Things We Hide From The Light

A small-town romance with a dash of mystery. Nash Morgan is recovering from an injury, but when new neighbor Lina comes into his life, sparks fly. Score’s writing is light and engaging, making it a quick and enjoyable read. While the mystery element isn’t as strong, the romance is heartfelt, and the characters are charming, perfect for readers who enjoy a mix of love and secrets.

4.5 stars!My most anticipated read of the year & I loved it! Lucy Score can do no wrong when it comes to Romance!Nash Morgan is a good brother, a charmer, one with a smile for everyone. However, his life takes a dark turn when he falls victim to a gunshot. While physical recovery isn’t an issue, he is plagued with panic attacks & nightmares. Amidst this darkness, a flicker of light appears in the form of his next-door neighbor, Lina. Lina typically avoids physical contact, but Nash brings out a different side of her, causing her to take risks & let go of her reservations. But she is hiding something & is sure when Nash knows about it he will not forgive her. And that worked for her since she does not believe in long-term commitment. However, once Nash figured out he wanted her, he was not letting her go.If you know me, you know that I am not a fan of vulnerable and fragile heroes hence I was not sure if I would enjoy this book. But let me tell you, I was completely blown away! I should have known Lucy can never go wrong! Nash is not only irresistibly charismatic & attractive but also possesses a remarkable capacity for compassion & understanding. His struggle with depression & anxiety was so palpable that my heart ached for him😞. The way he questioned his worth & struggled to move forward was heartbreaking 💔. I loved the way Lucy perfectly captured the complexity of his emotions & the difficulties he faced in trying to navigate his way back.And then there is Lina. Her own struggles with health during her school years only made her more resilient, brilliant, & unapologetically fierce. I just adored her! She becomes that catalyst that breathes life back into Nash's spirit and I loved every minute of it! And ofcourse, it was an absolute pleasure to see Knox and Naomi again! They remain my absolute favorite!😍Lucy has crafted a tale that defied my expectation, showcasing the strength in vulnerability & the power of love to heal & uplift. Emotional & adorable read, I loved it!

I've read the first book of this series but this is way too spicy than that.

It is not a regular rom-com book. I was not expecting such sizzling scenes. It was hard to keep the book down.

Read by a thread from the author,didn'tquite like it. But this is a gem of a story. The character of lina is so damn relatable.All in all, good small town romance trope book to go for...

The print is perfect. The cover quality is good. I got more than I was expecting. Really happy with this purchase

This book was so addicting and pure bliss covered in a beautiful pink & Lilly.Knockemout book 2, is the second book in the series with my favorite Morgan brother, Nash Morgan, a good cop, hero of book 1, who would do anything to save the town. While picking up this book I wasn't sure & was a little nervous about getting into it but trust me it didn't disappoint me at all, for me it was better than book 1. I read this book in two days or to be accurate in four sittings. This book was so addicting and pure bliss covered in a beautiful pink & Lilly design.In book 2 of the Knockemout series, we get Lina and Nash Morgan's story with the following tropes, hot door neighbor, friends to enemies to lovers kinda thingy plus of course the classic Found family trope. The story continues as Nash is recovering from that incident ( if you have read the book1) and Lina, Nash's ex, and now her BFF have moved into the town. She claims to be an insurance agent but she is hiding the truth from everyone. Nash Morgan being Nash Morgan hates to lie and be lied to, for his honesty and loyalty stand as his number one principal will he be able to forgive Lina or will it be the breaking of their relationship? Also, the chase to find and hunt down Hugo continues in book 2 which also keeps this book interesting and going.I love when the author just casually brings Knox and Naomi in between the book. It really melts my heart to watch them grow and be deeper in love & Waylay is still adorable. This book is an action-packed, rom-com book that you must read if you like the hot next-door neighbors and a found family trope with a little bit of spice.Although this book is nearly 600 pages long but did not feel like it, author create this environment of characters hanging out in bars and coffee shops, chilling and relaxing which sometimes made me believe that Knockemout still exists somewhere near Virginia, disappointed to know, it doesn't (i checked on google) Also, I am sorry in advance but I don't know how I am going to turn out when book 3 comes out. Can't wait to read LucianX Solone's story and how things work out between the librarian and him. ah...Low-key I also want to address that it's lovely how Lucy Score represented the mental health rep, Nash (who went through something major in book 1) I have observed the mental health rep in a rom-com book from a women's perspective but this time it was interesting to see how the author wrote it from the perspective of a guy who went through things and is now having panic attacks and memory loss (we want more mental rep male pov) Lina, too, who went through things during her formative years have a habit of closing and pushing people away, slowly and steadily opens up.Also, the last 100 pages were a chef kiss, love the ending sm <3

Really liked the book but the pages in between were in reverse
