I haven’t read many Lucy Score books, but I’m about to change that. This was such a wonderful holiday read. The perfect book if you are looking for a holiday romance. Really enjoyed this one and now I’m off to add more of her books to my library:)

Enemies to Lovers meets Hallmark Christmas Movie?! Immediate Yes. Great banter between the two main characters and a quick easy read!

When Catalina King returns to Merry, hoping to save Christmas after a devastating flood, she does not expect to clash with single dad and town manager Noah Yates. Can Noah overcome his 'Mr. No' reputation? Can Catalina pull off all the renovations in time for the town's annual Christmas festival? Can they both set aside their animosity to pull off a Christmas miracle for their town? You'll have to read and find out!

Thanks to NetGalley, Bloom Books, and Lucy Score for allowing me access to this book. All opinions are my own.

Such a great read!

Hallmark Christmas movie vibe, but of course WAY BETTER. Can we get this in a movie?

Cat and Noah were definitely likable characters and the small town setting was perfect. Loved the spice and the banter. Would totally recommend!

What a wonderful holiday book!! I love Lucy Score and as soon as I saw she had a Christmas book I knew I needed it . This book was everything I could have asked for and more. I loved the story and the great characters. It was such a great book for the holiday season or really any time of the year. She is for sure an auto read for me.

As this is my first Lucy Score book I had high expectations for the story given it's a holiday book and I've heard such great things about her writing and other books. I was excited for this one because I love a story that focuses on home renovations and gives off all the HGTV vibes. Unfortunately I didn't enjoy the story as much as I would have liked. I really didn't like the MMC at all. Normally they seem to redeem themselves by the end of the story for me but Noah had me disliking him throughout the entire story. I also think I may have just been overloaded on holiday books when I read this one that perhaps if I paused and picked the book back up at a later time I would have enjoyed it more. It was alright but there were other holiday books that I enjoyed a lot more.

In Lucy Score do we trust! Another fun book by her. Perfect for the holiday season without being too over the top. It was a perfect balance of romance and humor. I think my favorite part is that it read like a movie and I could tryly picture everything so clearly in my head.

This was one of the best books I read in 2023. It was the perfect way to get me into the holiday season.

The plot was amazing. Everything made sense and it all connected perfectly. One of my notes from reading this was “these are some of my favorite conflicts and conversations”. Definite reread material.

Cat and Noah had such amazing chemistry! The dynamic of control freak vs. town mayor was so fun to watch. They complemented each other so unexpectedly well.

I don’t think I have ever read a bad Lucy Score book. Great execution all around. I will definitely be reading this again.

This was the cutest holiday read! I enjoyed the ending so much. My only issue was how slow the beginning of the book was, but after that the story picks up and I enjoyed it 😊

The Christmas Fix is the perfect holiday romance for any lover of HGTV. Mixing the Christmas time with a reality home improvement show and a small town with a grumpy mayor is the perfect recipe for a holiday romance. This novel's tropes don't end there as our Mayor is also a single dad and the Mayor and Reality star have met before in their past. Lucy Score's writing is easily engaging, her characters are well rounded, and the situations in the story are charming and fun.

If you love a Hallmark Channel Holiday movie but always wish their was more steam and tension, then look no further than The Christmas Fix. It is a delicious read perfect to put you in the holiday spirit!

A Christmas book that also seems like that it is also a home improvement rom com. Which was the perfect combo. I love Lucy’s writing.

This one surprised me! I really like Lucy Score's newer work, but not as much her older stuff. The Christmas Fix was the exact holiday read I needed! So cute, great spice. Fun read!

My book club selected the Christmas Fix for December. I love Lucy Score and her books. The Christmas Fix did not disappoint with his delightful grumpy/sunshine, enemies-to-lovers, single-dad, holiday small-town romance. Cat and Noah are well-developed characters. I loved their steamy connection. Add this book to your romance reading list. It will give you all the warm and fuzzy holiday feelings we want this time of year.

📣 dislike to lovers contemporary featuring a buttoned up MMC & a renovation queen

(Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for the complimentary ARC. All opinions provided are my own.)

I’ll be honest & admit off the bat that I was leery of beginning this one bc I was nervous I would encounter a behemoth. But to my surprise, once I read a couple of chapters The Christmas Fix activated my “dislike to lovers” pleasure receptors & I was off.

Cat King and Noah Yates dislike each other immediately. She’s a reno expert & reality tv star & he is a starchy city manager who doesn’t want her to orchestrate and film any reno to his storm-ravaged town.

But somewhere along the way he realizes that there is much much more to her & also that he has embraced a locked-down life & the fun begins.

The Christmas Fix starts off a bit bumpy for me because both leads come across as abrasive. Cat is not willing to take no for an answer & Noah is very judgmental about her profession & interests & lifestyle & in a way that doesn’t feel potentially sexy.

But the steam keeps steamin’ & there are some majorly cute moments as Cat introduces him to grocery store & snow adventures. Noah’s unexpected vulnerability is heartwarming, even more so how Cat responds to it. I wanted a bit more from his evolution but overall, it’s nicely done.

Some of Lucy Score’s books haven’t worked for me in the past but The Christmas Fix is an adorable & hot & sweet holiday read that actually ties in nicely to the new year despite the title.

4.25 ⭐️. Out now!

I gave this one 50 pages and then couldn't continue. I just couldn't connect with the characters and found the whole thing to be too cheesy for me. This is the second Lucy Score book I've tried and I'm starting to think this might not be the right fit for me.

Thank you to NetGallery and the publisher for providing an advance copy of The Christmas Fix. This was my first Lucy Score book and I can't say I will be seeking out more. The saving grace of it was that it read like a Hallmark Christmas movie, which are at least easy enough to devour.

While I enjoy romance novels, they need to have substance. The first half of this book was rather boring and the "hate trope" (which admittedly, is my least favourite trope) felt rather unbelievable and forced. The sex scenes were too graphic for me and gave Tessa Bailey a run for her money!

Simply because of the Christmas setting, the book receives an extra point. The ending was somewhat touching and I liked both main characters (and Noah's daughter, Sara, too). The Christmas Fix meets the requirements of a feel-good Christmas story.

A cute Christmas story with some spice based on a cute town. I loved Noah and the story line of a makeover the town. I did not read the first book and you certainly don't need to read it to read this book. This is my first Lucy score book and can't wait to read another.

Thanks Netgalley for the ARC!

Who wouldn't love a small town Christmas story, especially by Lucy Score?!

I enjoyed this read and was a fun story to read after a much heavier one before it. I laughed aloud, startling my cat, several times throughout the story and look forward to a reread of this in the future.

Thank you to Netgalley, the author, and publisher for this Arc in exchange for a review!

This was a first read for me from this author. It was a cute Christmas story and I loved the characters. Would definitely recommend and read more from this author.

This was my favorite Christmas romance I read in 2023! Lucy Score is simply the queen of small town romances with found-family vibes (and her steamy scenes are truly some of the best out there)! An auto-buy author for me every time.

This was such a good holiday read, I really enjoyed it and was hooked straight from the start. I loved the story, the setting and the romance between the characters. It was overall an amazing read.
