Absolutely loved it again. Noah is the best. My heart breaks for him as a child. I love seeing how Catalina is portrayed in this book versus Mr. Fixer Upper, her twin brothers book. As if I couldn't love her enough as a take no shit supporting character, she's even better as a main. Shows a different side that I absolutely loved.

The perfect enemies-to-lovers Christmas read! I loved the tropes in this along with the festive atmosphere. Fun little holiday read with emotional depth and interesting characters.

An absolute adorable Christmas book. I was crying by the end, steamy and sexy, Lucy never lets us down with a good read

I’ve never met a Lucy Score book I didn’t like. Add in the Christmas element, and it’s even better! This book is what you want every Hallmark Christmas movie to be like. It has the big city girl, small town single dad & the most magical Christmas town as its backdrop.

Cat & Noah despise each other right off the bat. If you like the enemies to lovers trope, then you’ll love this book!

It was a cute, easy read. It’s the perfect kind of book to snuggle up with by a fire with snow falling outside! I am now officially in the Christmas spirit! 🎄🎅🏽⛄️

A hurricane has left the town of Merry in despair, with ruined houses and floods. Cat convinces Mr Noah to let he and her show and rebuild the town and film. She is trying to accomplish this by Christmas. Noah and Cat had been enemies, but Cat has won him over when he realizes what a special person Cat is. Since Cat is only there long enough to rebuild Merry and leave, she was not looking for a serious relationship, nor fall in love. She is wanting to have fun though, and she may find ways to have it with Noah.

I loved the characters in this book and I enjoyed reading it. I will be looking for more fun to read books by Lucy Score!

Thank you to Netgalley for the copy of this e-book!

This was one of the most enjoyable, non-cringy, Christmas rom com books I have ever read! Loved the enemies to lovers dynamic and the small town/found family coming together to help after a natural disaster. Would definitely recommend!

I have yet to be disappointed by a Lucy Score book. This one was just what I needed to get me into the holiday mood. I loved every second of it and devoured it from cover to cover. I was sucked in since the first page.

The Christmas Fix was… fine. The main characters were both… fine. Neither was particularly likable in my opinion, but they were not unlikable either. I was not a super fan of Cat in Mr. Fixer Upper either, but I had hoped she would be a little more fleshed out in this one- that was not the case. I’ve read a bunch of books with “Christmas towns” that have drawn the setting in a less obvious, corny way- Julie Murphy/Sierra Simone’s collaborations come to mind. For me, the town elicited a lot of eye rolls and didn't seem to find any humor in its ridiculousness. Redeeming qualities: the daughter, the backstory of abuse/neglect, and maybe Cat's assistant.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

After reading Mr. Fixer Upper, I was hoping Cat would get her own book!

A flood has ruined the small town Merry, Connecticut. And they won’t have time to fix things for their holiday festival. Cat remembered this town from when they filmed her hgtv style show before and is eager to help the town. Noah is a great single dad and the town’s Mayor. He does not want Cat and her tv crew to come in and show their towns distress. But Cat won’t take no for an answer. Soon their hatred towards each other turns into undeniable chemistry.
I loved the banter and sizzling chemistry these two had! I enjoyed watching them develop feelings for each other, and of course, the spice 🔥

This is one of my favorite Christmas books yet! I wish it would be made into a movie!
It’s cozy, charming, and just the most adorable read! Grab your hot chocolate and get ready to devour this book! The perfect Christmas rom-com!

📘: The Christmas Fix by Lucy Score

Thank you to NetGalley, Lucy Score, and Sourcebook Bloom Books for this ARC!

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

*Reviewed on NetGalley and Goodreads.

4 stars out of 5!

This was a great enemies to lovers book with a Christmas feel splashed in. I finished book 1 in the series before this one and I really enjoyed this one much better. I adored Cat in the first book and this book really let her character shine. Noah, the other main character, is also one of my favorites. He's a little bit grumpy and likes to say no a lot but by the end of the book his character really comes together. The small town feel really elevated the book and I love that it took place leading up to Christmas. It gave all the feels!

In the Christmas Fix, the town of Merry is devastated by a flood caused by a hurricane that swept thru the town. A couple years prior, Cat did a reno on a home for a sweet family in that same town. She goes to Merry to assess the damage and finds it in bad shape, including the house she just did the reno for. She convinces the TV network to do a Christmas special on rebuilding the town but Noah, the towns manager, wants nothing to do with the TV cameras and the network coming to help. Eventually he gives in and Cat and her crew come to try and make magic happen. They need to rebuild the town in time for their annual Christmas festival that everyone is looking forward too.

Lucy Score is one of my favorite authors and she really nailed this book. I'm looking forward to what she has in store for us next!

Thank you Netgalley and SOURCEBOOKS Bloom Books for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

“you’re the color in a gray day”

well, it happened: I found a Lucy Score book I didn’t wholeheartedly love. I need to make it very clear, this is not a bad book. it’s sexy, and warm, and funny, and it has wonderful characters! but it just didn’t do it for me. in general, I’m not the biggest fan of holiday books, so perhaps I was already subconsciously reading it with that mentality.

the biggest challenge for me was I just never felt the chemistry between Cat and Noah. she’s a reality TV home designer with a huge personality set on saving Christmas for Noah’s town that was recently struck by a natural disaster. he’s a stick-in-the-mud city manager that wants nothing to do with her fake interest and the media circus that follows her. he despises her and everything she represents without question, and he’s quite clear about his disapproval of her. naturally, he warms up to her, but I felt like it was such a dramatic shift in his opinion, and I never felt their actual connection.

my interest picked up a lot more in the last quarter of the book when the problem shifted from hating each other to figuring out how to work together and what their future might look like.

I genuinely believe this is the type of holiday romance many people will absolutely love, and I fully support that! if you’re a romance reader, and you want a seasonal holiday read, try this one. just because it simply wasn’t my favorite doesn’t mean it won’t be yours!

thank you to Bloom Books for sending me a digital copy of this book for review!

Spicy and adorable! I thought I was not a Lucy Score fan but I was dead wrong. She hooked me with this series and I really liked all yhe characters.

Cat King is determined to save the town of Merry Connecticut by filling her holiday special for her home renovation show on location. The town was hit by a hurricane that resulted in massive flood and damage. However, grumpy town manager, Noah Yates, doesn't want a reality show capitalizing on the tragedy. It soon becomes clear that in order to fix up the town for the annual holiday special, they will need the money Cat's show is willing to provide. These 2 enemies have a knack for getting under each others skin, that is until one drunken make out session in an alley takes the tension in a new direction. Cat and Noah will have to work together to pull off a Christmas Miracle.

Lucy Score will FOREVER be an author for me that I have to buy! I loved the cover of this one and knew I had to read it! I absolutely adored this and can't wait to get my hands on a physical copy!

I love this book and I love the new cover! It's so cute.

Noah and Cat are such lovable characters ( most of the time haha). I loved watching their love story unfold! Nice spice too!

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for allowing me to read this arc in exchange for an honest review!!

Hey y’all, I hit the NetGalley lottery and SCORED the new Lucy Score, book.

Did you see what I did there?

I’m hilarious.

I LOVE holiday books. Weird, because I’m not a hallmark movie fan,

I know, I know I’m like the 2 percent who hates poor acting and fake snow

Bah, Humbug

However, Lucy Score, has managed to steal my heart and show me what life could be like through rose colored glasses.

Lucy Score, you are a what bubble gum palaces and fruit flavored streams are made of,

Again, I lucked out with this one and I didn’t mean to pick it up today . My husband was screaming at the Giants and my niece finally went down for a nap so I started scrolling .

Let’s see what this is about …

The Christmas Fix

This little horn dog loved all the spice!!! Warm me up you little sugar butt! Noah, although a super grouch has some sex appeal . Is it his dedication to being a dad? Maybe? Is it the growl of his voice or the fact that he’s incredibly demanding and authorities? I don’t know but sign me up!!

All kidding aside, this enemies to lovers will have you laughing, crying and down right swooning !

Check out this teaser:

She'll save Christmas just to spite him…

There's only one thing standing in the way of Cat King saving Merry, Connecticut's Christmas festival: Grumpy town manager Noah Yates.

Single dad Noah takes his responsibilities seriously. When a late season hurricane turns his town into a disaster, he's left scrambling to pick up the pieces of the town he loves.

At least, until home renovation expert and 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 young 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?

Perfect for holiday romance mood!
It’s November 1st so you know it’s time for Christmas romance & The Christmas Fix was exactly what I needed.
It’s cute, spicy, and filled with holiday vibes.
You’re gonna love it.

Loved this book!
I immediately wanted more of Catalina King and the whole Kong family after book one and this book did not disappoint!
Cat and Noah were such a thrill ride to read!

If You Loved Mr Fixer Upper. You will Love this Sweet Enemy to Lover Christmas Story that continues with Cat King and all the great characters from Mr Fixer Upper.

As a workaholic. Cat never gives up fixing problem and going after her dreams. As a devastating hurricane blows in two months before Christmas. She feels the need to help rebuild the town she grew to love. Having to fight the town leader wasn’t in her plans. Who wouldn’t except free help?As she battles one obstacle after obstacle he keeps throwing her way. She must decide what her future will hold. A grumpy Town Leader and the citizens she’s come to Love. Or follow a Life time dream that’s placed at her feet.

I will literally read anything that Lucy Score writes and this book is just another example of her genius! Her writing style kept me hooked though the whole book and I got a big boost of seratonin thanks to all the amazing Christmassy descriptions! Definitely will recommend to friends and some will probably get this as a Christmas present from me!
