This was a super cute book! I really loved the tension between Summer and Carter and the farm setting was just adorable. Clementine is chaos and I loved every minute of it! The dual third person POV was a little odd but it didn't distract too much from the story. What did feel weird was just how quickly the end wrapped up. It was like SURPRISE, and then end. So I would have liked a little more wrap up of the overall story instead of it feeling rushed. However! I still really enjoyed it and would recommend it for lovers of country boy x farm girl trope!

Thank you to Bloom, Lucy Score, and NetGalley for giving me an eARC of No More Secrets in exchange for my honest review.

No More Secrets is a delightful small-town romance featuring Carter Pierce and Summer Lentz. Summer is a journalist from NYC who is in Blue Moon for the week staying with Carter to interview him and his family about his farm. Summer is out of place in Blue Moon, wearing designer clothes and working non-stop. She is also hiding a secret both from Carter and everyone else in her life. Carter is someone who has PTSD after returning from Afghanistan. He has no intentions of opening up to this reporter, and is only doing it because he knows it will make his mother happy. Throughout the course of the week together, Carter and Summer are drawn to each other in ways neither of them could have predicted or could have asked for.

Honestly, this is an insta-lovers done right in many ways. I loved Summer and Carter together, I thought they complemented each other well while also pushing each other to be the best versions of themselves. I just wish that we would have gotten more about their backstory. I wanted to know more about their motivations and why they behave the way that they do. I would have loved just a little bit more about each of them. I also feel like given the tension with Summer and her parents, that is something that needed to be flushed out more. It felt like that was thrown in there and while the explanation behind it made sense, the resolution to it felt rushed and forced in a way. I just feel like there were conversations and details that were left out in general when it came to the characters and the plots. I will say that I LOVED Blue Moon. There is something so endearing about a small town romance. You fall in love with all of the characters in the town and their roles trying to play match makers. I want to return to Blue Moon over and over again. Score did a great job creating a town that felt real. I was sad to leave it when the book ended and cannot wait to return to it for book two and learn more about side characters from this book.

First in a series being re-released. I loved the brothers connection, hilarious! I found the main characters to have a great connection too and it was organic sweet and evolved well! I may even read the rest of series (which I believe can be done stand alone)

This was a cute story. The characters were fairly surface level, except for a small storyline here & there.

The town and towns people were wonderfully written. The author illustrated the town via her words, and it was lovely.

If you want a quick, easy read, this is for it.

Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.

No More Secrets by Lucy Score is a delightfully heartwarming
small town romance sure to have you falling for this epic couple & the best small town. This is the epitome of the idyllic small town that showcases the definition of community & makes me want to move there.

No More Secrets is book #1 in the Blue Moon series & the perfect start to a series.

No More Secrets is great for friends of…
💚 Small Town Romance
💚 Opposites Attract
💚 Journalist x Farmer
💚 Forced Proximity
💚 Mental Health Representation (PTSD)

This just further cemented my love & appreciation of Lucy Score’s work. In the author’s note, she declares Blue Moon her happy place & I couldn’t agree more. I am ecstatic to learn that this is a series & I cannot wait to keep reading it.

I could see this being made into a movie or a TV show. This had my heart all over the place in the best way. It has swoon worthy moments mixed with humor, epic family, individual journeys & the best love story. I cannot wait to see the brothers & other townsfolk fall in love.

If you’re like me & somehow missed this incredible series but are a big Lucy Score fan, this series is not to be missed & I loved it just as must as the Knockmeout series!

& if you haven’t read a Lucy Score but love the warmest & welcoming small towns & love that gives you the feels, I highly recommend reading No More Secrets!

Massive thanks to NetGalley & Bloom Books for the gifted copy, which I voluntarily read & reviewed.

I’m a Lucy Score fan through and through. This was another win in my book. Small town/found family. Could have done without the late in the book conflict or more development of it, but still loved this one!

Summer is doing a weeklong interview and writing a piece on Pierce Acres, a family owned farm. During her stay there she quickly starts loving everything about the farm. Summer loves the farm but she's scared to give up her dreams and start somewhere new.

This was a cute cozy read. It’s a small town romance. I really liked the story , it had me laughing and crying. I love how we really got to know all the characters but it didn't take away from the plot of the story. The Pierce brothers have my heart , they are all so sweet. I’m so excited to read about their growth and love interests. The way that Lucy Score paints the picture of the town makes you want to go to Blue Moon Bend and experience everything yourself ; The sense of belonging, the characters, and the food.

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!

3.75⭐️
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.

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.
