✱✱Book Review✱✱ Fixing Him by Miranda Elaine


Fixing Him
by Miranda Elaine


One summer. 
Three months.
Ninety days spent learning every inch of Sam Matthews’ body.
We agreed to no strings when our time was up. 
We promised we could both handle this.
I lied. 

I never expected to fall for this man or this town. 
This was just supposed to be a stop on the way to starting my real life. 
But now, time is up and everything feels wrong.

He says I’m too young.
He says I’m too innocent. 
He says he’s not the type to settle down.

He’s fixing my newly inherited home.
Now, I’m fixing his frame of mind.






Momma Says: 4 stars⭐⭐⭐⭐

Fixing Him is a mixed bag of romance tropes. We get contemporary, romantic comedy, coming of age, new adult, older man/younger woman, a bit of steamy fun, and small town romance all terrifically blended with an emphasis on lighthearted romantic comedy. While the story does feel a little drawn out given the low angst level, it is filled with wonderful characters and witty dialogue, including Montana's inner dialogue which is the source of several chuckles along the way. I love that even though Sam is the older of the two and oh, so serious, he does a lot of growing up on an emotional level as he and Montana get to know each other, and his aha moment is just perfect. The angst in the romance is exactly as I expected, coming from the feelings that grow between this couple despite their insistence that it's just a fling, so there really aren't a lot of surprises in the story, which keeps the mood light and the story engaging. All in all, Sam and Montana's story is fun, entertaining, and full of characters so real they practically leap off the page.
