The Christmas Fix, the second book in the Welcome Home series by Lucy Score, is a charming, feel-good small town story…with a bit of heat…that has you nearly in tears one moment and then snort laughing the next.

Several ever-evolving threads interwoven throughout create a captivating and fast-paced story. What starts out as an attempted rescue (both physically and emotionally) of a small town after a devastating storm prompts the cancellation of a Christmas celebration/income-generating festival…turns into a misjudgment of true intentions and character.

As with each of Ms Score’s books I read, I'm truly saddened when I come to the end of the story. I become embarrassingly emotionally invested in her unique and relatable characters that it's difficult to say goodbye.

This ARC book was complimentary…provided by the Publisher and NetGalley. I am voluntarily providing my honest review.

Yet again there was no problem with the plot or writing style but the two main characters were unbearable people. I liked Cat well enough from the previous book (Mr. Fixer Upper) so I had some hope but ultimately this was fairly mediocre.

Thank you to NetGalley and Sourcebooks Bloom Books for the eARC in exchange for an honest review.

Cat King is not to be underestimated. She is smart, funny, and probably knows more about construction and design than most men.

After reading about her twin brother Gannon in Mr. Fixer Upper, I was excited to find out Cat would be getting her own book.

The town of Merry has survived a terrible hurricane and flooding. Cat and her reality show construction crew had visited Merry previously and she remained close with the family. She wants to help the town, but first she's got to convince town manager Noah.

Their verbal sparring was hilarious, and despite the fact that they don't get along one bit you will find yourself rooting for them from the beginning.

I have found that Lucy Score's books are full of humor and witty dialogue, but also heartfelt story lines and wonderful main characters with big hearts. If you have read and liked any of her books, you will love The Christmas Fix!

I am a big fan of the single dad trope AND christmas so naturally this was right up there for me. I am not always crazy about one of the MC's being involved in the public eye, like our reality star Catalina however Lucy Score never fails to impress me. The book is funny and well-written. I particularly love the small-town vibes that she writes about so often and this one fit the bill.

I was concerned after reading #1 in the series that the characters here would infuriate me as well, but I was sooooo wrong.
I feel like this book just ticked all of the right boxes for me. The main characters were passionate and likable through out the book. I found myself highlighting adorable parts when I hardly ever do. I laughed a few times and overall I enjoyed the maturity level of two adults actually being able to communicate with each other.
Cat didn’t compromise her future or her plans she just found happiness in a different level and made it work for her and the people she loved.
A++ for having real apologizes, very little miscommunication, great spice, and a cute but not overdone HEA.

Stop this book was so freaking cute!! I literally couldn't put it down no matter how hard I tried. It was so much fun and I am thoroughly obsessed with single parent tropes, especially in a Christmastime/holiday setting.

This book was so much fun, the characters had significantly more amount of chemistry than I initially thoughts, and their banter was just spot on.

Lucy always writes the best banter, and she did not let me down with this one!

This book was literally amazing, so perfect going into the holiday season & Noah? The ultimate dreamboat.

Thank you NetGalley for an eARC in exchange for an honest review!

I LOVED this enemies to lovers romance, especially centered around the holiday feel. Lucy Score has such a way of creating complex and interesting characters and dialogue and I really saw that shine throughout.

how did i read this already? is this a repub? i'm so clueless sometimes i swear! anyway! this is for those hgtv lovers – i felt like i was watching one of my favorite shows play out on the pages alongside a cute little romcom.

Loved this book! It was the perfect mix of feel good, banter, and spice and although it is set at the holidays it can be enjoyed any time of year. This is the story of Cat King who we met in Mr. Fixer Upper but it can be read as a standalone.

Cat King has continued to make her name doing renovations on tv but is getting ready to branch out and try new things. When a hurricane floods the town of Merry where she rebuilt a house for a family she know calls friends she has an idea. An idea that will help the town and give her the holiday special that will make both her and the network happy, The town of Merry hosts a Christmas celebration that is the town's livelihood but the hurricane has devastated much of the town and there is no way it will be able to hold the celebration. When Cat approaches the city manager, Noah Yates, he refuses, he will not have his town taken advantage of for television ratings and to build the ego of a television star. What Noah doesn't realize is that Cat is not doing this for her ego and she will not take no for an answer, Sparks fly as Cat works to prove Noah wrong and have the town rebuilt in time for Christmas Eve tree lighting. Will Noah and Cat find a way to trust each other? This will grab hold of your heart and have you invested in the town of Merry and in Noah and Cat figuring out what their hearts want.

This was my second Lucy Score book after Mr. Fixer Upper. I had been seeing her name for a while but never picked one of her books up. I am SO glad I did. I loved Cat and Noah's story. Their relationship-building, miscommunication, and the plausibility of the story all make for a good satisfying read. While I don't think I loved it AS much as Gannon and Paige's story, it was still solid. Thanks for the ARC!

Cat is on a mission to save the small town of Merry after a devastating flood. But first, she must win over grumpy city manager, Noah.

Just like the first book in this series, it's classic Lucy Score. The small town feel really comes through with this one! The quirky townsfolk are all over this and I'm here for it! Beyond that, you get to see returning characters from book one (infusing Paige and Gannon!).

Cat is one of my fave FMCs. She is so strong yet super sassy. You can just feel her determination the entire book. Add to that, grumpy Noah who you can see is just perfect for her. The burn for these two is seriously hot. The spice is well placed and so well written!

Thank you to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for the gifted copy. My reviews are always honest.

This Christmas Fix is a great Christmas read. Noah and Cat have such explosive chemistry. Noah doesn't want Cat and her camera crew anywhere near his town but Cat is a very determined woman with a huge heart and won't let him tell her no. Mr. Fixxer Upper is the first book in this series and even though The Christmas Fix can absolutely be read as a stand alone, I recommend reading the first book in the series as well. You get to see more of Cat while getting a great story about her brother's love and now in The Christmas Fix you also get her brother and family making an appearance which I always love seeing where these characters end up in the future.

I highly recommend this book, it will definitely put you in the Christmas spirit.

Thank you to Lucy Score, SOURCEBOOKS Bloom Books, and Netgalley for this ARC

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this arc.

Great Christmas read- check, the return of some great characters- check check

I really enjoyed Book 1 in this series and was excited to read part 2, it definitely didn’t disappoint with old characters and new with a splash of Christmas cheer- another great read from Lucy Score!

The best book to start the christmas season! Lucy Score nails it with the holiday season! This review is none spoiler.. I will have the spoiler on goodreads! Thanks for allow me to review this book!

lucy score could literally never do me wrong. lucy score plus christmas? a recipe for nothing. but a good time!!! love this love her love christmas

I loved the banter in this book! The enemies to lovers aspect was done beautifully and it had a good amount of holiday aspects.

Catalina is a home renovation tv star and wants to use her influence to help a small town that was hit by a storm— just in time for Christmas. The problem? The city manager Noah isn’t on board.

Over the course of her special, Noah learns that Catalina isn’t what he assumed she would be.

It lacked a little bit of dimension in the plot but it was overall a fun read!

I love this Christmas book so so much. It's Christmas meets HGTV and I absolutely loved it. Per usual, Lucy Score gives you all of the laughs and romance. It's a top Christmas read for me and I love this new cover!

When a hurricane devastates the small town of Merry, Cat King and her renovation team offer to step in to help clean up the town and get it restored by Christmas. Noah Yates, the town’s manager is less than thrilled to have a TV crew invading his town. While his first impression of Cat is left lacking, Noah realizes that it is for the good of the town to cooperate.

The Christmas Fix is the second book in the Fixer series. It is an open-door romance and can be read as a stand-alone. (I have not yet read the first book in the series but plan to do so soon.)

What I enjoyed about this book wasn’t even the romance. It is so nice to see exes (Noah and Mellody) portrayed as amicable. They’re co-parenting to the best of their abilities without any hostility. I don’t see that as much as I’d like to in books, romance or otherwise. One parent is always made to be the bad person and that is not the case in The Christmas Fix.

If you’re looking for a heartwarming Christmas story with some spice, this may be a great fit for you.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Thank you to NetGalley and Sourcebooks Bloom Books!

The Christmas Fix by Lucy Score is a heartwarming and steamy romance novel set during the festive season. This delightful story combines tender moments with lighthearted humor, making it a perfect read for Christmas.

I loved everything about this book - such a feel-good holiday story. Cat and Noah are at odds over the restoration of his town at first, but then she and her team gradually win him over. There are lots of little side stories going on in this book, about the townspeople, and their friends and family that really round out the story and make it not just about the romance between Cat and Noah, but the whole town's recovery from disaster.
