Send us Fan Mail This week on The Book Fix, we’re firing up the ovens for another Bake Fix challenge—turning the book cover into a cake. While we attempt to recreate the swoony cover of The Simple Wild (and hopefully not flambé the kitchen), we’re diving into the chaotic, romantic road-trip story inside the book. After a spectacular culinary meltdown, chef Rita Clarkson is already questioning her life choices when she ends up stranded in the middle of nowhere, New Mexico with her three estranged siblings and a broken car. Enter Jasper Ellis: a dangerously charming biker with a reputation he’d rather escape. What starts as a rescue quickly turns into undeniable chemistry as Rita and Jasper are thrown together for a few intense days. But with Rita’s life elsewhere and Jasper tied to the town that misunderstands him, they have limited time to figure out whether their connection is just a spark—or something worth rewriting their futures for. Join us as we break down the tropes, the tension, and the small-town swoon factor while we attempt to bake the cover into cake form. Will our decorating skills rise to the occasion, or will this Bake Fix end in total frosting chaos? Either way, there will be romance, crumbs, and questionable baking decisions. 🍰📚 Support the show Our Linktree: https://linktr.ee/thebookfix?utm_source=linktree_admin_share become our Patron ♡ https://www.patreon.com/BookFix buy us a book ♡ https://www.buymeacoffee.com/thebookfix Business Inquiries: [email protected] follow us on Tiktok! ♡  https://www.tiktok.com/@thebookfix

Send us Fan Mail On this episode of The Book Fix, we’re diving into the cozy fantasy that took the internet by storm: Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree. The story follows Viv, a battle-weary orc mercenary who decides she’s done with swords, bounties, and bloodshed. Instead of chasing monsters, she wants something radical: a peaceful life running the first coffee shop in the city of Thune. The only problem? No one in town even knows what coffee is. As Viv tries to turn roasted beans into a thriving business, she faces skeptical locals, lingering enemies from her violent past, and the chaos of building something completely new. Along the way she gathers an unexpected crew of friends who help transform a risky dream into a warm community built on pastries, fresh brews, and second chances. Meanwhile, in true Book Fix fashion, we’re temporarily rebranding ourselves as The Bake Fix and attempting to recreate the Legends & Lattes cover… as a cake. Expect questionable decorating choices, frosting disasters, and a lot of discussion about whether we’d survive running a fantasy coffee shop (spoiler: probably not). It’s cozy vibes, found family, and pastry-powered entrepreneurship—plus our chaotic baking attempt.

Send us Fan Mail This week on The Book Fix, we’re reviewing Muscles & Monsters by Ashley Bennett, a cozy monster romance that combines gym culture, supernatural creatures, and a very sweet love story. The book follows Tegan, a cake decorator whose day goes completely off the rails when a wedding cake disaster leaves her scrambling—until she’s helped by Atlas, a massive wolven who works at Leviathan Fitness. After their chaotic first meeting, Atlas invites Tegan to the gym anytime she needs help lifting her cakes. Instead, Tegan decides she wants to lift them herself and signs up for a membership to build her strength. As the two spend more time together at the gym, their friendship quickly turns into attraction. Between workouts, flirtation, and some very primal monster instincts, Tegan and Atlas begin exploring what a relationship between a human and a monster could really look like. But this episode also marks the debut of a brand new segment: The Bake Fix. Inspired by Tegan’s cake decorating skills, we attempted to bake a cake that looks exactly like the cover of the book… and honestly, the resemblance is uncanny. Join us as we talk monster romance, gym monsters, and reveal our Bake Fix creation. 🍰💪🐺 Support the show Our Linktree: https://linktr.ee/thebookfix?utm_source=linktree_admin_share become our Patron ♡ https://www.patreon.com/BookFix buy us a book ♡ https://www.buymeacoffee.com/thebookfix Business Inquiries: [email protected] follow us on Tiktok! ♡  https://www.tiktok.com/@thebookfix

When his enemy’s daughter accidentally frees the Ever, Erik seizes the opportunity by using her as a pawn in his brutal plan. She’s innocent. He’s dangerous.

Send us Fan Mail This week on The Book Fix, Yajaira and Cheli are diving headfirst into Blackthorn by J.T. Geissinger which is a gothic, enemies-to-lovers romance dripping with revenge, secrets, and a STRONG “touch her and die” energy.

What starts as unresolved tension quickly spirals into obsession, betrayal, and twist after twist that refuses to let you breathe. We’re talking shady heroes, grumpy-on-grumpy chaos, forbidden attraction, dark magic vibes, and a romance that keeps flipping the script. Is this love? Is it vengeance? Is it both? And most importantly… did this book fix our lives or absolutely wreck us?!
