She’ll save Christmas just to spite him…
There’s only one thing standing in the way of Cat King saving a small town’s Christmas festival: Grumpy town manager Noah Yates.
Single dad Noah takes his responsibilities seriously. When a late season hurricane turns Merry, Connecticut, into a disaster, he’s left scrambling to pick up the pieces of the town he loves.
At least, until home renovation expert and smoking hot reality TV star Catalina King arrives with a camera crew and a budget big enough to put the town back together again. But Noah doesn’t want a celebrity diva capitalizing on their tragedy or filling his daughter’s head with visions of glitz and glam.
Blonde bombshell Cat is used to being underestimated, but Noah has an uncanny knack for getting under her skin. They can’t be in a room together without rubbing each other the wrong way…except that time in the dark alley where the rubbing was just right. Can these enemies work together to pull off a Christmas miracle or will their fighting leave them both on the naughty list?
Author’s Note: These enemies-to-lovers deliver the holiday feels with a dirty-talking hero, ballsy blonde who never backs down, steamy hot break-the-dining-room-table sexy times, and a small town that still believes in the magic of Christmas.
‘Tis the Season to be in Merry!
If you haven’t been enchanted by a Lucy Score book, perhaps the Bloom release of The Christmas Fix (only to be precluded by Mr. Fixer Upper) will be the fix for your holiday romance set in a small town (duh) craving.
Because who isn’t craving a small town, holiday romance at this time of year? There’s an entire network who has cornered the market on cozy holiday romances, but what they can’t deliver on is the superb repartee of Lucy Score characters and the spice that kindles even the coldest of grinchy hearts. Not to mention, Lucy Score guarantees a happily ever after and epilogues that would satisfy absolutely everyone.
The Christmas Fix premise is simple. Devastated by flooding the small town of Merry is in dire need of a fix or all the of holiday revenue that gets them through the winter is lost, the residents displaced, and the businesses shuttered. Noah is the Town Planner and the man tasked with saving his small town. His only option is partnering with Catalina (Cat) a superstar in the renovation world and current star of a hit show on a home and building network. Cat is more than ready to roll up her sleeves and put in the long hours it would take to get Merry up and running by Christmas Eve, but Noah wants nothing to do with it.
“If people wanted to keep putting her in the pretty Barbie box, she was just going to keep cutting and smashing her way out over and over again until they learned her lesson.”
Luckily for him, Cat doesn’t back down from the surly single dad, and Noah hasn’t got any other options. At every interaction Cat and Noah’s chemistry is off the charts. Their animosity and banter are catnip for enemies to lover’s fans. Although I particularly enjoyed that Noah and his ex are amicable co-parents for their daughter. That portrayal of a modern co-parenting relationship is refreshing when so many exes are depicted as the antagonist of many storylines.
Lucy Score always delivers on plenty of lead up with foreplay mixed with banter and ultimately plenty of smoldering spice. The cast of characters from previous books made it thoroughly enjoyable. Even though it’s been years since I read Mr. Fixer Upper when it first released, I can say that I didn’t miss out on any of the details so The Christmas Fix can easily be read as a standalone.
If you’re looking for a holiday romance that delivers a cozy HEA but doesn’t skimp on the banter and the spice then look no further. The Christmas Fix is available everywhere you want to buy a book and is also available in audiobook too! Bee sure to look for Darienne’s review of Mr. Fixer Upper as well!
