Romances are a lot of fun, when the couple has known each other forever, but never noticed the other. Or maybe they did, but never acted on it! Fixing Her is that kind of romance, so I was excited when I got the chance to read and review. Today you can read about the book (and an excerpt) and my thoughts.

 

Fixing Her, an all-new friends to lovers romance from debut author Miranda Elaine is available NOW!

When we were younger, Temperance Price was the quiet girl with dreamy eyes who hung on my every word. She was always beautiful, but I had plans to get out of Red Oak and make a life of my own.

Ten years later, a crushing tragedy has brought me home again—right back to her.

The innocent girl I left is gone, and in her place is a sassy single mom I can’t get out of my head. She’s hired me to fix her house, but I have other things in mind.

She thinks I’m just a handyman.

She thinks we’re only friends.

She thinks I’ve never noticed her.

I think what really needs to be fixed is her whole perspective.

Excerpt:

I’m nervous but excited. My gut says to run away, but the glass of wine I just finished off is telling me this is an excellent idea. Feeling brave, I hold the phone out at arm’s reach and take a selfie of me sitting on top of my unmade bed.

Times like these make me glad I’m not great about washing the small amount of makeup I wear off before bed. Typically, I just use a baby wipe right before I fall asleep to wipe off whatever bit of mascara survived the day.

Today’s makeup, though light, is still present. I’m spread across the bed in my tiny black shorts and my favorite red tank top with a shelf bra built in. Before logic can make its way into my brain I hit send.

I review the picture and instantly regret fills my stomach. I felt so brave thirty seconds ago. But staring at it now, I see the small rolls of my stomach, and my chest needs more support than the tank itself can provide. Those are not perky twenty-year-old breasts. Those are the breasts of a woman who’s edging toward thirty and has had a baby. I’m ashamed of the dark circles under my eyes.

Why did I send that pic?

Asher: Fuck

My heart sinks. He probably sees all my flaws, too. In a dimly lit house they might not have been noticeable in passing. But on a phone screen, where you can zoom in they’re just there for the seeing.

Asher: Wow. That’s an incredible sight.

I’m unable to conjure a complete thought, nothing sexy, witty, or interesting. I’m frozen, knowing he’s staring at a photo of me, in awe.

Asher: Ok, my turn.

I’m not in any way prepared for what he sends. I’ve seen him shirtless. Hell, I can’t believe I’ve seen him nearly naked in person, felt him in the palm of my hand. And still, I’m in shock at the sight of him stretched out on his bed in just a pair of thin gray sweats, his hand on top wrapped around the outline of his long, thick cock.

I stare for too long at that hand holding that cock firmly. I almost don’t even notice the smirk on his face. He knows how attracted I am to him. Just being around him makes me weak, and by the look on his face I’m guessing he knows how turned on this sight is making me.

My resolve weakens. It’s not even just his hard body or amazing face. It’s the patience he’s shown my daughter. It’s his willingness to spend his time and skills to help me. It’s how he came home to relieve his parents of the stress and pressure of losing a son and attempting to run a business. It’s everything I don’t deserve to hold so close to my heart.

He’s a remarkable man. A man that in a different life, at a different time, I would fight tooth and nail to make mine.

Asher: You still there? You’re starting to hurt my ego.

Me: Yeah. 🙂 Just setting your profile pic on my phone.

Asher: Better make sure it stays locked then.

Me: No worries. I cropped it a tad.

Asher: Just a tad?

I giggle. There ain’t nothing tad-like about that cock.

Me: Well . . . maybe more than a tad. 😉

Review:

Cover I am really a broken record, but I don’t care for this cover. I’m still not a fan of people on covers. This is one of the betters one though! And stuff like this definitely doesn’t stop me from reading or enjoying a book.

Plot Fixing Her is Miranda Elanine’s debut book and I would not have known that after reading her book. As a big fan of friends to lovers romances, I knew I needed to pick up this book and I’m so glad I did. Temerpance noticed Asher in high school, but never realized her noticed her back. Ten years have passed and life hasn’t gone as planned for Temperance or Asher. Temperance is now a single mother and a family tragedy brought Asher home and working for his father’s company. Something he never saw himself doing. Both of them are adjusting to a life they didn’t plan and can’t ignore the attraction that is there between them. I have read romances with single fathers, but not many about single mothers, so this was an interesting take. I love how honest this author made Temperance seem. A woman and mother figuring things out. Which means not always being on time or even having energy to take her makeup off before bed. Asher had everything set, his brother would take over his father’s company and he was going to get out of town and do his own thing. One night changed all of that and he’s still coming to terms with what this means for him and his career. Running into Temperance definitely made him think. It’s clear there is an attraction from the start and it’s so fun watching it grow. This is definitely a slow burn romance and I loved every minute of it. Temperance wasn’t going to make it easy for Asher, but once he won’t let her go that easily. I loved how in touch Asher was to how he was feeling and really fought for them. This is an emotional book, but  such a good one to read. Add a crazy best friend who loves Temerpance and the little one and it makes everything complete, haha. Miranda Elaine is definitely an author to keep an eye on!
