Ben Langley is such a genuine soul that it was hard not to fall in love. Adorably shy, socially awkward and with a genius that is unquestionable. However, somewhere along the way he allowed his insecurity to control him. Backhanded comments from family and friends made him aware that he was different and his tender heart started to break. Holly is a smart, ambitious business woman. On the verge of losing it all. Following her heart cost her dearly in the love department, wrecked her self-esteem and may cost her the business she loves. In order to save it she has to take a chance on a new client. Too bad he makes her want more than just a business relationship.

I received an ARC of The Fix-Up by Tawna Fenske in exchange for an honest review. I thought it was a cute read. Ms. Fenske tackled self-esteem issues in a sweet, yet subtle way. She did so with such class that the lesson did not come across preachy. She also centered that lesson around the male lead learning to listen to his heart. With a little help from fate, he snagged his angel on the first impression. ( )

Cute contemporary romance. Its fairly predictable but still enjoyable. Its a light read so if you want sweet, swoony romance without a ton on drama/angst, this is a great book to grab! Check out my full review on my blog ( )

DESCRIPTION, NOT REVIEW: Uncovering this sexy geek’s charm is easy. Keeping her hands off of him is impossible.

While he may look like the love child of a movie starlet and an NFL linebacker, Ben Langley has the people skills of a half-drowned porcupine. Why socialize when there are chemistry labs and bad sci-fi flicks? If he has any hope of taking the helm as CEO of the family business, Ben needs an image makeover. Pronto.

Enter Holly Colvin, owner of First Impressions public relations and branding firm, and the woman who just saved Ben from the clutches of an over-attentive sales clerk. Holly’s rebranded hundreds of companies in her career, but she’s never rebranded a person. The guy clearly needs help, though, and she’s just the woman for the job.

With the clock ticking for them both, Holly and Ben face off over wardrobe malfunctions and business jargon that sounds a lot sexier than it should. But can Holly make Ben into the man he thinks he should be without losing the man she’s starting to love? ( )

Hunky Geek meets Makeover Genius!

Ben and Holly meet in a furniture store, move on to his becoming her customer for an image makeover and some CEO skill-building and their chemistry develops from flying sparks to steamy heat. I loved the titillating geek speak, the boardroom scenes, the coaching, the stuck zipper and so much more. This was also a story about learning to be the best person you can be without letting go of who you truly are. It was a fun story that had me laughing in places and rooting for the happily ever after Ben and Holly both deserved.

Thank you to NetGalley and Entangled Publishing LLC for the ARC to read and review. ( )
