Title: Fix Me Not
Series: The Fix Series Book 2
Author: Carey Heywood
Genre: Romantic Comedy
Paige Sullivan's life is a train wreck. In a matter of months she lost her business, her swanky apartment, and her big city life. Now she's stuck in Nowhere, New Hampshire, sleeping on her mom's couch. If that wasn't bad enough, she's forced to do odd jobs for money. She has a plan though, and once she's saved enough, she's out of there. That is, as long as she doesn't murder her sexy new employer first.
Asher Thompson is the ruggedly handsome hermit of the Thompson clan. Tall, ridiculously sexy despite his beard, and annoyingly aloof, his main concern is his privacy. He fills his days with his work as a carpenter and the peaceful solitude of his lake house. A peaceful solitude that vanished the moment Paige Sullivan stormed into his life, hell-bent on driving him crazy.
“Here,” Paige says, passing me a water and a plate of fries through my window. I’m back in the parking lot of the Moose tonight, parked right next to Millie’s Explorer. “Are you trying to drug me?” I had asked. She shrugs her slender shoulders. “Consider it a truce.” I’ve finished all of the fries and am still working on my drink when she returns an hour or so later. “Shouldn't you be playing with your wood?” I choke on my water. “This your idea of a truce?” I ask, once I’m done coughing. “Humor me,” she says, leaning against my door. “You hired my mom so you wouldn't have to leave your land. Now you're leaving it every day to stalk me. What gives?” My head jerks back. “I am not stalking you.” She presses her lips together before a bubble of laughter escapes. “What would you call it?” I frown partly at her question and more so at the way she's acting. “Why are you being nice to me?”

*********MY REVIEW*****
'Fix Me Not' by Carey Heywood
is the 2nd book in "The Fix up series. The main characters in this book are Paige
Sullivan and Asher Thompson. This is more of a standalone book in the
series. Asher is considered a recluse for no other reason that he likes to be alone
and work on his carpenter work to the point that he forgets pretty
much anything else. Asher lives a little far from town so he can do
his own thing without being bothered and he has housekeeper named Millie that
sees to his grocery shopping and cleaning of his house so he doesn’t
have to leave and he can continue doing what he loves. Things are going great
until Millie is hurt cleaning for him and he has to leave his home to go with
her to the hospital where he meets Millie’s daughter Paige . Asher has kind of
a bad opinion of Paige which is kind of wrong. Paige thinks Asher is rude
so they have a rough first start and their first couple meets are not the
greatest but they get past that and that is when the magic starts to happen.
Paige goes to fill in for her
mom while she is out with her injuries
See Paige is down on her luck and has been crashing on her mom’s sofa.
She used to be this bigwig in NYC but
she lost her business, is broke and her ex friend took her boyfriend.
With her mom injured and unable to work for Asher, she is forced to take that
job to help her mom out which upsets her because it seems her mom likes him
more than her.
At first Asher doesn’t want
her there- he tells her to get out, leave
but she refuses . She shows him that she isn’t going to go away and she
is a fighter. Will Asher be able to see
the real Paige or will he let his dislike rule his heart? Asher is complex and
there is more to him which Paige sees and slowly works with. I loved how the
magic is strong with this couple. I loved the ending and the opening for the
next couple.
My Rating: 4.6 stars *****
