Fix Her Up by Carey Heywood | Review
Synopsis:
If Finley Reeves is an expert at anything, it's making mistakes. She proved this true by falling for and marrying the wrong man. Ten years later all she has to show for it is a divorce... and a broken heart. Needing not only to get away, but also to start over somewhere new, she buys a fixer upper that's one step away from being condemned. Deciding to tackle this project alone might be her biggest mistake of all.
That is, until Noah Thompson shows up at her front door like a knight in a a shining tool belt. Determined she doesn't need any help, she pushes him away until he makes her an offer she'd be crazy to refuse.

My Review:
This book opened up and swallowed me whole. I read through the majority of it in a little less than two days. I love Carey's writing style. She writes these cutey damsel in distress female characters and the strong silent type of males. Finley is a women starting over in a new town and new state she knows nothing about. Noah is the local contractor and his family pretty much runs all the businesses in town, he wants to help her.
"She lifts the decorative box from the top of my desk. 'I love this box.' Opening the lid, she asks, 'Why is it full of fortune cookie fortunes?' My cheeks redden. 'They're from all the times Noah and I had Chinese.'"
I love this plot line, I love HGTV shows, so this story spoke to me. Finley and Noah are so cute together and I love the families. My only problem is that I feel the end was a bit rushed. The last few chapters skip like a few months at a time. I wish to have seen some more of what happened in that span of time. But I did love how it ended and hope to read more from these characters soon.
"Most of the time we've been able to make it up to my bedroom. The times he laid me out on the dining room table, spread me on the stairs and took me on my kitchen countertop were the only exceptions to that."
