Gannon came from loud, passionate Italian stock that wasn’t afraid to smash a plate to make a statement. Paige, on the other hand, systematically choked down any temper and, with frosty efficiency, made him dance like a damn puppet.From the Wall Street Journal and Amazon bestselling author comes a new standalone novel.Gannon King is great with his hands and–if you believe what you read on … hands and–if you believe what you read on Twitter–he’s “sex in a toolbelt.” The reality TV star learned his lesson about falling for pretty packages the hard, painful, humiliating way and he’s not making that mistake again.
Sure, “Legs” is gorgeous as hell and smart-mouthed–two of his favorite qualities in a woman. But she’s an icy network kiss-ass. At least, that’s what he thinks until he catches her being human.
Field producer Paige St. James has zero time for temperamental stars, especially Gannon who does his best to get under her skin. She’s got plans to get out of reality TV and do something that matters.
But ratings are king and, when Paige and Gannon’s sparks are captured by cameras, the network smells a time slot victory. After an on-set accident and a vindictive celebrity “girlfriend,” Paige finds her reputation in tatters and her job hanging by a thread.
She never should have trusted him…
But now that he’s gotten those talented hands on her, Gannon’s never letting go.

From a new-to-me author, I loved this book. Reality TV star of an HGTV style show falls for his producer. Really timely in how the workplace romance unfolds. Realistic discussions about a woman in power being treated differently than men. All while being really entertaining.
Holy Hell. This book was D-E-L-I-C- I-O-U-S! Delicious. It popped up as a recommended read on my kindle, and let’s be honest, anything by Lucy Score is worth reading. The plot was original and the characters believable. The budding romance HOT! Gannon is a broody, headbutt and Paige is the bust her ass gal. You feel the push and pull between them all through the book.
The ending of the book is an amazing moment and so well written. I had tears in my eyes reading about that brood, sexy man explaining himself. Oh, and the bonus for the book is just as amazing!
This is an excellent story. The characters draw you in and keep you engaged, page after page. The character development is fantastic. You feel like you are a part of the story. I felt their joy, sadness and couldn’t help but root for them from start to finish. While this novel brings the heat, it is just an element of the story. The plot is well written, detailed, and lets you see how the production side of reality tv happens and in particular how improvement shows happen.
There is something to be said about a comfort read. This is one for me. I have read this book no less than 4 times because I know that no matter what happens Gannon and Paige give me everything that I need on these pages. Gannon is total book boyfriend material, who recognizes that he messed up and does everything in his power to make Paige forgive him for something he didn’t truly realize he did. I love the fact that while Paige moves past the lie of omission she doesn’t allow Gannon to waltz back into her life without working for it. Yes, there are moments that I think Paige took it too far, but at the same time, when you read about her family life, there is an understanding that you forgive her stubbornness. That final reveal!!! OMG, Gannon gives the sweet and is everything that she needs in that moment. And that epilogue revisiting one of those characters that pull at your heart was the perfect moment. You NEED to give this book a read at least once!
MR. FIXER UPPER by Lucy Score. Gannon King, a sexy and cocky, Italian construction worker is stubborn and hot headed, but when he falls for Paige St. James, he’s all Mr. Romantic. MR. FIXER UPPER is a sexy and snort-laugh funny romance. Both Gannon and Paige are well round characters with a whole lot of chemistry. When it comes to humor, Lucy Score is riotously funny. I never laughed so hard especially on a scene involving the Piña Colada shampoo.
I loved it. Had a realistic view of women in the work place.
I love this book and reread it every year, there’s something about the gruff and prickly Gannon that you can’t help but love instantly. And Paige is a strong female who is trying to break into a male dominated world. She has strong values, and sticks to them. I love the setting of this book on a home remodeling show, it shows the backside of it like we’ve never seen. The heat is off the charts, and all in all this story is so beautifully written that it is timeless.
I loved the relationship between Gannon and Paige.
Lucy Score does not disappoint. Mr. Fixer Upper is an amazing story with real life issues (a very Lucy Score thing) that women are facing in our world today and gives a voice to it and brings attention to it. Gannon King and Paige St. Claire are an amazing couple that you can’t help but root for. I wish I had more books to read about Gannon and Paige. You’ll love this book! Enjoy your reading.
Love, love, love this book. It’s the kind of book you read again, just because of it’s awesomeness.
I really loved how the H showed our h just how much he loved her. I loved how they both grew in their relationship. She was a bit hard on him though..
Summit-Wingenroth thinks the main attraction in their reality TV show, Kings of Construction, is the hot King with the tool belt. Paige is the one that works in production to keep everyone and everything in place and on schedule. Sometimes, or maybe more times than not, Gannon King likes to push her buttons. All that friction leads Paige where she really didn’t want to go, especially when she doesn’t trust or do relationships. Gannon King screwed up once with Paige, but he’s not going to do it again. A sweet guy with a big heart slowly makes his moves to win the lady of his heart. You can’t help but fall a little bit in love with Gannon. Steamy sex.
The only thing real in a reality show is in the name. It’s all about ratings and advertising. Kings of Construction is a means to an end for Gannon King. He’s definitely a reluctant TV star who is Infuriating, sexy, talented and when he takes his shirt off, women across the country swoon. Paige St. James is charged with wrangling Gannon and the entire Kings field production and crew. She’s organized, insightful, professional and a problem solver. She captivated Gannon on the very first day of their first season. Gannon is a determined man when it comes to Paige but she has plans and being in a relationship is not part of them. Things go awry as they often do and she drops Gannon like a hot potato. But Gannon is not giving in easily. He begins to wage an all out campaign to win Paige’s heart. Oh, there could be a bit of subterfuge involved too. When she finally figures out she can have a career and love, they both get what they want…an HEA!
This one by Lucy Score gave me everything I love about a well written, romance! Amazingly well written and complex characters – both the main characters and the huge cast of secondary characters. Humor, angst, lots and lots of long awaited hot sexy times between Gannon and Paige and their gradually evolving relationship and the all important HEA. I LOVED this book and highly recommend. 🙂
Another awesome story by Lucy Score, loved it!
The story takes place on the set of reality TV show and we watch the leading couple fall for each other as they rebuild/build a dream home for a very deserving family.
** spoiler alert ** This is my new favorite from Lucy Score. Paige and Cannon get along like oil and water, but with all the heat from those arguments, eventually we have a fire. This novel has the right amount of soft, sweet, angst, and humanity to make your heart skip a few beats. With a nice rom-com spin on reality tv’s house flipping genre, you won’t want to put this book down. With amazing, brilliant, and strong female characters, and a leading man who is proud to stand back and be supportive partner in the story, this novel is a breath of fresh air.
This is my second Lucy Stone book and I really enjoy her writing style. I will say I got super annoyed with Paige and her holding back from Gannon. She just had such a flimsy excuse not to be with him and it really started to make me mad. Gannon was totally swoon worthy! Loved him!!!
This one was a bit of a slow starter for me, but WOW did it get hook me. The shower. The caretaking. And THE ENDING. This is my current favorite fictional proposal. Two thumbs up and a toolbelt salute to Gannon King, TV carpenter heartthrob.
Fun characters, good story line. The steamy sex scenes are believable with a realistic hero. Sweet side line with kids and family. Enjoyed read a lot
4.5 stars
This was my first book from this author……and I know it won’t be my last! It had fun and entertaining characters, and an enjoyable storyline. Absolutely loved Paige & Gannon!! They had an interesting working relationship, as they knew how to push each others buttons. But, there always seemed to be something else just under the surface. Once they gave into their attraction, they had to learn how to navigate a relationship while working with one another…..and that wasn’t always easy. And after a particularly rocky time in their relationship, Gannon comes up with the ultimate grand gesture of love to show Paige how much she means to him. Seriously one of the swoon-worthiest things I’ve seen in a long time!!
