All Mixed Up

de Heidi Hutchinson (2023) SmartyPants Romance

Résumé : Nikki has a lot going on at the moment.

She’s the best sound engineer and mixer at XY Records, she’s working on a super-secret project with a pop megastar, and holding the busier-than-usual studio together.

The last thing she wants or needs is her ex-fiancé to start working in the studio over the summer. She’s over it—him. Obviously. Being ghosted has that effect. But working near someone she used to love has made her life that much more complicated.

Andre has it all figured out. Two and half years ago he had no idea what he was doing when he walked away from the love of his life. But time has given him perspective, and he’s grown up. Which is why the paleontology professor is working part-time at his ex’s recording studio. Because he wants to make amends. And maybe win her back.

Will Nikki give him the chance he thinks he’s ready for? Or will it be her turn to walk away from him?


Note : 5/5 ♥♥♥♥♥


Nikki et André se connaissent depuis plusieurs années, il y a 2 ans ils ont failli se fiancer et puis tout à capoté : André a paniqué et n'a plus donné de nouvelles à Nikki pendant tout ce temps. Aujourd'hui, il est recruté pour faire des rénovations dans le studio où travaille Nikki, ces deux-là vont avoir beaucoup de choses à se dire.

André sait qu'il a merdé il y a 2 ans, il a laissé l'influence toxique de son père réveiller ses anxiétés et a pensé qu'il ne méritait pas d'être avec Nikki, qu'il n'était pas assez bien pour elle. Avec assez de recul sur son comportement, il s'en veut grandement et n'a jamais arrêté de penser à Nikki. Ce coup du destin est pour lui l'occasion de lui montrer qu'il a changé et espère que Nikki l'acceptera à nouveau dans sa vie même juste en tant qu'amis.

Nikki n'a jamais eu le fin mot de l'histoire, pourquoi André s'est évaporé et lui a brisé le coeur, elle voudrait le détester mais en découvrant ce "nouveau" André, ses anciens sentiments refont surface. Il est évident qu'il n'est plus le même et qu'il est même mieux maintenant qu'avant... Et puis il y a ses paires de bretelles qu'elle veut absolument attraper et lui claquer sur le torse xD.

Ce roman est l'histoire d'une seconde chance, d'acceptation des erreurs du passé et de nouveau départ sur une base plus solide. Le couple est choupi-chou, et puis j'ai beaucoup aimé le meilleur ami de Nikki, Asa, j'espère qu'il aura un bouquin lui aussi ♥

Nikki and André have known each other for several years, 2 years ago they almost got engaged and then everything fell apart: André panicked and stopped all communication with Nikki during all this time. Today, he is recruited to renovate the studio where Nikki works, and these two will have a lot to talk about.

André knows he screwed up 2 years ago, he let his father's toxic influence awaken his anxieties and thought he didn't deserve to be with Nikki, that he wasn't good enough for her. With enough perspective on his behavior, he blames himself greatly and has never stopped thinking about Nikki. This new job is his opportunity to show her that he has changed and hopes that Nikki will accept him back into her life even just as friends.

Nikki never got the end of the story, why André vanished and broke her heart, she would like to hate him but meeting this "new" André, her old feelings resurface. It's obvious that he's no longer the same and that he's even better now than before... And then there are his suspenders that she absolutely wants to grab and slap on his chest xD.

This novel is the story of a second chance, of accepting past mistakes and starting afresh on a more solid foundation. The couple is so cute, and I really liked Nikki's best friend, Asa, I hope he has a book too ♥
