Small town romance is certainly a comfort genre for me and this book was no exception. Are they predictable - yes. Do they have zany characters that don't seem real - sure. Do I still giggle and grin like a kid when I read these? Yes!

I received this eBook as an ARC from Netgalley (thanks to the author and SOURCEBOOKS Bloom Books as well!) - I did not realize this was book two of a series until I went to write my goodreads review. Thankfully, it was a standalone (overall) there is another couple in this book that clearly had their own book first but it was easy to follow as a whole (now I need to go back and read though!)

I liked the found family vibes and the support that the small town (though meddling at times) gave.

If you want a cozy read with some pumpkin "spice" (Hello fall vibes!) this one would be great to add to your TBR pile!
Rounding up to a 4/5

Fall Into Temptation by Lucy Score is a blissfully heartwarming small town romance that will enchant you with the love, charm you with their delightful town, humor you with its’ chaotic hilarity, entertain you with its’ steamy spice & warm your soul like a cup of hot cocoa on a cold day.

This is book #2 in the Blue Moon series, which could be read as a standalone, but the first one was an easy five star for me, so I recommend starting there!

Fall Into Temptation is great for fans of…
🩷 Small Town Romance
🩷 Single Mom
🩷 Close Proximity
🩷 Yoga Teacher Meets Mayor/Lawyer
🩷 Neighbors

Blue Moon is the blueprint for idyllic small towns with kindness grown into the foundation with the hilarious & meddling townsfolk whose antics are sure to cause laughs. I also absolutely adore the two families at the center of this story.

Lucy Score is one of the funniest authors I’ve ever read as she constantly delivers romances guaranteed to make you laugh & swoon. I consistently applaud her talent & always add any & all of her books to my TBR list.

If you are looking to fall head over heels for both the great small town & the sweetest love story, I highly recommend Fall Into Temptation!


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

I will post this on social media closer to release date!

Beckett and Gianna

We continue the story of Blue Moon, a small town where everyone knows everyone, the gossip line is hot, and anyone would lend a hand. Book 1, we follow Carter and now it’s his brother Beckett. This is a stand alone but interconnected so I would suggest you read in order.

Beckett..the Mayor of Blue Moon. Now that Carter is off the market, the next bachelor is Beckett. As he watches Carter settle down, he has to admit, he sees the appeal. Especially after he meets the new Yoga teacher in town. He is intrigued the first time their eyes meet. Oh, she is also his new tenant. And has 2 kids. So..complicated.

Gianna has finally packed up and moved to Blue Moon with her 2 children. It’s time for a new life. She has always liked BM, as her father lives there. There is word that he is dating someone so Gianna can’t wait to see what is happening there. For work, she was able to take over an existing studio so is opening a yoga spot. Everything seems to be falling into place. Except for the big crush she has on her landlord, and the town Mayor.

Another great read. Only 2 books in and love Blue Moon. The people, the town, so very interesting. Love the Pierce boys. So alpha and protective yet teddy bears inside. Look forward to the last brother!

I didn’t find this to be Lucy Score’s best work. From the beginning, it feels like the writing jumped into the middle of an existing story, as if the reader is expected to already have a full background of both characters. The character development isn’t full fleshed, and the story feels underdeveloped. That being said, the cliche-style romance still has an enjoyable element. You may not have a roller coaster of emotions, but it remains fun.

Lucy Score is an auto read author for me. So getting the opportunity to read her newest book was amazing.
This was such a fun story to read about a single mom starting fresh, and the local celebrity (mayor). Sparks fly and the characters are just trying not to get burned.

Thank you Netgalley for an arc of Fall into Temptation by Lucy Score

If Lucy writes it, I'll read it. She is one of my absolute favorite authors and the Blue Moon series is top of my list. This series is laugh out loud funny with emotions intertwined beautifully. Beckett is the type of MC that feels he won't settle down, but in blows Gia and her children and all bets are off. This addition to the series is so wonderful and I adore each one!

The second book in this small town series was as amazing as the first. I loved revisiting the characters and the small town. The humor, the heart and love in this book is just so beautiful. When a 3rd act breakup doesn't deter me from loving it that says a lot !

Second book in the Blue Moon series. Mayor Beckett has no plans to settle down but then Gia and her kids move to town and his world is changed. ARC from NetGalley.

Thank you so much to NetGalley and Sourcebooks bloom books for an eARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

The last few books I read of Lucy Score were from her Riley Thorn series. Which, while great, just don't hit like her small-town romances. Lucy has the valuable skill of putting two characters together that complement each other perfectly. I don't usually read books with single parents; I'm just not as drawn to them but in 'Fall into temptation' 'Rora and 'van as we meet them turn out to be these huge characters that grow the story in a beautiful way. In FIT we meet yoga studio owner and single mother of two- Gia. Gia is moving to the small town where her father lives to bring some much-needed stability to her children's lives. Little does Gia know that her new stepmom is bringing in 3 stubborn sons and a huge found family (and I'm a sucker for a found family). Everywhere Gia turns, there is Mayor Beckett. Gia's landlord, lawyer, mayor and maybe soon-to-be stepbrother by marriage? that part gets a little dicey but it's fun.

I loved the dynamic of these characters; I loved the steam- boy can Lucy Score write longing- and I loved the character that the town of Blue Moon brought to the story. Gia and Beckett try to resist their instant attraction due to the complication that dating your landlord/stepbrother would bring but after months of everyone else noticing the tension they finally cave and decide to give it a go.

This is a fun, quick, charming, found family small town romance and that really is the perfect recipe.

This sweet novel is exactly what my fall loving heart needed. I loved the romance and story of this book!

Gia moved to the small town of Blue Moon for a fresh start and she's determined not to fall for Beckettt, her landlord and the town mayor. Yes. well that's the idea but we all know what's going to happen in this sweet and spirited novel that has both spice and humor. Gia's kids are delightful. the town is cute, and the attraction between these two is strong. Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC. It's an easy read that should make you smile.

This book was easy to read but not my favorite from this author. It felt a little slow and I didn't love the MMC. I still found it entertaining and if you're a Lucy Score fan I say give it a shot for sure!

Oh Lucy Score, you’ve done it again. Fall into Temptation is her latest book. You won’t regret this book!

Looking for a new start for herself and her two children, Gia moves her family to the small town of Blue Moon and opens a yoga studio. She rents a guest house in the backyard of lawyer and town mayor, Beckett. Sparks fly immediately between the two, but Gia won’t risk her heart on a fling and Beckett just got out of a difficult relationship, so they agree to remain friends. Will they keep to their agreement or will they, as the title says, fall into temptation?

This book was such fun and I felt happy reading it. It is the perfect cozy fall book. The happy small-town vibes are strong and I wish I could live in Blue Moon. The love story was very romantic with just the right amount of spice. As a mother, I appreciated that Gia was a dedicated parent, as mothers are not frequently the main characters in romance novels. This was my first Lucy Score book and I look forward to many more.

First of all, I loved Beckett and Gianna, like all of Lucy's books, it makes me believe in love and laugh and sigh in equal parts. I didn't know it was part of a series and that there was a book before, and now I'm on a mission to run out and buy it to read.
Many thanks to Lucy, who as always gives us stories that touch our souls.

There’s not a lot to say, this book doesn’t nearly have the appeal or bite that the Knockamount series did. This felt like almost like a slog to read and I came close to DNF it. The characters have little to no depth especially Beckett the male main character and there’s no build up of the romance between the two characters. Just fell very flat to me.

I adored this book. Gianna and Beckett are such well written characters and both had a lot of growth throughout the book. Their relationship is sweet and and this was overall a fun read.

Lucy Score has done it again with "Fall into Temptation," delivering another charming and delightful read that had me hooked from start to finish.

In this story, we meet Beckett Pierce, the most eligible bachelor in the nosiest small town in upstate New York. Beckett's had his fair share of romantic drama, including a memorable incident with a former girlfriend that involved handcuffs and a flaming welcome mat. Needless to say, he's not exactly in the market for romance, especially when it might come with a side of small-town chaos.

Enter Gianna Decker, a single mom juggling the demands of her kids, a useless ex, and a brand-new yoga studio. Romance is the last thing on her agenda, but she can't seem to avoid the magnetic pull of her broody landlord and the charming, if overly involved, mayor of her new town. When her father's new lady friend’s "favorite" son, Beckett, enters the picture, the stakes are raised even higher. Their accidental kisses and sizzling moments of passion quickly escalate into a whirlwind of complications, exacerbated by the meddling townsfolk of Blue Moon.

Score’s knack for blending humor, heart, and a touch of steam shines through in this story. The dynamic between Beckett and Gianna is electric, and their chemistry leaps off the page. The small-town setting adds an endearing layer of community chaos that only Lucy Score can master so well.

As always, I thoroughly enjoyed this book and highly recommend it to fans of Lucy Score’s work. Her novels consistently deliver the perfect balance of romance, humor, and irresistible characters. If you’re looking for a delightful escape into a world where passion and small-town antics collide, "Fall into Temptation" is a must-read.

I really enjoyed Fall Into Temptation.I understand that this book was previously released with another cover. I probably would not have picked it up with the original cover as it does not match the story well in my opinion. The story had a Virgin River feel, which I enjoyed, it was just much spicier. I enjoyed the characters…especially little Aurora. I would love to read more about Beckett and Gia in the future! I look forward to more Lucy Score books.

Thank you Net Galley, Lucy Score and Sourcebooks for the opportunity to preview this novel and the opinions expressed are my own.

Lucy Score, making me love love again! She will also be an auto purchase for me, but she really out did herself on this one. Second is the series and it’s done so well that I want to pack up and move myself into Blue Moon. And this cover? Gorgeous
