Lucy Score is the #1 New York Times bestselling author who turned a fictional Virginia town into a viral reading destination. Her books are witty, warm, small-town romances with a generous helping of spice — and she's written a lot of them, across several series plus a shelf of standalones. If you're here because you searched "Blue Moon series in order," you're in the right place; this guide gives you that, plus the rest of her catalog and where to start.
Where Should You Start?
Two good entry points, depending on what you want. If you want the viral breakout, start with Things We Never Got Over — the grumpy-barber-and-runaway-bride story that launched the Knockemout series and made her a household name on BookTok. If you want the cozy, meddling-small-town series you came here for, start with No More Secrets, the first Blue Moon book. Both are first-in-series, so either way you're starting clean.
The Blue Moon Series, In Order
Set in famously nosy Blue Moon Bend, New York — a town where the matchmaking residents run a newsletter and a Facebook group dedicated to everyone's love lives. One thing worth knowing: the series was originally published as The Pierce Brothers, and the first three books each follow one of the Pierce brothers (Carter, Beckett, and Jax), which is why those early books feel so tightly linked. Read in this order:
1. No More Secrets (Carter & Summer)
2. Fall Into Temptation (Beckett & Gianna)
3. The Last Second Chance (Jax & Joey)
4. Not Part of the Plan
5. Holding On to Chaos
6. The Fine Art of Faking It
7. Where It All Began (a prequel novella)
8. The Mistletoe Kisser (a Christmas finale)
See the full series with covers on the Blue Moon series page.
The Knockemout Series, In Order
Her breakout, set in the rough-around-the-edges town of Knockemout, Virginia. Each book follows a different couple, but recurring characters mean you'll want to read them in order:
1. Things We Never Got Over (Knox & Naomi — grumpy/sunshine)
2. Things We Hide from the Light (Nash & Lina)
3. Things We Left Behind (Lucian & Sloane)
See the Knockemout series page.
Her Other Series
Benevolence — a trio of protective-hero small-town romances: Pretend You're Mine, Finally Mine, and Protecting What's Mine. See the Benevolence series page.
Riley Thorn — a cozy-mystery romance series following a broke, reluctant psychic and her tattooed private-investigator boyfriend through murders and apartment chaos. Read in order: The Dead Guy Next Door, The Corpse in the Closet, The Blast from the Past, and The Body in the Backyard. See the Riley Thorn series page.
Bootleg Springs — co-written with Claire Kingsley, a rowdy lake-town series mixing romance with a years-long missing-person mystery: Whiskey Chaser, Sidecar Crush, Moonshine Kiss, Bourbon Bliss, Gin Fling, and Highball Rush. See the Bootleg Springs series page.
Sinner & Saint — a two-book duology: Crossing the Line and Breaking the Rules. See the Sinner & Saint series page.
Story Lake — her newest small-town series: Story of My Life, Mistakes Were Made, and Just One More Chapter. See the Story Lake series page.
The Best Standalones
Plenty of Lucy Score's most-loved books stand entirely on their own. The crowd favorites: By a Thread (a grumpy-boss romcom and one of her most popular), Maggie Moves On, Rock Bottom Girl, and Forever Never. Also worth a look: The Worst Best Man, Mr. Fixer Upper, Heart of Hope, and the holiday romance The Christmas Fix.
