REVIEW ➞ New Year’s Renovations by Kara Kendrick

BLURB ➞

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 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.

NEW YEAR’S RENOVATIONS is a standalone, small-town steamy romance novella destined to give you all the feels!


This was the Year of Me and the last thing I needed was a romantic fling with a city girl.


ARC REVIEW ➞

New Year’s Renovation is a fun novella. Harper is newly single and found out she inherited an estate from an aunt she never met in a town she has never heard of. Jackson left his professional hockey career to move to Starlight Bay when his mom got sick, now he is running the family construction company with his brother.

Harper and Jackson had an instant connection and I loved it. He was hired to renovate the home she inherited and now they are working together. There were plenty of times I was laughing, I was swoony and just smiling.

If HGTV and Hallmark were to ever create a home reno show New Year’s Renovation would be it! If you’re looking for a quick, fun read this is one to check out!
