Thank you to Bloom, Lucy Score, and NetGalley for giving me an eARC of Fall Into Temptation in exchange for my honest review.

Fall into Temptation is book two in the Blue Moon Series. Blue Moon is small town where if you ask me, everyone should want to live. This book follows Becket, who has sworn off romance, and Gianna, a single mother of two. Gianna has moved to Blue Moon in hopes of getting a fresh start, with the added benefit of being closer to her father. Becket so happens to be here new landlord, and the two have an instant attraction to each other. However, unlike many insta-love stories, Becket and Gianna fight their attraction for a good amount of time. Becket because he does not want to date anyone after the situation with his ex-girlfriend, and Gianna because she wants to focus her time on her kids. Like any good romance, the two can only fight off their attraction to each other for so long before sparks fly.

I LOVED this book. I did not expect to love it as much as I did. The character development in this book was outstanding. Both Becket and Gianna grew as people both individually and as a couple. They brought out the best in each other, and neither would allow the other to be anything other than their best self. This book also made me realize that I want to live in a small town. Does this book romanticize the concept? Absolutely! But, it is a sign of great world-building and setup if an author can make you want to live in a place like the one that they write about. This book is perfect for all romance readers out there, those who love some good character development, and those who love to see sparks fly. I will warn all: there is a third act breakup, but it unlike many romance book breakups, this one feels necessary. Neither Becket nor Gianna could be the best versions of themselves together if they did not go through it. And of course, Blue Moon was there to push them right back together in a way that will make you giggle.

Lucy Score is charming with Fall into Temptation!

I always love Lucy Score whimsy that brings charm and funny and sweet in her stories. You can never leave her book feeling sad. Gia is the new owner of the town's yoga studio with two young children. Beckett is the mayor. As soon as they meet at the grand opening of her yoga studio, the chemistry between the two is palpable. The issue? Beckett is her landlord and their parents are dating which makes it all the messy but so much fun to read to see if they can make it work. Gia doesn't have time to date but Beckett makes it hard for her to resist. I loved the tension and banter between them. I thought that was well written and witty. I love the town of Blue Moon and all its small town charm and wackiness that comes with it. I loved the way that Gia and Beckett make it work and form a found family and he shows her how he can be there for her and her kids. I loved the sweetness and sass that came with this book. Lovers of the single parent and small town romance trope will eat this up! I cannot recommend it enough!

A small town romance in upstate New York. Featuring a single mom, a very type A lawyer, and a fun cast of extended family. If you love Lucy Score, this series does not disappoint!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for this ARC!

Fall into Temptation is a well-written and engaging novel that kept me hooked from beginning to end. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a captivating read with relatable characters and a compelling storyline.

Fall Into Temptation by Lucy Score is the second installment of her Blue Moon series.

In this book, single mom Gia and town Mayor, Beckett should not like and or want each other. They shouldn’t, but they do.

Ms. Score brings us back to Blue Moon and its wonderful townspeople and quirky characters. Beckett is kind of unlikable, until he isn’t. I rooted more for Gia to find her happily ever after than anything else and really ended up liking Beckett for her.

You can’t go wrong with a Lucy Score book and this was no exception.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC, all opinions are my own.

I'm in love with this little hippie town!! It's not often that second books of a series rate higher for me, but I enjoyed this one a tiny bit more than the first. The storyline was a little less cliche and more relatable. There were a lot more laughs and such adorable cuteness with the introduction of Aurora. The togetherness of this fictional family and community is something to be desired, especially for any of us who have never experienced it. And I think every town needs a Beautification Committee stat! If you're looking for a cute rom-com with small town vibes and eccentric characters, look no further! This book and series will give you all the feels! I highly recommend!

Fall into Temptation is book two in the Blue Moon series and highlights the budding relationship between Pierce brother, Beckett, and new-to-town, single mother, Gia. It can be read as a stand-alone, but I would definitely recommend starting with book one. Why miss out?

Thank you to SOURCEBOOKS Bloom Books for granting me digital access via NetGalley in exchange for my honest review!

“If you’re a mistake, I have a feeling you’re going to be my favorite one.”

Welcome back to Blue Moon and the Pierce family.

Beckett and Gianna don’t work. She is raising two children and doesn’t want a relationship. He is not ready for an instant family. They won’t/ don’t work. So why is there so much attraction.

Absolutely loved these two and her kids, and getting to catch up with my favorite family!

Sign me up for every single Lucy Score book, ever. I don’t think there’s a single book of hers I’ve read that I haven’t loved. I absolutely am obsessed with the Blue Moon series and I just want to move there and be apart of it all.

This one was particularly charming due to the kids. They were silly and such fun to read about. I loved Gia and Becketts relationship and just loved all of this. 20/10 would recommend

Synopsis: Small town romance. Reminded me of Lucy Score’s other series, The Knockemout series because this also revolves around brothers. If you loved that series you may like this one too! (I only liked Things We Never Got Over.)
Pros/cons: Technically this is book two in the series but can be read as a standalone. I will not be reading book 1 or 3, this was pretty awful. My biggest issue was that the male lead was a walking red flag: a jerk with a temper. Not afraid to manipulate and gaslight. Run girl, run!

Thanks NetGalley for the advanced copy, due out next month, but this was a flop.

Beckett, a lawyer and mayor of the town, is still mourning the death of his father and is having a difficult time accepting his mother's new relationship. Gianna is Beckett's new tenant and the owner of the yoga studio. She's moved back to town to be closer to her father with her daughter and stepson, hoping to start a new life. The attraction between the two is hard to fight, and you can really feel the chemistry between Beckett and Gia. The support of family and townspeople is the exact type of small town romance I go for and I really enjoyed it. I love Lucy Score and all of her books are just so good. While this book is the second in the Blue Moon series, it can be read as a standalone. I can't wait to read more from this series!

First of all I’d like to thank whoever came up with the idea for the new cover design bc it really was quite a change!!! Now we can get to the point… once again Lucy Score has brought the most realistic characters I’ve ever read and that is a huge positive point. Another thing I really loved was the setting, I LOVE small town romances and this time it was no different, I thought it brought so much more fun to the story. For me the only flaw was that some things in their relationship were a little tiring but otherwise I really loved it 🫶🏻

This story pulled me in right away. It was my first time reading the author, and though this is number two in a series, I didn’t have a difficult time keeping up.

She’s a single mom yoga instructor who’s just moved to town with her two kids, he’s the mayor. This small town romance was utterly enjoyable and I loved how real the characters came across.

Blue Moon sounds like a fantastic place that I’d love to visit but since I can’t do that, I’ll definitely be reading the other titles in this series.


**this one is a reprint of the same title, published in 2016



Thank you to Bloom Books and NetGalley for the DRC

I absolutely love this blue moon series by Lucy Score. Beckett and Gia are such a fun couple. He did not see her coming but cannot get her off of his mind. She is a single mom and does. not have time for a relationship especially with the towns mayor. but they continue to be drawn to each other. It is sweet, spicy and very funny. I highly recommend.

This one is not as strong or sexy as Book one. There was not as much tension, but ultimately very satisfying. I still love the crazy small town setting.

Beckett, a lawyer and mayor of the town, is still mourning the death of his father and is having a difficult time
accepting his mother's new relationship.Gianna is Beckett's new tenant and the owner of the yoga studio. She's
moved back to town to be closer to her father with her daughter and stepson, hoping to start a new life. The
attraction between the two is hard to fight. The support of family and town folks is heartwarming. A feel good book.
Second in the Blue Moon series - can be read as a standalone.

Back to Blue Moon Bend, the nosiest, quirkiest, and smallest small town around, with a fun assortment of "hippy, goat soap making" residents that meddle in everything. A good amount of snark, lots of feels, some laughs, and some tears - it will take a village to get these two to see they belong together., get ready for the ride.

I LOVED THIS BOOK. Beckett, Gia, Aurora, and Evan have my entire heart. Even the 3rd act conflict couldn’t ruin my love for this book. Blue Moon Bend continues to be a special town for me. Lucy Score is at her best when she is in a small town and her humor really shines here. Love these characters, love this world, love this series!

This was a fun read and my first Lucy score book!
I liked the small town nosiness and Beckett was great.

I literally requested this because I saw upstate ny and I was curious how accurate it’d be portrayed lol. I did not realize it was a second book until I added it to good reads but you do not need to read the first. I’m not a huge single mom plot person but this one I found the kids to be impactful and I did not mind them being there. Lucy’s writing can be hit or miss for me and I was pleasantly surprised with this one. While it was frustrating at times the story was cute and charming.

Jumped into this book without knowing its book 2, however this was a cute lovable story! Now thinking I really need to go back and read the first one!
Also love this new updated cover vs the guy on the front shown on Goodreads!
