Oh, my Knox was this book good!

Naomi Witt is not having a good day. First, she’s on the run from her fiancé and a church full of well-wishers, but now she’s in some small Podunk town still in her dress and Daisy flower crown just trying to get a cup of coffee before dealing with her estranged hot mess of a twin sister. Except she’s waylaid by an angry albeit very hot Viking look man who thinks she is said hot mess twin sister who guess what? Is banned from this exact coffee place. Just when Naomi thought her life couldn’t get any worse, Naomi’s sister shows her true colors by stealing Naomi’s car and cash leaving her to deal with said angry hot Viking, who she now knows has a name: Knox Morgan.

Knox Morgan makes it his life mission to avoid getting involved with women, especially the type A romantic kind like Naomi. But after accosting her in the coffee shop and seeing that her sister has stolen his car, he can’t just leave her especially when they see that Naomi’s eleven-year-old niece has been left by her deadbeat mom. He would be content to leave her alone as long she could stop finding herself in new trouble. Because he’s not sure how long he can hold out on denying the undeniable chemistry they share.

But just when Knox thinks that he’ll be able to walk away from Naomi, her twin sister is about to make things a lot more troublesome for Knockemout and our main characters.

Have you ever put off a book for so long because it’s so popular that you’re afraid that it will be terrible, but then it turns out to be the best book you’ve read, and then you’re mad you waited that long to read it? That is how I feel about this book. I’m so angry at myself for waiting for long to read it because it was one of the better books I’ve read this year.

The chemistry between Naomi and Knox was equal parts frustrating and toe-curling satisfying. I love when the author gives us both POVs because it makes the payoff so much better to see how both characters are suffering throughout the book. Although in the case of Knox, it made me want to throttle his giant Viking self multiple times throughout the book. It was clear that he was head over heels in love with Naomi but was too stubborn to admit it.

The drama that came along with Naomi’s twin sister Tina was so good in this book. It gave an extra element of tension and suspense of when would Tina strike again or why she was even doing all of it, to begin with. Again the payoff of this extra suspense was so good because it wasn’t the perfectly wrapped-up ending, it was left open-ended and gave even more reason to pick up the next book in the series.

If you’ve been on the fence about reading this book, I highly encourage you to pick it up. I promise that if you love enemies-to-lovers romance with added danger mixed in set in a small town with a fun cast of supporting characters you will like this book!
