This book turned out so much better than I expected!! I thought it was just going to be the typical HEA story but it was so much more. Maggie is complex and a self proclaimed tumbleweed until she meets Silas, the hot landscaper who slowly breaks down her walls. Silas trusts his gut and believes in signs and getting Maggie to see the signs they were meant to be took more work than he’s ever had to do in his life. With the help of his family, friends, and lovable canine, the town of Kinship Idaho grew on Maggie while helping Silas realize Maggie was who he’s been missing all his life, he just needed her to see and want it too.


This entire book is filled with a lovable ban of misfits that form the perfectly imperfect family. Maggie gained so much being in Kinship-she finally found a home and with the family she made for herself. Silas’s unwavering support and charm helped Maggie move on from her nomadic life and put down roots surrounded by unconditional love. And how can you not love Kevin, the adorable canine companion full of comedic relief? Old homes always hold surprises- some good, some bad, and some unbelievably connected to the signs of the universe.

Rating 4.5 stars


Thank you @readforeverpub and @netgalley for this eARC in exchange for my honest feedback.

Lucy Score has a way of writing that just makes everything and everyone REAL and ALIVE and you just want to stay in that world because you end up caring about every single person and animal you meet.
This story is so much more than what you think you are getting. (That’s why I’m not a huge fan of blurbs.) Yes, you get the main character romance, but the growth they go through and the romance and growth of all the extra characters you meet in Kinship, Idaho. This is definitely a book I’ll be reading again.

~I was given this book and made no commitments to leave my opinions, favorable or otherwise~

Downloaded this yesterday and read late into the night to finish this amazing read!! I am new to Lucy Score, and Maggie Moves on was my second read by her! I love the strong and independent Maggie and I love the sweet and swoony Sy. This story gave me the warm fuzzy feelings and I love how Lucy writes strong family units in her books. Overall, loved this one and I can't WAITTTT to read more from Lucy!!!

4 stars - I liked it

This book is so sweet!!

I saw this on NetGalley, noticed who the author is, I've been wanting to read a Lucy Score book since FOREVER, and then saw the publisher and I'm like what???? The not even five minutes later, I see a story about this book, about what it's about, heard the phrase "He falls for her the minute he sees her" and I'm like "Sold", and that's when I started to read it😂

Now this book was CUTE. There's the banter which is fantastic, there's a small town, there's the male MC that's a landscape architect (yes please!!) that is very handsome and HE. FALLS. FIRST. Already love him of course, you can't not love Silas in this book, he's the best, and his dog Kevin. Kevin is also the best. You'll love Kevin.

The banter and characters in this book were awesome! The two people were the best, I love how Maggie is a Youtuber who does house flips on her channel. It's what you expect in small town banter, and I'm here for it! 👏

Silas is amazing. He's such an awesome book boyfriend, he's funny, very sweet, very persistent but in a cute way, super compassionate, he's the best!!

I do have some things to note, but keep in mind that these are just my personal opinions and preferences when reading!! I don't love characters who are stubborn, just not my thing. Maggie is a stubborn character in this book, and it's fun to see Silas wear her down throughout, but again, it's a me thing. And this book was long too, so if you like longer books, look no further!!

Thank you to NetGalley and Forever Pub for the earc in return for an honest review.

This book has it all. There was romance, home renovation, quirky pets and even a little mystery. It starts with Maggie who has a popular YouTube home renovation show moving to Idaho to complete her next renovation. Then we meet Silas the hot landscaper and his dog Kevin. She is a wanderer moving from job to job, Silas is a local with a close knit family. I couldn’t put it down. Can’t wait for others to get to enjoy this book.

Lucy Score does it again. Another great read. It was laugh out loud funny in some places and touched my heart in others. Characters are diverse and well drawn. Highly recommend this title.

This book felt like a warm hug. I enjoyed every single character, and thought they all were written as their own characters and not just placeholders or meant to push the story forward. everyone is likable.

Silas is the smoothest talker ever, and his charm was never too much. (The spice in the book was really well written and Silas is 10/10) And Maggie is my favorite kind of MC. Even when she was unsure of herself, she stayed true to who she was even when pressured to give instant reactions. She was always honest and hardworking, but still cute and funny. I usually like slow burn but Silas instantly declares his love for Maggie in like, the first chapters (lol) and it’s the cutest set up for every scene after that.

I also really enjoyed the broken family element, and how everything plays out at the end. I guess the only reason this wasn’t a full 5 stars from me was because I wanted maybe a bit more tension in the book, so I couldn’t guess what would happen or at least be worried but that’s just my preference. I’ll definitely be looking into more books from this author.

I was thrilled to receive and ARC of Maggie Moves On as Lucy is one of my favorite authors.

This book did not disappoint! Maggie is our strong, determined and hardworking heroine who I found myself relating to on many occasions. Then we have sexy Silas who is head-over-heels for our Maggie, also hardworking and determined to show her that he is perfect for her. His approach to "dating" Maggie is hilarious and we love that he has such a kind heart. Note that this book is written in Dual POV so you get to fall in love with each character even more.

Maggie tends to be an army of one (plus Dean) and has guarded herself by learning to not rely on others. Silas has other plans though and is determined to show Maggie that life is better if she can let others help (and if you let those other people kiss and woo you). I absolutely loved these characters, the backstories and the banter. I don't know how Lucy keeps doing it but her characters take on a life or their own and I find that I want to be friends with them all (and her too)!

And can we talk about the best character in the book? Kevin! Everyone needs a Kevin to bring a laugh to their day.

This book was witty, sexy, funny and a thoroughly enjoyable read. Thank you Lucy for writing another kick ass female lead!

Wow! Lucy Score has done it again. The town of Kinship is just what the name states. Kin (family) + Ship (relationships). From the main characters, Silas and Maggie to all the side characters, the relationships built were strong, funny and so very entertaining! The history of the town, with a little mystery involved and Maggie’s past were twisted into the story in a way that kept me reading nonstop. This is by far my favorite Lucy Score book. It is a standalone although I wish I could have more time to spend in Kinship!

This book has so many feelings. I so wanted to kick Silas for Maggie. I understand her more then I should admit. Silas is so good for her. I need a Silas. For him to show me it's ok to open up. And the family. I'd love to have his family.

This is a wonderful book about interpersonal relationships, family and personal growth. It was refreshing to have a hero like Silas who truly fell in love at first sight and worked to make an emotionally stunted heroine, Maggie, see that they belong together. The characters, and there are many, are interconnected and well developed, and very believable. Plus add in an ongoing mystery beyond what Maggie personally had going on, it was truly an interesting and unexpected storyline. A special thank you to Lucy Score for including the last 4 pages of the book!

Another win for Lucy!
This book has a little of every emotion possible. A dose of humor, a pinch of mystery, and another lovable cast of characters filled the pages and i couldn’t put it down.

I was easily lost in Kinship, and now I want to go visit.
And hug Kevin ;)

As a fan of home makeover shows, this book grabbed me from the start. Maggie is a YouTube star for her pattern of doing renovations and moving on to the next challenge. Meeting Silas and the development of their relationship creates the conflict- can she really move on at the end of this project? The characters are so well rounded out that I felt like I knew them and was rooting for each one of them. I loved the snappy dialogue and cast of characters included in the story. I enjoyed all of the twists in the story as we learned more about Maggie and the house (and the original owners). The book is well written and edited, and I really recommend it!

Maggie Moves On is a memorable, well written, heart tugging story that I absolutely devoured.
The atmosphere of this book was just spectacular.
I felt like the story was unique and had everything in it to kept you on your toes. Charming, sweet, and so moving! Such an incredible romance.
Be prepared to fall in love with Silas and Maggie.
It’s such a smart read and a completely amazing romance. 
MMO will most definitely be on my top favorites list this year!

Forever Publishing,
Thank You for your generosity and gifting me a copy of this amazing eARC!
I will post my review closer to pub date.

Lucy Score does it again. In all honesty, one of my favorite things about Lucy Score books is how FUN they are, and “Maggie Moves On” doesn’t disappoint! Following Maggie and Sy from Meet Cute to conclusion is a delightful ride filled with sweetness, humor, delicious flirting, toe-curling heat, and Kevin the bulldog. This will go on my “Reread when I’ve had a rough day and need a soft spot to land” shelf. Absolutely delightful!

Another enjoyable read from Lucy Score!

A competent, capable heroine; a smart,sexy, head-over-heels hero; good families; found families; family drama; a mystery; sexy times; and people figuring things out after life throws them for a loop.

It's a girthy read - but worth it.

Maggie flips houses for her popular YouTube channel show. Silas is a miracle-working landscaper who digs the challenge of Maggie AND the Old Campbell Place.

Loved the callbacks to previous books (Vicky from Rock Bottom Girl!!)

Kinship sounds like a really great place.

Thanks to NetGalley for providing the ARC for this review, which is entirely my own opinion.

I had so much fun reading this story. I’ve read several books by this author and enjoyed them all, so I had no problems going into this one blind.Maggie and Silas are so endearing like their romance. If you’re in the mood for a low angst, high humor, quirky kind of romance, then look no further.

ARC kindly provided by the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Let me begin by saying I received an ARC copy through NetGalley (thank you!) I fell in love with the Silas, the hot landscaper and Maggie the self sufficient rehabber. Lucy Score is one of my favorite authors and she succeeded in writing another FANTASIC book. I loved it and see the potential for a whole series. We need another series like Blue Moon. Love ya Lucy.

Maggie Moves On was such a great book. I really enjoyed it!

The main characters Silas and Maggie were easy to fall in love with. As much as I liked their romance I really enjoyed the side characters story’s as well and I mean Kevin was definitely one of my favorite characters. I loved the small town and could really imagine living there.
Thank you so much to NetGalley and the publisher for an advanced copy of this book.

Lovely read. This is less angst-y than some of her other novels but that's actually one of the things I enjoyed most about it.

The setting in a small town in Idaho was very refreshing. Not only did I fall in love with the couple, but I fell for the whole town.
