This one was so cute and the perfect way to start off December. A reality tv star finds herself in the small town of Merry to help them recover from a flood. Little does she know this filming, this town, is about to change her life.
Thank you for the e-book! What a fun book for the holidays!
“ You are the colour in a great day. I don’t know how else to describe it. I look at you and I see all this passion and joy and fun and excitement. I’ve never met anyone like you.”
Lucy Score nailed the enemies to lovers holiday romance. At the beginning of the book I couldn’t imagine Noah and Cat working out at all and by the middle all I wanted was their happily ever after.
Apparently I have this habit of reading Lucy Score’s books out of order but honestly I don’t think you need to read Gannon’s book to enjoy Cat’s. If you’re looking for a holiday romance with a single dad, small town, enemies-to-lovers with steamy scenes look no further. The Christmas Fix was the perfect book to start my holiday reading with.
In the midst of life's chaos, this book offered a unique and somewhat peculiar charm. It delicately balanced tender moments with the relentless pace of the busy world, creating an unusual but captivating narrative. The enemies-to-lovers theme at the beginning added an intriguing twist, setting the stage for a story that unfolded in unexpected ways.
The book's characters were a diverse and delightful bunch, making the reading experience thoroughly enjoyable. Their quirks and interactions brought a certain warmth and humor to the storyline, even as it navigated serious undertones. The blend of steamy scenes and moments of genuine connection added layers to the overall narrative.
While the book may not follow the conventional path, its departure from the expected contributed to its allure. It managed to be both strange and wonderful, offering a refreshing departure from the ordinary. In a world filled with literary predictability, this book dared to be different, and in doing so, carved out a distinctive place in the realm of contemporary fiction.
Cat wants to film a Christmas special for the network in Merry. Noah, the city manager, did not like Cats last visit to the town and turns down all her proposals. However, when Merry is hit by a hurricane and Cat and crew come with the intentions to help rebuild and save their Christmas’, Noah can’t exactly say no. One night with too many drinks causes things to come to a head between the two and sparks fly —and tables break. However, Cat doesn’t want to settle down, she likes her busy life and is trying to open a school. Noah is grounded in Merry, his life, career and daughter are there and Cat knows this fling is going to hurt. Noah, with the help of the town, do what they can to help Cat realize staying won’t be the worst thing ever.
this is my Lucy Score redemption book, I’ve read TWNGO (and purchased the rest of the series but haven’t read it yet), Maggie Moves on and Mr. Fixer Upper and was hesitant to read this one but I’m so glad I did. I LOVED this storyline. I think Cat is so badass and cool, the person I want to believe I am (but I know I’m not😂) and Noah is so sweet and broken in his own way and Cat just … pieces him back together. Sara’s the cutest. I know this book came out first but being I read The True Love experiment that’s basically it reminded me of but add christmas and a broken table. A great holiday book overall, and I think if you’re debating on giving Lucy Score a go, this should be the book you choose. Don’t waste time with Mr. Fixer Upper — just read this.
Lucy Score's the Christmas Fix is a prefect cozy read or the "Christmas fix" for this Christmas! Enemies to lovers trope, with Grumpy X Sunshine vibes mixed with a Single Dad in a Small town Christmas Festival! I knew this Dad would do anything for his daughter this Christmas because I would too! I loved the Christmas vibes and references to this heartfelt romance. Lucy Score is just getting better and better! Please sit down with this book and some Hot Cocoa because you will love it this holiday!
❤️🌲 The Christmas Fix Review 🌲❤️
Thank you so much to Lucy Score and netGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book!!
The Christmas Fix is a standalone holiday contemporary romance. After the town of Merry is devastated by a hurricane, Cat wants to bring her home improvement reality show in to help fix the town. But Noah, the town manager, is refusing to have her help. When Cat arrives with cameras and a budget big enough to fix the whole town, how can Nate refuse?
This was an adorable holiday read! I really like home improvement shows, so the incorporation of that into the plot was really fun! Cat was a strong character and I enjoyed her growth throughout this story! Nate was a wonderful grumpy character and perfect for her! The plot was cute, but I did find some parts to be a little predictable
Overall this was a solid four star read! Fun characters and a cute story! This book had some spicy scenes throughout, so overall three flames for spice!
If you’re a fan of holiday romcoms with strong characters, small town romance, and all the grumpy sunshine vibes, then absolutely pick this one up!!
Thank you to Bloom, Lucy Score, and NetGalley for providing me an eARC of The Christmas Fix in exchange for my honest review.
The Christmas Fix follows Cat and Noah, Noah is the city manager for the town of Merry. Merry recently suffered from a hurricane and all the buildings were flooded and destroyed. Cat wants to fix Merry so they can have their Christmas Festival, however, Noah is very much against it. Watching Noah realize how wrong he was made this book so enjoyable. Cat finds joy in proving people's assumptions about her wrong. That is what made the dynamic so fun to read about. There was so much hatred at first, however, neither could stay away from the other. There are also so many tie-ins to Mr. Fixer-Upper, that are enjoyable.
There is something about Lucy Score's storytelling that is so enjoyable to read. I have yet to find a book by her (including this one) that I have not enjoyed. Score is magnificent in ensuring that the characters go on a journey, which is included in the book's subplots. I would highly recommend this book to all romance readers.
I didn’t finish this story. I really liked the characters of Noah and Sara, but I got sick of being preached to about every social issue. I just wanted a good Christmas story.
This story could gave been better. There are wonderful, relatable characters and a great story line. The townspeople could have been given more focus. Cat King and her film and construction crews roll into town after a major flood determined to fix it by Christmas. Noah, the town nabager is skeptical and doesn't care for the pushy reality TV star. Later they get together and act like a couple ofvteens with raging hormones. They make out in dark alleys and vehicles. I find this ridiculous behavior for two supposedly very responsible adults who both have a place of their own. Their live life was also too explicit in my opinion. Thus could gave been a great book without the it.
Love love loved this book! With this being the second in the series I truly loved seeing cats character and the appearances from Gannon! I wasn’t sure if dig the Christmas vibes but it was done perfectly!
Really enjoyed reading this super cute holiday romance. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this ARC in exchange for my honest review.
The Christmas Fix by Lucy Score is a delightful holiday read that flawlessly blends the magic of Christmas with a captivating enemies-to-lovers romance. The festive setting added an enchanting backdrop to the characters' journey, making it a perfect seasonal escape.
This was such a fun holiday read that could be read any time of the year. It tops the charts when it comes to enemies-to-lovers and is full of small-town charm reminiscent of a Hallmark movie town. When a hurricane hits Merry, Connecticut a few months before Christmas, home renovation reality star Catalina is set to return to the town she previously filmed in to help. Too bad the VERY grumpy town manager and single dad, Noah wants nothing to do with her. Noah (aka Mr. No) is against everything he *thinks* Cat stands for. Their dislike puts them up against each other at every turn, but Cat isn’t someone to back down and soon their animosity turns into attraction.
The romance was a slow burn, yes it does have spice. I loved the banter, witty humor, and BIG swoony moments. It’s full of endearing characters, yes, even Noah who pushes the limits on rudeness and misconceptions. I loved the people and the huge sense of community. I found myself smiling and laughing…a lot.
The Christmas Fix is basically a Hallmark Christmas movie in book format, and was perfect for this time of year! A grumpy, small town, city manager faces off with a strong willed, “high maintenance”, reality TV star from the city. After disaster hits Merry, CT and threatens their annual Christmas festival, they need to work together despite their differences to make the festival become a reality. Some parts were a bit cheesy, but that’s what we want and expect for a holiday rom com!
This was my first Lucy Score book and it was a fun, sexy holiday story!
Cat King is not only a reality TV star but she is a contractor by trade. So when a severe storm washes through a small town called Merry (adorable, I know) she convinces the network to allow her to save this town in time for Christmas. The only real person she has to try hard to convince is Noah, the town manager.
Noah has lived in Merry his whole life and this town gave him a lot when he had nothing. Every year they put together a huge Christmas festival which brings in lots of revenue for the town. With the flooding this year it doesn’t look like it will be very Merry in Merry unless he allows the gorgeous Cat King and her camera crew to take over their town.
I’m pretty sure Cat is a blond bombshell but when she was working construction or designing something or working on production all I could picture was Joanna Gaines.
Too holiday, DNF. I haven’t read Lucy Score’s other books, but this one was more holiday than I thought it would be. Probably not the right target audience for this one…
The formatting is unfortunately broken in the kindle version. I was unable to read.
Thank you to NetGalley and Sourcebooks for the ARC.
Enemies to lovers holiday book I am here for it!! The tragedy and community coming together was so heartwarming. This book is just so sweet and steamy. Perfect holiday read!
Cat King goes back to the small town of Merry to help rebuild the town after a hurricane takes out a lot of the town. The only thing standing in her way is Noah Yates, the grumpy town manager. Noah thinks that Cat is there to profit off the town, but in reality, she is really there to help. It doesn’t help that his daughter is obsessed with Cat or that she is extremely attractive. Will she be able to work with Noah to rebuild the town or will the Christmas holiday be sad for everyone.
Loved this story and the tidbits of Christmas we got without it being full on cheesy Christmas. Noah’s daughter was a cute addition and I like how there was careful consideration about the potential relationship without just jumping into one.
The Christmas Fix was a fun holiday read. Cat and Noah are likeable characters. Cat is a reality TV star on a home renovation network. When a town where she fixed a house has a terrible flood she hopes to make the town her next project. She wants to do a Christmas special and get the town back on it's feet before Christmas. The only thing standing in her way is the town's manager Noah. Noah is convinced that Cat just wants the publicity and doesn't truly care about the town. Both characters have strong personalities and eventually find themselves understanding each other better and falling for each other.
