Their relationship turns to friendship with Georgie still hiding the fact that she is in love with Travis. She gets him out of that bed by throwing food and more banter at him. “Really? Because I can feel you staring at my ass.” “You used to be a nine point five, but you’re slowly bottoming–ha into a seven.” Tons of them.” On the internet, God bless it. What the f*ck? I’m not even wearing clothes.” She walks in on him naked, face down on his bed. The only person to get him out of the disgusting apartment is Georgie. Travis spends his first few weeks back home drunk in his apartment, feeling sorry for himself.

She has a business degree and the passion to do it. She wants to take her clown job and turn it into an entertainment company. Yeah, her job as a clown at children’s parties doesn’t help with people treating her as a kid but she’s 22 and wants to be seen as an adult. Georgie is the youngest of the Castle siblings and she is sick of being seen only as the baby of the family. I also like it when the forbidden little sister/best friend romance. I’m a sucker for romance that features people getting a HEA with their childhood crushes. Fix Her Up is a sweet romance with some not sweet moments of smexy times. But Tessa Bailey snuck in a dirty talking hero that not only pushed all of the heroine’s buttons but this reader’s buttons too. Sure Georgie Castle is the little sister of his best friend and seems like the girl next door.


The cover for Fix Her Up made me think I was going to get a sweet, small-town romance… I got more! Sure the setting is in a small town where a big-time baseball player, Travis Ford, comes back home after an injury takes him off the diamond forever. Fix Her Up is the first book in Hot and Hammered series and my first time reading Tessa Bailey, and I’m glad I found her.
