The Big Fix

De: Holly James

Narrado por: Lila Winters

Katherine Center’s The Bodyguard meets The Fall Guy starring Ryan Gosling in a modern blend of screwball action and romantic attraction when a case of mistaken identity lands a college professor on the run with a mysterious—and dangerously hot—fixer…

When bookish Penny Collins reluctantly lets her sister drag her to an estate sale at a neighbor’s house, she’s hoping for a little diversion rummaging through dusty antiques. Instead, she ends up in a public squabble over candlesticks with the deceased owner’s nephew, Anthony—right before a dead body tumbles out of a closet.

Penny’s plan for the summer involved finalizing tenure at the university where she’s a computer sciences professor. Instead, she’s suddenly on the run with a man she barely knows, scaling walls, evading bullets, and accidentally stabbing henchmen. It seems the wrong people have got it in their heads that she’s Anthony’s girlfriend and, by association, in possession of something they desperately need—and will do anything to get.

As for Anthony, he has a top-secret occupation as a fixer, but a recent fix went dangerously awry, and now he and Penny are dodging both a ruthless billionaire and the FBI. And it’ll take all of Penny’s plentiful savvy and common sense, in addition to Anthony’s particular set of skills, to survive long enough for her to see the next semester…

This was so much fun

Okay, I was thinking more romcom with a side of “let’s solve this.” But this was more on the “action packed, things just got real” side of things, and that was awesome!

These two had me at first candelabra and I guess she had him too. Banter is always the way to my heart and I will never change. And I hope these two never do either. Well, I did hope they would change from fake girlfriend to real one but that’s more of an upgrade than a real change, am I right?

All in all, this was such a fun listen. So happy I gave it a try!
