One office. Two enemies. And a secret he CANNOT find out… You know that post vacation glow? Where you’re all sun kissed and optimistic and determined to make changes in your life? Well, mine lasted for about five minutes. Until I walked into the office and saw Myles Salinger sitting in my boss’s chair. One look at his scowling face was enough to make me want to fly straight back to Europe. And no, he’s not getting any of the donuts I brought it for the team. He doesn’t deserve them. You see, on paper he’s my contemporary. But in reality he’s been my workplace nemesis for the last two years. Lucky for us we’re usually separated by five hundred miles. But now he’s here in my face, throwing his impressive weight around and driving everybody crazy with his demands. Especially me. Good thing he doesn’t know the big decision I made while I was away. That I’m going to try for a baby. Alone. If he ever finds out he’ll never let me hear the end of it. So let’s keep it between us. Okay? Strictly Business is a steamy enemies-to-lovers romance. Expect some hot scenes, a little cussing and two characters whose heads you’d love to bang together…

Secrets have a way of coming out… Amy Cartwright isn't sure who she's supposed to be anymore.

Fighting against the inevitable, they both try to ignore the attraction, but the flame of desire is too bright.

From London to New York, from 1999 to 2012, Fix You follows the story of quirky, music-loving Hanna and handsome, driven Richard as they fall in love and are torn apart. Their tempestuous relationship leads to an explosive revelation that threatens to destroy them both. Emotional and touching, this is a story of second chances. Is their love shattered beyond repair?ReviewWow. Wow wowie wow wow. This book was freaking fantastic! I picked it up thinking it was going to be along the lines of "One Day," and it kind of was, but SO much better! I loved reading Richard and Hanna's story, and I even fell in love with Tom, Ruby, and Matty along the way. This book was extremely well written, and I could NOT put it down! A++++++++ -  Ashleigh, ChiquitabloggerAs well as being an extremely well written story, with truly likeable and believable characters in it, I loved the way that actual events that have taken place since the two main characters first met have been interwoven into the story. This is first and foremost a romance, with some rather hot scenes in it and does feature a HEA but it is also just so much more and it's also a standalone. Congratulations Carrie Elks for creating such a wonderful book. - Tina, Netgalley ARC reviewerCarrie Elks has done what a lot of authors struggle to do in that she has put a simple story down on paper, but made it unusual in the fact that it is engrossing, emotive, easy to relate too (even though my life is and has never been remotely like the characters), it's a total win for me on every level. As a Brit, being set mainly in the UK and the US adds to the appeal, there isn't anything in Fix You that I didn't like. - Claire, Netgalley ARC reviewerEngaging writing, realistic characters, a believable storyline and no insta-love. Fix You is a love story about overcoming hardships and facing the consequences of your mistakes; a love story that will touch your heart and stay with you forever.
