There were many pages of this book that I skipped over because of inanely annoying details that I did not find relevent to the story. I ran hot and cold with the character Khela. I could not understand why a grown, intelligent and independent woman was ducking and hiding behind fixed objects from a man she was attracted to. Khela's weird behavior showed a lack of confidence within her self that was magnified ten fold by the stammering and breaking out in hives. Her ability to maintain a stoic assuredness in her professional life, was her only saving grace. Nothing about her jumped off the pages for me...she was just, blah.
Carter didn't fair much better. Besides purchasing that "cake" she made, he was a huge disappointment. His childishly immature behavior of running away instead of talking to Khela about his feelings, reminded me of an adolescent that picks up their toys and runs home. His behavior was not explained enough for me to accept and want him to get back together ... Read More

Khela Halliday is a romance writer that doesn't believe in happily ever after. Khela has been burned by love a few times, so now she is doubting the validity of what she does. She can write about love, but she doesn't believe in it. Carter Radcliff has had to deal with being gorgeous his whole life, and being used because of it. He just wants someone to look past his outer beauty and to the person he is inside. For three years, Carter has been fixing things in Khela's apartment. When he gets a request from Khela to come to her apartment with his toolbox and a tux, Carter is a little confused. Khela needs a date for an awards weekend she has to attend, and Carter just happens to be drop dead gorgeous. Even though she thinks he is a handyman, Carter and his good looks will serve the purpose she needs with no strings attached. Right?
Mr. Fix-It is a great book by Crystal Hubbard. Hubbard does a wonderful job with the characters in this book. The characters were developed perfectly for ... Read More

I have to say that Blame It On Paradise is my favorite book by this author but Mr.Fix-It was good too.
What I liked: Khela's experiences as an author when she's interacting with other writers and overexuberant fans, the chapter headings (I wish I could read some of Khela's books!), Carter's sense of humor, the depiction of Boston, the book signing to raise money for the child soldiers in Africa, the Aphrodite party, and the way Carter found a way to be a "hero" for Khela. I really liked the scene where Khela is browsing in the grocery store and things like the the seal on a bottle catch her eye and inspire her to a story idea. I also really liked the love scene in Carter's apartment.
What I didn't like: Khela's best friend Daphne was hard to take sometimes. I didn't like how Carter used fighting to deal with his emotions even though I know a lot of men either close down or get belligerent when facing tough emotions. I just didn't like it on Carter. I wish Carter had heeded ... Read More

I WALKED BY THIS BOOK SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE I DECIDED TO BUY IT, AND NOW I WISHED I HAD KEPT WALKING. THIS IS THE FIRST BOOK I'VE READ BY CRYSTAL HUBBARD AND IT LEFT ME DISAPPOINTED. THIS BOOK JUST DID NOT HOLD MY INTEREST AT ALL, BUT BEING THE TYPE OF READER THAT I AM, THIS WON'T STOP ME FROM BUYING ANOTHER ONE OF HER BOOKS. I BELIEVE IN SECOND CHANCES OR MAYBE EVEN THIRD.

Mr. Fix-It is something a little different from Crystal Hubbard, the author of Crush and Blame It On Paradise, two of the best IR romances I've ever read. The story is centralized on bestselling romance author Khela Halliday, and Carter Radcliffe, the maintenance man of her building. Khela is happy if not lonely working in her loft office in the apartment of her Boston Back Bay brownstone. She is surrounded by luxury items purchased by her ex-husband, a man she divorced once it became clear that he married her for her money. Khela's mother died of a drug overdose and her father is incarcerated, and her elderly adoptive parents are deceased, so Khela's sole source of friendship and support is her best friend Daphne. Daphne is a freelance editor and aspiring writer who harbors a tiny shred of jealousy over Khela's early writing success.
Carter is the sort of hero who is more than he seems. Alabama born and reared, Carter moved to Boston when he was recruited to play football for a private ... Read More
