This was such an odd read - it really took some time for me to get into that I almost DNF ~20% in, but I enjoyed the writing style. I think it was a tad too long in the middle which led to a really rushed, almost out of the blue ending with
drug lords & the mafia showing up
, but the pros outweigh the cons so I'm leading to a 3.5*...I think.

This is one of the better enemies-to-lovers tropes I've read, because OMG, Knox is a complete douchenozzle, then he goes and says some endearing crap and immediately I'm all swooning again. But then I remember that dude is 43 YEARS OLD and he's acting like a lead in a YA novel. He was a total tool - a growly, incredibly hot, barber, but a tool nonetheless.

Naomi was such a people-pleaser and I enjoyed her growth throughout the ups & downs in the small-town setting. Knockemout is a great small town with a fantastic score of supporting characters. The bonus 2nd epilogue is worth the download that gives a teasing glance to Nash & Lucian's HEAs which I look forward to reading about.

i cannot begin to explain to you how much i love this book. like this was my school read but i definitely finished it in three days because i was so unbelievably addicted to it. 

knox and naomi are my safe space like actually. let me tell you bro. down on my knees for knox. rich, sexy, grumpy, protective. he calls naomi “my girl” and “daisy” DOWN ON MY KNEES BRO

let me not even get to the side characters. ATE UP ALL THE SIDE CHARACTERS. waylay, stef, all the honky tonk girls, salone. LIZA J. lina. bro when i tell you i love this book i might have to get a physical copy like actually.

anyways yes read this book. read it read it read it. you won’t forget it. THE PLOT? ate it up. THE EPILOGUE. y’all already KNOW ima sucker for a scrumptious epilogue. DID NOT DISAPPOINT. 

anyways who wanna be knox and naomi for halloween and if we fall in love i would be down… <3

This book was everything I love: grumpy/sunshine small-town slow burn romance. Added bonus of some not-so-hardcore crime. I freaking love this book. So much banter and longing and humor.
