FIX ME NOT is a standalone read in a series with a HEA. Asher is a solitary man. He is an extreme introvert but I don't think his family recognizes that. I do because I too am one!! We are not an easily understood personality. Asher is a very talented carpenter. He owns his own business living off the grid in his house, shop and cabin on the lake. All built by him. His family has problems understanding that he is not lonely he just prefers being alone. He is a big, gorgeous male with a mountain man persona including the beard. He doesn't intrude on anyone and he prefers that everyone keeps their distance.
Millie is his housekeeper and errand runner. She buys his groceries, picks up his mail and keeps his house tidy. She is one of the only people that truly understands him. She is a widow with one grown daughter. Asher is the son she never had. She has a fall in his house, breaks her leg, and is out of commission for about 6 weeks. Her grown daughter, Paige, is going to take over her duties until she gets back on her feet.
Paige is the heroine. There is not one thing to like about this woman. She is 30, single and very bitter. In New York she had her own event planning company. She was living the good life. A fancy apartment, eats only at the best restaurants, frequents the upscale bars, dates only successful "suits". She has it all. She is so wrapped up in how successful she is that she forgets to pay attention to detail. Her employee steals from her leaving her with nothing. She loses it all, her bank account, her apartment, her job, her big city life. She returns home with her tail tucked between her legs. She is angry, bitter, snarky, hateful, rude and obnoxious. There is truly not one thing to like about her. Not having a good relationship with her mother they are constantly at each other. She hates how far she has fallen and wants only to earn enough money to get her out of town and back in a big city. Preferable one far from New York. She is a real piece of work. However, don't give up on her. I almost did. I didn't like her at all and couldn't see anyway that I eventually would.
Naturally the H&h clash from the first moment. He is a recluse, living like a mountain man and she is big city and all that entails. She thinks she knows it all and everyone around her is way beneath her social status. Don't give up on her. I would have but I liked Asher too much to let her ruin the story for me. He is a terrific hero, you can't help but love him. For most of the story he comes across as a very innocent 30 year old man but then when he makes his move he is anything but. It is a terrific story. I found it entertaining and fun. You can't help but love his family, there are a lot of siblings and they are all in each other's business. All knowing what is best for the other. It is a light-hearted read with some steamy scenes. I thoroughly enjoyed it and definitely recommend it. This is Book 2 in this series. Noah an older brother has his story in book 1. You do not need to read in order to enjoy the story. This book stands alone. I am reading in order. I loved Noah's story so went right to Asher's. Next is the sister, Abby. She is in need of a HEA so I'm interested to see how her story goes. A good read.
I was not paid for this review. I am not a writer nor do I know one. I am not kin to this author. I am a reader and this is my opinion, nothing more, nothing less. 9/23/18

I was gifted a copy of this book for an honest review. Knowing this book would involve Asher I was expecting to love it even more. I gravitate toward other introverts. Though Asher's actions proved to be one of a person who keeps to himself, his words said other wise. Maybe its from having opinionated family, but he was quick with his comebacks. I also didn't really find myself gravitating toward their love story. At one moment the pace was slow then the next have we sped through. I was low key more invested in what was happening with Noah and their sister Abbey. I know the sister's story is coming next year and I hope I can remember to get it. I gave the book 3.5/5 stars.
