Okay the silliness and believability tips over into the ridiculous and unbelievable in this one. Still love the characters and the fun but I need at least some elements of reality in my contemporary romances. Anyway, it’s a fun book. But it’s Not a romance novel. And I need more in my romance novels than dog poop and farting.

I LOVE THIS SERIES!!!

Thriller/mystery, comedy, and romance all together. Put reading this book at the top of your to-do list.

Really enjoy this series. Shenanigans from beginning to end & it makes the story go by quickly in a great way.

Lucy’s cozy mysteries have become a favorite here at home. The third novel in this series, brings the same vibes.

This was quirky, and a little silly. But I felt like the plot felt a hair short compared to the other two already released novels. This novel still encompasses the entirety of the heart and romance the other two have, with just the right pacing.

This small town, second chance mystery full of chaos and hilarious fun will keep you entertained from start to finish.

Thank you NetGalley for allowing me to receive this item or an honest review.

Lucy Score is a new author for me and I am so glad I found her. This book was funny and witty and if you looking for a change, I recommend checking this one out.

Thank you so much for the arc! I absolutely love Lucy Score and her writing! After reading a different series of hers, I’ve immediately wanted to read all her other books. This series was so much fun and I loved it! More in depth review to come!

Love love LOVE this book! It did take me a bit to get into the book, but once I did I couldn't put it down! Lucy Score never fails to make me laugh out loud one second to swooning the next.

The Blast from the Past is the third book in the Riley Thorn series and just like the previous books, it's a cozy mystery with a bit of humour in it. This was a quick read but i felt like the plot was a bit lacking comparing with the previous ones. I really liked the story and i'm eager to dive into the next one.

Lucy score write incredible banter and cute fluffy romances, I just had a hard time getting into this one!

Lucy Score’s Blast from the Past is everything I needed—laugh-out-loud moments, a second-chance romance, and small-town chaos that feels like a warm hug. If you’re into banter, swoon, and all the feels, this one’s for you, book babes!

Blast from the Past by Lucy Score is an absolute delight! This book combines humor, heart, and just the right amount of romance, making it a must-read. The characters are lovable, the dialogue is sharp and witty, and the story has the perfect mix of nostalgia and fresh excitement. I couldn't put it down and recommend it to anyone who loves a feel-good, laugh-out-loud read. Lucy Score does it again!

I usually LOVE a Lucy Score Book but.... this one was just defeating for me I couldn't get past the first 20% no matter how many times I tried.. Unfortunately, this one just wasn't connecting with me. . Sometimes, things simply don't work out. Right Book wrong time perhaps. Therefore I will not be posting this review to any other platforms.

A great read! Not too heavy, light and comedic. Lucy score is always the way to go when you’re ready to curl up in a blanket with a book that won’t tear you to shreds.

Lucy Score did it again- another fun short enjoyable read. Only reason this is not 5 stars is I personally didn’t connect as much as I thought I would from her other books but I want to stress that is on me - not the book.

So funny. I absolutely love this series and it’s definitely one of my favs. Riley and her geriatric roommates are always hilarious. And her relationship with Nick is always sweet and spicy.

I have usually loved Lucy Score's books, but I'm sad to say this series was a miss. I had a hard time connecting or caring about these characters. It also felt like these books were longer than they needed to be. I'm disappointed because I wanted to love this series, too. I bet others will enjoy this series.

This book is even funnier than the last; I don't know how she does it! Reading this was like watching a sitcom. Every quirky character, all the sharp wit and of course the glue that holds it all together, the charming and adorably dimpled Nick.

I have liked many Lucy Score books, however this book was my least favorite that I have ever read! It felt somewhat pointless, and the story felt like it was dragging! I kept finding myself wanting more about Jasmine, and Weber and far less about Sesame and Tommy. I didn't find their characters interesting or relatable. I also really didn't enjoy the treatment that Riley got from Nick and how she just accepted it because he was throwing himself into Beth's missing person case. I get it to an extent, but it seems unfair and disrespectful to an extent, and she allowed the treatment to be given to her and she deserved more.
I am excited for the next book more so I think, and I've been told the next book is worth dragging yourself through this one, so I will be continuing for sure!

3.5-4 stars!
This is a cozy mystery and it was crazy funny! Such a cast of quirky characters and over the top shenanigans!! I will definitely need to dive into the 4th book, as this ended on a “to be continued….” :)

I also need to catch up and read the first two books in the series to learn more about how Riley & Nick met, etc.! I was worried about keeping track of all the characters, but the writing flowed so well, and it was easy to follow! I loved Nick & Riley together and separately! So many funny scenes! Nick’s surprise party! Hilarious! First book by this author, and I will definitely be jumping into more!

Thank you to NetGalley, the author, and publisher for an advanced copy of the ebook in exchange for an honest review!

Another fantastic installment! This book was a quick read for me, and I loved every moment of it. Nick and Riley continue to be such a fantastic duo, and I’m still completely invested in their journey. Weber has quickly become one of my favorite side characters—his charm and humor are just irresistible. And Wander and Gabe? Absolutely adorable, as always!

While I enjoyed the book overall, I will say that the plot didn’t quite hit the same high notes as the previous installments. Specifically, I found Sesame/Beth to be a bit insufferable, and honestly, I had a hard time caring about her storyline at all. Despite that, I still loved this book just as much as the first two, and I’m already eager to dive into the fourth one to see where the gang’s adventures take them next!
