Product Information

Then enters Silas Wright. I absolutely love Silas! His POV is hilarious to read. This man is head over heels for Maggie from first sight. He tells his brother he’s met his future wife, she just doesn’t know it yet. He then doggedly pursues a relationship with the ever reluctant Maggie. I love how grounded he is and convicted of his own feelings. While Maggie is someone who overanalyzes and thinks things to death, Silas jumps head first whenever his heart tells him too. And it is telling him to do just that. Charming and flirty hero – oh my, he was adorable, with a side of SIZZLE!!!! He actually surprised me with being such an adorable sweet and likeable guy, but in the bedroom he knew exactly how to get it done!! 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? now I’m gonna talk about these characters, because I really liked them at first. I liked how Silas had the whole “love at first sight” thing, and Maggie was persistent on doing her job. But as I got to know these characters, especially when they were together, I disliked them more and more. From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Things We Left Behind,comes a steamy small-town romance between a straight-laced house renovator and the sexy landscaper determined to break down her walls.

I think he loved the supporting characters as much as Maggie and Silas did. I wish I could mention each of them and how important and significant they were. I loved how their stories and story fit into the overall plot and the wit and intelligence they brought to the table. I loved the family Silas and Maggie started with them, the friends they made and brought into the herd, even the animals, it was everything. All in all, this was a cute read and I enjoyed getting to spend time with Maggie, Silas, Dean, Michael, Kevin and the rest of the gang. Although it was open door with a good bit of spice throughout the second half of the book, it had all the Hallmark vibes one could ask for. I loved the concept of found family that is presented several times over. and then, that same day, they got engaged. They’ve known each other for barely 3 months, and now she’s given up her entire life for him and they’re getting married. The man takes flirtation to a whole new level. But she's not interested in putting down roots. A short-term fling on the other hand could fit nicely into her calendar. After all, Maggie remembers what fun is like. Vaguely.The man takes flirting to a whole new level. And he does it shirtless…sometimes in pants. He and his dog who has dropped out of school are impressively persistent. But she has no interest in putting down roots. also, i couldn’t stand her weird need to make decisions for everyone else in her life…if someone wants to drop everything to follow you across the country, LET THEM! it’s their damn choice, so stop acting like you need to push them away so they don’t have the option. thankfully, the side characters called her out. There were moments in the book that made me smile and laugh, and I liked the romance at first. Silas was really cute with the whole "she's gonna be my wife, she just doesn't know it yet" thing, but there were some questionable scenes after that where he acted like they were already married or at the very least had been dating for years. Thank you to Forever Publishing for my finished copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. Available now. I was so excited to receive an ARC from NetGalley for Lucy Score's new release. As a fan of Things We Never Got Over and Forever Never, I had high hopes for "Maggie Moves On."

I also really enjoyed Silas’ family and all the different dynamics that played out. There were so many moments that fulfilled me and made my heart happy. As well as the romance, there is a beautiful story about the house itself and the original owners who have added a layer of mystery to it all. I loved all the clues and clues and connection points along the way that added a very special layer to the story that makes it even more satisfying. The man takes flirtation to a whole new level. And he does it shirtless . . . He’s impressively persistent. But Maggie’s not interested in putting down roots. A short-term fling on the other hand could fit nicely into her calendar. Thanks to Forever (Grand Central Publishing), Lucy Score and NetGalley for the ARC. I am voluntarily leaving my honest review* there was just no tension between silas and maggie (h)…the only time there could have been some banter was after they got into an argument about maggie’s safety. but then it fast-forwarded a week and they made-up again, he only thinks with his emotions. And automatically assumes that she isn’t taking his emotions into consideration— probably because HE isn’t actually taking her thought process into consideration. multiple times he would call Maggie‘s decisions: “their decisions”, meaning he had some sort of say in the matter, when he doesn’t. Because Maggie said multiple times she didn’t want to be in a serious relationship, because she was going to be leaving soon. but he still got mad when she made decisions for herself.

Featured Reviews

Cute cute cute. Another easy, happy little read by Lucy Score. If you've read literally any other LS book you'll recognize this as one of her typical small town romances (think everyone knows everyone, there are a million and one side characters, people become BFFs after saying three words to each other), but of all her books I've read I think I enjoyed this "small town" the best. This takes place in Idaho and has lots of wild west-y vibes--think rushing rivers, the great outdoors, and DRUM ROLL....a treasure hunt for stolen gold from the 1800s! This was my favorite part of this book. A literal treasure hunt surrounding the property Maggie is renovating, complete with secret rooms and mysterious objects and literals shovels-in-dirt treasure hunting. So fun.

I loved the journey that the characters took in this book. I enjoyed both main characters and the supporting characters as well. This book had charm, some laughs, some angst, some heat, and a loveable service dog drop-out dog named Kevin who is a scene stealer! I'm a huge HGTV fan and Magnolia Network follower, and I just couldn't pass up a romance novel with a remodeling theme. While the romance is the clear driver of the plot, a lot of the action revolves around the remodeling of the Campbell home. This once great mansion is filled with town history and a little mystery surrounding the original owners. As Maggie works to bring the house into the current century, more mysteries are uncovered, and there may be a little wild west gold involved 😉 Feisty heroine – love me a gal who knows what she wants. And one that listens to her heart and isn’t too stubborn to act on it! Also I have to mention this, Silas is 37 right, and he doesn't know what YouTube is...YouTube??? If he was in his 50s I could maybe see it, but he would've been around 20 when YouTube came out, it wasn't that long ago. Everyone I know who's in their mid thirties knows about YouTube, come on now. Silas did not grow up in a cave!!!My one concern going into this book, knowing a big part of Maggie's story is her love for sharing her renovation journey on her popular YouTube channel, was that the social media storyline would feel cheesy (as often tends to be the case when I read about characters in the influencer world — probably because it's a little too close to my own world, haha). That wasn't the case here! This book is sloooowwww. Really, really slow. The subplots weren’t compelling enough to create real tension and led to it just feeling monotonous. So, here are the things I loved the most about this book, which was of course a one-stitting kind of reading experience – which is the only way a Lucy Score book should be experienced :D.
