My friend lent me 'Things We Hide from the Light' and I was totally lost because I hadn't read the first Knockemout book. The emotional weight of the hero's backstory, his friendships, the town's dynamics—it all relied heavily on established context from 'Things We Never Got Over.' So for that particular series, the links are absolutely crucial and sequential.

It taught me to check if a book is part of a direct series versus a loosely connected universe. The Knockemout books are a proper series with a continuing storyline. The Blue Moon books are more like standalones with shared settings. You have to know which type you're getting into.

Ugh, I find the constant cameos a bit cheesy and forced after a while. It takes me out of the story when the protagonist randomly runs into the happy couple from three books ago at the grocery store for a pointless 'how are the kids?' exchange. It feels less like a natural small town and more like a staged reunion show.

I wish she'd let each story breathe on its own without the obligatory check-ins. The strength is in the central couple's chemistry, not in the extended universe references. Sometimes simpler is better. Not every book needs to be part of a sprawling web.

Hmm, I'm not sure I have a strong opinion on this. I've only read one of her books, and it was fine. The small-town setting was cute. Are people saying you have to read them in order? That seems like a lot of commitment.

After reading so many, the towns start to blur together. Was the big family dinner at the Italian place in Blue Moon or Benevolence? Did the firefighter hero work in Knockemout or was that the other series? The links create a pleasant, homogenous feeling, but it can also make individual books less memorable.

They're all enjoyable in the moment, but a year later, I struggle to recall which couple belonged to which book unless the plot was exceptionally unique. The interconnectedness, while fun, can sometimes work against distinctiveness. The shared tone and setting become a bit of a smoothie where individual flavors blend.

How does Lucy Score connect her series across different books?

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.

Which Lucy Score books have the most romantic comedy focus?

I think the holiday books are the most tightly focused on the rom-com formula because they have a built-in timeline and tone. 'The Christmas Fix' and 'Mistletoe & Mishigas' have to deliver festive cheer, a central romance, and laughs within a seasonal framework. They're like Hallmark movies with more spice and sharper writing. If you want a guaranteed, concentrated dose of the genre, start with one of those.

What are the Lucy Score books in reading order?

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.
