Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! No spoilers. Beyond amazing I enjoyed this book so very much. The characters and storyline were fantastic. The ending I did not see coming Could not put down nor did I want to. Truly Amazing and appreciated the whole story. This is going to be a must read for many many readers. Maybe even a book club pick.

I loved this book, I knew from the first book that Lucian and Solane story would be good, we have got teased with hints for two books before and it didn’t disappoint. I loved how solane character was dealing with grief and trying to find her place in this new world with out her dad I loved how Lucian was always there for her even though they both fought it the whole way. I loved their chemistry so much! He was the perfect suit daddy! and all the things he did for her made me swoon. I like the drama in this one to, and felt like it really had the plot move along good. I loved getting back into the this small town with all the pervious characters we loved. I also loved the dual timelines and getting to know what happened between them all those years ago, especially about Lucian’s past. I am sad to see knockemout go but happy to read this series! The only thing negative I could say would be I wish her books where a little bit shorter! But other then that I love it

’m not ready to say goodbye to Knockemout and all it’s characters. I knew from the moment they were introduced that Lucian and Sloane would be my favorite couple. And I was not wrong when they’re book came about!

Lucy Score has created another successful and memorable trilogy, and the legacy that her characters will leave behind is my favorite part. Lucian is a force to be reckoned with and Sloane is her own capable force. I have to say that I quite enjoyed their banter and arguing with one another, it just seemed so them. What I liked the most about their story was deeply they were connected in the past and how they operated in the future. Sloane’s character is working through grief and threats, and Lucian is working to catch Anthony Hugo. These two come together in a perfect way.

And not to mention the spicy moments between the two, because oh my gosh. Lucian and Sloane have such chemistry in and out of the bedroom, and I thoroughly enjoyed reading about them. It was a comfort to have Knox and Naomi, and Nash and Lina all throughout the story. I shall forever remember these beautiful characters!

Lucy Score knocks it out of the park again! If you've read the previous two books in this series, you'll be stoked to read this one! Finally, we learn of Lucian and Sloane's story. It was the perfect ending to this trilogy! I do have to admit, I'm a little sad it's all over, I've enjoyed all of the characters and their stories.

Once upon a time there was a version of myself that didn't know who Lucy Score was and I pity that version of myself. I am devastated that this marked the end of this series.... I don't know how to process not having another book to look forward to (I know a novella is coming out but that's not the same.... I'll read it though).

Seeing as I love this series, I don't have anything to say other than how much more this made me love it. I can't believe we're saying bye to everyone but Things We Left Behind felt like a great way to close out this trilogy. I laughed, I swooned, I definitely cried.... there were so many feelings. Lucian and Sloane were such a solid choice to close the series out. THE SPICE? THE SWOON? I'm done.

Anyways, please enjoy. This was fabulous.

This was… way too much. There was just too much going on here between the main character and everything else going on with the romantic interest. Also didn’t love their relationship and thought it didn’t paint her in a good light. DNF

What a rollercoaster of amazing-ness this one was! God I had been waiting for Lucian & Sloane to finally get over themselves and get together for SO long. This one did not disappoint. It had all the spice & angst that we've come to love about the residents of Knockemout. I'm so sad that this is the final book, but I'm also so happy to have everyone finally get their happily ever afters and that we got to get so many SUIT DADDY moments.

Lucy Score - you knocked it out of the park with this one. By far my favourite grump and feisty female.

This one is out now wherever you get your books from & also available on KU.

Thank you Netgalley & SOURCEBOOKS (Bloom) for this advanced reading copy in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you to NetGalley and Sourcebooks for an e-galley of Things We Left Behind.

The long awaited story of Luce and Sloane. And wow, was it worth it. The enemies to lovers arc is always a favorite, and of course our favorite brothers (and their spouses) make appearances as well.

From start to finish, this story was a wild ride - arson, prison visits, and a rough reentry to the world of dating apps, Sloane is not living her best life. Until Lucian decides to move back in next door. Which is very unwelcome and which Sloane makes known. However, the bickering between Lucian and Slone turns into foreplay and from there...a relationship? Or whatever the two deniers want to call it.

So glad we finally have Sloane and Lucian’s story! It was great to go back and see what caused the riff between them and move from enemies to lovers. A great final book from Knockemout

This is why I don’t read series… I am so emotionally invested I want 93729202 more books!!!! I love this town, these characters, everything…EVERYTHING!!

I will never think they are too long and I will always think they are amazing and I will never believe I deserve them. I hate that they are over for me!!

Nowww I go to Lucy Score’s backlist!!! Wish me luck!!

This series was absolutely AMAZING. I savored every word on every page and I didn’t want the series to end. Each hero in this series stole a piece of my heart but….. LUCIAN….. he destroyed my heart. I am obsessed with the chemistry between he and Sloan.

Run, don’t walk and grab this series. You will not regret it.

One of my favorite books of the year!

I loved everything about this book! The setting, characters, storyline...all of it!

After reading the first book in this series, I was very, very excited to eventually read Sloane and Lucian's story. Even from book one their chemistry and tension were delicious - getting a full book about their love story? Hell yeah I gobbled this one up!  
  
Sloane and Lucian have officially tied Knox and Naomi as my favorite Knockemout couple! Their push and pull dynamic was electric - even when they hated each other, their physical chemistry was off the charts. I loved getting both of their POVs - getting to read about them becoming more and more obsessed with each other while also being in denial about their feelings was just too fun.   
  
It was also super gratifying to finally find out the source of Lucian and Sloane's animosity to each other - getting to the root of their tension really helped to develop not only who they were as characters, but also really raised the stakes of their romance. They had extensive, dramatic history - history that took them a long time to work through together, but the payoff really felt worth the wait.  
  
Altogether, I really loved not only the story of Lucian and Sloane but also how the stories of the previous main couples wrapped up. I'm so bummed that this series has come to an end - I really love these characters and the town of Knockemout. Fortunately, Lucy Score has an extensive backlist of books - and I can't wait to read more of her stories!

Easily my favorite of the series, I love our main characters and their hard heads! This is the first of the trilogy that didn’t feel like it was almost 600 pages. Constantly something going on, very cliche but in the best way, I really enjoyed this. This is romance at its wildest, it’s so great! Lucy Score really knows how to pull all the big cliches and tropes and twist it into something fun and actually romantic.

Thank you to NetGalley and SourceBooks Bloom Books for the eARC in exchange for an honest review.

An absolutely perfect end to one of my favorite series. I loved Lucian from book one and couldn’t wait to get the back story and see where this story went. I was over the moon, crying, screaming and laughing until the very end. GO READ THIS BOOK!

I loved Lucian and Sloane’s grump-sunshine, enemies to lovers, second chance, benefits only, “we have a secret feud that we won’t talk about” romance. The book has a perfect blend of hilarity, sweet moments, difficult real life issues, danger, and steam. There was a lot of facing ugly truths and past pain with plenty of snort worthy laughs thrown in. This love story is not a twenty something’s flowers, mood lighting, tweeting birds and traditional romantic gestures insta-love story. This is the gritty, messy kind of love with dark painful places in between the light joyful ones. Sloane is the head librarian in small town Knockemout. At the beginning of the story, her dad just died of cancer and she realizes she put the needs of her career ahead of having a husband and children. She is determined to do that now. Lucian grew up next door to Sloane but had a very different childhood. Hers was loving and nurturing and his was full of violence. Sloane and Lucian had a long ago past though only they know what it was or what happened. They only interact when mutual friends force them together at social events. To get to their HEA will require the perfect storm of events, examination of long suppressed feelings, embracing their fears, healing, and of course trying to bring down a mob boss. Lucian and Sloane are portrayed as real, relatable people who have flaws and loads of baggage, but are really just trying to do their best as messy fallible humans. I have a soft spot for the people who are a bit uncomfortable in their skin because they don’t feel like they fit in or are worthy, like Lucian. So I love when they finally see their truth and they get swoon worthy HEAs because they really deserve them. This is not an enemies to lovers story that tips into meanness or abuse. The MCs are clearly just emotionally wounded ones. At the beginning of the book, they have been “on a never-ending roller coaster of insults, sexual awareness, bitterness, and flirtation.” The character growth and development journey was done beautifully for both of them. The story was well written and included witty dialogue, three dimensional characters who grow, and an engaging storyline and will give you all the feels - laughing, crying, swooning, cringing, teeth gritting, and cheering with sweet moments, steamy scenes, laughs, supportive friends, messy families, painful pasts, danger, and all the heart squeezing love. This was a great book to end this phenomenal series.

This was the one. This was the couple I have been waiting for, Sloane and Lucian. There had been hints in the first 2 books about their past, but this is where it’s all laid out for us. How they are next door neighbors, become friends and when promises are broken the friendship ends. They have been at each other for so long that their friends just except it.
Score has shown that she knows how to draw her readers into the worlds she creates. And it is no different with Knockemout. Her characters are complex and lovable. That family isn’t always blood, but people who are there for you. They except you for who you are while calling you out for your attitude.
I was given an arc of this book by NetGalley and the publisher for a fair and honest review.

As always! Lucy did not disappoint! I absolutely fell in love with the characters and will always be in love with Lucian. Lucy put the perfect amount of suspense and “enemies to lovers”. So sad this series is over.

I must say, this book exceeded my expectations! Undoubtedly, it stands out as the highlight of the series, even though I thoroughly enjoyed the first two installments.

I've eagerly awaited Lucian and Sloane's story since the first book, and I'm delighted to share that it truly lived up to my hopes!

Lucy Score's writing style resonates with me, and her knack for portraying a tight-knit group of characters as a family is unparalleled, something I particularly adore.

The witty exchanges and undeniable chemistry between the characters sizzle throughout the book. Moreover, the epilogue, along with the extended one, felt like a beautifully wrapped gift for those of us who have been devoted to this series from the very beginning.

This was a great finsish to the Knockemout Trilogy. I enjoyed getting to know all of the characters. I know that everything always works out in rom-coms but that didn't detract from the story because it was easy to connect with each character.
