🛠️ MAGGIE MOVES ON by Lucy Score 🛠️
★★★★☆
🍹 Drink Pairing: The perfect pairing for this book was a mango passionfruit margarita, reminiscent of Maggie’s Margarita Girl’s Nights! An amazing Summer read warrants an equally amazing Summer drink.
🥭 Recipe: In a blender, add 1 c. frozen mango chunks and 1 c. passionfruit puree and 1/2 c. water. Blend!
Then in a cocktail shaker with ice, add 1/2 c. mango passionfruit juice, 1.5 oz tequila, 0.5 oz. Cointreau, fresh squeezed juice of 1 lime, agave to taste - and shake!! Strain over a glass with ice and garnish with a lime wheel
Thank you to NetGalley and Grand Central Publishing for the eARC of this book!
🌟 Review: As an HGTV binge watcher, and as someone who’s mom is a home designer/real estate agent - I was SO excited for this book. Renovating an old Victorian mansion in a small town? Sign me up!
I have been wanting to read Lucy Score’s books for so long and I was so excited to get her latest book on NetGalley! This book was so cute, and I LOVED the reverse grumpy-sunshine. Every last character was amazing, and I could envision the entire house transformation as I read. Plus - I loved the little historical mystery element to the story!
I don’t want to give away anything but if you love small-town romances, dreamy landscapers, adorable pitbulls, and quirky townsfolk - then pick up this story asap!

Summary: Can these opposites turn up the heat… without burning down the house?
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?
