Synopsis: Police Chief Nash who is known around town as Studley Do Right and admired by all of the citizens for how good his butt looks in his pants, is recovering from a gunshot wound. Not only is Nash struggling with his recovery and trying to fight off the depression and anxiety that are plaguing him, but he is also trying to get his memory back from the night he was shot so he can figure out who shot him and left him for dead.
Lina is in town trying to recover an asset for an insurance company she works for. Her plans are to get in, find what she needs, and get out. What she isn't planning for is to fall for the man next door. Nash is everything Lina is not looking for but Lina is everything that Nash needs. These two get dragged into the same orbit and sparks begin to fly when they are forced into proximity with each other.
Review: I am head over heels in love with this book! *Swoon* I fell in love with these characters in book 1 so to get to see their story continue and to hear from Nash and Lina's point of view was wonderful. Nash is incredibly sweet and has a great personality. I love the whole cinnamon roll/bad girl thing with both Nash and Lina. Seriously, they are made for each other and complement each other perfectly.
The anxiety and PTSD rep is spot on in this book. There are a few scenes where Nash experiences a panic attack and Lucy's writing made it feel very realistic and relatable. My heart hurt for him and it's no wonder that Lina had a hard time keeping herself out of his orbit. He would be impossible to ignore!
In my experience, the second book is never as good as the first but I actually loved this book more. There was adventure, lots of sass, and a delicious amount of steam. Lucy sure does know how to write about intimate moments in a way that can make grown women blush. Even though this story was almost 600 pages long, I still was bummed when it ended. I can't wait to go back to Knockemout in September so I can hear Lucian's story. I am 100% certain that Lucian is going to be my next book boyfriend.
