Things We Hide From The Light by Lucy Score
⭐️⭐️⭐️ (3/5)
Genre: Romance
About 575 pages
After losing the competition for a dream girl to his brother, Knox, and being shot, Nash is struggling with his mental health. He feels like a shell of himself and is having trouble coping. Insert Lina… She’s a firecracker of an insurance investigator and challenges Nash in more ways than he could ever imagine. She is stubborn as hell and annoys the crap out of him, but oddly enough being around her soothes Nash’s anxiety. Eventually, the two come to a mutual agreement to help each other solve their respective cases and have some fun along the way😉 What could go wrong?
I liked this book but would definitely rank TWNGO higher. Lucy Score’s writing is easy to read and the spice level in this book was 🔥. However, I had two main issues. One, the story was way too similar to TWNGO. Two, I think Score moved the romance along too quickly between Nash and Lina. We never really saw them interact in book #1, yet it was 🔥🌶️ from the start. So I missed the build-up/foundation that was given to Knox and Naomi…. One more Knockemout book to go and it may be the one I’m most excited for. Lucian and Sloane have intrigued me from book #1 and they seem to have a past we don’t know about that I can’t wait to learn more about.
Favorite Quote: “Heaven and hell intertwined, turning pleasure into an exquisite torture. I wouldn’t survive this. But I already knew I couldn’t survive without her.”
