The Knockemout series by Lucy Score is a collection of interconnected romance novels set in the small town of Knockemout, Virginia, focusing on themes of romance, redemption, found family, and overcoming past trauma through complex, often enemies-to-lovers or friends-to-foes relationships. The series begins with Things We Never Got Over, which introduces Naomi Witt and the gruff barber Knox Morgan, followed by Things We Hide from the Light, which tells the story of police chief Nash Morgan and his new neighbor Lina, and concludes with Things We Left Behind, focusing on the history between Lucian Rollins and Sloane Walton.

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.
