DARE TO COMPARE
Two slow burn romances about childhood crushes turned into adult romances, all while fixing up a house? Two different stories.
I am one of those people that actually really enjoyed 99 Percent Mine and while recently reading Fix Her Up I kept finding little connections between the plot lines of these two books.
From the tenacious female lead that is seen as a “joke”, to the kind hearted males that start to see them differently. Both of the male leads are the brother’s best friend, making the female leads the annoying younger sisters not taken seriously.
They are both reunited after years spent apart growing into their own, and are forced into a situation where they are repairing a home, or working on themselves.
I love this romance theme of childhood crush reuniting as adults, and the fixing up a house setting, it obviously reflects the characters building up their connection together and resolving past situations.
Did anyone else find these two stories similar?
The Romance Reader 
Just discovered your blog – we have such similar tastes in books! I read both Fix Her Up and 99 Percent Mine because I was looking for something similar to The Hating Game (LOVE that book). You’re completely right, there are a lot of similarities between the two. However, I thought Fix Her Up was more FUN and STEAMY. I wasn’t a fan of 99 Percent Mine to be honest. I expected it to be more exciting because The Hating Game was SO ENTERTAINING. Have you read The Unhoneymooners by Christina Lauren? That one is very similar to The Hating Game – it’s one of my favorites! I talk about it in my latest post “25 books similar to The Hating Game” if you’re interested: http://marichevy.com/books-like-the-hating-game. Anyway, I think you’ve read a lot of the books on my list already! Do you have a Twitter where I could follow you by the way?
