Summary

Her Fixer Upper by Emily Kerr is a charming romance about a woman who inherits a dilapidated cottage in the countryside and partners with a handsome, yet somewhat grumpy, local builder to renovate it. As they work together on the fixer-upper, they discover unexpected layers of themselves and the possibility of new beginnings. The story beautifully intertwines personal growth with the blossoming of romance amidst sawdust and paint.

Description

The brand new forced proximity romcom about second chance love from the author of Take a Chance on Greece.

Unable to afford their own homes, two friends decide to buy a renovation house together as a project. What could possibly go wrong…?

Freya dreams of owning her own home.

Charlie is struggling to get a mortgage.

When the two old friends bump into each other on a night out, Charlie jokes that buying together would solve all their problems. He doesn’t expect Freya to say yes, let alone yes to a less-than-perfect fixer upper.

Nobody said renovating their dream home would be easy, but will Charlie and Freya fall out of love with the house, or in love with each other…

From the winner of the Romantic Comedy award at the Romantic Novelists’ Association awards 2023, this is the perfect feel-good read for fans of Beth O’Leary and Lia Louis.
