The first in a spicy, hilarious HGTV-inspired romantic comedy trilogy from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of It Happened One Summer and Hook, Line, and Sinker!

Georgette Castle’s family runs the best home renovation business in town, but she picked balloons instead of blueprints and they haven’t taken her seriously since. Frankly, she’s over it. Georgie loves planning children’s birthday parties and making people laugh, just not at her own expense. She’s determined to fix herself up into a Woman of the World... whatever that means.

Phase one: new framework for her business (a website from this decade, perhaps?)

Phase two: a gut-reno on her wardrobe (fyi, leggings are pants.)

Phase three: updates to her exterior (do people still wax?)

Phase four: put herself on the market (and stop crushing on Travis Ford!)

Living her best life means facing the truth: Georgie hasn’t been on a date since, well, ever. Nobody’s asking the town clown out for a night of hot sex, that’s for sure. Maybe if people think she’s having a steamy love affair, they’ll acknowledge she’s not just the “little sister” who paints faces for a living. And who better to help demolish that image than the resident sports star and tabloid favorite?

Travis Ford was major league baseball’s hottest rookie when an injury ended his career. Now he’s flipping houses to keep busy and trying to forget his glory days. But he can’t even cross the street without someone recapping his greatest hits. Or making a joke about his… bat. And then there's Georgie, his best friend’s sister, who is not a kid anymore. When she proposes a wild scheme—that they pretend to date, to shock her family and help him land a new job—he agrees. What’s the harm? It’s not like it’s real. But the girl Travis used to tease is now a funny, full-of-life woman and there’s nothing fake about how much he wants her...

“Her voice feels as fresh and contemporary as a Netflix rom-com.” —Entertainment Weekly

“Fix Her Up ticks all my romance boxes. Not only is it hilarious, it’s sweet, endearing, heartwarming and downright sexy. It’s a recipe for the perfect love story.” – Helena Hunting, New York Times bestselling author of Meet Cute

Meh could’ve been a lot shorter. I found myself skimming over a lot of the story. Decent storyline but it was really dull for me.

Love!. Wish the ending was further extended upon. Feel like right after everything finally came together, the book was over. But good read and I recommend!

Would recommend. I really enjoyed this book! I read it in a day. But I gotta be honest the clown thing was hard to take seriously lol but at the end of the day it was good. I do wish the ending gave a little more though.

Yes Georgie!. I loved every single part of this book!! Couldn’t stop once I started! Did not see Travis proposing on screen and I loved it!! I wish I could erase it and reread it all over again!

What you want is no more or less important than what anyone else wants.. Such a great read! Travis is down on his luck after an injury. Add that to his man hooch reputation, and he’s practically shunned from the sport he considers his life, professional baseball. He’s grumpy. He’s depressed, and he’s pretty much a sloppy hermit. Georgie is just his best friends little sister, who has had a crush on Travis since she was a pre-teen. Travis has never taken her seriously though. I mean, she is a professional clown now, but that’s beside the point. Georgie is the one who kicks Travis into gear. She believes in him! Although reluctantly, under Georgie’s supportive attention, he blossoms like the prettiest flower. Add in; a fake relationship, unexpectedly real feelings, hot naughty bits, a fire place renovation, meddling side characters that you can’t help but love (Hi. I mean Bethany!), and you have Fix Her Up! It admittedly took me a few chapters to really get invested in Fix Her Up by Tessa Bailey, but once I did I was full on in love. This story is sweet, steamy, funny, and has a heartfelt message weaved into the rest.

Worth it. Ignore the cover and read it.

Home Run! (pun intended). How does Tessa Bailey write the funniest female characters who are so relatable and pair them with their perfect grumpy soulmate? I may never know, but I love every second of it! Georgie’s personality and wit leapt from the pages and contrasted perfectly with Travis’ prickly exterior. Fake relationship done so, so right. Chock full of family drama, amazing banter, and steamy scenes with some great dirty talk. A happily ever after ending that was so romantic, it left me smiling for days! This was a home run! (pun intended).

Loved this. Best book that I’ve read in awhile.

An amazing read!. He’s a grouch, for understandable reasons. She’s loved him for as long as she can remember. Add some top tier spice and you’ve got a lovely, funny, steamy love story. I love flawed characters that love each other for who they are. That try to make each other better. He’s got just the right amount of I won’t smile for anyone but my woman.. that this author does so well. Read it in a few hours and loved every bit of it. Definitely the kind of book you’ll end up reading again.

Great banter!. Fix Her Up was a highly entertaining story and great start to a new standalone series. Georgie made this book for me. She's so quirky and fun. I can't tell you how many times she had me giggling. Despite not liking how everyone treats her like a child she didn't really care what people thought of her. She does want to be taken seriously but still be herself. I really liked that about her. Travis was a bitter and angry man after getting injured and losing his professional baseball career. He needed a kick in the pants and Georgie intends to deliver. She's been in love with him since she was a child and he treats her just like everyone else but as she challenges his new attitude, he's starting to see her in a new light. I really enjoyed the banter between these two. He's angry and rude and she responds in a way that is defrosting his heart until he's no longer angry. They were just a fun couple to read about. The only thing that I didn't enjoy about this book was the way Travis insisted he would never do commitment. I'm just not a fan of commitment phobe men, however, it didn't keep me from appreciating their journey to a happily ever after.

Sweet and Spicy. Such a good book!!! Loved the characters and their development. Highly recommend!

Booladdict

One of my favorites. This book caught my attention immediately and didn’t let go until the last page. I did feel like the ending was somewhat abrupt but I’ve read the other two books in this series and was glad to be able to hear a bit more about their story. This was my favorite book of the series as well. Highly recommend.

Bingo rena

Breath of fresh air. Finally! I took a chance n paid more than ever before and I’m so pleased. No stupid misunderstandings that lead to repetitive cheaters that cause you to skip half the book. The s$x scenes were originally written just a breath of fresh air.

Adorable, witty & sexy. 4 Grand Slam stars!!I love Tessa Bailey's style! This story is equal parts adorable, sexy, sweet, witty and steamy. It was a pleasure to read! I love the fake relationship trope and this is honestly such a good one! I just adore Georgie! She is funny, sweet and so innocent when it comes to relationships, but she has had it bad for Travis since she was a young girl. She is self supporting and driven and has a fun and quirky career that she is trying to turn into an entire business. She has not been very well supported by her family though. Travis is a former baseball star/player and may not my favorite person at first, but he goes a long way to redeem himself and make me love him, thanks to Georgie! He, unlike her family, really sees her, even if it took a little bit. How could he not fall in love with her? Georgie and Travis are such a great couple and are simply magical together! Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for this ARC.

More Tessa Gold. Loved this book as I love everything Tessa writes.

Sweet and Steamy!!. Georgie Castle is the youngest out of the Castle Siblings and instead of going into home renovation, she decided to be a children's party entertainer, making children laugh and smile. Travis Ford, Georgies older brothers best friend from child hood, has been gone for years pursuing his baseball career until he has a major injury causing him to retire his glove. Travis comes back to town to wallow in self pity for the loss of his dream and Georgie is determined to not let him sulk. Georgie has had a long term crush in Travis since they were kids but he will never get past her "little sister" status. Georgie is tired of always being treated like a child in her family so she is determined to step out and show the world how much of a woman she can be. Starting with her look. She gets her hair done, and gets a whole new wardrobe. Trading up from all the second hand clothes she usually buys. When Travis see's Georgie's new look he is taken back at how grown up she looks. One thing leads to another, and they end up coming up with a fake relationship to help Travis's career, and to help Georgie show her family she is not a little girl anymore. They may be in a fake relationship but are the feelings fake as well? I devoured this book in one sitting! I think any women can relate to Georgie at least some point in their life. Georgie has such an innocence about her and how she views the world you can't help but root for her! This book has the perfect amount of sweetness, sass, and steam!! This book had me swooning and is going on my list of favorites so far this year!

fun, flirty, steamy and playful. FIX HER UP is the first instalment in Tessa Bailey’s contemporary, adult HOT AND HAMMERED erotic, romance series. This is twenty-eight year old, former professional baseball player Travis Ford, and twenty-three year old, birthday clown Georgette ‘Georgie’ Castle’s story line. Told from dual third person perspectives (Georgie and Travis) FIX HER UP follows the fake relationship trope between twenty-eight year old, former professional baseball player Travis Ford, and twenty-three year old, birthday clown Georgette ‘Georgie’ Castle. Travis Ford’s life has spiralled out of controlled since the career ending injury left him without a direction in life. Heading home with his tail between his legs Travis will come face to face with his best friend’s younger sister, a little girl who is now all grown up. When the second opportunity of a life-time is offered to our story line hero, Travis knows he has to clean up his act including his reputation as a man-wh*re, and a hit it and quit it serial dater. Enter Georgette ‘Georgie’ Castle, the woman who has offered to go along with a ‘fake relationship’ deal, in an effort to help Travis become the next big thing in baseball commentating. What ensues is the fake but building relationship between Georgia and Travis, and the potential fall-out as sins of the past destroy the fragile truce between Travis and the people back home. Travis Ford’s reputation as a womanizer precedes his return to his hometown of Fort Jefferson but the one-time baseball phenom is no longer riding the glory train but the train to embarrassment festered by his previous reputation. In an effort to clean up his image Travis agrees to a ‘fake relationship’ with his best friend’s sister, a relationship that is about to turn into something more. Georgie Castle has never been taken seriously by anyone in her family and her career choice as a birthday clown seems to solidify her family’s observations of their youngest child. Never taken seriously Georgie ventures off on her own only to realize that her relationship with Travis may have been a bigger ruse than she could have ever imagined. The relationship between Travis and Georgie is a best friend’s little sister / fake relationship that finds our couple considering that what ifs and whys of something more but Travis’ past refuses to die including the reputation that is constantly dragging him down. The $ex scenes are erotic, passionate and intense. Travis likes to talk dirty to the woman with whom he will fall in love. We are introduced to Georgie’s family: brother Stephen and his wife Kristin; their sister Bethany, and their parents Morty and Vivian Castle; friends Rosie and her husband Dominic; and several small minded townies with long memories. FIX HER UP is a story of family, friendship, reputation and love. The premise is wondrous and spicy; the characters are sassy, eclectic and energetic; the romance is steamy and hot. FIX HER UP is a flirty, fun and playful story you will not soon forget.

Literary Littlefoot

Spicy. Cute but very spicy! The story is well written and the characters are full and dynamic. I found the romance to be a little stretched out and slow though. I also wasn’t crazy for Travis and Georgie’s dynamic. But that’s more a me problem. Overall it was a good read!

Anniespagnuolo

A cute, solid read. Listen, all you have to say is 1) Tessa Bailey; 2) fake dating, and; 3) best friend's little sister, and I'm there. This was a cute read with some good emotional depth - Travis is a former MLB All Star whose career was cut short due to injury, and he has daddy issues, while Georgie is the youngest sibling in a family that won't take her seriously - and a fun cast of supporting characters. We were introduced to the couple in the sequel here and I can taste the delicious angst already. Sidenote - I'm super here for the recent illustrated cover trend that's been taking over romance of late.

Chloe~Bibliophile90

MUST READ!. I absolutely loved this story!! My heart endured so many feels. I fell in love with all the characters, especially Georgie and Travis. Sad for it to end but I can’t wait to read the rest of the series. Tessa Bailey, you are my new favourite author! A must read

Daerani

Fix her up. Adding review after my second read. Loved this book. It’s cute, it’s hot, it got fake dating and brothers best friend trope going for it. The build up to the spice and the spice itself is *chefs kisses*. So hot. Love a Tess Bailey book and the others in this series are good too. Dual POV, med level spice, 18+

Mae's iTunes

Easy read that keeps you tantalized.. Finished in a day, didn’t want to put it down knowing that there was another hot steamy scene on its way.

Shikky14

Could not put down!. I read this book for 7 hours straight!! I loved every second of it. Totally invested.

Maruš Čechová

Romance with a spark. I really enjoyed this whole book. I was gripped from start to finish. I don’t normally read romance novels but this one took my eye and I couldn’t look away. There is this honesty about how the author describes her characters and guides them through their journeys.

Lizziec89

Love love loved it. I absolutely loved this book. I couldn't put it down. The chemistry between Georgie and Travis is perfect from the beginning. This book was sweet, funny, very steamy and heartbreaking. I can't wait to read the next book in the series hoping there is some insight into how Georgie and Travis’ relationship progressed.

LSMc78
