About Things We Never Got Over (Knockemout Series, Book 1 of 3) – A Small-Town Romance
Things We Never Got Over by Lucy Score opens with Naomi Witt arriving in Knockemout, Virginia, after running away from her wedding. She is not there to start a new life. She has come to help her estranged twin sister, Tina. But Tina steals Naomi’s car and money and leaves behind a surprise: Waylay, the eleven-year-old niece Naomi never knew she had. With no home, no job, and no clear plan, Naomi suddenly has to care for a child while trying to put her own life back together.
Then she meets Knox Morgan, a bearded barber who likes peace, coffee, and being left alone. Knox does not want drama or romance. Naomi seems to bring both. He decides to help her only until she is back on her feet, but Knockemout has other plans. As their lives mix, attraction grows, feelings get harder to hide, and the trouble around Naomi becomes more dangerous.
A romance for readers who want more than a simple love story
Some romance books move straight from meeting to falling in love. This one gives the couple many things to face first. Naomi is trying to make a safe life for Waylay while dealing with the mess left by Tina. Knox is used to keeping people at a distance. He wants a simple life, but Naomi keeps pulling him into problems he never planned to solve.
That creates the heart of the story. Naomi needs help, but she also wants to stand on her own. Knox wants to protect her, but he does not want the kind of emotional bond that comes with staying. Their push and pull makes the romance feel lively instead of easy.
Meet Naomi, the runaway bride who refuses to give up
Naomi begins the story with almost nothing going right. She has left her wedding, driven to a town she does not know, and tried to help a sister who quickly makes her situation worse. Then she learns she has a niece who needs care.
Instead of walking away, Naomi stays. That choice shows what kind of person she is. She wants to help, even when helping makes her own life harder. She tries to find work, build a home, support Waylay, and deal with people who often confuse her with her twin.
Her life in Knockemout is messy, but it also gives her a chance to choose what she wants instead of living only for other people. Readers who enjoy heroines who are kind but not weak may find Naomi easy to care about.
Knox Morgan brings the grumpy side of the romance
Knox is the kind of hero who likes rules of his own. He has money, a barber shop, a dog named Waylon, and a strong wish to avoid romantic trouble. Naomi is exactly the kind of complication he believes he does not need.
Still, he cannot ignore what is happening around her. His choice to help starts as a practical act, but it becomes much harder to keep things simple once attraction grows.
This gives the book its popular grumpy-and-sunshine style. Knox can be hard, direct, and stubborn, while Naomi brings warmth and care into the people around her. Their different ways of living create funny fights, sharp talks, strong chemistry, and many emotional moments.
Small-town life makes Knockemout feel like part of the story
Knockemout is not just a background. The town helps shape the whole book. It is rough, strange, funny, and full of people who know each other’s business. That means Naomi cannot quietly disappear into a new life. People notice her, talk about her, help her, and sometimes create even more trouble.
Why the story can keep you reading for hours
The book mixes romance with several other hooks. There is the question of what Tina will do next. There is Naomi’s sudden role in Waylay’s life. There is Knox trying to help without admitting how much he cares. There are also threats that turn personal problems into real danger.
The romance builds through time spent together, tension, arguments, help, trust, and physical attraction. The family side adds more emotion because Naomi is not making choices only for herself anymore.
Readers who like slow-burn feelings mixed with strong chemistry may enjoy how the relationship develops. The story gives the couple time to clash, connect, pull apart, and understand what they truly want.
