Mr. Fixer Upper by Lucy Score is the first book of her King Siblings book. It is a romance with big “he falls first” energy that is sweet and has some spice. I honestly only picked this up because I want to read The Christmas Fix and that is the second book after this one.
I adore Gannon’s persistence in his pursuit of Paige. I appreciate how capable Paige is presented with her work. I like the short, quick chapters that make for easy reading. The seasonal designations throughout the book are a fun way to track time jumps. And it sheds a serious light on the pay gap and limitations that women find themselves dealing with in the workforce.
I did overall enjoy this one but a few things weren’t great for me here. It was a bit of a slow starter for me. I got tired of Paige constantly denying her feelings, looking at it as a choice between either a career or a love life with no way to balance the two. But Gannon really made the book for me and I was definitely rooting for him. And now I am SO ready to see Cat in a Christmas story!
