This was probably my least favorite of Tessa Bailey's books. I liked the main character and her story, but not for a romance book. Yes, the brother's-best-friend trope is a popular one, but it doesn't quite sit right when the FMC is seen as childish. Plus, the MMC is just downright mean to her most of the time, even when he starts to fall for her. This was a tough one for me to get through and I lost interest several times, especially with the whiplash of them showing affection for each other, then being mean to each other, then giving each other heated looks. It was a bit much at times. I'm a Tessa Bailey fan, but this one just wasn't a hit for me...

This book makes me want to read anything that Tessa Bailey writes! I wasn't expecting it to be as steamy as it was, but I enjoyed it and couldn't put it down. Thank you, NetGalley, for the ARC!

I love romantic comedies, and Fix Her Up has just that and more.

Georgette’s life has not been easy and we’re about to find out how complicated it is.

It’s a great storyline.and quite enjoyable. Hope to read more by this author.

I just finished writing a review for a differen't romance where I said "hello to smart girl romance" and this came knocking and said "just kidding".

I really liked this! First book I've read by this author and I'm looking forward to more. There were some unrealistic and expected parts of the story, but overall I liked both characters and think Baily did a great job creating a fun, interesting town full of characters to read about.

Georgie wants to be taken seriously by her family as an independent business owner. Travis is an early retired MLB player who needs a wholesome image in order to start a new career. Can these childhood friends help each other, without actually falling for one another? This is a romantic comedy that will have you both laughing and swooning.

Not bad just not my thing i think! interested in what the author has to come!! The idea of the story is so interesting but something did click with me. Next Tessa Bailey book is going to be read by me for sure.

Very sweet, low stakes book that I enjoyed reading. Will definitely read more to come. Found the characters to be likable and enjoyed their journeys.

This book was so cute and steamy! It take place in my small hometown, which added another dimension for me, and I loved it!

I related so much to Georgie and her not-so-normal-sized legs with a crush on her brother’s friend — and I don’t even like clowns. I thought Travis’ character was a bit typical, though, which made his growth predictable. I don’t know why it took me forever to read this book (aside from grad school rad school). It’s really cute and hot and has exactly what to look for in a rom-com. Favorite Quote: “Maybe it was the way she only reached his shoulder that sent protectiveness surging up to his jugular, while somehow—at the very same time—he wanted to seek refuge in her (230).”

DNF
I tried to read this, but it did not hold my attention. I just don't think I'm in the right place for it right now, and I've heard mixed things about it. I ended up DNFing it, but do hope to one day finish it.

I love the romance trope of falling for your brother's best friend and felt this was extremely well done. The sex scenes had the perfect amount of steaminess and made it difficult to put down the book. Absolutely loved Bailey's writing throughout and look forward to the next book in the series. I will definitely be recommending this to my romance lovers.

This romance has a very cinematic feel and is the perfect start to this series. I found it funny, sexy, and charming and it very much interested me in reading the rest of the books in the series.

I have been wanting to read this book for a while. As far as romantic comedies go, this is typical with a heavy dose of explicit hotness. To be honest, the characters where well developed and relatable, but the sex scenes felt over the top. This may be my personal taste, but this book would be have the length if there was less description of “events” between the two main characters, Georgie and Travis. There are more stories to come in this series which I plan to try, but I must keep in mind, the intensity maybe the author’s intention.

Thank you Netgalley for this advance read.

I was in the mood for a fun, light romance when I picked up Fix Her Up. I really, really hated the male lead and found the romance between the two main leads to be lackluster.

A little more spicy than I'm comfortable recommending to my readers, but I really enjoyed it and would definitely read more of her books.

Great book. Liked the writing and the story line. I would definitely recommend to others and would read more from Thai author

I can’t believe it took me a year to pick this book up. I loved everything about this book, especially the characters. I can easily see these characters existing In real life. I can’t believe I read this whole book in a span of only 2-3 days! Definitely plan on picking up a physical copy to reread and I NEVER reread books!

Georgie Castle is the typical little sister. She runs a party planning business, and nobody takes her seriously. Travis Ford is the town star- an ex-major league baseball player, who needs a girlfriend to land a new job. He and Georgie make a deal to pretend to date so they’ll be taken more seriously, but things soon get a little more serious than faking.

The plot was fast-paced and very romantic. However, the characters are a little uni-dimensional and Georgie was not the empowered heroine I like to read about. Travis was not a very great guy, and he could sometimes be rude or downright disgusting. It was still a sweet and funny book at times, though.

It starts off slow and kind of dense, but once the action begins, it's hard to resist the story as it drives forward. It reads as a true epic, one that makes you feel the world really has been reshaped as you read it. Would recommend.
