Maggie Moves On by Lucy Score
5.0
I received an eARC of this book via NetGalley. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of this review.
I loved this book! Maggie Moves On by Lucy Score is a perfect summer romcom about a house flipper who falls in love with her sexy landscaper. Maggie Nichols has made a life for herself as a You-Tube star flipping houses with her best friend and ex-husband Dean. The two flit from town to town renovating crumbling shacks and turning them into dream homes. Arriving in the small town of Kinship, Idaho to renovate the town’s historical Campbell home, Maggie wanderlust is waning, and she finds she may want to spread her roots.
I love Maggie. She is such a fun character. She flips the script on feminine. Maggie is a force to be reckoned with, stubborn to a fault, loyal, and has an iron wall built around her heart. Her life has been far from perfect, but over the last few years, she’s carved a perfect life for herself. She doesn’t need anyone except for Dean or anything except a hammer and she’ll be happy. Or at least that’s what she thinks.
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.
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
