This book was so amazing. I loved every part of it. Thank you to Lucy for writing this masterpiece with such a deep meaning hidden that was only revealed at the very end.

The character of Naomi was written incredibly with the whole opposite twin thing. She felt the need to be perfect in order to balance Tina's horrible behaviour but thankfully she learnt how to be herself and make mistakes throughout the story which I think makes her a relatable and great character.

Knox was always shown as a grumpy character but we never really knew why until the very end. I thought it was nice to see him actually open up to Naomi because of how much he loved her. I really enjoyed watching his character development in the book.

The whole story and the side characters were really well-written and they all had their unique personalities, all of which were actually interesting. 

Knockemout as a town and a community has got me wanting to move to a small town and find myself a Knox.

I'd recommend this book to people who love slow-burn romances that are a grumpy x sunshine as well. The storyline is also great and if you pay attention you can connect small strings which makes reading much more fun for me personally.

It is a good book with many very good quotes to remember. The plot worse nice and all the characters was loveable but I just wish that the climax point was better made it. For me personally was a lot boring and not shocking or exciting. But other than that it is a good book. I and I will read the next one for sure.

I did not have any knowledge of the plot when picking this book up and was so surprised at how quickly I became invested in the town of Knockemout and its stories. I couldn’t put this book down over the last three days! Knox and Naomi are infectious and their stories made me want to keep reading. I found the characters to be interesting and lovable, and their downfalls made them even more likable. I spent the entirety of the book rooting for them in hopes that they’d reach their happily ever after. I’m usually not a reader of romance novels, but this one had me hooked! A bit of spicy content is in store for Lucy Score’s novel, and it made it even more interesting than it was to begin with!!

2.5

Not particularly convincing or well written, and definitely too long, but it had a certain entertainment factor and a few likeable characters.

Naomi is the good twin. She had her life figured out, 5 year plan, fiance, and wicked twin sister. Tina is the polar opposite of Naomi. Naomi runs away from her wedding to save Tina. Only to have Tina's daughter Waylay thrown at her. 

Knox the towns most eligible bachelor swoops in and saves the day but not until after he's made and ass of himself mistaking Naomi for her evil twin who has tormented the town. Knockemout- small town. Everyone knows everything. Gossip travels fast. 

Knox and Naomi end up intertwined in each others lives. Maybe it's for the best for the both of them. Neither have had success in opening up truly to those they love. Maybe they can for each other.
