It’s official...I’m obsessed with Lucy Score’s Blue Moon series and the Pierce family! Fall Into Temptation is the second book in this charming small town romance series and it’s another hit for me.

This time we’re focused on Beckett Pierce, a sexy, broody attorney and the Mayor of Blue Moon. Beckett also happens to be the town’s most eligible bachelor, although he has sworn off romance for a while after his last girlfriend handcuffed herself to his porch and set his welcome mat on fire.
That said, he’s struggling mightily to resist his gorgeous new tenant, Gia.

Gia is a single mom with two adorable kids, and she’s also the town’s new yoga instructor. Gia has come to Blue Moon looking for a fresh start after her divorce. She doesn’t have romance on her mind but can’t deny that her landlord is super hot and that she probably likes him way more than she should.

I loved that both of these characters were flawed and so relatable and I also really enjoyed watching the evolution of their relationship. The chemistry between them is electric so their attempts to keep things platonic fails, but then when they give up and try to keep things purely physical, that fails as well because they’re just meant to be together.

As fun as their relationship was, what really made this one such a wonderful read for me was the relationship that Beckett forges with Gia’s children. I just melted every time the youngest one called him Bucket instead of Beckett.

Full of charm, heart, spice, and plenty of hilarious banter, you can’t go wrong with Fall into Temptation!

4 1/2 Stars

I’ve read a few of Score’s books and this one is just as cute, spicy and fun as the rest. 4 stars because I always feel like her stories are drawn out in some parts, not deep enough for the amount of book she gives. Having said that, if any of her books/couples made it to a tv or movie adaptation, I’d watch them!

Gia and Beckett were fun to read!

Thank you to NetGalley and Bloom Books for my ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I discovered Lucy Score thanks to her series Knockemout and I really enjoyed her writing. So when this book was announced, I was really thrilled to be able to have my hands on it ! It's the second in the Blue Moon series though, so I had to read the 1st one.
Gia is a mother of two, who settled in Blue Moon as the new yoga teacher. She's funny, and smart, but also fierce and loyal, and she probably was my favourite character so far. She meets her tenant, Beckett, who also happens to be the handsome mayor of Blue Moon...
This small town romance mixes insta-love and single mom tropes, also with a found family one. It was sweet, and I liked that Gia was not insecure towards her feelings, and not someone to fall into her thoughts.
I started this new series, and I will certainly read the 3rd one, focused on Jackson, the 3rd Pierce brother...

Return to Blue Moon, with the 2nd book in the series featuring the Pierce brothers. Town Mayor Beckett Pierce is not looking for love after a disastrous breakup. New to town, Gianna Decker and her two children, are settling in as she opens a yoga studio, reconnects with her father, and discovers the grumpy and attractive mayor is her landlord. Soon their complicated families and the town's beautification committee show that the temptation to give into their feeling is too much to deny.

I just love Lucy Score's books and was so excited to read "Fall into Temptation". It did not disappoint. I loved this story of unexpected romance and strong characters. I loved this one so much!

"Fall into Temptation" Book two in the Blue Moon series

by Lucy Score

Fun steamy romance!

Love Lucy Score!

thank you netgalley for the e-arc. i love every lucy score book. i love the range that she has when it comes to switching between genres and series she's written. she has the ability to write a romance in many different ways for many different tropes and themes. this title in particular, lucy score was able to write a "hero" character from a human viewpoint. he's her hero but is a totally normal dude that's perfect for her.

Lucy Score's "Fall into Temptation" has the perfect blend of romance and humor that had me captivated from the first page. The story revolves around Beckett and Gianna, whose chemistry is palpable and adds depth to their evolving relationship. Score’s trademark witty dialogue shines throughout, creating a light-hearted yet emotionally resonant atmosphere.

I continue to be pleasantly pleased with anything Lucy Score writes. Excepted for more of her books!

Thank you Netgalley for the ARC of Fall into Temptation
by Lucy Score
Book 2 of the Blue Moon series
Can be read as standalone as well
Spicy /small town / Shared space (she rents a room from him)
Family dynamics is a little off-putting
Gia is new to town, and renting from Beckett, thing is Gia Dad & Beckett's Mom are dating.. sooo not sure how I feel about this, the story aside is cute but i could have done with out the family intertwining. A little slowm dragged from time to time , not sure why this was rereleased but I am hoping the continue

Fall Into Temptation by Lucy Score is a delightful small-town romance that will leave you smiling. The story follows Gia, a single mom trying to balance work and raising her kids, and Beckett, the charming and eligible bachelor in town. Their paths cross unexpectedly, and sparks fly.

Lucy Score's writing is witty and engaging, and the characters are relatable and lovable. The story is filled with heartwarming moments, humorous banter, and a touch of steaminess. If you're looking for a feel-good romance that will make you laugh and swoon, Fall Into Temptation is a must-read.

It feels like a Hallmark movie, it was interesting reading about a singles mom
I hated to much how we can see that they like each other and when the third act happens, everything doesn't make sense, he just goes and it is so stupid because throughout the book he knows there's a reason why she is by herself, and when we senses something and doesn't ask, I don't really like it, and when he tries to apologize, it feels boring, I liked that she didn't just forgive him, and the kids felt sometimes like an adult is talking, which is a problem books that include kids have.
It looks like an interesting series but it needs a little bit of work with the male characters.
Thanks NetGalley, the publisher and the author for this book.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing a digital copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. This is book 2 in the Blue Moon series but can be read as a standalone. This one focuses on the next Pierce brother, Beckett, the mayor of Blue Moon who falls for the new girl in town, yoga studio owner Gianna. As expected after reading book 1, they quickly become enamored with each other but fight it off due to the baggage each would bring to the potential relationship. Thus, they embark on a secret relationship, all the while the town of Blue Moon is on to them, and secretly rooting for them. This enchanting town and Pierce family is what Hallmark movies are made of and I'm here for it.

I really enjoyed book two of the Blue Moon series even though I wanted to throttle Beckett Pierce more than a time or two. I appreciated the strong female lead in Gia. I equally liked the overlap from the first book; while it could be read as a standalone, if you already love the Pierce family you get even more bits and pieces. Children in books can be hit or miss with me but I felt Lucy Score wrote Ethan and Rora with authenticity. Complete page turner that I struggled to put down.

Thank you Bloom Books for the gifted ARC.

This is my first book by Lucy Score I’ve ever read, and I thought it was good. I love how the story is realistic in terms of characters and personalities - it makes them a lot more relatable and makes it more refreshing (compared to the fantasy books I’ve been reading.) The story is cute - he falls first - and the many, many interactions between Gia and Beckett were nice. What I got confused in was that Gianna’s dad, Franklin, is dating/planning to get married to Beckett’s mom, Phoebe. Won’t that make them…step siblings? A bit strange. Overall, I thought it was a good read.

Oh I enjoyed this soooo much. Even though it wasn't my favorite book by Lucy Score, I really really had a great time. I am already in the mood for fall so it was definitely a great way to start the season. Great story, liked the characters and as always loved the writing style!

This series has banter that is off the charts. I actually laughed out loud more than once and these Pierce brothers are just 😍.

Definitely read this series if you love small town romance and rom-coms!

This Blue Moon series has consistently been one of my favorites when it comes to portraying family dynamics and small-town life. Lucy absolutely outdid themselves with the second book in this series. It features a range of emotions, from heartwarming moments to tear-jerking scenes, and it’s a testament to Lucy’s exceptional writing skills that this book serves as a reminder of why I consider them one of my favorite authors.

4.75🌟.

I’ve read a lot of small town romance books and if i could choose one fictional town to live in, it would be undoubtedly Blue moon.
God, these people are nuts! Crazy but with golden hearts ♥️. I adored every single one of them.

Beckett Pierce the most eligible bachelor and Mayor of blue moon was such a wonderful human. I loved how big his heart was. He was a great Mayor, Son, brother and overall a sensitive and caring person. Likewise Gianna Decker is struggling with life after moving to a new town with two kids. Especially as she is recently divorced.
I loved how vibrant and chaotic she was. Like Beckett she was such a positive character. Together they were a good match.

The whole town and their antics and quirks added so much depth to the story and I can’t wait to Jax and Joey’s book.
Special mention for Evan and Rora. They were my favourites.

- Small town romance.
- Single mom.
- Secretly dating.
- Big loud, chaotic and mismatched family.
- Holiday vibes.
- Could be read as standalone and safe.

I received an advance review copy and I’m leaving this review voluntarily.

This was so cute and hilarious, it's definitely giving those sitcom small town vibes - town meetings, everyone is in each other's business, great found family atmosphere, lovely cast of characters. I only took one star off the rating because of the third-act conflict/breakup. The way Beckett behaved toward the end of the book gave me whiplash and it seemed so immature. However, the ending itself was very cute and the book is an enjoyable autumnal read.

This was originally self-published in 2016 and is being re-released by Bloom. It has all of the elements to be a successful rom-com, but the execution of them missed the mark. I like the Pierce family and the Blue Moon is a hilariously quirky small town. The third act breakup was so long that it detracted from time spent developing the relationship between Beckett and Gia. The entire book was too long and was a slog to get through. This would've benefited from having a strong editing team to really hone the story into something more focused.
