One handywoman.
One single dad.
One set of twins.
And the wall isn’t the only thing being drilled…
I learned the hard way that being a handywoman isn’t easy. The questions, the stares—the assumption I’m the proud owner of a cock and balls. Not that it matters. I’ve proven over and over that I’m ready for anything the judgmental asses throw at me.
Except the hot, single dad of twins who just moved to town.
Brantley Cooper gets the shock of his life when I show up on his doorstep to fix up his kids’ new rooms. His son is confused why ‘the pretty lady has a drill,’ and his daughter has a new obsession—me.
On paper, my job is easy. Go in, do their bedrooms, and leave.
In theory, I’m spending eight hours a day with a guarded, sexy as hell guy, and I’m staying for dinner more often than I’m eating it alone, on my couch, with Friends re-runs.
I shouldn’t be staying for dinner. I shouldn’t be helping him out with the twins. I shouldn’t be falling in love with tiny toes and dimpled cheeks.
And I most definitely should not be kissing my client.

“Deal with it,” I echoed, my mouth dry. “What exactly do you mean by that?”
He glanced at my mouth.
“Okay, but, um, here’s the thing.” I couldn’t breathe. I sounded like a panting idiot trying to get the words out between each short, sharp breath I took. “This,” I motioned between us, “is bad.”
“Bad.” His lips tugged to the side.
“Yes. Because,”—help. Someone help—“because this isn’t allowed. Company rules. No cavorting with clients.”
“No cavorting with clients.” That half-smile turned into a full-blown grin. “That’s very…proper.”
“Well, I can’t exactly put, “No sleeping with the clients” now, can I?”
“You could have, but it would have been unfortunately precise.”
“I should change that.”
“I disagree.”
I licked my lips. “You should agree. Because this is—”
“Bad. You said.” More lip twitching.
“I thought you were sorry you made it awkward by kissing me.”
“That was before I found out you were attracted to me. Now, I’m a lot less sorry I kissed you.”
Oh. Well. Fair enough.
“Should I take back my acceptance of your apology?” I asked.
“You should stop talking and see how you feel when I’ve kissed you again.”
4.5 Stars
Having only recently discovered Emma Hart, I was very eager to read this title as soon as I saw the reveal for this bright, fun, enticing cover, add a single father into the synopsis and I was hooked.
Miss Fix-It is a completely entertaining romantic-comedy, that oozes heat, heart and above all humor, with characters that will steal your heart. I loved the chemistry between Brantley and Kali and the slow build up of sexual tension. Miss Fix-It is a sweet, sexy, witty and fun read with banter that is fun, flirty and filled with sexual innuendo. So often throughout this title I found myself laughing out loud, smiling or giggling to the antics of these endearing, yet completely relate-able characters.
I was captivated with Brantley and Kali's story from the very first page, and much to my disgust had to put it down to perform parenting duties like collecting the kids from school, helping with homework and preparing dinner. Once I completed those tasks the kids were on there own, and I dived straight back into this captivating, engaging and entertaining read.
Kali is a fabulous character, although she's a handyman/builder she doesn't fit into any stereotypical mold, she's very feminine. She's sarcastic, smart, sassy, and optimistic. Although she lacks experience with children, and doesn't seem to have maternal instincts I loved the evolving nature of her relationship with Ellie and Eli.
This title is told from the sole point of view of Kali, and I would have loved to have had some of the book in Brantley's point of view. He's a serious, kind, caring single father. His frustration at times is palpable, and very realistic and makes him completely relate-able.
I adored the interactions not only between Kali and Brantely, but with his two endearing, lovable, precocious twins Ellie and Eli. This rambunctious pair of four year olds were so realistic and relate-able, and funny with the mischief and mayhem they create, but at the same time completely adorable.
I cannot recommend this title highly enough to anyone who enjoys a romantic comedy, and I will be eagerly anticipating more of Emma Hart's work in the future.
By day, New York Times and USA Today bestselling New Adult author Emma Hart dons a cape and calls herself Super Mum to two beautiful little monsters. By night, she drops the cape, pours a glass of whatever she fancies—usually wine—and writes books.
Emma is working on Top Secret projects she will share with her followers and fans at every available opportunity. Naturally, all Top Secret projects involve a dashingly hot guy who likes to forget to wear a shirt, a sprinkling (or several) of hold-onto-your-panties hot scenes, and a whole lotta love.
She likes to be busy—unless busy involves doing the dishes, but that seems to be when all the ideas come to life.
