🇳🇱: toen ik aan dit boek begon, had ik er eigenlijk niet zoveel zin in, omdat hij zo dik is. Toen ik eenmaal begonnen was had ik hier totaal geen last van. Het begin verliep in mijn mening wat langdradig en het duurde even voordat ik erin zat, maar toen ik erin zat was het goed. Knox is echt een kan van mijn hart en bevat alles wat ik in een grumpy man zoek. Ook Naomi was geweldig, zij was de typisch sunshine die elke grumpy VS sunshine trope nodig heeft. Hun romance paste ook echt goed bij het verhaal. Het was een slowburn romance, maar dat vond ik juist heel goed bij dit boek passen. Het boek zit buiten spice en romance ook boordevol actie en avontuur, dit zorgde ervoor dat mijn aandacht steeds opnieuw getrokken werd. Al met al een top boek en echt een aanrader (al had hij van mij iets korter gemogen en dan vooral het begin).

🇬🇧: When I started this book, I wasn't really looking forward to it because it's so thick. Once I started, I didn't have any problems with this at all. The beginning was a bit long-winded in my opinion and it took a while to get into it, but once I got into it it was good. Knox is truly my heart and has everything I look for in a grumpy man. Naomi was also great, she was the quintessential sunshine that every grumpy VS sunshine trope needs. Their romance really fit the story well too. It was a slow-burn romance, but I thought that suited this book very well. In addition to spice and romance, the book is also packed with action and adventure, which attracted my attention again and again. All in all, a great book and highly recommended (although I would have liked it to be a little shorter, especially the beginning).

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!!

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.
