And girl-next-door heroine Georgie is definitely sweet. Travis really will make your heart (and other places) throb with his physical confidence, his full-throttle sensuality and the delicious way he gets caught up in the heroine despite his attempts to keep his distance. And this story has more than enough heat and excitement and sweetness and charm to keep you glued to the page.
That doesn’t stop it from being an amazingly fun ride. So what? You know where a rollercoaster is going before you get on. If you’re certain it’ll inevitably lead to hijinks, misunderstandings, personal resolutions not to get attached and irresistible attraction that makes the fake romance real in spite of everything. With the small-town vibe, the local-boy-makes-good-hero story, the second-chance romance and the best-friend’s-sister trope all coming together, you may think you know where Fix Her Up is going, especially when Travis and Georgie concoct a plan to fake a relationship to boost their reputations. But when Travis returns to town, directionless and depressed after an injury and multiple surgeries have drained his career and his sense of self-worth, Georgie catches his eye in a way she never had before-by chucking greasy leftovers at his head and dragging him, kicking and screaming, back to life. The fame and success that followed (topped with a certain scandal-sheet notoriety: photos from an interrupted interlude earned him the nickname Two Bats) surprised no one, least of all Georgie Castle, his best friend’s little sister who always idolized him from afar.
Travis Ford has been Port Jefferson’s pride and joy ever since he was a high school MVP knocking grand slams out of the park.
