New Year's Renovations: Man of the Month Club - January Kindle Edition

Harper: My year is off to a terrible start. Fired from my job and dumped by my boss-boyfriend at the same time (lesson learned the hard way, don’t even start), I’m forced to adopt the ‘New Year, New You’ mantra whether I want to or not. The only silver lining is a rundown old house my estranged aunt left to me in Starlight Bay, Massachusetts.That is, until I run head-on—literally—into Jackson Montgomery, local hometown superstar and the best contractor in town. He offers to help with renovations so I can rent it as a side hustle once I find a job and move back to Boston. Unfortunately, he does not offer to date me, which is a crying shame because he’s exactly what I didn’t know I was looking for.

Jackson: I’ve never made a New Year’s resolution until this year. Why? Because I think they’re stupid and 99.9% of people break them within six weeks. But after my girlfriend cheated on me with my (ex-) best friend, I knew I had to do it. Give up dating for at least a year, but maybe the rest of adulthood.What I hadn’t counted on was meeting Harper, a perky city girl just begging to be kissed. Fixing up her late aunt’s house was proving to be a bigger job than I could handle in the feelings department and I didn’t like it one little bit. I just needed to get her fixer-upper fixed so she could get out of Starlight Bay before something happened I couldn’t repair with a hammer and some nails.

Kara Kendrick writes fun and flirty steamy small-town romance destined to give you all the feels. A reformed English major, she also has a master’s in counseling and was an elementary school counselor in her pre-mom life.

She loves the beach, wine, and rock hard abs, not necessarily in that order. When she’s not dreaming up Happily Ever After’s, you can find her chasing after her boy-girl twins, working out semi-hardish, or walking her adorable Shiba pups with her husband, who’s not too bad himself.

5.0 out of 5 stars Out With The Old...
Reviewed in Australia on 31 December 2020
Sometimes, life is just like a home renovation:
Out with the old, in with the new.
And that’s exactly the way Harper’s life is going, ending her year with a fizzle!
But then there’s the actual renovation project, which starts her New Year off with a bit of a sizzle, also known in Starlight Bay as Jackson Montgomery.
All bets are off in this well written short, sweet and steamy read.

This is the first Kara Kendrick book I’ve read, and I’m very much looking forward to reading more from her.

I received an ARC copy of this book and am leaving my honest review.

I was excited when I heard that Kara Kendrick had a new series releasing and if this book is anything to go by, then she has a winning series on her hands. This book is everything I look for in a romance. The characters were easy to relate too and I quickly found myself invested in Harper and Jackson’s story.

Losing her job and her boyfriend at the same time, television personality Harper retreats to Starlight Bay, Massachusetts, after inheriting a house from her elderly relative. That’s where contractor Jackson comes in when she hires him to help her.

Neither are looking for love but fate has other plans for these two but there is an attraction that sizzles from the start.

This book ticked all the boxes for me. As you would expect from a story based in a small town, everyone is up in everyone’s business and that just added an additional layer to the story. The characters are quirky, and I cannot wait to read more in the series.

This is a nice book with a sweet story. Does not tack the brain to much in complete honesty. The two main characters were very sweet people. A sweet book to pass a couple of hours away. Hope we get logans story.

4.0 out of 5 stars Like a Hallmark movie, but with sexy bits!

Feel good romance! I thoroughly enjoyed New Year's Renovations by Kara Kendrick. The book blurb sets up the storyline for us so well. Harper, a TV personality looses her job and her boyfriend, a--hole Clark, all in one day. Then inherits property from an aunt she never knew. In a feel good, sexy sort of Hallmarkish way, Harper meets local renovation contractor, Jackson. And the sparks fly.

A short read with witty banter and hot sexy times, this is definitely a great read when you need a quick pick-me-up!

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved Harper and Jackson!

Harper lost her job and boyfriend all on the same day. Which Clark was a total pain! She got off lucky there.

While moping at her apartment she got a certified letter about an inheritance from a long lost relative. Harper goes to Starlight Bay and decides to fix up the house her great aunt left her. While at the town hall she literally runs into Jackson. He walks her into the building and office she needs and gives her a business card.

The story of Harper and Jackson is absolutely heartwarming. His back story is heartbreaking to say the least.

Great quick story with an HEA! You won't be disappointed.
