You’re asking about the perfect entry point to Lucy Score’s Knockemout universe, because starting in the right spot makes all the difference. The only book that directly leads into 'Things We Never Got Over' is its immediate sequel, 'Things We Hide from the Light', which focuses on Nash Morgan and Lina. The third book, 'Things We Left Behind', concludes the trilogy with Lucian and Sloane’s story. These three books form a tightly connected narrative arc set in the same town, with overlapping characters and ongoing plot threads, so reading them in that order—'Things We Never Got Over', then 'Things We Hide from the Light', then 'Things We Left Behind'—is essential.
Many of her other novels, like 'By a Thread' or 'Mr. Fixer Upper', exist in separate worlds and don’t share characters or settings with the Knockemout series. They’re wonderful if you enjoy her writing style, but they won’t provide background for Naomi and Knox’s story. The buildup you’re looking for is really contained within that trilogy; each book peels back another layer of the town’s secrets and relationships, with character cameos that feel rewarding when you’ve followed the sequence. I read them back-to-back and loved seeing how a detail hinted at in the first book paid off fully in the third.
If you’re holding 'Things We Never Got Over' and wondering about prerequisites, you can start there without any prior reading. The lead-up happens within its own pages, and the subsequent books expand the world it establishes. My own journey was diving into Naomi’s chaotic arrival in Knockemout completely cold, and that initial confusion perfectly mirrored her experience, making the sequels feel like reuniting with old friends.

He shouldn’t have imagined her lying naked on his bed. She shouldn’t have imagined his devilishly handsome face between her legs.
But it was too late.
Kiara began noticing Ethan's washboard abs when he hopped out of the pool, dripping wet after swim practice. Ethan began gazing at Kiara’s golden skin in a bikini as a grown woman instead of the girl next door he grew up with.
That kiss should have never happened.
It was just one moment in a lifetime of moments, but they both felt its power. They knew the thrumming in their veins and desperation in their bodies might give them all they ever wanted or ruin everything if they followed it.
Kiara and Ethan knew they should have never kissed. But it's too late to take that choice back, so they have a new one to make.
Fall for each other and risk their friendship or try to forget one little kiss that might change everything.
PREVIEW:
“If you don’t want to kiss me then... let’s swim.”
“Yeah, sure.”
“Naked.”
“What?”
“I always wanted to try skinny dipping. And I really want to get out of these clothes.”
“What if someone catches you... me, both?”
“We will be in the pool, Ethan. And no one can see us from the living room.” I smirked when I said, “Unless you want to watch me while I swim, you can stay here.”
His eyes darkened, and he looked away, probably thinking the same when I noticed red blush creeping up his neck and making his ears and cheeks flush. Cute.
“Come on, Ethan. Don’t be a chicken...”
“Fine.”
His voice was rough when he said, “Remove that sweater first.”

His songs were better when he had a broken heart.
That sentence would change my life after my dream job was dished to me on a shiny, silver platter.
All I had to do?
Hurt Nash Pierce enough to get him writing good music again.
The pop icon’s songs were no longer the phenomena they used to be. His team needed another breakthrough album—like the first he’d penned, using his heartbreak as fuel.
The plan was simple: I’d go on tour with him as a backup dancer…and make him fall in love with me. I was hired to inspire—to become embedded into every lyric he wrote. Then, I was to set fire to it all—to destroy every feeling we hoped he’d develop for me.
It seemed simple enough. Easy, even.
I didn’t expect to be consumed myself—to see so much in the man displayed in the tabloids. I didn’t foresee falling for him. It didn’t occur to me that, while attempting to break his heart, I might just shatter my own.
Most of all, I never thought I’d fight so hard to hold on to a relationship that had always been founded on goodbye.

Myra Darius has spent her whole life being the girl who almost belonged.
Growing up on the Blancham estate as the daughter of the household staff, she knew exactly how close she could get to their world without ever really being part of it. She learned early which doors to avoid, which secrets to keep, and who she was never supposed to fall for.
She broke that last rule, and so did Danny Blancham.
What they had was real, quiet, and deep, and completely forbidden, the kind of love that doesn't care about class lines or family names. Then someone split them apart, not by accident or some big fight, but by careful, quiet manipulation that neither of them understood until it was already done.
Now Danny's home, and within a day, every wall Myra spent eleven months building starts to crack the moment he walks back through the gate.
This is a second-chance romance, but it doesn't stay simple for long. Because what Myra and Danny are fighting to get back to each other turns out to be only half the story. The Blancham family has been hiding something for twenty years, something that goes all the way back to before Danny knew what questions to ask and before Myra knew she should be looking.
Her father wasn’t just absent; someone erased him. And the person both of them trusted most, the warm, steady presence who seemed to be on their side the entire time, is the one who buried him.
Everything He Owed Her is a steamy, fast-paced forbidden romance with a hidden heiress and a villain twist that reframes everything. Myra isn't just fighting for Danny. She's fighting for her own name, and what she finds out she's owed is bigger than either of them expected.

Can we talk about how good 'Rock Bottom Girl' is as a starting point, though? It's like the perfect sampler platter of everything Lucy Score does well: humor, heart, personal growth, hot chemistry, and a satisfying ending. If you read that and think, "Meh," you probably won't love her other stuff. If you read it and think, "MORE!" then you have two great series to dive into next. It's the ideal litmus test book.

I'm a mood reader, so my 'order' is all over the place. Snow on the cover in December? Reading that. Beach on the cover in July? Reading that. I appreciate that her books are seasonal sometimes, like 'The Christmas Fix'. That might be the best order of all: read them according to the season or holiday on the cover. It's whimsical and fun.
You'll still get the same great characters and romance. The interconnectedness is a bonus, not a requirement. Let the weather guide you. It's a very low-stress way to enjoy an author's work without getting bogged down in chronology.
How do the Knockemout books by Lucy Score connect in order?
8 Answers2026-07-31 07:56:58
The connection is the friend group and the town's ongoing saga. It's not just cameos; characters from earlier books have substantive roles in later plots. For example, Naomi's sister and her troubles are a subplot in book one that still echoes in book three. The way the community handles that situation evolves.
Lucian is a fascinating case. He's this brooding, morally gray presence in the first two books, and everyone is kind of wary of him. Then you get his book and understand why. That payoff only works if you've spent two books wondering about him. Same with Sloane—her friendship with Naomi is central to book one, so seeing her get her own happy ending feels more satisfying.
How does the reading order of Lucy Score standalones affect the stories?
5 Answers2026-07-31 23:24:37
I think the emphasis should be on the word 'affect'. Does it change the plot, conflict, or resolution of the individual story? No. Does it change the reader's subjective experience and depth of enjoyment? Potentially, yes, in minor, personal ways. For some, those minor enhancements are worth planning for. For others, they're negligible.

8 Answers2026-07-31 04:00:55
What's the rush? The fun of a connected universe is letting it unfold. Start with book one of any series and just… proceed forward. Savor it. The timeline will reveal itself as you go. Racing to 'catch up' to the latest release kills the joy. Let yourself be surprised when a side character from book one pops up as the lead in book three. That moment of recognition is pure delight, and you only get it by taking the journey in order, one book at a time.
In what order should I read Lucy Score’s small town romance novels?

I think my dog is judging me for how much time I've spent staring at my bookshelf trying to decide the order for my Lucy Score re-read. He just wants a walk. Maybe the true reading order is the one that gets decided fastest so I can get back to important things, like walking the dog and then ignoring him to actually read.
Which Lucy Score book should I start with first?
5 Answers2026-07-17 20:16:41
Honestly, just pick the one with the cover or blurb that speaks to you most. Her writing style is pretty consistent across her popular titles—fast-paced, dialogue-driven, with a guaranteed HEA. Getting too caught up in the 'perfect' entry point can suck the fun out of it. I started with 'Mr. Fixer Upper' because I liked the premise, loved it, and then went back and read everything else. The connections between her books are usually just cameos or shared towns, not crucial plot threads, so you really can't go wrong. Just dive in wherever your interest is piqued.
Is there a separate reading order for Lucy Score novellas and bonus scenes?
8 Answers2026-07-31 16:37:06
Honestly, I just read the core novels and then go searching for any extra content later. The novellas often feel like delightful little side quests, not essential plot. If you're a completionist, you'll want to find that integrated order, but if you're just here for the central romance arcs, you won't miss critical information by skipping the shorts.
They're perfect for when you're in a slump and just want a quick, satisfying hit of that familiar small-town vibe. Don't stress too much about a perfect sequence; the emotional beats of the main stories stand strong on their own.
What is the genre of 'Things We Never Got Over'?
9 Answers2025-07-01 07:59:55
I just finished 'Things We Never Got Over' and it's clearly a contemporary romance with a strong emotional core. The story focuses on the messy, real-life struggles of relationships rather than fairytale love. It's got that perfect mix of heartwarming moments and raw vulnerability that makes you feel every high and low right alongside the characters. What sets it apart is how it blends romance with elements of women's fiction - the protagonist's journey of self-discovery is just as important as the love story. The small-town setting adds that cozy feel, while the witty banter keeps things from getting too heavy. If you enjoy authors like Colleen Hoover or Emily Henry, this hits that same sweet spot between romance and real life.
How does Lucy Score connect her series across different books?
8 Answers2026-07-17 23:56:34
Honestly, I just love spotting the pets. The dogs and cats from one book often get mentioned in another! Beyond the human cameos, there are these little threads of daily life—the same vet clinic, the same bakery with the grumpy-but-sweet owner. It makes the world tangible. The connections are in the infrastructure as much as the people. You could map the towns based on the recurring businesses. It's a neat detail that adds depth without requiring you to remember every single side character's backstory from three books ago.
