The final Knockemout book - Things We Left Behind 💜
Genre: Romance
Trope: friends to lovers to enemies
Format: 🎧
Audiobook Narration: ☆☆☆☆☆
Pub Date: 9.5.2023
Star Rating: ☆☆☆☆☆
“Grief had a way of infiltrating everything, even when you were prepared for it.”
All good things must end, and Lucy Score went out with a bang for her Knockemout Trilogy. I never imagined Score could top her other two books - I’d heard that she did, but I didn’t believe it. Well, I’m here to say that they were all right - Things We Left Behind was phenomenal.
The third and final book came in at 592 pages; every page was worth it. We had friends to enemies to lovers (new favorite, btw), adventure, humor, action, so many emotions, and some of the steamiest scenes I’ve ever read. I can’t begin to tell you how hard it was to read about the past that Lucian and Sloane shared, that we have never been privy to (I don’t want to give away any spoilers). However, Lucy Score handled their story with such respect and kindness that it made me cry several times. Then there’s the storyline involving Sloane’s dad that just wrecked me.

I absolutely loved this series and am so glad I took the time to read about all the people in Knockemout. I can’t wait to read more of Lucy Score's writing.

I love this entire series but this one is my absolute favourite. It's enemies to lovers meets small town romance meets second chance meets childhood friends. It is perfect. This is the kind romance book that doesn't leave you wondering how everything ended for all the characters because everything is wrapped up perfectly in the end

Let's say I was in a massive slump and I hadn't read a book in over a month and a half. I skipped the second one as it bored me to death but Lucian and Sloane were too interesting to skip this last one. So I'm currently addicted to this book!
The tension and the hatred towards one another I loved my god!
Summary! She's a Librarian and he's a rich company owner. They grew up together but she betrayed him so they've been at each others throats since forever. Which from the first and second book you'll see that in too. (Not going to say what happened)
The sexual tension wow!
Don't want to give to much away but the towards the end lucian melts my heart completely!
My absolute favourite book ever wasnt rushed or a quick read just overall such a good book definitely a 5⭐️ also love his little nickname for her "pixie" "pix"
He actually also becomes on of my favourite men from books!
I also love the secret things he does behide Sloane back for the library and her family🥺🥺
Spoilers kinda

I knew this would be my favorite. Second chance romance and enemies to lovers? What's not to love.
Lucian and Sloane had something in the past that they kept a secret from everyone. We know that Sloane did something to break Lucian's trust, but we're not sure what. When Sloane's dad passes it's clear that her looked out for Lucian and was closer than Sloane knew. Sloane and Lucian decide to get along to make the lives of those around them easier. Friendship quickly turns to more and fireworks fly.

So so so good. I think this was my favorite of the three. Each book peels back another layer of the Hugo mob family and this one was a great finish to that story. Sloane and Lucien are absolutely perfect. I love that compared to the other two couples the two of them really had to work for it to be together. They had to choose each other and put in more effort than the others and it felt very authentic. I think it’s my favorite of all 3. The second had the most action. But I think this one had the most intrigue.

I started off loving the first of the Knockemout books so much I had to immediately read the next. I wanted to love this last book because I was so excited to learn more about Sloan and Lucian but I just felt bored of the books. Each book pretty much followed the same exact plot just with different characters. I only would rate as a 4 because it was still likable and the spicy scenes were so good
