Fixer Upper

Publisher's Summary

Some things can be fixed with a little duct tape...but a broken heart ain't one of 'em.  

Avery Blake has spent years getting by all on her own in a big house on the countryside. As a contractor, there's not much room for emotion in her male-dominated profession, and she's perfectly content to keep people out of her private life, too.   

After watching her elderly neighbor, Nora, be torn away from her longtime lover by heartless relatives, Avery has seen what it's like to love and to lose, and she'd rather skip the whole thing and focus on work (and the occasional meaningless fling) instead.  

Some relationships can be fixed with a little breathing room...and some are too far gone.  

Hannah Grayson has nothing but room to breathe when she finds out her great-aunt Nora has passed and left her a house in rural Indiana. Fleeing a dysfunctional and controlling relationship in New York, she moves into the house because she's got nowhere else to go.  

Disasters start piling up almost as soon as the plane touches down - the house is in disrepair, Nora's grandchildren are trying to evict her, and the gorgeous but chilly woman across the street seems to have a problem with Hannah's presence.  

When a pipe bursts on her first night in the house, Hannah has no choice but to run across the street and beg for help from Avery. The rest, as they say, is history....

Contains mature themes.

just ok

I liked the idea that the lady who inherits the old house just happens to have a lesbian contractor as her only neighbor in a small town. In my head, there was potential. Somehow the story, the dialogue, and the narration didnt do much for me though. I never cared for any of the characters. Infact, there were times I didnt care if they got together because the contractor was quick tempered like a child and the lady who inherited the house left a verbally abusive relationship to have the new lady/contractor/new sex buddy belittle her by calling her Buttercup when she didn't want to touch the toilet when they made repairs together... the contractor was always a bit harsh for me and the other lady was slowly trying to grow a backbone with pushy relatives and ex but she spent most of the book. Wanted more from the book.

loved it!

the narrorater was great. I loved the story line as well! I recommend this book!!

hot and sweet and frustrating at times lol. the narrator did a great job with the voices and the sex scenes.
