Maggie Moves On by Lucy Score
Release Date: June 21, 2022
House-flipping sensation and YouTube star Maggie Nichols can’t wait to dig into her next challenge. Arriving in tiny Kinship, Idaho, with only a cot and a coffeemaker, Maggie is prepared to restore a crumbling Victorian mansion in four months or less. She has her to-do lists, her blueprints, and her team. What she doesn’t have is time for sexy, laid-back landscaper Silas Wright.
The man takes flirtation to a whole new level. And he does it shirtless…sometimes pants-less. He and his service school-dropout dog are impressively persistent. But she’s not interested in putting down roots. Not when fans tune in to watch her travel the country turning dilapidated houses into dream homes. A short-term fling on the other hand could fit nicely into her calendar. After all, Maggie remembers what fun is like. Vaguely.
As their summer gets downright steamy, Silas manages to demolish the emotional walls she’s spent years building, sending Maggie into a panic. He’s the wrench in her carefully constructed plans. With the end of the project looming, she has a decision to make. But how can she stay when her entire career is built on moving on?
5 out of 5 stars
Simply incredible. Maggie Moves On is a new
favorite! 6 stars! The characters, the attention to detail, the build, the
house, and even the dog. There were so many amazing moments filled with so much feeling. I
laughed, I cried, I swooned, and completely fell in love with Maggie and Silas.
This story was perfection.
Maggie and Silas were truly the best. I instantly
loved Silas and his flirty ways, he was so charming and sweet right from the
start. This man made me melt! I loved Maggie and her in charge attitude and all
she’d accomplished and overcome. I understood what she wanted and the conflict
it created since Silas was in hot pursuit. They had undeniable chemistry with a playful
banter that was sexy and fun. There was an excellent balance between the humor and
heat (oh my with the heat!!!). I loved them opening up, learning their history,
and being vulnerable. There were so many wonderful scenes between these two that
had me laughing and others that were full of so much emotion. It was
a very well-rounded story from beginning to end.
I think I loved the secondary characters just as much as
I loved Maggie and Silas. I wish I could mention every one of them and just
how important and meaningful they were. I loved how their stories and history
mixed in with the overall storyline and the wit and cleverness they brought. I
loved the family Silas and Maggie formed with them, the friends they find and
bring into the fold, right down to the animals, it was everything. I really
enjoyed Silas’s family as well and all the different dynamics that were taking
place. There were so many moments that filled me up and made my heart happy.
Besides the romance, there's a beautiful story about the house itself and the
original owners that added a layer of mystery to it all. I loved all the hints
and clues and the dots connecting along the way, giving the story an extra special
layer that made it even more fulfilling.
I make no secret of the fact that Lucy Score is one of my
favorite authors. I feel like she weaves magic into her stories, bringing them
to life, making my world just a little brighter. That 100% happened with this book.
It was an incredibly well-developed and detailed story with a phenomenal build and
I had a really hard time putting my Kindle down and getting anything done. I couldn’t
wait to find out what would happen next.
