After getting stood up at her spontaneous, almost Las Vegas wedding, Millie Pruitt has given up on love. After all, men never seem to show up when they were supposed to. Just when she thinks she has everything together, she rear-ends a parked car in front of the building where she works. When Joseph, a mysterious and handsome man, emerges, she can't help but feel drawn to him — especially when he keeps showing up to rescue her.
Billionaire, Joseph Maxwell is trying to atone for his mistakes that he made before his daughter passed away. Leaving behind his privileged life, he changes out silk sheets for dingy motel rooms — all in search of redemption by paying off stranger’s medical bills. When he gets rear-ended by Millie, a sweet and open nurse, he finds himself wanting the very thing he’d convinced himself he didn’t deserve. Happiness.
Fate intervenes and Millie and Joseph find themselves thrown together. When feelings arise and Joseph retreats, they must decide if they can forgive themselves long enough to find true love.

When she's not running after her kids, she's dreaming up romantic stories. She loves to take her favorite moments in the books and movies she loves and tries to figure out a way to make them new and fresh.
The cover shows a handsome dark-haired man. Yet, just a few pages in I find the hero “was running his hands through his thick blond hair.” I had to grin. However, as I continued reading I began wondering why reviewers by a great majority were awarding five stars. The storyline was dragging and repetitive. It seemed to take forever to uncover exactly why Joseph was so down on himself. Editorial errors were sprinkled abundantly through the pages and I was tempted to abort the read. How glad I am that I didn’t. Ms. Meyer began reaching her stride about halfway through and the final chapters were nothing short of phenomenal. The plodding beginning ended in a full gallop that pulled me in and tugged at my heart-strings. To continue the equestrian theme found in the story, this is an offering that came from behind and won the race by a nose.
In this touching story there is so much one can identify with, especially the lost cause of missed opportunities. Joseph is heartbroken when he finally comes to the realisation that he missed out on precious time with his dying daughter but is going about the business of making amends the wrong way. . After Millie rear-ends him in a parking lot, he is aghast because he can hardly believe that anyone could hit a stationary car. Millie is suffering from the after-effects of having been jilted on the way to the altar, and her concentration isn't what it should be. The attraction between Joseph and Millie is immediately, but both of them know that pursuing their feelings is only going to lead to broken hearts. Nevertheless, Joseph finds himself becoming involved with Millie patients in the hospital and through them he finds an outlet for his grief. When the self-centered fiance shows up on Millie's doorstep, she is conflicted and has to make a choice whether to allow him to walk all over her again or to point her life in a new direction. There were a few small typos in in the book, which didn't detract from the story, but otherwise it is well written, clean and opens one's eyes to the realisation that beating ourselves up over past mistakes cannot change the situation, but only makes us miserable. I received a copy of this book as a gift and this is my honest and voluntary review.
Millie and Jospeh are likeable, believeable characters with heartwrenching tales of woe as their backstories. All you want to do is fix both of them so the title is apt for the tale.
There's lots to love about the story and the charaters big and small as well as the setting. The villain is Millie's ex, but even by the end you hope he makes some changes and finds someone to have HEA with. I like Millie's roomy. She's a trip.
This is the 5th book by Anne-Marie I have read and it's my least favorite of her series of clean billionaire romance books. I still enjoyed it but I didn't connect with the characters as much as I have in previous books. Unfortunately, parts of it just didn't feel believable to me and that kept me from loving it. That sounds harsher than it should as it's still a good book that I don't regret reading. I recommend you start with some of the other Clean Billionaire Romances by Anne-Marie before picking up this one.
How does a parent recover from losing a child? Joseph Maxwell is broken after losing his daughter Justine and is traveling around the country trying to help others who are going through the same thing. Millie accidentally runs into him and in the process drags him into the children's oncology ward of the hospital. Joseph is roped into volunteering there. Will he be able to forgive himself over failing his daughter and allow himself to be happy again? Some parts of this story are sweet, some very frustrating and others completely unbelievable. I loved the characters in this story especially Anna May and Bo.
A great way to end this series. Millie is a nurse in pediatric oncology. When I read that I was worried it would be really depressing, but she did a great job handling the subject. She didn't say away from the hard stuff, but she didn't dwell on it either. Joseph is a billionaire trying to hide from and fix what he can of his past. He doesn't believe he is worthy of love and fights it. Millie and Joseph are great people who put others first. Will they allow themselves to be loved and to love in return?
Joseph is a billionaire who is running from his past. He tries to make things better for people. Millie runs into him with her car. She is a nurse on a children's cancer unit. He gets roped into helping out on the floor. Fast has brought them together. The emotions both of them go through in this book are a lot of ups and downs. Charlotte is one of the patients that he entertains and helps. It is sad but so wonderful. Love the characters in this book.
Millie & Joseph meet by accident...literally. Things are set in motion that effect everyone in Millie's world. There are several comments made in the story that are life lessons learned by experience. Bo, Grayson, Joseph, Millie, Anna-May & George each have fate play a role in their story. Anna-Marie brings the lives of these people together in such a way that you are rooting for each to have their "happy ending".
Fixing the Billionaire (A Clean Billionaire Romance book 5)
This book took a long time to get going. It was slow and repetitious sometimes both people saying a similar thing but the same in the end. Saying that once I got into the book more I realised that we don’t often hear of the guy suffering after the loss of a loved one and going a little doo lolly in the process. The story was clean and had a terrific ending.
I absolutely got so lost reading this book that I couldn't believe when the last page came. I loved everything about this book but I especially loved the characters. This book was well written, the editing had a few problems, but the story was one of the best I've read in a very long time. Highly recommended.
This was a sweet romance. It wasn't my favorite of the series. But it was a good book. There just didn't seem to be much chemistry between the characters. I like to have a little more in the story than just the romance and this one felt like it was missing that little bit more. But if you are looking for a good, clean, romance to wile away an hour or so, them this is the book for you!!
Accident prone when off-duty , nurse for children with cancer, disastrous love life, Millie crashes into Joseph in the parking lot. Circumstances occur to keep them in proximity. Joseph is working on helping people, because he "failed" his own daughter and considers himself a bad person. Actions always speak louder than words.
This is an excellent example of second chance and true forgiveness of oneself to be able to find your destiny or soulmate maybe both this is a charming powerful story of love and understanding it's definitely a must read with a bunch of unforgettable adorable characters too.
Joseph is broken man that has built a wall around him he has lost hope and believes that he doesn’t deserve happiness, a series of events leads him in a different path and he starts to feel. A story about what can happen when you turn away from God and believe in the lies of Saturn even though this is not a Christian book.
Well written with great character development. This story is not rushed. It moves smoothly as the characters develop and learn from their experiences. This is an entertaining, clean romance. A couple scenes are a bit unreal but don't detract from the story.
This one too me a little while to get into the book but it was a good one nonetheless. I enjoyed reading Millie and Joseph's story and getting to know their characters and struggles. Cute sweet story.
I loved the characters and how things just worked out! I totally cried several times. I was so tired of him blaming himself, although I loved the nice things he did! Hurray for pen pals!
Another wonderful story. Millie was so caring and kind. Joseph was so broken. They needed each other. I liked the way you threw Grayson into the mix. Great series.
A man who is in pain from losing his child to cancer travels the south helping others with his money. He meets someone who touches his life, but thinks he is not worthy. I loved the HEA ending.
This was a great story. It was well written and the characters were great. You felt like you could put yourself in there shoes. It was very sad,but with a happy ending.Great book.
I loved, loved , loved this book. It was written with sensitivity and compassion. Childhood cancer is a subject close to my heart so I really appreciated the way this was written. The parents of children who have or had cancer often feel guilty and that they didn’t do enough. Well done💞💕😄
what a refreshing clean book. It was written with warmth and humor. Loved reading how employees of a children's cancer wing loved their patients and worked hard to give them love and as normal environment as possible. I enjoyed Author Anne-Marie Meyer.
I loved this book even though I cried a lot. I understand all about cancer as I have 3 family members with cancer. This lovely story is so heart warming and mostly full of love and hope. Enjoy.
This unbelievably heartfelt story of finding redemption and love was filled with faith and trust in the love between two people. The characters were charming and sweet, I know that everyone can definitely enjoy this amazing story!
This book is amazing! It is sweet, has some humor with a dash of romance. Most of all it speaks of the human nature in all of us. Be sure to have Kleenex close by.
At first I wasn't going to finish this book but I keep on reading and the more I like it .It was a little sad and I did cry a little bit . I really enjoyed the story.
