Holding on to Chaos: Blue Moon, Book 5 Audible Audiobook – Unabridged

4.5 out of 5 stars 17,905 ratings

“I want to be upfront with you. No surprises, no secrets. I want you, Eva. And I think you might be it for me.”

Eva is a hot mess running from her past and doesn’t mind telling a fib or two to protect her secrets. It’s too bad that she moved to the nosiest small town in the world with Sheriff Sexy—the tall, built human lie detector. He’s suddenly showing interest and treating every conversation like it’s an interrogation.

Donovan loves his nice, quiet hippie town, and he’s got some pretty strong feelings when it comes to a certain klutzy redhead, too. But she’s hiding something. Just when he starts to peel back those layers to get to the naked truth, the entire town loses its collective mind—and inhibitions—in what town elders identify as an astrological apocalypse.

Can he save the girl from her past and the town from itself?

    A scrumptious apple pie-y story of two more Blue Moon residents. The unique weirdness that can only happen there continues as the town sheriff and resident romance author find true love. I can't recommend this book enough. The continuing stories of Blue Moon residents only get better with each book. Enjoy!

    3.0 out of 5 stars Too silly
    Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2023
    Verified Purchase
    Overall, I’d say Lucy Score writes well. However, this entry in the Blue Moon series was a good deal more silly that the previous books but that’s not necessarily a bad thing as it makes for light escapist reading. I did have some other issues though.

    I did have a quibble or two with the hero, Donovan. I found him just a bit too controlling for my taste with his early declarations of love, and how they would get married and have children. Mind you, this was BEFORE they’d had any kind of date and in spite of Eva’s requests to slow things down a bit. Of course, this is a romance novel but in real life, his behavior would likely be a red flag.

    I also had issues with his anger over her handling of a family issue. I honestly did not think he was entitled to it. Disappointment, yes. Concern, okay. Anger, nope. He hasn’t known her long enough to be angry with her about it. Again, that’s a bit of a red flag.

    I may have to stop the series here. I feel like the author is starting to grasp for story lines in this series, hence the silliness of this entry. It’s not a bad read, just bordering on over the top for my taste.

    Lucy Score continues to be my favorite author!!!!! Problem is I’m not getting anything else done. Her characters pop off the page and become real in your mind. You don’t ever want to story to end. The hot scenes are so well written and passionate. You get totally caught up. There is conflict but never annoying and she doesn’t draw it out driving you crazy. Please check out her books. They are more than worth it!

    Wow, who'd have thought Blue Moon residents could get any crazier, I loved this story. Donovan's character absolute shone for me, I loved his quick wit and dry sense of humour. Donovan and Eva worked well together. I think this is my favourite in the series, so far.

    This was the 5th book in the series and I'm already sad because there are only 2 more. The whole town of Blue Moon is truly peculiar but the Pierce family, all their in-laws, are beyond fascinating. Family people who help each other out even if the help is not requested. They 're noisy, big, loving and incredibly funny. I definitely recommend. 😊

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 2, 2017

    Everybody stop! The Blue Moon gang are back, back again. I for one, am so happy. I wait semi patiently for whatever is written by Lucy Score, but I have such a soft spot for the romantic goings on in Blue Moon. At this point I'm not entirely sure this place is fictional 😄😉. The characters are so well fleshed out that I can almost predict reactions to events now we're 5 books in.
    What I couldn't predict is an unforseen planetary alignment event turning the entire town even crazier just when sheriff Donovan finally finds the woman of his dreams. What ensues is a madcap caper full of fun, silliness and a astrological conspiracy to keep Donovan from laying claim to Eva, youngest sister of Gianna (book 2) and Emma (book 4).
    As ever with this series, the lighthearted feel is tempered with the secrets Eva is keeping from her family and Donovan. I think the more serious storylines interspersed with the fun are really what make this series so successful.
    I become invested in the outcome being a happy one and the main protagonists taking me on a journey to fulfilment.
    Long may Lucy find a way to revisit the people of Blue Moon, but if it were to be an end note, the series has gone off on a high. I secretly hope she writes more though😁

    I could not wipe the smile off my face the entire time I read this book I am so happy to return to Blue Moon and spend time with the quirky citizens of this hippie town. Donavan the sexy town sheriff falls fast for the klutzy writer Eva. You will fall in love with this wonderful heroic good guy and want Eva for your best friend. Score has written about a town we all want to live in, this entire series is a must read for anyone that's wants too smile and laugh out loud while falling in love.
