Okay so, I have feelings about this book. I loved the start, and adored the end, but the middle was kind of... Ehh? 🤷🏼‍♀️ I'm all for spice, but I really could have used a little less sexual objectification every chapter, and more relationship development between our main characters and side characters.
Saying that though, that ending was phenomenal. I laughed, I cried, giggled and shook the husband with cuteness aggression - an all round fun time. 
A really solid series though, and I definitely recommend giving it a read if you like small town romances.

The best out of the 3. Although I loved the first one a lot. Lucian is just someone you love no matter how crazy it gets.

This book was my favorite out of the Knockemout series. Sloane was my favorite character throughout the series. A librarian, tells you how it is and DOES NOT hold back her feelings. We finally get the back story of their on and off relationship. It’s a second chance enemies to lovers story with Lucian Rollins.

I have really enjoyed the knockmeout series. The first one was exciting and I loved the town, the side characters, the family focus, and yes the romance.  The second one is pretty emotional heavy and was slow for me so I was hesitant to go into the third. With that said, this third book is more a second chance romance you get flashbacks from the two character history in high school that’s been teased the entire series. Sloane is a bubbly, funny, and eccentric bookworm like myself that would do anything to protect who and what she loves. Lucian is the touch her and you die suit daddy of your dreams. Their banter is so believable and fun to read. Highly recommend this one of the whole series.
Spice warning I feel 4 peppers!
