The Fix by Sylvie Stewart
4.0
The Fix (Carolina Connections) by Sylvie Stewart is the author’s debut romance novel that I gave 4 out of 5 stars. This was such a “lol” novel, very witty and humorous for a romance-it was a great change of pace from all the dramatic romance novels! Thank God I was reading alone, because I kept giggling aloud throughout the book. This book is written in first person alternating POVs by the two main characters: Laney and Nate.
Laney has never taken the easy paths in life, and has a humorous often sarcastic approach to everything. She is 25 years old, a single mother, and making it work on her own. She doesn’t need a man in her life-well except for her goofy fun-loving brother, Gavin. He helps out with her adorable little boy, Rocco. It’s the least he can do considering he’s mooching off her, living with his sister with zero initiative to find a job. She got pregnant while still in college, successfully graduated, landed a job, and moved out from parent’s house. She is feisty and determined to succeed in life unlike her carefree brother. Gavin, however, finally gets a job working construction with more benefits than just pay. His boss, Nate, is gorgeous. A chance encounter between Laney and Nate leads to instant sparks! Chemistry aside, they have differing views on the new construction taking place in Laney’s neighborhood. Unable to deny their chemistry they begin to spend time together. Family is everything to Nate, and he adores her little boy. But Laney doesn’t want to depend on anyone, and isn’t sure she believes in true love. Will she take a risk on love with Nate?
This was such a great easy read. Laney is super genuine, and self-depreciating. She is hilarious, and I found myself laughing quite a bit while reading. Such witty banter, and well developed characters. Can’t wait to read more in the Carolina Connections world!
