While the dialogue was cringey in places, I did fall in love with this book. Knox isn’t my fave male love interest I’ve ever read, which is why I gave it four stars, but I ended up liking him well enough. I adored Naomi.
3.25 stars*

When the phrase “sexy man beast” was used I knew that I’d made a horrible mistake.
I am not one to read romance novels or anything like that. I usually like to read crime, thriller, and dark twisty books. However, this book got me hooked. This is my first book by Lucy Score and it as all thanks to Book Tok and I can say this will not be my last.
I thought it was funny because she writes about a Grumpy Viking named Knox Morgan who encounters Naomi Witt a "Goody two shoes" according to her twin sister, which automatically reminded me of my husband and I. My husband happens to be a Viking and he happens to always be grumpy as well which made me laugh the whole time I was reading. I felt like I was reading about my husband. Although, I am def. not a goody two shoes but I am not a disaster like Tina. Just normal lol. Anyways this book has some spicy scenes way better than 50 Shades.
Knox starts off by saying that Naomi is not his type and she is a runaway bride which wants nothing to do with men but some how that lights a fire between the two of them. People always want what they cannot have. I love the banter between Knox and Nash and I cannot forget Lucian aka Lucy. The way Lucy Scores describes these three men makes me want a foursome with all three of them. LMAO.
Here is an example of when they both finally give in, "I was no longer capable of forming words. I was no longer capable of drawing in a breath. All I could do was cup his erection through his boxer briefs and hang on for dear life. When his lips closed over my nipple and he started to suck, the back of my head hit the fridge. Those deep, decadent pulls echoed all over my body and I had a feeling he knew it. He was too busy looking pained to be amused. I couldn't blame him after I got my first good look at his erection. It was arousing, intimidating. A thick, purple headed leader in the world of erect penises. I got a little dizzy when Knox fisted it."
Second steamy example, "I fucked her with my fingers, starting slow and building speed. I held her gaze with an obsessive desire to watch the orgasm I gave her ruin her. But I needed something more. I needed to taste her. She whimpered when I dropped to my knees. The whimper became a low moan when I pressed my mouth between her legs. "Ride my hand, Naomi. Ride it while I make you come. Remember who you are. What you deserve." Knox believes that he is not good enough for Naomi ut he cannot get enough of her. Which only confuses things for Naomi and it gives her hope that the man can change and that it won't just be "fast, dirty, and casual" like he tells her in the beginning.
The line that killed me and made me think that Knox was a big idiot, "I couldn't stop myself. Just like I couldn't stop myself from pushing us both to the mattress, my arms wrapped tight around her chest, holding her to me. I was still inside her as I plotted how I was going to end it all." Let's just say that it took Knox almost loosing Naomi and Waylay to get his head out of his ass and admit that he could not live without them.
Five Stars I recommend and I cannot wait to read Nash story in Things we hide from the light.
