Things We Never Got Over by Lucy Score

Synopsis

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 doesnโ€™t tolerate drama, even when it comes in the form of a stranded runaway bride.

Naomi wasnโ€™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 wayโ€ฆwith fists and beer. Usually in that order.

Too bad for Naomi her evil twin hasnโ€™t changed at all. After helping herself to Naomiโ€™s car and cash, Tina leaves her with something unexpected. The niece Naomi didnโ€™t know she had. Now sheโ€™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.

Thereโ€™s a reason Knox doesnโ€™t do complications or high-maintenance women, especially not the romantic ones. But since Naomiโ€™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, thatโ€™s the plan until the trouble turns to real danger.


What did you recently finish reading

I recently finished Throne of the Fallen by Kerri Maniscalco.

Synopsis

Sinner. Villain. Wicked.

The Prince of Envy has never claimed to be a saint. But when a cryptic note arrives, signaling the beginning of a deadly game, he knows it will take more than a hint of sin to win and save his falling demon court. Riddles, hexed objects, anonymous players, nothing will stand in his way, though none of his meticulous plans prepare him for her, the frustrating artist who ignites his sin like no otherโ€ฆ

Virtuous. Darling. Liar.

The trouble with scoundrels and blackguards is that they havenโ€™t a modicum of honor, a fact Miss Camilla Antonius learns after one desperate mistake allows Waverly Greenโ€™s most notorious rake to blackmail her. To avoid a ruinous scandal, Camilla is forced to enter a devilโ€™s bargain with Envy, little expecting his game will awaken her true nature . . .

Together, Envy and Camilla must embark on a perilous journey through the Underworldโ€”from glittering demon courts to the sultry vampire realm and beyondโ€”while trying to avoid the most dangerous trap of all: falling in love.


I’ll be reading The Book of Doors by Gareth Brown.

Synopsis

If you could open a door to anywhere, where would you go?

In New York City, bookseller Cassie Andrews is living an unassuming life when she is given a gift by a favourite customer. It’s a book – an unusual book, full of strange writing and mysterious drawings. And at the very front there is a handwritten message to Cassie, telling her that this is the Book of Doors, and that any door is every door .

What Cassie is about to discover is that the Book of Doors is a special book that bestows an extraordinary powers on whoever possesses it, and soon she and her best friend Izzy are exploring all that the Book of Doors can do, swept away from their quiet lives by the possibilities of travelling to anywhere they want.

But the Book of Doors is not the only magical book in the world. There are other books that can do wondrous and dreadful things when wielded by dangerous and ruthless individuals – individuals who crave what Cassie now possesses.

Suddenly Cassie and Izzy are confronted by violence and danger, and the only person who can help them is, it seems, Drummond Fox. He is a man fleeing his own demons – a man with his own secret library of magical books that he has hidden away in the shadows for safekeeping. Because there is a nameless evil out there that is hunting them all . . .

Because some doors should never be opened.
