It was cute but not really memorable. I'm sure in a month or so I will know nothing about this book. The struggle was kind of hard to connect to as a regular person. I mean, they're all hot and tortured by a past. Sometimes I can empathize and sometimes I want to just roll my eyes and tell the character to get over themselves and stop whining. I loved some of them, don't get me wrong, but it just seemed so Hallmark movie perfect.

It's official: I'm a full Lucy Score stan at this point. While this series starter predates her Knockemout trilogy -- and is among the first books she wrote -- it's still a well-rounded and well-written, charming, funny AND steamy romance with a colorful setting and cast of entertaining characters. One of the things I love most about Score's books is that it's never JUST about the primary couple; there are always colorful side characters adding a real homey, lived-in feel to her small towns, and the foreshadowing to future stories/romances is always fun. A juicy and sweet little read that's perfect for the cooling fall temps. Reading a Lucy Score romance always feels like a warm sweater and hot mug of cocoa to me. Can't wait to devour the rest of the series!

Although I enjoyed the book it really dragged on longer than it needed to. There were so many things going on and and fit into one book that it was a bit much. However the author did a good job of wrapping up the story and giving us a beautiful HEA.

DNF @ 36%. I usually love Lucy Score's books, but "No More Secrets" has evaded my interest the three times I have picked it up. It just feels like there is a lot of nothing happening. I am not a huge fan of insta-love as a whole, and I did not love it here. They fall in love way too quickly and barely even know each other or spend any time with each other! The story on top of it is, frankly, boring. I feel so bad saying that because I usually adore Lucy Score! I love small-town romances, but there are only so many conversations about produce and farming I can handle and want to hear. Carter is almost *too* perfect in my eyes. Farmer, vegetarian, veteran, small-town hero, sexy thighs, loves his family, all-around nice guy... no grey detected. I needed a little more angst, and I just wasn't getting it. Maybe I will pick this one back up at a later date. Good banter, though, which is expected with Score's writing.

Thank you to NetGalley, Lucy Score, and SOURCEBOOKS Bloom Books for the complimentary ARC of this book. All opinions are my own. I was not compensated for this review.

I enjoyed the new cover. I went into the book knowing this was a rerelease of one of her older works and kept that in mind. Definitely not my favorite of the Lucy Score series, but overall it was Sweet quick read with relatable characters and a decent plot. The book is a little less developed than some of her more recent books, but it still had the Lucy score style I loved.

Another absolutely AMAZING book by Lucy Score. I breezed through this book and I can't wait for the next one. I loved Carter and Summer's relationship throughout the book. All the side characters made me love the story more and Blue Moon was just the cutest town.

Thank you to netgalley and Bloom Books for the ARC!

There is only one Lucy score and that’s for a reason. Nobody can write small town romance like she does. It’s so easy to fall in love with her setting and characters!

This was such a sweet book and I absolutely loved it! The small rural town of Blue Moon Bend was adorable with all of its quirky residents, and then there are the Pierce boys! Carter is the wounded but healing hero with a sensitive side and appreciation of nature, the diplomatic and responsible Beckett, and the charismatic but slightly irresponsible Jax. Summer is a fantastic character herself, the type-A reporter from Manhattan that finds herself falling in love with Blue Moon, and a certain sexy farmer, after doing an article on the Pierce Family Farm. She’s afraid to open herself to love, and deviate from her carefully curated plans of future career path, but learns that those carefully laid out plans, might not actually what she needs in life and learns the importance of having a good support group and learning to let others in and be open to love.

This book was emotionally touching at times and deliciously spicy at others, but overall warmed my heart and kept me glued to the pages!

A big thanks to NetGalley for a copy of this book!

Lucy Score has a way of making me so comfortable and at home with her writing.
This was sweet, cute, and light. I don't have to put to much pressure on reading her books, and can cozy right up!
I love that <3

Summer has her life planned out. She's making her way up in the cut throat magazine industry in NYC. When she goes on assignment for a week at Pierce Acres, an organic farm she doesn't expect to be so attracted to the owner, Carter! Even though the sparks are obvious, she has so many reasons to fight them. But will Carter make her forget all those reasons? Or will her secrets keep her from choosing love?
I've been a fan of the Lucy Score books I've read and this one wasn't an exception. I love the relationships between the Pierce brothers, their mom, and between Summer and Carter. This is the first in a series, so I'm excited to see how the story continues.
I was given a copy of this from @netgalley in exchange for my review. It has already been published, so go grab it!

This was a cute book. Carter and Summer were fun together and I liked seeing her fall in love with him and the town. I think I wanted a bit more tension overall in the book but it was fun.

I love a good small town romance and I love Lucy Score’s books. Her Blue Moon series is one I hadn’t read yet though, so with Bloom Books re-releasing the books with gorgeous new covers, it seemed like the perfect time to finally dive in.

The story centers on Summer Lentz, a journalist from the city, and Carter Pearce, the organic farmer she has been sent to Blue Moon to interview. Carter has recently returned from serving in Afghanistan and is still on the road to recovery. All Carter wants is peace and no distractions, so he’s not overly excited that he’s going to have to entertain a nosy journalist for a week. Once Carter meets Summer, however, he can’t deny that he is attracted to her.

With her designer wardrobe and her workaholic tendencies, Summer may be a bit out of place in Blue Moon, but she is still determined to fit in as best as she can and even agrees to work on the farm while conducting her interviews with Carter and his family. The more time she and Carter spend together, the more it becomes clear that she is just as attracted to Carter as he is to her. How could they possibly make a relationship work though when Summer is only there for a week and especially when it turns out she has some secrets that could really get in the way?

This book was so fun! I loved the town of Blue Moon with its quirky residents who all seem to think they’re matchmakers. There’s so much personality in the town that it’s practically its own character in the book! I also adored the chemistry between Summer and Carter, especially the way she keeps getting under his skin with her probing questions, which leads to lots of fun banter and later some spicy goodness!

I also loved the whole Pearce family and can’t wait to read more about them as the series continues.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

Adored!!! Another Lucy hit with me!

In No More Secrets we meet city girl Summer who is just in town working on a magazine article about Carter’s organic farm. There is an instant attraction between Summer and Carter but Summer is only there for a short time so why start something. But the heart wants what the heart wants.

The people in Blue Moon are so lovable and it makes you want to live there. I absolutely adored the side characters and how lighthearted and humorous this book is. The perfect cozy fall book! I can’t wait to read the second book in this series!

Summer is doing an article on Carter's farm and stays with him for a week. She met his family, friends and Blue Moon's residents. She love his life, far from the one she has in NYC.
This book has everything I about about small town : Gossip, friendship, funny and loving family, and of course a tortured book boyfriend.
I really enjoy my reading!

No one can make me love an entire fictional town and all its’ characters the way Lucy Score can.

Thank you NetGalley and Bloom Books for the ARC of this story before it was re-published.

Lucy Score writes the most lovely, cozy stories! I love getting to revisit her earlier work as they are republished. Carter and June have my whole heart as they navigate their own journeys of healing and growth, and then come together for their own perfect little love story. I appreciated the low angst, full heart story here, especially meeting the lovely small town of Blue Moon Bend! I can't wait to go back there in the rest of this series.

thank you for the arc :)

No More Secrets brought all the joyful hallmarks of a Lucy Score novel, humor, warmth and love. The vivid storytelling placed me right on the farm with the family. It was an enjoyable read with awesome character and plot development.

The secret Summer was keeping could have been addressed a bit differently, as I found it repetitive and not suspenseful but that did detract from my enjoyment of the book.
