I love a good small town romance and this one by Lucy Score is no different. There is something about the way she writes that is so real and pulls you in. Niko and Emma’s story had me laughing and crying (and going back to read all of Lucy’s other works). I cannot wait to have the physical book on my shelf to give to friends to read.

always love me a good old rom com and this hits all the boxes with added spice!
definitely love this series and each book gets better and better

This series just keeps getting better! I always enjoy Lucy Score, and even though I felt like this series started a little slow, I think the stories feel deeper as you get more entrenched in Blue Moon. This love story was steamy and sweet and kept up with all of the usual Blue Moon charm. Though in a rare situation, I was on the side of the MMC rather than the FMC when it came to the fight (that’s a twist), I still find myself invested in the relationship and picturing a HEA.

As always, I adore Lucy Score. She has not written anything that I didn't love.
This book (this entire series) was so good!
Opinion: This book can hold its own and be read as a standalone. However, if you do read this book prior to the first 3 books, you will read so many spoilers that it will give away the first books in the series, and you won't enjoy them as much. So if you want to read this series, I highly recommend starting at the beginning!
Nico and Emma. That's all. Iconic.
Nico - our bad boy, the famous photographer from New York. Never connects with women any deeper than surface level.
Emma - strong-willed, independent, and looking for the one. She doesn't do one-night stands or hook-ups.
The characters are so well developed - I expect nothing less from Lucy Score. The reader easily relates to the characters. Specifically, Emma, in my case.
The chemistry between Nico and Emma... whew! The undeniable and unavoidable attraction... whew!
SPICE!!! HOT AND STEAMY SPICE!
This book is witty and funny. I love the dynamics among all of the characters.
I don't know about anyone else, but each book in this series has just gotten better and better. Just when you think the last book cannot be topped, Lucy Score does it again in the next book!
I think this has to be my favorite book in the series.
Anyone else want to move to Blue Moon Bend with me?!
Add this to your summer TBR immediately. The whole series, if you haven't read it.
Thank you to Bloom Books, Sourcebooks, Casablanca, and NetGalley for the opportunity to receive this book for review!
Happy Reading!

You can never go wrong with a Lucy Score book. She is always an auto-buy author for me and a comfort read. Not part of the plan is going to be that curl up with a good book on a weekend perfect lazy day read.

I’m usually a huge fan of anything Lucy Score writes, but this one just didn’t click for me—I ended up DNF’ing at around 35%.
