Bearded, bad-boy barber Knox prefers to live his life the way he takes his coffee: Alone. Unless you count his basset hound, Waylon.

Knox doesn't tolerate drama, even when it comes in the form of a stranded runaway bride.

Naomi wasn't just running away from her wedding. She was riding to the rescue of her estranged twin to Knockemout, Virginia, a rough-around-the-edges town where disputes are settled the old-fashioned way...with fists and beer. Usually in that order.

Too bad for Naomi her evil twin hasn't changed at all. After helping herself to Naomi's car and cash, Tina leaves her with something unexpected. The niece Naomi didn't know she had. Now she's stuck in town with no car, no job, no plan, and no home with an 11-year-old going on thirty to take care of.

There's a reason Knox doesn't do complications or high-maintenance women, especially not the romantic ones. But since Naomi's life imploded right in front of him, the least he can do is help her out of her jam. And just as soon as she stops getting into new trouble he can leave her alone and get back to his peaceful, solitary life.

At least, that's the plan until the trouble turns to real danger.

Jamie’s review

Disclaimer: I have only read the first book in this series, Things We Never Got Over. It was a fun palette cleanser read, a modern day small town mystery romcom. I actually found myself very invested in Knox and Naomi and the mystery surrounding Naomi’s sister Tina’s disappearance. I’m always a sucker for a good mystery. It’s my true crime podcast era coming through 😉 I also liked how the characters delve into how past trauma has affected their relationships, the author does it in a way that doesn’t feel like a therapy session, but same result. Well done!

Erica’s review

Disclaimer: I have only read the first book in this series, Things We Never Got Over.

Alrighty…plain and simple – loved. I read this book almost in one sitting. I was HOOKED. The mystery part of this book was MUAH and a freaking page turner. Then you add in hot characters, banter, fun side characters, small town drama…then, THEN some good spice…SOLD! There was a part, (I won’t spoil it), that literally had me sick to my stomach from PTSD of dating emotionally unavailable assholes in the past, but I still loved it! Because, like Jamie always says, I’m a masochist. Deep down I know we’re likely going to get a HEA so that keeps me going with these books anyway and I know the heartbreak and turmoil is short-lived.

I didn’t continue on with the series because I wasn’t into the side characters the next book features and I had heard it wasn’t as good as the first one – and nobody has time for that! Our TBRs are too long! I just don’t have time to reread Zodiac Academy once a month 😂 AND books I don’t really like so…

Conclusion – definitely pick up Things We Never Got Over if you like a fast-paced contemporary romance and read all 3 if you don’t have an 800 mile-long TBR or romance > romantasy.
