Fixed Up Ever After
by Anastasia Dean
ARC Review!
Fixed Up Ever After is the second book in the New Beginnings Romance series, but can be read as a standalone. While I have not yet read the first book (but I will!), I suggest starting with Ofelia and Maverick's story first, then delve straight into this one.
Now onto the second book in the series, let's start with that cover! Curvy FMCs have become more popular in modern contemporary romance books, but they are still scarcely represented, whether on the front cover or in teasers. It is refreshing to see a cover that accurately represents the characters as described in the story.
Onto the story...Meet Lola, the fierce and independent FMC, whose relationship with her family has been far from easy. After a rather difficult family event, she impulsively decides to engage in a one-night stand with a man she matched with on a dating app. Enter Javi, the lucky guy, who immediately feels a connection with Lola, but knows that their encounter is a one time thing, and they will most likely never see each other again.
Fast forward to several months later, Lola seizes an opportunity to become her own boss by buying a bookshop. The store requires renovation, and coincidentally, Javi is looking to start his own construction business. Meanwhile, Lola is faced with another family event she dreads attending alone, and ends up asking Javi to be her fake date for a week. To her surprise, he eagerly accepts, seeing this as a chance to spend more time with her. The fine line between real and fake gradually starts to blur, thrusting them into a whirlwind of emotions as they navigate through their newfound feelings.
This book is full of self-discovery, witty banter, and unexpected connections. It is beautifully written and well paced, and will definitely keep you enthralled until the very last page.
