Review: Sometimes the feelings we resist the most are the ones that have the most to teach us - I loved Lucian and Sloane’s grump-sunshine, enemies to lovers, second chance, benefits only, “we have a secret feud that we won’t talk about” romance. The book has a perfect blend of hilarity, sweet moments, difficult real life issues, danger, and steam. There was a lot of facing ugly truths and past pain with plenty of snort worthy laughs thrown in. This love story is not a twenty something’s flowers, mood lighting, tweeting birds and traditional romantic gestures insta-love story. This is the gritty, messy kind of love with dark painful places in between the light joyful ones. Sloane is the head librarian in small town Knockemout. At the beginning of the story, her dad just died of cancer and she realizes she put the needs of her career ahead of having a husband and children. She is determined to do that now. Lucian grew up next door to Sloane but had a very different childhood. Hers was loving and nurturing and his was full of violence. Sloane and Lucian had a long ago past though only they know what it was or what happened. They only interact when mutual friends force them together at social events. To get to their HEA will require the perfect storm of events, examination of long suppressed feelings, embracing their fears, healing, and of course trying to bring down a mob boss. Lucian and Sloane are portrayed as real, relatable people who have flaws and loads of baggage, but are really just trying to do their best as messy fallible humans. I have a soft spot for the people who are a bit uncomfortable in their skin because they don’t feel like they fit in or are worthy, like Lucian. So I love when they finally see their truth and they get swoon worthy HEAs because they really deserve them. This is not an enemies to lovers story that tips into meanness or abuse. The MCs are clearly just emotionally wounded ones. At the beginning of the book, they have been “on a never-ending roller coaster of insults, sexual awareness, bitterness, and flirtation.” The character growth and development journey was done beautifully for both of them. The story was well written and included witty dialogue, three dimensional characters who grow, and an engaging storyline and will give you all the feels - laughing, crying, swooning, cringing, teeth gritting, and cheering with sweet moments, steamy scenes, laughs, supportive friends, messy families, painful pasts, danger, and all the heart squeezing love. This was a great book to end this phenomenal series. Review: Fantastic finale - What a way to end the series! I gobbled up the first 400 pages without even feeling like time was passing; the sexual tension and intensity of the story had me completely gripped, and I was caught up in the romance. Going in, I wasn't confident that I was going to love Sloane and Lucian's story because of the tropes at play, but I quickly realized that wasn't going to be an issue. Despite their MESSY history and decades of feuding, their love story pulled me in without hesitation. They have some insane chemistry, and the spicy scenes were SMOKIN' hot. I loved the constant bite of sexual tension laced throughout the first half, and the hate sex was off the charts sexy. But more than that, those spicy scenes revealed so much about this couple; they're connected in a way that they'd probably both deny, and it was easy to see the deeper undertones of their relationship early on. It's a story that resonated with me in a way that I wasn't expecting, and I ended up really loving it. The story follows Sloane, a woman whose father recently passed away. His death has reminded Sloane that she is approaching forty without fulfilling her dreams of a family, and there aren't any prospects on the horizon. Though there are plenty of nice guys in town, the only one who makes her blood heat is Lucian, the bane of Sloane's existence. Now that their friends are coupled up, they've been spending more time together - and it's a constant reminder of the things that tore them apart. Sloane and Lucian have been guarding the secrets of their past for the last two decades, and now that's finally catching up with them. They can't stand to be in the same room together, but they can't seem to stay away from each other either, no matter how much they'd like to. Unfortunately, the death of Sloane's father has brought a few things to light... and Sloane will never be able to look at Lucian the same way again. I've really enjoyed this series, and this makes a fitting conclusion. The romance itself is easy to read as a standalone, but the suspenseful elements tie the series together. Personally, I have very little emotional investment in the suspense, so I felt like the first 400ish pages were significantly stronger than the last 200. Like, really strong. I absolutely LOVED the angst and intensity of Sloane and Lucian's story, and it was incredibly engaging for me. Digging into the details of their past was just as interesting as watching them fight their feelings in the present, and Score deftly weaves together those elements. We get a few flashbacks to piece together their history without it bogging down the present day story, and that insight makes the romance that much richer. Even when Sloane and Lucian were denying their feelings for each other, it was easy to see that there was more than met the eye. The spice was not only hot as sin, but also incredibly intimate and laced with meaning. Though Lucian is stubborn as can be (and the breakup was a little rougher than I'd like), I could easily see where he was coming from. It's an emotional, often heavy, story that pulled me in right away and didn't let go the whole way through. I loved it! ## Features - Hodder Things we left behind. - ABISBOOK. - Hodder. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #5,655,437 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 108,342 Reviews | ## Images ![Things we left behind - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71OeTZKUr+L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sometimes the feelings we resist the most are the ones that have the most to teach us *by T***N on September 5, 2023* I loved Lucian and Sloane’s grump-sunshine, enemies to lovers, second chance, benefits only, “we have a secret feud that we won’t talk about” romance.

I loved it! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lucian is every women's dream tbh *by D***R on September 14, 2023* "Things We Left Behind" by Lucy Score is a rollercoaster of a romance novel that had me hooked from the start. The chemistry between Slone and Lucian is hotter than a summer's day in Texas, and I was thrilled to see them finally break that never-ending sexual tension that had been simmering throughout the book. But, here's the thing: while I was loving every moment with our dynamic duo, I couldn't help but feel that the story involving Hugo was a bit of a stretch. We all knew someone had to take him down, but it just felt a tad weird and out of place. I would have preferred more focus on the crime boss earlier in the book to build up the suspense and anticipation. That being said, Lucy Score's writing is as sharp as ever. The banter between the characters is witty and laugh-out-loud funny, and the pacing keeps you turning pages well into the night. The supporting cast adds flavor and depth to the story, making you wish they all had their own spin-off novels. "Things We Left Behind" is a steamy, entertaining read that delivers on the romance front, and I can't deny I had a blast. Despite my quibble with the Hugo storyline, the sizzling connection between Slone and Lucian more than made up for it. If you're a fan of Lucy Score's work or just looking for a spicy read to keep you entertained, this book is definitely worth diving into. ## Frequently Bought Together - Things We Left Behind: the Sunday Times bestseller and TikTok sensation – Lucy's new book Story of My Life is out now!
