It is a grumpy/sunshine romance in the truest sense. Naomi is sweet, kind, and considerate which softens some of Knox’s brash and callous tendencies. They’re still the same people, just better together. It’s not a personality change, which I greatly appreciated. There is some growth on both Naomi’s and Knox’s part as they learn to love one another. They support each other and find comfort in a way that we see they never had before.

They butt heads but it’s always for the good of the other person. Though their love is quick (the entire story only takes place over 5 weeks), their connection is undeniable and HOT! The banter was my favorite part. I loved Knox’s grumpiness and how resourceful Naomi was. Things We Never Got Over really picked up for me at around 25% and I could not stop reading. The name choices really bothered me and honestly continued to take me out of the story as I read. I felt like I was reading a story about a southern story, very campy. It took me out of the story because it felt ridiculous. It seemed that everyone who was not from Knockemout had common names, whereas everyone who was had these aggressively characterized southern ones. The name choices in this book really threw me for a loop. The beginning of the book, like the first 20%, was really slow for me and I struggled to get into the story.

And just as soon as she stops getting into new trouble he can leave her alone and get back to his peaceful, solitary life.Īt least, that’s the plan until the trouble turns to real danger. But since Naomi’s life imploded right in front of him, the least he can do is help her out of her jam. There’s a reason Knox doesn’t do complications or high-maintenance women, especially not the romantic ones. Now she’s stuck in town with no car, no job, no plan, and no home with an 11-year-old going on thirty to take care of. After helping herself to Naomi’s car and cash, Tina leaves her with something unexpected. Too bad for Naomi her evil twin hasn’t changed at all. She was riding to the rescue of her estranged twin to Knockemout, Virginia, a rough-around-the-edges town where disputes are settled the old-fashioned way…with fists and beer. Naomi wasn’t just running away from her wedding. Knox doesn’t tolerate drama, even when it comes in the form of a stranded runaway bride.
