I would give five stars if it weren’t 650 pages long. 
Anyway— great end to the Knockemout series. I loved Lucian and Sloane. Lucy Score writes excellent banter and sexual-tension-laced insults.

Wow, what a great book. I’m a sucker for friends to enemies to lovers, and both Sloane and Lucien were great characters in the last two books. They absolutely brought it as main characters! And for vanilla sex, that shit was spicy! I’m obsessed. 

Dark Romance, Friends to Enemies to Lovers, Lots of Trauma, 3 3/4 🔥

“You can’t just keep putting your emotions in a box with a lid and expecting them to stay there. That’s not what feelings do.”

⚠️ CW: parental death, child abuse and domestic violence ⚠️ This book may just be my favourite read so far this year, and for someone who doesn't usually read romance that says a lot! Lucian Rollins is a lean, mean, vengeance-seeking mogul. Determined to erase his abusive father's mark on his family name, he spends every waking minute pulling strings and building his empire. The more money and power he gains, the safer he feels. Except when it comes to one feisty small-town librarian. Although they are bonded by a dark secret from the past and their current mutual disdain, Sloane Walton only trusts Lucian as far as she can throw him. Until their bickering accidentally turns to foreplay, fanning flames of desire that can't be put out. But with Sloane eager to start a family and Lucian refusing to even consider the idea, these enemies to lovers are stuck at an impasse. And when Lucian learns the hard way that leaving Sloane is impossible, he vows to do everything he can to keep her safe at whatever the cost. Wow this book had me stuck on such an emotional rollercoaster but I loved every second. I can't even put into words what this story meant to me but it hit so many personal notes and gave me all the feels. As with the other books in this series I expected the super spicy scenes, and trust me I was absolutely loved them (and suit daddy 🥵), but I didn't expect the incredibly deep storyline and those that have read this will know what I mean when I say that. All I can say is that Lucy Score perfected this so well and rounded off the knockemout series in the most impeccable way in my opinion. Overall, if you haven't already guessed, I highly recommend this one!
