Book Review: The Love Fixers
The Love Fixers by Angela Casella
Do you like Grump next Door, Found Family, a bit of Enemies to Lovers, Funny Banter, Romantic Comedy tropes?
If so, pay attention:
Book Summary on Goodreads:
Send help and wine. My sister is trying to set me up with the grump next door.
Claire
A few hours after losing my job, I get a call from a stranger who claims I’ve inherited property from my father. I assume it’s a scam, because my dad is very much alive. Turns out my mother is the liar.
I board a flight to my bio-dad’s hometown, hoping for answers, but the turbulence is so bad I worry we won’t make it. Declan, the hot, tattooed hunk next to me, is obviously terrified too. When the plane freefalls for half a second, he kisses me with the passion of a man who thinks he’s about to die. He seems to regret it immediately afterward—and we both regret it when we discover he’s my new next door neighbor, a complication neither of us wants.
To make matters worse, it turns out my bio-dad’s cabin is only half mine. The rest belongs to a half-sister I didn’t know I had—Nicole, a pink-haired private investigator and possible psychopath.
If I weren’t unemployed and broke, I’d leave, but this crappy half-a-house is my only possession. So I stay in the hopes that I can convince her to sell. Unfortunately, she seems intent on setting me up with Declan, among other manipulations, and her matchmaking tactics are…extreme.
If that doesn't make you want to read the book, we hope we can help.
The plot was PERFECTLY paced. Seriously. We've read books where all the action happened more upfront, but not The Love Fixers.
Casella does a great job of leading the plot through the various conflicts and character drama (because we all have drama, why shouldn't a book character?!), and when we got to the BIG moment in the book where the 'who done it' is exposed ... we were shocked.
Did we see it coming? Maybe earlier in the book, there were glimpses. But not really.
Because so much happened, and so much progress continued with the plot, that we sort of forgot about the douchebag.
Not only that, but the banter and the laugh out loud comedic reactions that Casella has woven throughout the story had us not wanting to put it down.
We're a sucker for a good romance though, and especially the adoration and yearning of a MMC like Declan. The Love Fixers was a fun read, with laugh out loud banter that made us want to keep reading and rooting for the main characters to get together.
Sound like a good read?
