Book Description

Their biggest project isn’t the building—it’s each other.

Joy Holiday traded small-town life for a fast-paced city career a lifetime ago. She never intended to return to the dusty mining town her estranged mother called home. But when she inherits her mom’s crumbling building, she’s forced to confront the past she thought she’d left behind. The dilapidated structure symbolizes memories Joy would rather bury, and she plans to demolish it and move on for good—so she hires the guy with the best reputation in town.

Charlie Hunnicutt is a hometown boy who has spent years painstakingly restoring each historic building brick by brick. Unbeknownst to Joy, the town’s passionate preservationist sees nothing but potential in the old structure. It’s a treasure, a piece of the town’s soul worth saving. So when Joy, with demolition on her mind, sweeps into town in her sleek BMW, it’s all Charlie can do to keep his cool.

What should be a straightforward business transaction quickly turns into a battle of wills as the two butt heads at every turn. But while they clash over the building’s fate, an undeniable attraction begins to grow between them.

As their connection deepens, Joy and Charlie are forced to face their conflicting visions and decide whether love can bridge the gap between their worlds. Where history clashes with the future, love might just be the blueprint.

My Thoughts

The Fixer by G.K. Brady—brought to life through an engaging duet narration by Victoria Connolly and Ryan Lee Dunlap—is a warm, witty, and deeply satisfying small-town romance that brilliantly blends forced proximity, enemies-to-lovers tension, and a heartfelt journey of self-discovery.

The story follows Joy Holiday, a sharp, fast-paced city girl who traded small-town life behind long ago and never intended to return to the dusty mining town her estranged mother called home. But when she inherits her late mother’s crumbling building and storefront, she is forced to confront the painful past she tried to bury. Eager to demolish the dilapidated structure and get back to her city life as quickly as possible, Joy hires the contractor with the best reputation in Fall River, expecting a straightforward business transaction.

Enter Charlie Hunnicutt, a laid-back hometown boy and passionate preservationist who has spent years painstakingly restoring historic buildings brick by brick. Unbeknownst to Joy, Charlie sees nothing but potential in her mother's old shop, viewing it as a piece of the town's soul worth saving. When Joy sweeps into town in her sleek BMW ready to tear it down, they butt heads immediately, sparking a battle of wills, sharp banter, and intense friction.

As they navigate protective zoning laws, external threats from shady characters trying to undermine Charlie's work, and their own conflicting visions, an undeniable attraction begins to bloom. Beneath Joy's prickly, diva-like exterior lies a vulnerable woman dealing with heavy emotional baggage, while Charlie carries scars from his own past. Through the warmth and kindness of Fall River's tight-knit community—and sweet moments that reveal Joy's softer side, especially her affection for animals—the ice around her heart slowly thaws.

Anchored by Victoria Connolly and Ryan Lee Dunlap’s exceptional duet narration, which brings depth, humor, and wonderful emotional resonance to the audiobook, The Fixer is a delightful opposites-attract romance. It is a heartwarming testament to the power of forgiveness, community, and discovering that sometimes the things we try hardest to tear down are the exact foundations we need to build a future.
