Lucy Score has done it again! I have been waiting (very impatiently at times) for Lucian & Sloane's story since their characters were introduced in book one of the Knockemout series! And it did not disappoint!
Sloane Walton is a feisty small-town librarian. Lucian Rollins is a revenge seeking businessman.
We finally find out the dark secret of their shared past that causes them to loathe each other so much. But that loathing causes sparks to fly after a one-night stand that was supposed to help get one another out of their systems.
Sloane is ready to settle down, marry & start a family, Lucian, or as Sloane refers to him, Lucifer, is adamant that he will never want those things. Can these enemies to lovers get past everything, including opposite imaginings of a future?
Danger comes knocking & after cutting Sloane out of his life for the second time, Lucian realizes that Sloane is safer with him than without him. And he's going to make sure he lets her back in for a third time.

This book is one of Score's best books yet. The slow burn from the previous two books in the Knockemout series (Things We Never Got Over and Things We Hide From the Light) pays off with the conclusion of this series. The sassy Librarian is represented as a true modern Librarian rather than the stereotypical quiet, mousey characters often seen. And Lucian's mysterious grumpy self can't help but make fans love him even more as his past is explained. The verbal sparing between the two is everywhere from comedic to romantic tension building. The inclusion of an ongoing town mystery from previous books, also keeps readers attention. And fans will be thrilled to see the reoccurrence of past characters from the series.
Score is known to her readers for writing long books, and this one tracks the same, but Knockemout is such a great town that readers will be in no rush to leave. Fans of Score will LOVE this book. And highly recommend for fans of Tessa Bailey and Claire Kingsley books as well.

Thank you to Sourcebooks for an arc of Things We Left Behind

I was so incredibly hyped to read Sloane and Lucian's book. I've been looking forward to this since book 1, so my expectations were extremely high. It absolutely did not disappoint! This was a touching finale to the Knockemount series. The epilogue made me cry. The tension and banter was phenomenal. I loved every single moment of this series and I can't recommend it enough!!

What a perfect ending to this series. I hate to see Knockemout go - I truly love this series. This was a steamy hot reveal of Lucian and Sloane’s story, and was worth the wait.

This was my favorite in the entire Knockemout series. I loved Sloane and her feistiness. Lucian was easier to understand now that I could read his point of view. I was a little skeptical that he would hold a grudge about her calling the cops on his dad. I found one spelling mistake - discrete instead of discreet - unless I'm missing a joke. Anyway, I'm sad this series is over. I really liked this little town. Also, keep publishing the Riley Thorn books by Lucy Score because they are AMAZING!
