The Fix Up

Kendall Ryan — 2016

From New York Times bestseller, Kendall Ryan, comes a sexy new standalone novel.My tempting and very alpha friend Sterling Quinn is someone I consider off-limits.It's not just that we're friends, he's also cocky, confident, and British, which means he's a walking aphrodisiac.But lately he's been giving me the look. You know the one. When he thinks I'm not paying attention, and his gaze lingers for too long.When we start working together, that's when the sexual tension between us gets so thick, I want to hack through it with a machete. I want to make all these deep feelings I've harbored for him disappear, because there's no way this can end well.The lines between business and pleasure become irrevocably blurred, and I'm stuck between a rock and Sterling's very, very hard place.Rather than keep a level head about our growing attraction, Sterling wants to go all in, showing me just how explosive we can be together.But I've been around long enough to know that this British bad boy is more than my heart can handle. I'm not about to be cast aside like yesterday's underwear when he's done having fun.Sterling’s never been told no, and he's not about to put his ego aside and play by my rules. But I never thought he'd fight so dirty.

Read this in like two hours, it was very fast paced and that kinda made me not feel the attraction of the characters. But like i said it was a short book, so atleast I was doen quick

So I definitely didn't know what to expect going into this book because of the blurb and my own preconceived notions because of the blurb. But basically I thought this book was going to be completely different than it was and I'm glad this book decided to be unusual and blow my expectations out of the water. The Fix Up is basically about this British guy (and obviously the fact that he's British is really central to the novel because it makes him like 10x hotter) who finds out he's got an inheritance, but only if he's married within 6 months. And this guy is going from no relationship ties to marriage, so understandably he's a little freaked out and doesn't know where to start. So he calls in an expert (aka Camryn) to help him find a wife in six months. That's the basis of the story broken down in really simple terms because a lot of things I definitely didn't expect went down in between all that fluff up above. A LOT! The thing I definitely liked about this book was the fact that the characters were friends before they got together, so there's this element of comfort and friendship that plays into their relationship and adds an extra sweetness to the usual romance stories we see today. Camryn was a character I really liked because she was determined to do things her own way and didn't get caught up in the hype around Sterling through out this experience. There was a little of a forbidden romance because of Sterling's situation of having to find a wife and the fact Camryn is helping him find his bride to be. Scandalous! Overall this was a really fun read for me! I liked the characters and how their situations advanced the plot as they each tried to fit their own goals into this one job. Definitely a book worth checking out!
