Another amazing book from Lucy. Good guy x bad girl and found family. This book was the perfect pairing to the first in the Knockemout series. I loved how this book built and expanded upon the world Lucy built in Things We Never Got Over. This one focuses on allowing yourself to be vulnerable and realising that it doesn’t have to be seen as a weakness to share this with others and can actually make you stronger. About bringing yourself back from the depths of darkness. I loved that it followed the same formula as the first, set in the same world, building on the characters and the crime sub-plot continued and linked to the original but was still unique, with different mcs, tropes, and themes.

⚠️ CW: gun violence, mental health, PTSD, medical trauma, grief, drug abuse and addiction ⚠️ Lucy Score has got me hook, line and sinker again! 👏🏼 This book takes us back to the small town of Knockemout but this time it follows Nash Morgan, the good guy chief of police and brother to bad boy Knox, who after being shot in the line of duty is struggling mentally with severe panic attacks and nightmares and feels like a shell of the man he once was but he refuses to let anyone know. This is until his new neighbour, Lina, and old time friend of Knox's sees through his facade. She's smart, sexy and not a fan of physical contact unless she initiates it but she soon finds out that Nash's touch is different and he feels it too. The connection between them is immense, it makes Nash feel alive and makes Lina worried that she can't resist exploring the risk. But Lina has secrets of her own and if Nash finds out the real reason she's in town he'll never forgive her. And even though she doesn't do relationships she knows that Knockemout has a way of getting under people's skin. This book was so, so good and gave me everything I wanted from the sequel to TWNGO!! I loved the good guy falls for the bad girl trope more than I thought I would and tbh I love a man in uniform so 'those scenes' were 🥵. I also really loved seeing a new side to Nash and getting to know him more as well as continuing to see the lives and goings-on of our favourite Knockemout residents. And just like with the first book I cannot wait for the next one! Overall, I highly recommend this book.
