystery surrounding the original owners of the Old Campbell Place, and you've got a story that grabs you from the first page.

Author Lucy Score has a winner with Maggie Moves On. The dialogue is witty, the chemistry is steamy, and you will wish you lived in Kinship, Idaho with these wonderful people.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

A great read by Lucy Score. She never disappoints. Maggie Moves On is full of lovable characters, romance, suspense, heart, and character growth.

Maggie is a successful home renovation YouTuber. She is very independent with Dean being her only true friend. After landing in Kinship, Idaho for her next project, she starts to question her independence..

Silas is a landscaper with a big, involved family, who simps for Maggie from day one. He truly wears his heart on his sleeve and shows all his emotions. I love that he communicates all his feelings.

Maggie Moves On is not just a book about the romance between the two main characters. If you like books to have some extra plot to them, it’s a must read!

This is the first Lucy Score book I read, and now I know why I kept hearing about her on Booktok. I truly loved this book! At one point, a secondary storyline comes into play and I was expecting to hate it and how it took away from the main story, but it worked so wonderfully and made me love the characters more. Each character could get a spin off of their own. I'd love to stay in Kinship and hear all about them.

4.5 stars rounded down. I’m a big fan of Lucy Score’s and become more of a fan with every book of her’s I read. If you like small town romances where the guy falls first (and hard), then this is the story for you. Maggie is the star of a home renovation show on YouTube, but her newest renovation in the small town of Kinship is by far her biggest project to date. Silas owns a landscaping company, and is contracted by Maggie to work on her new property’s greenery. Maggie is a bit closed off at first, as she doesn’t want to be dependent upon anyone. Silas is the complete opposite. He has a huge family and a huge personality. He knows what he wants almost instantly when it comes to Maggie, and he isn’t afraid to let her know that, repeatedly. In addition to having great banter and just being an all around sweet story, there’s also a bit of a mystery attached to the house she is renovating. As is typical for most of Lucy’s books, the cast of side characters is amazing and hysterical. They add a lot of humor to the story, and Lucy really is an expert at crafting interesting secondary characters. But the best character of the book… Kevin, Silas’s mischievous pit bull. If you’re looking for a sweet, small town romance that will make you laugh, Maggie Moves On would be a great choice.
