Such a good read. Not the best by literary standards, but was so fun, witty, suspenseful, and romantic. Great enemies to lovers romance. So cheesy but I loved it anyways. I can't wait for the next books from Knockemout. Dual POV, first person.

3.5

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 liked this book. It was more violent than I anticipated at the end and the pacing for the last like seven chapters was odd but I liked it and I liked the characters.

5.0

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.
