Things We Never Got Over (Knockemout, #1)
ByPublisher Description
Bearded, bad-boy barber Knox prefers to live his life the way he takes his coffee: Alone. Unless you count his basset hound, Waylon.
Knox doesn’t tolerate drama, even when it comes in the form of a stranded runaway bride.
Naomi wasn’t just running away from her wedding. She was riding to the rescue of her estranged twin to Knockemout, Virginia, a rough-around-the-edges town where disputes are settled the old-fashioned way…with fists and beer. Usually in that order.
Too bad for Naomi her evil twin hasn’t changed at all. After helping herself to Naomi’s car and cash, Tina leaves her with something unexpected. The niece Naomi didn’t know she had. Now she’s stuck in town with no car, no job, no plan, and no home with an 11-year-old going on thirty to take care of.
There’s a reason Knox doesn’t do complications or high-maintenance women, especially not the romantic ones. But since Naomi’s life imploded right in front of him, the least he can do is help her out of her jam. And just as soon as she stops getting into new trouble he can leave her alone and get back to his peaceful, solitary life.
At least, that’s the plan until the trouble turns to real danger.

“Bearded, bad-boy barber Knox prefers his life alone - no drama, just him and his basset hound. But when runaway bride Naomi lands in Knockemout, Virginia, things get complicated fast. After her estranged twin steals her car and cash, Naomi is left with an unexpected niece and no plan. Knox doesn’t do complications, especially not romantic ones - but when trouble turns to real danger, staying out of it isn’t so simple.
The plot of this one was wild. It was full of impulsive characters constantly instigating and reacting to events in excessive ways - but it was a lot of fun! No wonder it exploded in popularity when it was first released.
I loved the banter between Knox and Naomi. It was also interesting that Naomi was so different from her twin sister. Waylay’s storyline was crazy, and I really enjoyed watching her bond with Naomi, Knox, and the gang. The found-family trope is my favourite, after all. Waylon the dog was another favourite of mine - though his name being so similar to Waylay made me shake my head a few times.
Overall, this was a relatively easy romance with an intense, action-packed background story. I binged it in no time, and I’d highly recommend it if you’re in the mood for a bingeable read. I’m definitely continuing with the sequel soon.”
