Fixing Hearts
One is a grease-streaked heartbreaker. The other is a buttoned-up romantic. Neither of them saw this coming.
Jo Fuller likes her life fixing cars by day, charming women by night, and never getting too close. Her Portland garage is her pride, her independence is sacred, and love? That’s just a fantasy people read about.
Evelyn Barkley is one of those people.
A research assistant with a serious career plan and a secret love of steamy romance novels, Evelyn’s life runs on logic and order until a Friday night out turns into a slow dance she can’t forget.
Can a woman who doesn’t believe in forever fall for one who’s never taken a risk on love?
Fixing Hearts is a butch/femme lesbian romance full of heat, heart, and second chances.

Quick Read Filled With a Lot
This is a great KC Luck quick read that's filled with a lot of big emotional umpf and love. Well written, well developed, and kept me smiling throughout. There are bumps in the road but at least the angst is low. And there's enough simmering love to keep the flame lit.

Good Book!
I really enjoyed this story between a really talented auto mechanic and an environmental researcher. The auto mechanic and restorer of antique cars was a bar fly most Friday nights- love ‘em and leave ‘em type, until a shy researcher came to the bar one Friday night- and the rest is herstory.

Can they heal together?
Jo and Evelyn are interesting characters and their love story is fascinating. KC has done a good with this one. The story flows well and it's an easy read. If you like a strong butch and a beautiful femme, this is a story for you! I enjoyed this book and can't wait to see what KC will give us next.

KC Luck has written an extremely good story about finding that special someone. Jo and Evelyn made a great butch/femme couple. I enjoyed reading about their relationship.

I lost interest in the book. The characters were so melodramatic about nothing that I simply couldn’t continue. The conflict was so forced that it was laughable. I loved butch and fem dynamic though. I would only read this book again for the cars.

A wonderful read. Both MC's are adorable and the angst is low but has several twists. A few fiery sex scenes with a seasoned butch gently introducing the wonders of women loving women intimacy to a delayed coming to terms with her sexuality character.

it was good, just a little long for me.

As much as I loved Evelyn and Jo and as fun as it was to read about how they met, their hesitation, their undeniable chemistry, I wanted more. It felt like I was just reading the surface layer of their relationship, like everything related to their relationship was too easy. Even the conflict that they dealt with felt too forced; if they had a simple conversation, it would've just been a little blip. Don't get me wrong - at the core of it all, it's a wonderful romance and we need more books that showcase characters taking chances on themselves.
