This book is the second standalone in the Knock Em Out series, set in a charming small town. While I didn't love it quite as much as the first book in the series, it still provided a highly enjoyable reading experience.

One of the highlights of this book is the wonderful cast of characters that populate the small town. Lucy Score's writing is known for its humor, and this book maintains that hilarious tone while delving into deeper emotions and heartfelt moments. The story primarily focuses on a hero who is grappling with trauma and PTSD after being shot. He's also on a mission to uncover who shot him while unexpectedly falling for his new neighbor, who has a strong aversion to relationships and plans to leave town once her mission is complete.
