Things We Never Got Over: A Kayla Hicks Book Review

2 min read

What is it about?

Bearded, bad-boy barber Knox prefers to live his life the way he takes his coffee: Alone. Unless you count his basset hound, Waylon.

Knox doesn’t tolerate drama, even when it comes in the form of a stranded runaway bride.


Naomi wasn’t just running away from her wedding. 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. Usually in that order.

Too bad for Naomi her evil twin hasn’t changed at all. After helping herself to Naomi’s car and cash, Tina leaves her with something unexpected. The niece Naomi didn’t know she had. 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.

There’s a reason Knox doesn’t do complications or high-maintenance women, especially not the romantic ones. But since Naomi’s life imploded right in front of him, the least he can do is help her out of her jam. And just as soon as she stops getting into new trouble he can leave her alone and get back to his peaceful, solitary life.

At least, that’s the plan until the trouble turns to real danger.


My Review:

This book was the best book I've read in a long time.

Colleen Hoover fans will also love this book, as she is also one of my favorite authors.

The chemistry between Knox and Naomi was amazing, and I literally could not put this book down. I loved how the small-town vibe was throughout this book from how they gossiped to taking care of their own. And I love all of the characters, which doesn't usually happen for me.

And I'm ready for the next one.
