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.

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.

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!

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.

When your year ends on a bad note the best way to get over is to find true love and a happy ending when you least expect it. A good read that will satisfy your romance book needs.

I loved reading New Year’s Renovations: Man of the Month Club - January (Starlight Bay Book 1)!!! All about Harper Fitzpatrick a broadcast professional in her late-twenties & Jackson Montgomery who is 30 years old an ex hockey star who owns his family’s Construction company. So far New Year has not been to bad, because last year sucked for both main characters!!! Read about Harper & Jackson and the wild adventure of renovations!!! It’s definitely a page turner, with lots of laughs and a few moans with toes curling along the way!!! I can’t wait to read book 3!!!!

Harper and Jackson are perfect for each other. Harper was let go of her news anchor job by her ex boyfriend producer. She inherits a rundown house and when she goes to city hall she runs into Jackson. They hit it off and plus he's a contractor so he does the renovations on the house. Of course things get complicated. Then of course things get straightened out and this book makes you end up smiling and waiting for the next Man of the Month club book. Can't wait!! Very fun read and highly recommended!!!

I love Man of the Month reads because they are short sweet reads. They are my palette cleanser. This one was really sweet. Takes place in Cape Cod so it brought me back to my home state. I loved that it’s a small town. I love all the local shops elements Kara added including Market Basket. If you are looking for a short heartwarming story read this novella.
