Lucy score and small towns is a combination I’ll never get tired of. Add in Christmas… I’m obsessed. PLUS enemies to lovers?! I’m a frickin goner.

The Christmas Fix was the perfect holiday read. It literally had every single one of my favorite tropes. Oh, did I mention single dad?! Gahhh Lucy! What are you doing to us?!

As always, the added spice was much appreciated and didn’t disappoint.

This is the perfect holiday read if you love:
Small towns
Enemies to lovers
Single dad
Some spice

My first by this author and she definitely can write romance!! Has plenty spicey too, a bit much for me there but I loved the story of a town called Merry and the TV star Catalina Kind determined to save the Christmas festival after the river flood. She legit cared about the town, the people, the festival after doing a restoration for a local family there. Noah the town manager is the only thing standing in her way and she won’t let him stop her, there bickering scenes were a bit over the top also. Excellent romance for Christmas with plenty of spice.

Thanks to Netgalley and Sourcebooks/ Bloom books for my electronic reader copy in exchange for my honest review!! All opinions are my own.

Cat and Noah do not like each other. Like at all. Cat is a reality star that wants to come in and shoot a Christmas special in Noah’s town after it is hit hard by a flood. Noah wants no part of it even though Cat tried to tell him she can make the Christmas festival in Merry better than ever before. They end up finding out that maybe they don’t hate one another so much after all….

Lucy Score can write a romance…and she can certainly add the spice! This one is no exception and a great little holiday read!

The Christmas Fix is my first ever Lucy Score book.

Now that you’ve gotten over the shock of that statement, Th Christmas Fix was like reading a Hallmark Christmas movie. This was adorable and got me in the holiday spirit!

I saw myself in both Cat and Noah - I can absolutely be Mr(s). No sometimes, while also being fiercely independent. The banter between these two had me laughing out loud - I absolutely loved them.

I did not realize this was book two in a series, and I was absolutely fine reading this without having rear Mr. Fixer Upper first (although I am definitely going back to read that one now!).

Thank you to Bloom Books for the review copy!

If there is one thing Lucy Score can do, it is deliver an HGTV style romcom that has me laughing and swooning. I adored Maggie Moves On, so I’m basically always going to count on any fixer upper story from Lucy. Add holiday spirit in the mix, and I’m thrilled! ⁣

I adored Cat and Noah. They were rational enemies to lovers, and their story was fun. I think a lot of it was just a bad first impression, and they got to slowly pulled the layers back. This is an open, steamy read, so just heads up! Sara, Noah’s daughter really stole the show. I adored her character and loved their dynamic. ⁣
⁣
I honestly am not a big fan of the single parent trope, but this was so good. Melody, the ex, was there and they co-parented so well. Thank you Lucy Score, for not making this a cringe relationship, but a very healthy divorce co-parenting family. (Melody was even out there hoping Cat was the reason Noah had a smile on his face, you go girl) ⁣

I loved this book!! 😍🎄🌶️ thanks so much to @read_bloom @netgalley for the advanced copy of this one! It was truly the perfect read for December!

👍🏼: This holiday enemies-to-lovers romance focuses on Cat King, who is a reality TV star doing home renovations & the town manager, Noah, who doesn’t want the TV networks help after a flood devastated their town and their plans for their traditional Christmas festival. I loved the banter between these two, their motivation to help this small town & of course, the spice in a @scorelucy is always great😂 I’ve read a lot of small-town romances, but this one stood out to me! All of the characters in this town were so lovable, funny, & memorable ❤️ I also super enjoyed the HGTV vibes - it definitely made this book stand out amongst all the other holiday reads!

👎🏼: The story was definitely predictable from about halfway through until the end, but isn’t that the fun in holiday romances? 🤷🏼‍♀️ I also would’ve liked a little more depth between Cat & Noah, as it was very spice forward 😂

Overall, such a fun read for this month & I definitely recommend making time for this one if it’s on your TBR! ❤️👏🏼🎅🏼📚

This book was such a great way to start up my holiday reading. 🎄Think Hallmark meets HGTV in the best possible way. This book was funny but also gave me all the warm and fuzzies like every good Christmas book should. The small town Merry, came together and really delivered with all the Christmas and family small town vibes - it literally made me want to travel and find this nonexistent town. I fell in love with both of the main characters Cat and Noah. Their chemistry, passion, banter and zingers were all off the charts - SO stinking good. ❤️ I loved that they both judged the other incorrectly and proved that old saying true “you can’t judge a book by its cover” and grew together. Lucy Score is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors, her books always have such good stories that make you laugh and melt into a puddle at the same time.

“You’re the color in a gray day.”


Thank you so much @NetGalley and @Read_Bloom for giving me my copy! ❤️

Lucy Score's The Christmas Fix—the second in the Fixer series—is all about the town of Merry, Connecticut, which has been devastated by a hurricane right before Christmas, their busiest season, the one that keeps the town running economically for the rest of the year. Mayor Noah Yates is completely overwhelmed, but he's determined to get the town back on its feet and ready for the holidays . . . his way.

Reality TV host Catalina King has other ideas. She wants to bring her renovation show to town to use the network's funds to help rebuild. Noah, however, doesn't trust her motives and accuses her of using their tragedy as fuel for a manipulative reality melodrama.

Cat, of course, gets her way, and the reality circus comes to town.

There's plenty of enemies-to-lovers energy fueling this romance, as well as quirky small town vibes as a fun backdrop. Watching Cat prove herself as a serious producer and contractor is incredibly satisfying, and as she wins over Noah and his sweet daughter, the holiday season builds.

I hadn't read book one (Mr. Fixer Upper) before picking up this one, which was fine, but I liked it enough that I'm going back anyway!

Lucy Score is your gal if you need a quick read. A great pick me up, a giggle, a cry she has it all.
I love a great Christmas story. This author has nailed it.

Thank you Net Galley, the publisher and Lucy Score for the copy of this publication. I was gifted this book for my unbiased review.

It’s difficult for me to rate this book. On the one hand, I did like the fierce, unstoppable FMC, but on the other hand, the MMC was insufferable. I hate me a man who’s mysoginistic until the FMC proves to him that girls can be “different” and not shallow. You shouldn’t need someone to prove that to you at 35🙄 I think maybe this author’s books just aren’t for me.

There is so much about The Christmas Fix that I loved. The novel combined two of my favorite things, Christmas and reality fixer upper shows! The characters were fun and believable and the authors clever way of making the main characters have a pre-meeting was clever. The development of the plot was quick enough to hold your interest with enough detail to make the novel feel complete. The only issue I had was the X rated descriptions of sex. I prefer, pg-13 or mild R rated descriptions. It did make me wonder where this mild mannered divorced city planner would develop such formidable skills.
Because of the graphic sex scenes, which did not add anything to the novel, there are not many people I could recommend this book to, which is a shame because I loved the story. This is the first novel I read from this author, so maybe it is my fault and this is just their style.

The Christmas Fix is the second book in the Fixer series. I did not enjoy this book as much as I enjoyed the first book. I went into this book in hopes of finding a perfect Christmas Hallmark feel story, but I ended up being slightly disappointed. It took way too long to root for Noah and Cat. Noah seemed too grumpy and judgmental at first, and they went from hating to kissing each other in a blink of an eye. Noah’s daughter added some fun to the story, and I loved seeing glimpses of Gannon, Paige, and their new baby! I adored the ending and how the community united after a tragedy and tried to spread the Christmas spirit again.


Thank you to NetGallery and to SourceBooks for giving me a copy of this book.

We stand for a cute Christmas romance especially when it mixes HGTV with spice. I ate this book up. This was the perfect read to get into the Christmas spirit. Small town grump meets dazzling badass renovation TV star. We love to see it. I can't explain how good this book was, so I guess you'll have to read it for yourself ;)

The Christmas Fix
Cue the waterworks. Oh my goodness, this one was just the perfect dose of Christmas magic. ✨

The Gist:
The Christmas Fix is book 2 in the Fixer Upper duo. It’s listed as a stand alone also, which would probably be fine, but I def advise reading Paige & Gannon’s story first!

Cat returns to the town of Merry to clean up after a hurricane wrecks the town. The grumpy city manager loathes Cat, her fixer upper show, and doesn’t want her to help clean up.


Things I loved:
-Single Dad Trope
-Paige & Gannon snippets
- Cat’s heart for helping
-🎄 Christmas theme!


My Reflection:
I absolutely love Lucy’s book, but this one was so heartfelt! I was crying over Merry in the first like 10%. 🫣😂

The Christmas Fix by Lucy Score is the perfect Hallmark style romance book, with a little more spice. When Cat comes into the small town of Merry to do a Christmas TV special after a devastating flood, Noah the town manager is less than thrilled. He believes Cat is a stuck up celebrity, and well she thinks he's a down right ass. This sets off into a very comical enemies to lovers story that I enjoyed quite a lot (despite not usually loving Enemy to Lover story lines). The whole story is charming, and leaves you rooting for Cat, Noah, and honestly every single character in this book. It's a super quick read, making it a great book to curl up by the fireplace with and drink some cocoa this holiday season. It definitely gets spicy in parts, so if you are more of a closed door romance reader, be aware of that. As my first Lucy Score book, it was fantastic and I'll be checking out more very soon.
