Description
From USA TODAY bestselling author Sheila Roberts comes an empowering story filled with hearth and humor about three women who band together to take back their houses and their lives.
Stefanie Stahl has a husband with renovation ADD. He can't seem to finish anything he starts, and her house is littered with his "projects." If he doesn't smarten up, she swears she's going to murder him and bury him under the pile of scrounged lumber in the backyard.
Her friend Griffin James is suddenly single and thinking maybe she needs to sell her fixer-upper and follow her career bliss up the ladder of success, even if that scary ladder is clear across the country. But getting her place ready to sell proves harder than she originally thought. She needs help.
She's not the only one. Cass Wilkes, their neighbor, has an empty nest—with a leaking roof. When her ceiling crashes in, she knows it's time to do something. When Grant Masters offers his handyman services at a fund-raiser auction, the three women go in together to outbid the competition and win their man. (Cass's friends think she should win Grant in a different way, too!) Now it's time to make some improvements...in their houses and their lives.

Bakery owner Cass Wilkes has an empty house and a hole in her roof; Stefanie Stahl has a husband who starts and doesn't finish projects; and food blogger and photographer Griffin James needs her house spruced up so she can sell it. What they all need is a handyman, so when widower and George Clooney look-alike Grant Masters, owner of Honey Do, puts his services up for auction at the annual Raise the Roof fundraiser, the three friends agree to pool their resources and end up winning the bid--and more. Amid repairs, romance blossoms, with sometimes unexpected but eventually satisfying results. VERDICT With her typical flair, Roberts has penned a down-to-earth, grin-inducing, and sensitive tale that is more women's fiction than romance, but it will appeal to fans of small-town series. Roberts (Home on Apple Blossom Road) lives in the Pacific Northwest.
