Things We Left Behind

This might just be my favorite book of the series since it features a librarian! I’m a total sucker for novels that have anything to do with libraries or bookshops!

Fall Into Temptation

This might be my favorite book cover in this whole series. Doesn’t it just scream beautiful days and cozy night? Plus, Fall Into Temptation features a lovable single mom! I always find it so intriguing when kids enter the equation! It ups the stakes to a whole new level.

Gianna just moved to a new place with her two kids and discovers a hell of a hot landlord who’s responsible for their new home.

Holding On To Chaos

Sheriff Donovan is convinced that newcomer, Eva, is hiding something that might relate to a crime. He won’t stop interrogating (I mean, talking!) to her. She’s convinced he’s only hanging around because he suspects something. Surely he’s not actually interested in her, right?

The Fine Art of Faking It

Sheriff Donovan is convinced that newcomer, Eva, is hiding something that might relate to a crime. He won’t stop interrogating (I mean, talking!) to her. She’s convinced he’s only hanging around because he suspects something. Surely he’s not actually interested in her, right?

Even if that was the case, she cannot get caught up with the town sheriff while she’s hiding from a less than clean past. Secrets are bound to come out one way or the other, though.  | Amazon 

 

 

 

 

Where It All Began

Although this is technically a prequel, Lucy herself warns not to read this first! She recommends waiting until at least after Book #4 to ensure you don’t ruin any of your reading experience.

Where It All Began gives readers the much anticipated backstory of John and Phoebe. It shares how they met, built their lives together and ultimately raised their boys.   | Amazon 

 

 

 

 

The Mistletoe Kisser

I’m partial to this one because the male main character is an accountant, just like me! Unfortunately, Ryan was fired from his corporate job and now has to fly across the country to help his great uncle with some unknown emergency.

Waiting for him in town is a whole lot of planning for a town event, a sheep he can’t get rid of, and a frustrating veterinarian. Plus, the Beatification Committee now has a new man to try to set up!!  | Amazon 

 

 

 

 

Lucy Score Books In Order: Sinner & Saint Series

Crossing The Line

A celebrity romance is the theme of this series! Waverly is the celebrity and Xavier is the bodyguard. He’s used to guarding Hollywood’s finest, mostly from their own bad behavior and expects the same with his new assignment. Instead, he finds a woman hiding her true self behind her public persona.

• The Price Of A Scandal (2019)
• The Worst Best Man (2018)
• The Christmas Fix (2017)
• Mr Fixer Upper (2017)
• Undercover Love (2015)

 

 

Maggie Moves On

This novel was actually my introduction to Lucy Score, so I love that it’s kicking off Lucy Score books in order standalone section! I may have been late to the party but I was hooked immediately! I was first drawn in by the YouTube house-flipping main character. Maggie takes on her next project with her usual gusto – four months to restore a crumbling Victorian beauty before she moves on as usual.

She isn’t counting on the smoking hot contractor who ends up working on the house…or the growing attachment to the house’s history and the town. | Amazon | Bookshop.org

 

 

This romantic suspense novel will have you turning pages almost faster than you can read! A troubled heroine, especially this one, is Brick’s kryptonite. There are endless reasons why Brick shouldn’t get involved with Remi but she’s always been the one woman he can’t resist.

Remi has clearly returned to town on the run from something and Brick is determined to help. She’s just as strong-willed though, especially knowing she may end up putting him in danger. Will she be able to finally give in and trust him to help her face the threat? | Amazon 

 

 

 

 

By A Thread

This was my pick out of all Lucy Score books in order to include on my list of the best Kindle Unlimited books! I love that the cover of this book literally says “A Grumpy Boss Romantic Comedy” Tells you everything you need to know!

An energetic new hire gets under Dominic’s skin, so he’s determined to get her to quit. Unfortunately, he doesn’t realize he’s no match for her charm! | Amazon

 

 

 

 

Rock Bottom Girl

One of the reasons I love Rock Bottom Girl is that it features a middle-aged protagonist! I have to admit as I get older, it’s refreshing to read about more than just 20-something heroines LOL! Marley is definitely at the lowest point in her life when she heads back to her hometown and picks up responsibility for the high school girls soccer team. 

Thankfully, the school principle has agreed to a deal. He’ll help her coach if she helps him understand how to be in an actual relationship. Things start to get way too intense for what’s supposed to be a fake arrangement, though!  Free On Kindle Unlimited 

 

 

 

 

 

The Price Of A Scandal

Although this technically is a Lucy Score standalone, it’s also technically part of a series! 4 romance authors teamed up for the Bluewater Billionaires series (featuring all female billionaires) and Lucy Score wrote the first book! 

I’m a huge fan of the fact that the women in this series are the moneymakers! Emily is trying to keep her family happy and also hold on to her CEO title. When scandal threatens her position, her savior comes in the form of Derek. He’s the go-to guy for getting his clients out of trouble, but usually he doesn’t have to worry about them worming their way into his heart…or his bed. | Amazon

 

 

 

 

 

The Worst Best Man

Another wedding themed addition to the Lucy Score books in order list! Francesca is taking her Maid of Honor duties extremely seriously, even if the wedding party is an absolute nightmare. She’ll do anything it takes to keep everyone in line, including the pretentious jerk of a Best Man. 

Aiden is used to getting what he wants both in the boardroom and bedroom. No one has presented a challenge like Francesca, but he’s confident he’ll get her out from under his skin before the wedding weekend is over. Little does he know life (and love) has different plans. | Amazon

 

 

 

The Christmas Fix

Christmas time is here!! And this holiday season we’re falling for a single dad! Noah is focused on two things, his daughter and putting his hurricane ravaged town back together in time for the Christmas festival. His philosophy is keeping his head down and putting in the work. 

That plan certainly does not need some hot-shot renovation star for help. Nevertheless, Cat comes barreling into town with grand plans of her own. The two immediately clash, but in a town this small they also can’t get away from each other… | Amazon

 

 

 

 

Mr Fixer Upper

Lucy Score is taking a home renovation reality show to a whole new level! Gannon is a sexy home renovation star who brings in viewers by showing off his skills and his body. Paige is his producer, who is immune to it all. She’s there to do a job…even when he starts turning on the charm for her. 

She knows it’s a bad idea to fall for her star, but she can’t resist this man who seems to be genuinely interested in her. Doesn’t this sound like an incredibly fun read?? | Amazon

 

 

 

 

 

 

Undercover Love

The oldest of the standalone Lucy Score books in order is a tale of corporate espionage and a woman getting revenge in the most satisfying of ways! When she’s approached to help take down her cheating ex, Ashley gets pulled out of her comfort zone into something over her head. | Amazon
