A Lucy score signature full of charming + tender moments with the perfect amount of spice! I’m not always the biggest fan of Christmas romance books but this was so fun and I found myself giggling and blushing the whole way through! If there’s one thing about me it’s that I will always gobble up a rivals to lovers books and this hit the spot! This wasn’t overly cheesy which I appreciated and all the characters were so enjoyable!!

“…the point of working hard isn’t really getting people to notice how hard you work. It’s about giving it your all and being able to walk away with no regrets. Doing a good job shouldn’t be so someone else tells you that you did good. It should be about you feeling good about your effort.”

“There’s no life-work balance. Okay? Get it? It’s all life. You get the same twenty-four hours as the next girl. Fill yours with what you love.”

The Christmas Fix was a fun banter-filled romcom set in a small town called Merry, Connecticut. After the tragic aftermath of a hurricane, filling the streets with water and destruction, the town of Merry is devastated that they will not be able to celebrate their yearly Christmas traditions. There is a lot of pressure on Noah, the town manager, to bring back the spirit and rebuild in time to not suffer economically.

Catalina, a home renovation expert comes into the picture in her pursuit of helping to save the town. She uses the opportunity to record and rebuild and there is nothing to get in her way, not even Noah and his stubborn head. Entering into an agreement, the two begin connecting over the Christmas spirit and newfound feelings. Love the banter between these two!

An easy and super entertaining read!

Enemies to lovers contemporary romance, set in a small town recently devastated by weather bad enough to be considered a disaster and cancel the usual holiday festivities. Then, TV star and renovation expert Catalina King breezes into town to save the day. Some steamy romance ensues about halfway into the book. It all ends in a HEA.

By the time this review posts, it'll be wayyyyy beyond the Christmas season; the beauty of this novel, however, is that it doesn't need to be Christmas for you to enjoy it. The story of Cat and Noah is a tale as old as time--mortal enemies (because they don't really know anything about each other) who will eventually find out that they're both as good as people think they are. They'll begrudgingly give the other the trust and accolades that they deserve and as they get to know each other, love will soon follow.

The Christmas Fix was a fun one. Cat is the hot, hardworking renovation reality tv star with a heart of gold (hiding behind her snark) and Noah is the hot, hardworking city manager also with a heart of gold (hiding behind his trust and control issues). Together they'll make you laugh and feel good at their happily ever after.

Fun, quick read.

This was a very cute book. I would almost call it a Hallmark story in book form. A very easy read that I really enjoyed!

An adorable and sweet holiday romance filled with a grumpy mmc, and sweet and caring fmc, a charming small-town, and a swoon-worthy plot to tie it all together.

I didn’t know I needed a single-dad Christmas romance until I read The Christmas Fix. This book had everything we love about Lucy’s storytelling: witty banter, grumpy vs sunshine banter, a small town that considers everyone family, cute and sassy girls, and a strong FMC.

Cat and Noah didn’t start their relationship on good terms but as the story evolved the sparks were flying and the chemistry was undeniable. I loved how (eventually) they communicated honestly about their expectations and feelings, there was no 3rd act break up, just two adults realizing that life is better when they have each other. Unlike some of her other books, I found the characters here very mature, nothing icky about how they acted, besides a bit of bickering.

This book really just took me for a ride. I loved the build up, the character development, and the writing. I would definitely read more from this author!

This was an adorable holiday read! Lucy Score is becoming the queen of small town romance reads and I'm here for it. Definitely a cute little story!

I just adore this author. This Christmas romance was just what I wanted to read. It was spicy and fun. Cat is so fun and has all the Christmas spirit. Her biggest road block is Noah. I love the enemies to lover vibes from this one. The romance and spice were very good. This is the second in a series that can be read as a standalone. The first one was really good too. Thank you to NetGalley and SOURCEBOOKS Bloom Books for the arc in exchange for my honest review.

The enemies-to-lovers aspect was en pointe within this story. The attraction was sizzling off the page between Noah and Cat and I couldn’t get enough of it. Lucy Score is known for her spicy scenes and there were a whole lotta of them! There were some funny moments but I could have done without the overused jumping to conclusion aspects that commonly occur in romance novels. However, the loveable King family and friends made up for it.

Small town romance, holiday setting, enemies to lovers, what else can you ask for in a holiday read.

Lucy Score does a great job creating the setting with the town of Merry in this novel. She's able to place the reader in Merry with her world building.

She also does a great job creating complex characters not only with her main characters Cat and Noah but with the side characters as well.

Thank you for the opportunity to read and review.

I liked but did not love this one. After adoring the first book, I was so excited for this one. Unfortunately, I wasn't sold on the romance - the chemistry didn't do it for me.

I will always love Lucy Score books after getting addicted to her Knockemout series. A cute holiday romance, very good for anyone looking for a holiday read

I adored this book! I love a good holiday romance and this one did not disappoint. 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. This is a holiday themed romcom but more steam and open door scenes than your average hallmark movie.

This is gives off Fixer Upper tv show vibes but instead of an adorable married couple - it’s a couple who fights about everything and clearly has some chemistry. Small town setting and all the heartwarming “save Christmas vibes”.

Lucy Score is one of my favorite rom com writers, and so it's no surprise that the Christmas fix is a five star read. Delightful and festive!
