About this deal
I would have loved for there to have been more time spent redeeming Travis especially after the awful fight and make up scene, there was a lot of potential that wasn’t reached. I kept telling myself that if I just pushed through a little further, at some point the story would really grab me. That was so incredibly satisfying, and I'm thrilled to see that a sequel featuring Rosie and Dominic is in the works!
If you’re a fan of brother’s best friend books, the fake dating troupe, or your just looking for a hella hot and feel good romance, pick up Fix Her Up. The best thing about this book is my reading of it got multiple people to remove it from their TBR's and lower their ratings. of course, none of these are reason why she couldn't be a virgin, i just find it a bit unrealistic and it only seems to be an added feature to make her that "wholesome woman" travis can "deflower".For me to have enjoyed this, I think it would need a huge facelift in how the love interest treats the main character, the descriptions were written, and how childish the characters came off. stephen also almost punches travis because of his relationship with georgie (at this point, they are still only fake-dating, but obviously, stephen doesn't know that) and says stupid shit like "i think you know i have to", like no, you literally don't?
When they both realise they have questionable reputations, they decide to enter a fake relationship to achieve their lifetime goals. In the first, Macy Sorensen meets and falls in love with the boy next door, Elliot Petropoulos, in the closet of her dad’s vacation home, where they hide out to discuss their favorite books. How was I supposed to take the girl seriously when (1) she’s a clown ( are there even any children on planet Earth that like clowns anymore?Original read 6/13/19: Do not let this adorably unassuming cover fool you: this book was NAUGHTY AS HELL and I loved it SO MUCH.
I might give the next one a go and if the writing style works better than the series may become a favourite. transformation to literally being considered a child by everyone around her, it was just unbearable. I honestly think if the author embraced that a bit more and made it more explicitly kinky, people might have had less issues. It felt like a first draft, where you just get it out and then adjust as you go along, moving around scenes to make the story flow.
I despise the notion that all women in romance books have to be virgins and only have sex with one man in their lives, while their male counterparts have slept with the entire population of a small country. in this case georgie either belongs to stephen, georgie's brother (who can honestly CHOKE) or travis himself. It was so messy and the author would throw in random scenes with random side characters to make it look like the book wasn’t just focusing on the two main characters, but those scenes were so dry and pointless and you could tell they were included just so a token POC could have some time on the page.
i wouldn't reread this book because honestly, i couldn't take another 400 pages of travis and stephen. travis thinks a lot abut her being a virgin and it's a motivation but also a reason for him to back away, i really don't get him.

I love that Tessa has created a female role in which she enjoys the perspective of entertainment for kids. I thought I was jumping into an uber cute rom-com, and though this did have some cute and fun moments, it was a bit emotional and a crazy hot brothers best friend story.
