When the most magical thing you could do was set your own underwear on fire. Life was not going to be easy, even less so with a painful tail that everyone trod on. Owning a magic sword that always tried to look up your skirt when fighting was not helpful. But then nor was having a telepathic diary that corrected your thinking instead of your spelling. Views: 10
London is never the same after the boisterous Farthingales move into their townhouse on Chipping Way, one of the loveliest streets in fashionable Mayfair. With five beautiful daughters in residence, the street soon becomes known as a deathtrap for bachelors. Ewan Cameron, estranged grandson of the Duke of Lotheil, is in London because of a deathbed promise made to his father and has no intention of staying beyond his three month obligation. Nothing can tempt him to remain, not even Lily, the beautiful bluestocking determined not only to restore relations between him and his grandfather, but to turn Ewan into a proper gentleman. Ewan, proud of his Scottish heritage, refuses to admit that Lily, a blue-eyed, English girl, has claimed his heart. It doesn’t matter that his big lump of a sheepdog is madly in love with her. Nor is it significant that Ewan can always tell Lily apart from her identical twin sister. Always. Lily Farthingale, the scholarly twin, dreams of becoming the first female member of the Royal Society. She grabs at the chance when the elderly Duke of Lotheil approaches her with a proposition—he’ll admit her into the Royal Society, if she helps him to establish a relation with his estranged grandson, Ewan Cameron, a very rough-around-the-edges Scotsman who hates everything English. Between shootings, explosions, and Lily’s abduction, Ewan ends up falling in love with Lily in this Pygmalion-inspired story. Views: 10

Their tempestuous relationship leads to an explosive revelation that threatens to destroy them both. Emotional and touching, this is a story of second chances. Is their love shattered beyond repair?ReviewWow. Wow wowie wow wow. This book was freaking fantastic! I picked it up thinking it was going to be along the lines of "One Day," and it kind of was, but SO much better! I loved reading Richard and Hanna's story, and I even fell in love with Tom, Ruby, and Matty along the way. This book was extremely well written, and I could NOT put it down! A++++++++ - Ashleigh, ChiquitabloggerAs well as being an extremely well written story, with truly likeable and believable characters in it, I loved the way that actual events that have taken place since the two main characters first met have been interwoven into the story. This is first and foremost a romance, with some rather hot scenes in it and does feature a HEA but it is also just so much more and it's also a standalone. Congratulations Carrie Elks for creating such a wonderful book. - Tina, Netgalley ARC reviewerCarrie Elks has done what a lot of authors struggle to do in that she has put a simple story down on paper, but made it unusual in the fact that it is engrossing, emotive, easy to relate too (even though my life is and has never been remotely like the characters), it's a total win for me on every level. As a Brit, being set mainly in the UK and the US adds to the appeal, there isn't anything in Fix You that I didn't like. - Claire, Netgalley ARC reviewerEngaging writing, realistic characters, a believable storyline and no insta-love. Fix You is a love story about overcoming hardships and facing the consequences of your mistakes; a love story that will touch your heart and stay with you forever.
