Highly anticipated sequel to Things We Never Got Over and WOW WOW WOW!!! This book is absolute perfection!

There is so much emotion, intrigue, suspense and humor - Things We Hide From The Light is absolutely positively exquisite!
The vulnerability Nash and Lina (ever so reluctantly) share with each other, Knox and Naomi’s wedding, and the emotional depths of all of the supporting cast - nobody, and I mean NOBODY portrays a small town as masterfully as Lucy Score does! I think creating communities, and portraying interpersonal relationships is her superpower!!!!

“You are not your father, hotshot. And I am not some unhealthy habit that needs to be kicked. We are all very different people from the ones who made us. You didn’t turn to me to numb yourself to the pain. You turned to me to remember what felt good. To give yourself a reason to fight through the pain”.

I read this book in one sitting, it’s simply unputdownable. I cried, I laughed, I was on the edge of my seat and I felt those deep emotions as if I was experiencing them myself. Once again the author gives us a lovable rescue dog, meddling neighbors, small town shenanigans and an EPIC love story with guaranteed HEA.
I highly recommend this book to everyone who loves to read a great story!!!

Studly Do-Right

Sometimes the body recognizes what the head and heart are too stupid to see.

The body don’t lie. Huh. Maybe I should put that on a bumper sticker?

It was a new addition to Shark Week’s Crappy Hour. Electrical impulses from the electrodes simulated period pain. Knockemout’s residents weren’t ones to back down from a challenge, and I had to admit, it was pretty entertaining to watch tatted bikers and buff farmer types line up for their turn to try to walk with level 10 period cramps.

The brother exited his house…through the front window…which was closed.

Important enough not to let you distract me with your magic penis.

I just know there’s nothing ballsy or brave about living your whole life behind walls. The real good shit doesn’t start until those bricks come down and you invite someone in. If you’re not scared shitless, you’re doin’ it wrong.

Don’t be a dumbass. You don’t let everyone in. Only the ones who matter. The ones you want to trust. The ones you want to let you in. That vulnerability shit is just like respect. It’s earned.

You went to Lucian for advice? That guy is one typewriter away from The Shining.

“You’re interrupting my beauty sleep,” Mrs. Tweedy said. She was wearing a housecoat and holding what looked like a martini. “You sleep with a martini?” Nolan asked. “This is my middle-of-the-night nightcap.”

“You are not your father, hotshot. And I am not some unhealthy habit that needs to be kicked. We are all very different people from the ones who made us. You didn’t turn to me to numb yourself to the pain. You turned to me to remember what felt good. To give yourself a reason to fight through the pain.”

“You’re everything I always wanted and never thought I deserved.”

“You breathed life back into me. You brought me back to the light. Let me have you. Let me take you. Say you’re mine,” he demanded.

“Being vulnerable doesn’t mean you’re weak. It means you trust yourself to be strong enough to handle the hurt. It’s actually the purest form of strength.”

I just finished listening to this book on release day. The narration is simply superb! .

Everything I’d Hoped For, and So Much More!

I didn’t think it was possible to love TWHFTL more than Things We Never Got Over, and I was wrong. It’s sexy and funny and sad and sweet and uplifting and suspenseful and quirky and oh-so-wonderful!

Nash and Lina are perfection together, and their story drew me in from the very beginning and kept me captivated until the very last word. Nash’s character gave me so many emotions! He’s probably my new favorite book boyfriend. Lina is a strong, sassy female character and she’s the perfect complement to Nash.

I enjoyed another trip to Knockemout, and visiting all of the amazing characters that make this series so entertaining. Well done, Ms. Score. Phenomenal job!

A Delight and a Surprise!
Lucy Score continues to delight and surprise me. She has evolved as a writer, and never stops perfecting her craft. Things We Hide from the Light is book two in the Knockemout series, and I never thought I could love a book more than Things We Never Got Over but guess what?!
Nash and Lina have that instant chemistry that I adore. As the police chief of Knockemout, VA, Nash feels the responsibility of keeping the town safe deeply. But what happens when he can’t do his job? Because reasons. (No spoilers here, folks) There’s more to Nash than the way h...

A Delight and a Surprise!
Lucy Score continues to delight and surprise me. She has evolved as a writer, and never stops perfecting her craft. Things We Hide from the Light is book two in the Knockemout series, and I never thought I could love a book more than Things We Never Got Over but guess what?!
Nash and Lina have that instant chemistry that I adore. As the police chief of Knockemout, VA, Nash feels the responsibility of keeping the town safe deeply. But what happens when he can’t do his job? Because reasons. (No spoilers here, folks) There’s more to Nash than the way he fills out his uniform pants, and I love nothing more than a wounded hero who is still trying to take care of everyone and everything around him.
Lina is only passing through town, ostensibly to visit her old friend, Knox, Nash’s brother. Or is she up to something murky and disreputable? Strong and bad-a$$ Lina is a wild card that we don’t know much about yet. But I promise you, the more you know Lina, the more you’ll love her. Lina is a cinnamon roll heroine! She’s sexy, capable, loyal, smart, and strong.
Of course, Lucy Score throws in an adorable rescue pet, vivid townspeople, a mystery, doofus villains, and some action adventure! This is a great book with many moving parts and a very nuanced story! I loved it! Nash and Lina are both strong, independent souls who are both coming to terms with vulnerability. My catnip.
