Grumpy, small-town barber + hopelessly romantic runaway bride = great big bust ups, all the tension and lots of steamy encounters!

Escaping her seemingly perfect wedding, Naomi Witt arrives in rough-around-the-edges Knockemout, Virginia, running to the rescue of her estranged twin, Tina.

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 11-year-old niece she didn''t know she had. Now she''s stuck in town with no job, no plan, no home and a whole lot of extra responsibility.

There''s a reason local barber 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 trouble, he can leave her alone and get back to his peaceful, solitary life.

At least that''s the plan, until their lives begin to entwine in ways they never imagined . . .

You feel it in your soul. That''s what Things We Never Got Over did for me
Review quote
It''s got every single thing I love in a romance book: a gruff/grumpy bad boy who says he doesn''t want love, but his actions dictate otherwise, a hopeless romantic heroine that all readers want to befriend, a small town with charm but one that doesn''t skimp on the gossip, and a sweet budding romance that readers root for
Review quote
I loved the subtlety and the transformation of the broken hero - and broken heroine - and the growth in intimacy was so very satisfying. These two opposites attract in the best of ways, and their chemistry was both smokin'' hot and seriously swoony

The small-town characters were plentiful and colourful! This well-written story made me laugh, as well as pulled at my heartstrings with its excellent plot. Fabulous read!
