  • Order of Lucy Score Books

If there were ever a literary architect who could build an entire town from scratch—complete with nosy neighbors, swoony handymen, and heroines who don’t take crap from anyone—it would be Lucy Score. She's the New York Times, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal bestselling author who makes readers cancel plans, lose sleep, and fall irrevocably in love with fictional characters who feel way too real.

???? The Woman Behind the Words

Born on March 26, 1974, Lucy Score grew up in a small town in Pennsylvania—yes, the kind of place that ends up as the charming, sometimes chaotic backdrop in many of her novels. That hometown vibe clings to her writing like the scent of fresh-baked pie from a county fair. She hasn't died, by the way—thank goodness—but if her characters have anything to say about it, she'd go out in a blaze of sarcastic glory, probably while rescuing a cat and roasting a villain with a one-liner.

She attended West Chester University, where she earned a degree in journalism. And thank the book gods for that, because after a brief and admittedly less fun stint writing for newspapers, Lucy realized she wanted to tell stories where the bad guys always get what's coming, and the good guys get to kiss the girl—and then some.

✏️ From Burnout to Bestseller

Lucy didn’t start her writing career with glitter and confetti. Nope. It was all hustle and caffeine-fueled chaos. She wrote her first full-length novel while juggling a corporate job, sneaking in chapters during her lunch break, after hours, and sometimes even in the backseat of her car. That kind of grit bleeds into her heroines—women who don't have it all together, but damn it, they’re trying.

In 2015, she self-published her debut novel Pretend You’re Mine, and it exploded like fireworks over a summer carnival. Since then, she's built an empire of feel-good, hot-and-bothered romantic comedies and steamy slow-burns, becoming a poster child for indie publishing done right.

???? The Lucy Score Vibe

What makes Lucy Score Lucy Score? It’s the way she gives her readers a ticket to emotionally immersive towns, populated with quirky characters, loveable pets, and enough banter to make your cheeks hurt. Her writing is whip-smart, sarcastic, yet dripping with heart. You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. And then you’ll immediately search for the next book because you need more.

Her romances don’t just sizzle—they simmer, slow-cooking the tension until you’re practically screaming at the page. But it’s not just about the romance. Lucy weaves in themes of family, healing, forgiveness, and occasionally, a scandal that could rock the entire town council.

???? Life, Love, and the Writing Cave

Lucy lives in Pennsylvania with her husband—whom she hilariously refers to as "Mr. Lucy"—and their bossy little cat. She’s known for writing in pajamas, drinking copious amounts of coffee, and engaging with her fandom with the warmth of a lifelong best friend.

She doesn’t take herself too seriously, which makes reading her books and following her journey a whole mood. Her author newsletters? Comedy gold. Her behind-the-scenes peeks? Chaotic in the best way.

And yes, Lucy Score is still writing. Which means there are more smoldering heroes, snappy heroines, and small-town secrets coming your way.

???? Final Words (For Now…)

So, who is Lucy Score? She’s the literary equivalent of that one friend who always shows up with wine, gossip, and tissues—ready for whatever drama the night brings. She's proof that you can build an empire from scratch, dream big from a small town, and that romance books, when done right, are pure magic.

And now that you know her story, don’t you want to dive into her books and see what all the fuss is about?

Because trust me—once you meet the men of Knockemout or the firecracker women in Benevolence, there's no going back. And honestly? You won’t want to.
