Naomi flees her own wedding to bail out her troublemaking identical twin in the sleepy town of Knockemout, and within a day she has been robbed, saddled with a niece she did not know existed, and thrown together with Knox, a bearded, bad-tempered local barber who wants nothing to do with commitment.
Lucy Score's grumpy-sunshine romance leans hard into small-town comfort: nosy neighbors, slow-burning heat, found family and a plot that widens into light suspense.
It makes no literary pretensions - the appeal is pure immersive escapism, a big, bingeable book you sink into for a weekend - and on those terms it is enormously satisfying, which is why it became a self-published juggernaut. Score writes banter and yearning that keep the pages turning across its generous length, and the ensemble town is as much a draw as the couple.
For readers who love cozy, steamy, small-town series romance with a grumpy hero and a resilient heroine, this BookTok phenomenon - soon a television series - is a definitive comfort read.
