I really enjoyed this book, truly a solid sequel to Things We Never Got Over! This one did take me a little while to get into- partly because I didn’t feel well and partly because I needed to jog my memory of the plot of the first book in the series. Let me tell you though once I started hitting a groove with the book it was game over. I loved Lina and Nash, they cared about each other right from the start even if sparks were flying as they argued. I liked seeing their relationship evolve. This series also has a great cast of characters. I love that this book is romantic suspense but also is sweet and funny and spicy, it really delivers on all fronts. I am dying to read Lucian and Sloane’s book next.

Rating: 4.5/5 stars

The sequel to Things We Never Got Over, Things We Hide From the Light focuses on Knockemout Police Chief Nash Morgan and his struggle to find healing (and, of course, love).

I never thought I was a Nash girlie, but it turns out…I’m a Nash girlie. This book had all the absolute best parts of its predecessor, including tons of supporting cast members (Lucian, my love) and a super strong secondary action plot line that I really enjoyed. It is also super sexy, and the tension between Nash and Lina *really* got me—it’s a slow burn for the first half, but so worth the payout we eventually get.

I can’t say my favorite thing about the plot because of spoilers, so I’ll just say that there is one thing I *hate* about most contemporary romances and this book doesn’t fall prey to it. The bonus epilogue is also absolute gold, and the teasers it offers for book three…ugh, September truly cannot come fast enough.

If you enjoyed TWNGO, absolutely go grab this one now! I loved it even more, and have a feeling Lucian/Sloane’s book will be my favorite yet.

Recommended to anyone, but especially if you like: small town romance; rom-coms with action vibes; slow burn stories

CW: Violence/gun violence/injury/blood; PTSD/panic attacks; misogyny; police brutality
