Rating: 4/5 stars.

I REALLY enjoyed this series, and highly recommend if you want fun and relatively fluffy small town romance reads. The audio was particularly entertaining and I really enjoyed the narrator!

In Fix Her Up, a former baseball player enters into a fake dating scheme with his best friend’s little sister. I thought this one was a little silly in parts (Georgie is a literal party clown, like, professionally) but fake dating is my jam, I loved Travis, and I thought this was a great balance of spicy and sweet.

I loved these characters, even the side one (who have their own books too!!!). The struggles they had were so real, and the mistakes and victories were as well. While I didn’t enjoy having a 3rd act breakup, it did make sense so I can’t fault it too bad. And the spice!! Not kinky, but steamy.

Slightly a Sports Romance, Fake Dating, Brother’s BFF, 3 3/4 🔥

Once you get over your initial shock over the clown part, this turns into such a good read!! Idk if it's Tessa Bailey or the people who narrate her books but whenever I listen to one, I'm so hooked, it really becomes my nr. 1 priority.

This is brother's best friend at its finest especially because Travis quickly realizes how much cooler Georgie is than her brother 🤭

These two had the absolute cutest relationship and it was so hot at the same time 🥵 You should've seen my face during some of those lines haha

As another woman in her 20s who'll tell everyone how excited she is to have kids, I loved seeing that displayed in Georgie! So often we get kids in epilogues without the characters having exchanged one word about it but here it was an actual topic.

I couldn't really get on board with their girls club just yet because in the book they're constantly like "it's not just for hating men!!" but then they do do a lot of men hating there 😂 But we've got two more books about it so I'm hoping to love it more by the end!

Such a great series opener and looking forward to continuing <3

The characters were so lovable. And the plot was comfortable, but not too comfortable. It kept familiar tropes that other romance books have, but put a slight twist on them.

Only reason I wouldn’t rate it higher is the plot is too simple compared to other books I’ve read.

Tessa never fails to keep me entertained and wanting more. Sure its a little cheesy but sometimes thats what you need. Georgie is a beautiful character and one I aspire to be like when I grow up…
