Fixer Upper: A steamy age-gap, second chance romantic comedy

Cupid's Fall #5

by Beth C. Greenberg

Thea Delaney is starting over after divorce - new home, new life. All is well until her bathtub falls through the dining room ceiling and she needs to hire a handyman. Henry Cooper is coming off a bad breakup and just trying to earn a decent living. Can he help it if he's a cougar magnet?

When Henry accidentally discovers Thea's secret fantasy, he cannot stop thinking about the shy, sweet divorcee who cannot hide her crush on the hot, young handyman. Attraction builds, but Thea is unable to trust her feelings. Can Henry help Thea overcome her insecurities and give their romance a chance before they part ways at the end of the project?

About the author

Believe it or not, my professional career began in a pinstripe suit and practical pumps - yep, I was a CPA before a midlife awakening sent me down the creative writing rabbit hole. First experimenting with fanfiction, I discovered a love for bending canon, which I've gleefully applied to the already-quirky cast of characters from ancient mythology. First Quiver is my debut novel and book one of the 4-book Cupid's Fall series.

This was exactly what I needed to read after some of the crazy emotional books I’ve read lately. This was so lighthearted but with a little steamy edge to it. I enjoyed shy Thea and outgoing Henry together- he was just what she needed… and vice versa. I’ve read age gaps with older men, but this was the first older woman book and it was done perfectly. Give this book a go if you are looking for a quick little feel good romance story that makes you smile!

Looking for a fun summer read?

Beth C. Greenberg has got you covered with Fixer Upper! Beth’s stories always bring a smile to my face and this one was no exception.

The interaction between Thea and Henry is sweet, sexy and totally organic.

While this second chance romance is a novella length story, the pacing is perfect and it comes to a happy conclusion.

I loved it!

Such a cute, quick read that the author has expertly ensured still includes the right amount of anticipation and spice. I found Thea to be relatable and I loved reading about her journey 😍

Henry the Handyman was a fully developed character with nuance... Thea, however was just a ball of neurosis that was not completely fleshed out. It's a quick read but character building is lacking and the actual building process was not detailed enough.
