I got to page 117 and had to hurl this across the room because the brain cells were gushing out of my nose at this point at an alarming rate. My sincere condolences to the English Lit intern at whatever publishers who had to wade through a pile of this kind of dreck and decide this was the one worth publishing. This makes Twilight look like Pulitzer Prize-winning material. Even LifeTime Network should turn this down for not meeting its high standards. Kudos seriously to the author for insulting the romance genre, a woman’s ability to think, readers above a fourth-grade level, the English dictionary, Roget’s Thesaurus, HGTV, and birthday clowns. DNF.

I agree with all of the other one star reviews of this book. Fix Her Up is darn near close to unreadable to me. My biggest issue with the book is that it uses so many tired romance/chick lit cliches that publishers should force into retirement if writers won't do it themselves. Do we really need a book with another magical virgin (who is super hot and desirable, but still so gosh darn pure and untouched by men) who "saves" a troubled womanizer with a heart of gold? It's tired. Let's move past that.
The book is also profoundly misogynistic. Arguments or disagreements between partners end with one of the male characters throwing his partner over his shoulder or making her leave a situation involving other women hanging out and having fun. I guess that wouldn't be a big deal if this were the 1950s, but it's baffling that something like that is supposed to be romantic or cute to a modern audience.
Finally, there's a dissonance between the cover art (which I realize that the author probably doesn't have a lot of control over) and the content of the book. The cover art style is in the same vein of chick lit titles like The Hating Game , but this book is straight up porn. Like porn porn. If you're hankering for a story line that involves lots of bodily fluids being released onto different body parts then this might be the book for you (I was not), but if you're looking for a breezy chick lit read for the summer, this is definitely not the book for you.

Ok so I just think I love Tessa Bailey books. Georgie and Travis have such a cute relationship right from the beginning. Fake dating but they have nothing but smut for 70% so are they really that fake? Love the plot and love the smut
There were like 4 tropes going on in this book simultaneously…and I enjoyed all of them. What more can you ask for in a smutty romance book like this one?!
