Carter Pierce and Summer Lentz made the book sparkle and pop with a lot of ZING as I was reading. I adored the chemistry between them, and I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough.
If you are in the need for a fun Rom-Com this is the one to get. You will be so glad you did.
Thank you NetGalley, Lucy Score and Sourcebooks for the copy of No More Secrets.

Lucy Score is the queen at delivering all those small-town vibes that most girls fantasize about experiencing at least once in their lifetime. And this book did not disappoint! It was a cozy, feel-good romance with some light comedy that had all the aspects of a Hallmark Christmas movie...minus the Christmas, of course. I look forward to those movies every year, so this is a huge compliment from me. You have some hot farm guys (three brothers), the city girl out of her element, and the neighborly community who will do anything and everything for each other. What's not to like?! I loved the characters and their stories. Clementine being my favorite, of course. I'm addicted to Blue Moon and look forward to reading the rest of this series. I plan to start the 2nd book once I'm done with this review!

No More Secrets is book one of the Blue Moon series starring Carter and Summer. This is a republication and one of Lucy's earlier books. Looks like the next two books will follow with the other two brothers' stories. Can't wait! Definitely recommend!

Overall, I enjoyed this book! I absolutely loved Carter and his brothers! Their relationship was adorable and kept me laughing. I fell in love with Blue Moon Bend and all of the characters that live there. It absolutely makes me want to move there right now!! And I enjoyed Summer and Carter’s relationship. It was adorable and swoon worthy, although I felt like it started a little strange. Lastly, I feel like the book was a little rushed at times, as things seemed to happen very suddenly and out of the blue. Thank you to Netgalley and SOURCEBOOKS Bloom Books for this read!

No More Secrets by Lucy Score is a cozy and steamy small town romance that is easily devoured and a joy to read!

I loved the story setting that it's such a cozy small town in Upstate NY, the people and found family feel that this story has. Carter and Summer were the perfect opposites attract and their chemistry was undeniable. Summer travels from Manhattan to the small and whimsy town of Blue Moon, Summer plans to interview the owner Carter Pierce, a vegan farmer and former vet who deals with PTSD. As Carter puts Summer to work on the farm, she can't help to ask more questions to help research the article she's writing but over the course of time, their relationship blurs beyond professional and chemistry is hard to keep away from each other. Carter makes Summer promise they'll see each other again. It's beautiful, emotional, whimsy, funny and spicy and sweet. It's got Lucy Score charm and I can't wait to keep reading this series.

No More Secrets
Is a nice light read, might be a bit slow but it’s also trying to paint the picture of a slower pace lifestyle. It is the first book in the Blue Moon series. The series opens with Summer, a workaholic Manhattanite, going on-site to do a weeklong interview on Pierce Acres, a family owned and operated organic farms. Carter is an ex-Army ranger who left with war scars and is now living a new life running Pierce Acres. He is sweet, protective, attractive and a vegetarian. He thought it would be fun to challenge the city girl by making her work for her interview.

Both Summer and Carter are very likable characters, as well as the side characters. The Pierce brothers are very playful and close. The mother playfully tells each brother he is her favorite son.

This can be read as a standalone but you are going to be left hanging about the other two brothers. I certainly am curious to know Jackson and Joey’s story as well as to learn if Mayor Beckett settles down too.

As for the plot, it’s simple. Summer lives in the farm in close proximity to the delicious looking Carter. The longer she is there, the closer she grows to the animals, the beauty of the farm, the sense of community and togetherness, and of course the delectable Carter Pierce. He realizes she is more than just a pretty face and body. He finds himself wanting her to stay around. Summer wants to stay but she has wishes and her fears prevent her from giving Carter more. Summer returns to Indulgence, her magazine firm, with a very respectful article but her boss has different plans for Carter and the Pierce Brothers. Summer is put in a difficult situation because of the article. She finally discloses her big secret. It’s an eleventh hour problem that is resolved quickly. So very low angst and there is a HEA.

This is a nice palate cleanser between intense books. You will love the playful characters, the idyllic small town and sweet romance.

A big thank you to Lucy Score, Sourcebooks Bloom Books and Netgalley for providing a free ARC of this book which allowed me to read and voluntarily provide an unbiased review.

This book was a fun read packed with so many fun, sweet and cooky side characters! I love Blue Moon. The people, the shops, the events, everything about it. The small town boy falls for the big city girl who came to write an article about his organic farm. I devoured their story, and had a smile on my face the whole time. Just a very happy read that leaves you wanting more. I love that we get more stories from Blue Moon.

Welcome to Blue Moon and the Pierce Family farm.

Carter just wants to live a quiet farm life and heal from his past.

Summer just wants to climb a corporate ladder.

Together they are magic, just like this whole town is, just like the whole family is!

I absolutely loved this book. I read it cover to cover and I want more!
I want to move there, I want those friends and neighbors!

This is such a fun, sweet love story. The characters were all so likable. I rooted for Summer and Carter all the way. The plot had everything a good romance should have, friends, love, some heavy scenes, and a few laughs. A wonderful beach read.
I received an advance copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

No More Secrets by Lucy Score

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I absolutely adore Lucy Score as an author. Whenever I have the chance to read one of her stories and share my thoughts, I always jump at the opportunity.

This story is about Summer, a journalist who is a workaholic and works for a magazine. She is tasked with writing a piece about Carter's family farm. Carter, a vet who wants to work at the farm and be closer to his family, is initially hesitant to have an article written about the farm. Despite this, he answers all of Summer's questions and also puts her to work, giving her an inside look at how the farm operates.

The chemistry between Summer and Carter is undeniable, from their first meeting to their first kiss, and throughout the revelation of their secrets. The story surprised me with its twists and turns, and it brought me to tears when everything came to light. I particularly enjoyed the family dynamic between Carter, his two brothers, and their mom. Lucy Score's authentic portrayal of characters is truly exceptional. I am eagerly looking forward to diving into everything Blue Moon has to offer.

Carter is more then ready to go back to the farm he inherited after his tour of duty finished up. All he wants is some peace and quiet but the people of Blue Moon doesn’t believe in that. They’re nosy as hell and so is the journalist who arrives to interview him for an article. His only option is to scare her away so he can go back to his solitary life but Summer is on a stubborn streak and will find a way to weave herself into Carters life.

This has Lucy Score written all over it but it doesn’t come close to the Knockmount series in my opinion. Although I really enjoyed the characters and small town setting and how it sets up the next book in the series. Carter has two brothers Beckett and Jax that I presume will be mcs in future books. I will be upset if they’re not, especially Jax because I’m already invested in his story.

I’m obsessed with the new cover, its just adorable. The small town and farm setting is really cozy and a big contrast to Summers life in New York. Speaking of Summer she’s such a lovable character and I continually found myself wishing she’d find success and happiness. Her work is grueling and dealing with cancer on top of that, I can’t even imagine. Crater has his own daemons from his time in the military but that’s not as relatable to me personally. Make sure to check for triggers before diving into this one.

It’s not my favorite Lucy Score book but I’m officially invested and will be picking up the next book sometime in the future.

This book was so much fun! The way Lucy Score writes banter always leaves me giggling to myself and at times cackling out loud.

In No More Secrets, we get to meet Carter and Summer, opposites in so many ways but yet their attraction is instant and steamy! I enjoyed the character development of both and loved all the easter eggs for the rest of the series. So many of the other characters and people in Blue Moon were lovable and hilarious. The ending is perfect and leaves you excited to read the rest of the series. Well done, a quick read and such a nice break from the non-fiction binge I've been on. Thank you to Netgalley and SOURCEBOOKS Bloom Books for this read!

As I move more into late summer, I love the lazy summer days books. The easy reading, steady-paced, low angst, humorous, read-it-in-the-shade books. This book is set on an organic family farm, with both agriculture and animals, and the vibes are immaculate.

Overall, you can tell this is from Lucy Score's backlist. It has her signature style but doesn't carry the impact found in her recent books. That said, it is still high quality. Well-written, well-paced, believable characters and plot lines to keep you engaged and coming back for more. It is easy to read, like a warm summer weekday evening. Calming and relaxing, easy to lose time, but still in bed at a reasonable hour. It doesn't have the hustle and bustle of a summer weekend, but yet you find yourself enjoying the weekday evenings purely for the easy pace.

If you're looking for a palette cleanser between heavier books, this is a breath of fresh hair and I'd highly recommend it for that.

Another amazing story, this one in a dreamy small farm town by Lucy.
Summer is an aspiring editor and blogger for a NYC magazine. She’s fulfilling her dreams to get the experience and move up in her job so that one day she can write what she wants.

Summer is sent on an assignment for a week in a small farm town where she is staying with one hot ex-military/wounded warrior/ bearded farmer. The characters in this dreamy little town make you want to move there.

It’s a very enjoyable and oh so sweet story that left me wanting more. I’m dying to read the rest of this series asap.

I enjoy Lucy Score's writing style. This one was a cute little story. Good for a light read. A woman who is a writer and blogger visits a family farm in hopes of doing a piece on the family and the farm. While there an unlikely romance begins to spark.

Summer is doing an article on the Pierce Family Farm. I love the small town antics in this story. The closeness of the family and knowing they have your back. Both Carter and Summer are dealing with things from their past. Carter is a dream. He shows her affection without even realizing it. It's like elementary school all over and it's endearing and hilarious. Think tough guy pulling a ponytail. She has dreams and is dealing with some things. She is trying to be brave and deal with it on her own. Carter is a rock and has a way of putting the pieces back together. I love how she stands by her morals. This was an excellent read. I couldn't put it down so I also bought the audiobook for when I was driving. The narrator did a great job of bringing the characters to life and it just adds more depth to the story. I look forward to the other Blue Moon books and I can't believe it has taken me this long to read them. .

I was expecting to fall in love with this series like I had with Lucy Score’s Knockemout series, but sadly that just wasn’t the case for me. I am not a very big fan of third pov books so I was a little bummed right off the bat. I enjoyed meeting the Pierce family, I loved their teasing banter and how close they seemed to be with one another. I felt very little chemistry between Summer and Carter and that made me a bit uninterested in their story. I haven’t decided for sure if I will continue this series or not.

No More Secrets was an absolutely enjoyable story. I loved Carter and the bond he had with his brothers, and it was hard not to love Summer. Not only was Carter sexy, but he was a handworker and loyal and Summer was no different although she didn't let people in easy, she was independent, determined, passionate and sweet. They truly were perfectly matched for each other, and I enjoyed the town and the people in it. This was a light, funny and steamy romance story that left me looking forward to reading more books in this series. I think it's a great story for romance readers, I know I'm looking forward to more and will be recommending this story.
