Paige has bigger dreams than being a field producer on a home improvement show, but she's still paying some dues. Her biggest challenge? Gannon King, star of said show.

This book is classic Lucy Score! The entire book had the feel of the HGTV network, but a fun behind the scenes version of it. All of the characters were well drawn out, including the side characters, so you get this feeling of being fully immersed in this setting.

Paige and Gannon were everything in this. She was so strong while he was a perfect match to that, letting her be that person. This book is long, but it honestly didn't feel that way at all. I found myself not wanting it to end.

And yeah...classic Score spice.

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

I have loved other titles from Lucy Score, but I'm not connecting with the characters in this one. The flow also seems disjointed - it follows the reality TV homebuilding scheduling and jumps from week to week. I set it down at 30% and have not been interested in picking it back up.

Thank you to NetGalley & the publisher for providing an eARC for review.

No spoilers review: This book is amazing.. The characters are well thought out and the plot with spice.. Lucy Score is becoming one of my favorite authors and i love that she writes longer than average books!

I've only given this 2 stars instead of 1 because the writing and general plot are good. The problem is that these main characters are two of the most annoying insufferable characters I have had the displeasure of reading. I hate to say it but our female half of the main couple is just terrible. Nothing she does makes sense and not in the fun romance novel way where nothing really makes sense but it's fun. Paige isn't fun. She's hardheaded in the worst way, deliberately obtuse and this is one of the few instances where I was rooting for the male love interest to actually give up on his pursuit.

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

Great book! I loved Paige and Gannon; particularly his earnest efforts to win her over. She and Gannon's sister Cat are both strong female characters. The story is sweet, steamy, emotional at times and I loved reading about the families whose homes the show repaired. Can't wait to read Cat's story!

This book follows page as she navigates trying to have it all. Love, a successful career, and friendships.
I didn't not feel a huge attachment to Paige. I felt that she was petty and impulsive at times. She habitually jumped to conclusions over and over without letting people explain the situation. The MMC was honestly a much better character in the book.

I love me some Lucy Score but this one was just not that great for me

Sexy and sweet! Love reading this new book from this author and all feeling the heartbreak along with our main characters. Read this for a wild ride!

Another cute, easy read from Lucy Score. Enjoyed the characters and look forward to hearing more in the next book featuring Cat.

I think I definitely would’ve given this book more stars if it had been about 100 pages long. Because that’s when the book could’ve ended. But Lucy Score kept adding more and more into the book and it lost my interest. It was upsetting because I did like it until after that point. I felt that way about a previous book of hers that I had read but I felt like it was nice cause it tied up a lot of loose ends. But this one just kept creating loose ends that weren’t there before just so the book could continue. I gave up on reading it after a while.

Like I said, it’s not a bad book. I did like the characters and the plot idea of the book. But once I realized that Lucy Score was just writing stuff just to write stuff, I couldn’t do it anymore.

Cute romace with an HGTV twist. I enjot pretty much everything Lucy Score writes and this was no exception. This was quick read and I enjoyed the dual point of view of the main characters. I would recommmend this one for sure and look forward to reading the follow up. I want to thank NetGalley and SOURCEBOOKS Bloom Books for the arc in exchange for an honest review.

Paige and Gannon had intense, immediate chemistry from the beginning. At first, Gannon was a bit of an alpha and a bit overly aggressive but he demonstrated character development as the book progressed which I appreciated!

Absolutely loved Gannon and Paige. Gannon went above and beyond to show Paige how much he loved her even before he knew it, and even tho, she continued to push him away. That shower scene is my absolute favorite. As always Lucy Score does amazing.

This one redeemed my faith in Lucy Score. I tried one of her other series and couldn’t get into it but this one drew me in immediately. I loved the misjudgments and the forgiveness and the eventual understanding between these characters.

✨NETGALLEY REVIEW✨

Mr. Fixer Upper - Lucy Score

✨BLURB:

“It’s a constant battle on set between sexy home renovation reality star grumpy Gannon and his no-nonsense field producer. Paige has zero time for temperamental talent, especially one who acts like being in front of the camera is the last thing he wants.

Mr. Sex in a Toolbelt has made it his mission in life to get a rise out of her, but Paige is a master at locking down her temper. They’re on the road together working long hours fixing houses and changing lives. When cracks in her legendary coolness start to show and sparks fly, Gannon is infatuated and the cameras are there to capture it.

But he’s fallen for pretty packages before and Paige won’t be taken seriously if she’s caught sleeping with the star of her show. She also can’t seem to resist those big, rough hands. Those smoldery hazel eyes. The dimples. The toolbelt. That fiercely protective vibe.

Too bad it’s all about to fall apart.
She never should have trusted him.
He never should have let her go.”

✨THOUGHTS

Dude. I loved this so much. I don’t know why I’m surprised, because I always love everything Lucy Score puts out, but this was so fun! I loved the concept of what the characters do for a living. I LOVED Gannon! He was so flirty and funny. I enjoyed their banter.

I had one itsy bitsy issue, and I’ll be happy to talk to anyone about that privately!

Overall, I’m super excited that this book got a facelift and jumped in my @netgalley shelf. I was able to find more of the author’s backlog and add yet another reason to love her!

Thank you NetGalley, @scorelucy and @read_bloom for allowing me to read this ebook.

This book is everything I needed and more! I’m in my romance era and I ain’t stopping any time soon. Lucy is a queen in this genre and I will continue to pick up anything she writes. This story is an enemies to lovers chefs kiss! Not a ton of angst and all the characters including side ones were just so likable. Can’t wait to read the next one.

This was such a fun read! I enjoyed watching Paige and Gannon's relationship change and grow. Gannon starts out as a bit of a grump that is determined to make things difficult for Paige but as the book progresses he begins to realize that he has it all wrong. As the 2 become more friendly, they soon find that the attraction between them is undeniable. However, Paige isn't sure she is willing to put her reputation in her career field on the line and when Gannon's fake girlfriend shows up on set things completely fall apart. Paige is adamant that whatever was going on between them is over but Gannon is determined to keep Paige by his side.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

Paige is a reality tv producer for an HGTV style show and Gannon is the star! Gannon thinks Paige is uptight and controlling. Paige thinks Gannon is a temperamental, over hyped ladies man. The two of them butt heads, but soon find out that have completely wrong assumptions about each other. Paige is smart and firstly and works hard in a man’s world. Gannon may be cocky, but he is also sweet and caring! Being on the road and working long hours, they soon form a friendship, trust, and then deeper feelings for each other.

The banter and chemistry between these two is AMAZING! The slow burn and build up make it worth it! 🔥🔥🔥

Lucy Score is such an amazing writer. She makes her characters down to earth, unique, and the story just feels so real. This book is about trust and second chances. It’s heartwarming and really funny! A sweet and spicy must read! I haven’t read a book of hers that I haven’t absolutely loved!!! I know you will love this book too!

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

It did take me till about 30% to become interested in the plot- but I’m glad I held out. Paige is trying to pave her way into producing/ directing. Currently she is working in production for a reality remold show with two twins as the faces of the show. Gannon the contractor is rude and arrogant, but has eyes for Paige, throw in a “girl friend”, drama from higher ups, and an accident that draws them together- loved this enemies to lovers.

I love the HGtv style building show setting starring Gannon King and his twin sister Cat. Gannon seems like the grumpy standoffish type and the production assistant Paige sees him as self-centered and cocky. She has several misconceptions of him from the start and this, along with her controlled ice queen attitude has her pushing him away at every turn. I love all the little ways he tries to get under her skin.
Hilarious! About two thirds of the way when she again tries to friend zone him, there's some major apology groveling from him. And as I've come to expect from Lucy Score, there's some really good live scenes without being overdone. I'm looking forward to the Christmas book featuring Cat's story next!

I really enjoyed this book! It was so cute and the dynamic between Paige and Gannon. I also really liked the reality TV aspect of the book, and it was cool to read about the times that they were filming the show. I think the drama was good and not over the top, and I felt so many feelings during the whole thing. I kind of wish there was a bit more about Paige and Gannon's families, but I also understand why the book didn't focus on that. All in all, I couldn't put the book down. Thank you to NetGalley and Bloom Books for this ARC!
