Mr Fixer Upper had everything I love about Lucy Score’s books — growly men who fall first and plenty of steam. Like most of her books, this one was a bit on the long side and could have been trimmed down a bit, but it was an overall ver enjoyable and quick read. I loved Gannon King and how he’d over heels he was for Paige. At times Paige annoyed me with how quick she was to jump to the worst possible conclusions about a situation. The grand gesture was seriously top notch.

I voluntarily read a gifted copy of this book. All opinions are my own.

This was an ok romcom from Lucy Scores backlist. I liked the first 50% but after that it just became a mess of miscommunication, the MMC manhandling the FMC and the FMC became so annoying. 2.5 stars

Mr. Fixer Upper by Lucy Score is the First book in the Fixer: King Siblings Series. This is the story of Paige and Gannon. I really enjoyed this book. Ms. Score knows how to write for sure. Loved it!

In Lucy Score's enchanting romance Mr. Fixer Upper, the author transcends typical tropes, delivering a story that combines depth, humor, and unexpected warmth. The narrative follows Paige St James, a no-nonsense field producer on a reality home renovation show, as she contends with the grumpy yet irresistible star,

Gannon King. The enemies-to-lovers dynamic defies conventional arcs, allowing for a refreshing and unpredictable storyline. Gannon, an alpha hero with a tool belt, steals the show with his loyalty, endearing nature, and genuine efforts at redemption. The contrast between Paige's strong, determined character and Gannon's fiery persona creates a compelling dynamic.

Lucy Score skillfully weaves workplace drama, gender inequality exploration, and a steamy romance against the backdrop of a reality TV show, resulting in a captivating and emotionally resonant read that showcases the author's prowess in crafting engaging narratives with multifaceted characters. Mr. Fixer Upper stands out as a delightful journey into love, personal growth, and the unforeseen joys that relationships can bring.

What a cute cover! I love it! I loved Gannon from the start. He was described as sex in a toolbelt. He fit that so well. Paige is the best! Their romance was so awesome and spicy! I could not put this book down. I read it as a buddy read with friends, but I couldn't keep to the schedule I made. I needed to know all the things. I cannot wait to read the next book in the series! Thank you to NetGalley and SOURCEBOOKS Bloom Books for the arc in exchange for my honest review.

Thanks to Netgalley and Bloom Books for giving me an e-arc of the rerelease.

I found the characters to be kind of annoying to start but once the story progressed more, the more I liked them. This book was a quick and simple read that was needed after reading some fantasy books.

Thank you to NetGalley, Bloom, and Lucy Score for giving me an eARC for Mr. Fixer Upper in exchange for my honest review.

There is something magical about Lucy Score's storytelling. No matter what book she writes, it is always a hit for me. From the moment I picked up this book I could not put it down. With Mr. Fixer Upper we follow Paige and Gannon. Paige is a field producer who has dreams beyond working on a reality show. Gannon is a construction worker who especially excels at building furniture. At the start of the book, the two of them hate each other. It takes a while for them to finally build up to an actual relationship, which I appreciated. Mr. Fixer Upper contains an element that is not often seen in books, which is the man falls first and it is the woman who is resisting the relationship. I appreciated watching Gannon try to crack Paige and his journey towards trying to fully understand what makes her tick. I highly recommend this book, especially to those who like a Romance book where the couple has to take their own journies to be together in the end.

Lucy Score is always great at giving the drama, easy to jump into stories that are fun to dive in and live in the drama and all the steamy scenes to follow. This did not disappoint! It may be my favorite LS book to date!

3 Stars It’s been fun getting to discover the backlog of some of my favorite authors as they’ve been picked up by new publishers and had their work republished with cute new covers! I’ve read other books by Lucy Score but hadn’t heard of this one before (thank you NetGalley!) and it was a fun HGTV-esque romance with an alpha male and lots of reality TV drama. A fun read!

I'm a huge fan of Lucy Score so I knew going into this book I was going to love it! This book has lovable characters, easy flow, strong heroine and good love scenes. If you love HGTV this book will be up your alley. I was drawn in from start to finish. I highly recommend this wonderful book!!

Thank you NetGalley and SOURCEBOOKS Bloom Books for allowing me to read this ARC for my honest opinion.

NetGalley Review — my rating ⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

Mr. Fixer Upper by Lucy Score is book 1 of the Fixer: King Siblings Series and follows field producer, Paige St. James as she works on the set of “Kings of Construction” with twins, Cat and Gannon King.

Paige comes across as conservative and quiet, just there to get the job done. But Gannon sees so much more & spends most of his time trying to get her to notice.

I wanted to like this one more than I did. It was average in the character development and storyline which had me grasping for some answers between all the timeline jumping. I liked Paige and Gannon but something about them didn’t seem genuine. Still giving it a 3 because the spice never disappoints!

This reprint is out now!

Big thanks to @read_bloom for this ARC! Off to read the second in the series!

I deeply love home renovation shows as well as romance novels, so I was thrilled to find these combined together. I believe this edition of this book is a rerelease but I had not picked it up in the past. I liked Paige and Gannon’s story a lot, even if at times it felt like Gannon was playing the role of.a little boy on the playground pulling the hair of the girl he supposedly likes. Paige was a strong character, but took a little too long to figure out that part of being strong and successful is making choices that are right for her regardless of how those choices might look to others. Good sexual tension, the typical inability of romance novel leads failing to communicate. A nice twist in which the female half of the couple is the one afraid of commitment.

3.5 stars rounded up to 4. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a complimentary ARC of this book. The opinions herein are my own.

In this enthralling romance, I immersed myself in the behind-the-scenes drama of a home renovation reality show. The dynamic between the spirited Gannon and the composed field producer, Paige, unfolds into a captivating love story. Despite Gannon's playful teasing, Paige remains focused on her job and resistant to the spotlight. Their contrasting personalities and undeniable chemistry add depth to the narrative. The book skillfully addresses issues of gender inequality in the industry, shedding light on Paige's struggle. The tension builds as Gannon seeks redemption, and the conclusion is heartfelt and satisfying. With well-developed characters, humor, and a touching ending, this novel left me thoroughly enchanted.

I usually love Lucy Score’s book but this one was a little detached for me.
I prefer when it’s narrated in the first person, so I didn’t felt connect with Paige or Gannon.
Also Gannon didn’t have interest in Paige before and suddenly his in love.
But I’m sure this book finds its publics :)

I received this ebook from Netgalley in exchange for my honest opinion and review.

I thought this book was so sweet. Paige and Gannon are both extremely hard workers and it only made sense that working together would be good for them. I loved watching their budding romance that turned into way more.

I have read this book before but I love the new cover! Paige and Gannon are couple goals. I love them together and I loved reading their love story!

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for allowing me to read this arc in exchange for an honest review!

Lucy Score has long since been one of my favorite go to authors when I need a good romance. Her writing style is so thorough but quick paste that she fits so much story into her novels, yet it doesn't feel like work to read it.

Gannon and Paige butt heads constantly. As the star of the home improvement show they are filming, it's Paige's job to keep him on task and moving along. Gannon's job is to get under her skin. Sparks FLY in this book. The pining creates such amazing tension and the spicy scenes are well done as well. Not too graphic but also not too tame. Lucy nails it on the head every time. No pun intended.

I have so much hate for this book, which is in fact shocking. I'm only going to talk about three things that I did not like at all about this book.

one. Paige thinks that Gannon used her and is cheating on his girlfriend with her, so she goes to drink at a bar. Bartender says "Penis?" asking if she's having relationship issues. That part did bother me but what bothered me more was when bartender said "Love ‘em anyway or switch teams". Babes, what? It's like love men for their shitty behaviors or become a lesbian? WTF, it's such a bad joke.

two. Paige doesn't want to renew her contract with the show because they used her for a love triangle. So she's like looking jobs and I quote "evident to Paige that job pickings were not merely slim but anorexic". You know a book is bad when they make a ED joke. Cheers.

three. How about when Gannon mansplains to Paige about women struggling to get respect in a work place. "I get what you’re saying, but isn’t there another layer in play here? What about your responsibility for your reaction? If you smile when someone tells you to smile or you back out of a relationship that you want to be in because of the public opinion, isn’t that on you?” SHE HAS HER REASONS WHY SHE DOESN'T WANT TO BE WITH YOU. STFU.

Thank you NetGalley for the e-arc version of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

MR FIXER UPPER by Lucy Score
What another fun entertaining read by Lucy Score! This is a home renovation reality show featuring Gannon and his sister, and the show's field producer, Paige. There is the usual witty banter that we have come to expect from Lucy, as well as a great cast of characters. I couldn't stop once I started this story! It is 5 stars.

I'm a Lucy Score fan so I was super excited to grab this ARC as well as the next one in this series!

Paige St. James is a field producer who is focused on her career and nothing else, including men. She has a smart mouth, decided to not follow in her mother’s footsteps, and is determined to make a difference in the industry.

Then we have Gannon King, who is almost every woman’s kryptonite except for Paige. She can’t stand the man. These two are always butting heads and he loves to call her “princess” to push her buttons.

“I can play nice, princess.”

It all started with her falling asleep on his shoulder. We follow them working together and once sparks are caught on camera. Everything changes when Paige has to wear a microphone.

“The question is, are you ready? This is your baby.”

With the higher-ups having a play with creating their own story. Paige is put in a position to let go of her feelings for Gannon to protect her reputation and her plans.

Can these two work together and have a relationship? Will Paige let go of her insecurities to allow love in her life? Will Gannon keep working to get Paige back or will he give up?

Find out in Mr. Fixer Upper! Then grab the second book to read his sister’s story.

Thank you, Lucy Score, Sourcebooks Bloom Books, and Netgalley for this EARC! As always, my review is my opinion and thoughts. This review will be shared on my Instagram @Alexandriavwilliams_ shortly.
