Today we welcome Rachel's Random Resources and the latest release from author Phoebe MacLeod.

The Fixer Upper
by

About the book...
Finding a man is like buying a house: sometimes you have to look beyond the exterior to see the potential underneath.

As an estate agent, Alex’s job is to create happy-ever-afters. It’s just a shame she can’t work the same magic on her own life. Her long-term boyfriend Thomas still lives with his mother, and her hopes of them taking the next step are dashed when he announces he’s spending all his savings (savings she’d quite hoped he’d want to put towards their future home) on an ‘artist retreat’ in San Francisco.

With Thomas thousands of miles away, getting a little too friendly with his fellow artistes, Alex strikes up a friendship with her new neighbour, Callum. Taciturn, grumpy and nerdy, Callum couldn’t be more different to Alex’s bubbly personality.... So why is he the one she wakes up wanting to talk to?

As they get to know each other, Alex starts to wonder if the answer to all her problems might be closer to home than she thinks…

What begins as an adventure in friendship turns into a potential double love affair!

It was great watching the meet cute moments between Alex's bestie and their new neighbour, especially when the one at the Cafe went so well! Tongue tied is a real condition, and usually eats rears it's head just when you're trying to keep your cool. Such is the case here, but the heart knew what it wanted even when the mouth couldn't form the words. One connection down, that left one friend flatmate-less and one bestie (Alex) in the same situation. A swap of a sort happens, and while it might have been made out of logical convenience, it might just end with hearts a flutter.

It was cute to see the comings together actually come together. There were moments of laughter along the way, moments of growth, self realization, and change, but perhaps most importantly... love of both the soul mate variety and the friend.  A great pick for Contemporary Romance fans as well as light Romcom and Women's Fiction fans.
