Publisher Description
Juliet Montgomery absolutely loves her small town of Blossom Glen, Indiana, and everyone loves her. Except for the fact that she’s a couples counselor who suffered a very public breakup that no one can forget. And now her boss asks her to take a step back…which is exactly when the town’s good-lookin’ and unusually gruff mayor offers her an unexpected job.
Jack Monroe absolutely loves being the mayor of his small town. Except when he actually has to talk to people. Can’t he just fix the community problems in peace? Like right now, he’s mediating the silliest dispute two neighbors could possibly have. When the town sweetheart steps up and solves everyone’s problems in five minutes flat, Jack realizes what this town really needs…is a therapist.
Juliet is able to soothe anyone—other than the surly mayor, it seems. But there’s a reason they say opposites attract, because all of their verbal sparring leads to some serious attraction. Only, just like with fireworks, the view might appear beautiful—but she’s already had one public explosion that’s nearly ruined everything…how can she risk her heart again?
Each book in the Blossom Glen series is STANDALONE:
* The Sweetheart Deal
* The Sweetheart Fix
* The Sweetheart Crush
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Two people overcome past heartbreaks in Liasson's fast-paced second Blossom Glen novel (after The Sweetheart Deal). After a decade of working odd jobs, Blossom Glen, Ind., native Juliet Montgomery has finally earned her graduate degree, enabling her to embark on her dream job of being a marriage and family therapist. Her career goals are derailed, however, by both the small-town gossip about her "two and a half" broken engagements and her own baggage around relationships. On a forced hiatus from counseling couples, she takes a part time position working as a mediator for the attractive town mayor, Jack Monroe, who lacks both the patience and the people skills to put up with his constituents' constant petty bickering. Juliet is enchanted by Jack's unexpected kindness, especially toward the plucky grandmother who raised him. But Jack has commitment issues of his own, and to be together they both must be prepared to risk their hearts. The sensitive, emotional characters capably carry the swiftly moving plot while witty banter keeps things light and sweet. The allure of new love and cozy small-town living is sure to draw in readers.

Charming Romance
Four and a Half Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭒
The Sweetheart Fix by Miranda Liasson is the second book in her popular Blossom Glen series, but can easily be read as a stand-alone book. I loved this small town, opposites attract story very much.
Story Recap:
Juliet Montgomery is a small-town couples therapist but after a very public breakup that hurts her credibility as a couples therapist.
Jack Monroe is the Mayor of Blossom Glen, and he loves his town and his job, except for the many petty disputes between neighbors. When Juliet accidentally finds herself in a city meeting, she helps to solve a dispute between bickering neighbors and Jack decides to hire her as a city therapist and help him with what he feels is the worst part of his job.
When Jack and Juliet start working together, they each find a new appreciation for their careers and each other.
My Thoughts:
I enjoyed returning to Blossom Glen for this new story. Jack and Juliet are both sympathetic and interesting characters, and completely different. Jack doesn’t like to talk to people, especially people who can’t get along, and Juliet is a social butterfly and loves to talk to people.
Blossom Glen is an adorable small town that I would like to live in. Jack is the kind of mayor I would want for my town, as he cares so much for his hometown. And Juliet is the kind of therapist I would enjoy.
The author does a wonderful job of putting both Jack and Juliet in interesting and sometimes embarrassing situations that add some comic relief to this sweet romance.
Recommendation:
I highly recommend The Sweetheart Fix to anyone who enjoys a sweet romance. I received a complimentary copy of this book. The opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
Another sweet story!
A sweet slow building romance of Jack, the mayor of Blossom Glen with his Texan cowboy roots and Juliet the town’s sweetheart. Both have lots a baggage, Jack is afraid of love and showing emotions due to his parents abandonment. Even though he was raised by his loving grandmother he hasn’t gotten over the pain of his mother just leaving him. Trying to save the woman who raised him her beloved land adds more stress to Jack’s life.
Juliet has her own issues and trying to help her brother in law’s best friend is a challenge. Also having two broken engagements isn’t helping her with her dream job of a couples counselor. A town that doesn’t forget the embarrassing mishaps of your youth. Discovering who you really are and how to get what you want from life are goals Juliet is working on throughout the story. And if love happens?????
This is book 2 of the series and glad that the characters from the previous book are included. I would suggest to read the 1st book, was nice continuation of Tess and Leo story.
Thank you NetGalley for this eARC. I am voluntarily posting an honest review after reading an Advance Reader Copy of this story. #NetGalley #TheSweetheartFix
