Talia Hibbert has delivered another delightful adventure with the Brown sisters. This time we get to see Evie try, fail, succeed, and have steamy good fun. If you’re looking for a fabulous diverse romance series (you should be) you should absolutely adventure with the Brown sisters!

A perfect ending to the Brown sisters’ story! Eve stumbles into a new job with a difficult boss but then sparks fly. I was transported to the village and loved the cast of supporting characters.

5/5 stars!

A huge thank you to NetGalley and Avon books for sending me an E-ARC of this book for an honest review.

Talia Hibbert is an exquisite writer and I officially love anything she writes. Her romances are so sexy, thoughtful, have great representation, and are so much fun to read! I loved Chloe and Dani's stories, and now I am in love with Eve and Jacob's story as well! Also, one of my favorite things about this book was the autism rep.. There are so many things I want to say about this book, however, those would be spoilers, so my exhaustive review will be coming when this book releases. But for now... Oh my gosh this book made me emotional. Jacob is now one of my favorite male characters in an Adult Romance ever, and I fell so in love with Eve's character. I honestly couldn't get enough of this book!

Thanks for reading!

I hope you all are ready to read this one! Talia Hibbert did NOT disappoint as usual.

Thank you NetGalley for lending me this ARC. I am a huge fan of the series, and forever grateful for the chance to read it before it comes out. Pub Date: March 9, 2021.

This book starts off with Eve’s parents giving her the biggest wake up call of a lifetime. They are tired of her lack of everything, and want her to commit and take life seriously. She is a confused twenty something year old, and thinks of herself as a failure. Eve decides to get a job and leaves her parents home.

Jacob is the owner of a B&B, who is not as kind as people would like him to be. He is thoughtful, and unhappy. Together they make the perfect pair. Or do they? They say opposites attract, but what happens before? I imagine a lot of bickering and fuss. Overall these two come to an understanding, and it’s a fantastic journey.

I have read all of The Brown Sisters books, and this was definitely the wildest one? If I can even say that. I really loved the point in this story where just because someone else sees you a certain way, doesn’t mean it’s end all be all. You make the choice for yourself who you want to be at the end of the day. I myself have a lot of these moments, and I just try to remember that I am a good person, and not to be persuaded by others judgement.

At first I thought I was more like Eve, until I realized there’s a lot of me in Jacob as well. Still not entirely sure he’s not a Virgo...but I haven’t gotten confirmation yet🤣

This was my favorite book in the Brown Sisters series. I feel like Tailia Hibbert’s stories just got better and better as the series progressed.

When Eve, the youngest Brown sister, is kicked out of her parents house and told to find a job, she stumbles upon a job as a chef at a bed and breakfast. However, the owner of the bed and breakfast is a grumpy, icy, handsome man who is completely thrown off by Eve’s sunshine and rainbows way of life.

I loved that the focus of this love story was finding someone who understands and embraces you, quirks and all. Eve and Jacob were complete opposites which lead to great banter between the two. And as always Hibbert brought the steaminess in this book.

Overall, this story was more than just a steamy romance. Eve and Jacob both worked through their doubts and issues in order to develop a loving a supportive relationship. As with all of the books in this series there was great representation of race, size, and disability. It’s always refreshing to read stories about real people with really flaws, issues, and insecurities.

I’m so sad this is the last book in the series...maybe a spin off with the Montorose siblings????

Thank you Netgalley, Avon Books, and Harper Voyager for the ARC

I was melting by the end of this from the absolute sweetness of the characters, the aspect of Hibbert’s writing I like best. I love these characters and all their baggage, their kindness to each other, and their resolve to work through their issues and live their best lives.

As with Get a Life Chloe Brown, I was uncomfortable with how blunt and coarse the language was when things got steamy. The sex scenes and sex talk were my least favorite parts of the book.

That probably won’t stop me from reading other books by this author, though, because I really love her sense of humor, and the uniqueness of her characters.

Thank you thank you thank you Netgalley for approving me for this wonderful book!

At this point, I'm convinced Talia Hibbert can do no wrong. This story was super sweet, super steamy, and laugh out-loud funny, just like Chloe Brown's and Dani Brown's books were. In this one, we follow the youngest Brown sister, and I really enjoyed getting to know her, especially since unlike her sisters, she doesn't have her life all figured out and a large portion of her character arc is dedicated to her find her place in the world.

Which ultimately leads her to Jacob and the B&B he runs in Skybriar. I also really liked his character and the autism rep he brought to the story. His dynamic with Eve was fantastic, and I really enjoyed seeing their relationship develop, especially since they got on each other's nerves a lot in the beginning.

Talia Hibbert has quickly become an auto-buy author. I really must work on delving into her indie backlist next.

Thank you NetGalley and Avon and Harper Voyager for an advanced copy of the last installment of Talia Hibbert’s series about the Brown sisters. After reading “Take a Hint, Dani Brown” last year I completely fell in love with Hibbert’s writing. Honestly, at this point I’m left wishing that we could somehow learn about a long-lost sister or brother so that we can hold on to this trio for just a little longer!

Eve jumped out to me so much in the first book that I’ve been anxiously waiting for her to get her chance at love. Fortunately, this installment did not disappoint! Eve is vibrant, kind, and a force to be reckoned with but struggles with what she really wants to do with her life. After failing to ever stick with anything, her parents hit her with a major ultimatum. Frustrated and lost, she finds her way to a charming B&B looking to hire. It’s then that Act Your Age, Eve Brown crashes right into the enemy to lovers plot in the most literal of ways…..when Eve, the youngest of the sisters, literally runs into B&B owner Jacob with her car after a bad interview. Jacob, the B&B owner has used his past experiences and his own Autism to turn his B&B into an accepting and accommodating environment for all. Most notably, Jacob hates chaos and all he can see when he looks at Eve is chaos. Eve knows she’s not exactly welcomed but how can she keep him in the lurch when she injured him, the sole employee at the B&B?

Act Your Age, Eve Brown is the story of how these two very different people can find common ground, support, and love from one another. Fans of the series are sure to love this one and all new readers should prepare for endearing characters, diverse romance, and some steam!

Thank you, NetGalley and the publisher for the chance to read this book!

Talia Hibbert has done it again, another amazing romance that I adored with my whole heart. Since I read “Take a Hint, Dani Brown” last year, Hibbert has turned into one of my favourite authors of all time, I read so many of her novels in 2020 and my aim in 2021 is to read her whole backlist!

“Act Your Age, Eve Brown” is about a woman who feels like she has no direction or aspirations in life. This book is about her finding her own dreams and maybe love along the way. We also follow our hero, Jacob, the grumpy owner of a B&B. Jacob loves order and consistency, so when he is short a chef and only weeks away from a big food festival, he reluctantly hires Eve.

This is the optimum of the grumpy vs sunshine trope and I lived for Eve and Jacob's dynamic and connection. A rivals to lovers, forced proximity, diverse romance that I couldn’t get enough of.

The only thing that frustrated me a bit was towards the end, where there is a bit of miscommunication and meddling family members. But the conflict is resolved pretty quickly and it didn’t affect my overall enjoyment. I can't wait to read more by this author asap!

I loved this one so much. There's a sunshine one and a grumpy one. But, they are obviously so much more than that. I really liked how they met and fell in love. It was incredibly sweet. This book made me smile a lot, and there was one part where he hears her sing, and the description of that moment was incredible. I also really liked how they discussed pursuing your dreams and what happens when they don't work out. I just really enjoyed this book.

In the final book in Talia Hibbert's fun, popular, and downright steamy Brown Sisters trilogy, a hot mess and control-freak collide. No, literally, they collided. This isn't a metaphor. Eve hit Jacob with her car...

After a teeny tiny incident involving some doves at a wedding (sorry not sorry for disapproving of animal cruelty), Eve Brown is told to grow up and actually stick with a job for a whole year or she'll be cut off. So Eve naturally does a very adult thing and runs away, eventually coming across a charming B&B that happens to be looking for a new chef....

Chaos is the natural enemy of Jacob Wayne, and he has written a dozen different employee guides on how to ruthlessly vanquish disorder. Jacob has autism, and is entirely devoted to ensuring that his guests have the most pleasant stay possible at his B&B, always happy to provide extra accommodations to make sure every guest feels at home. The only problem? He can't cook and his chef just won the lottery, leaving Jacob in a bit of a lurch.

And in strides Eve Brown. Posh, funny, purple-haired, entirely unprepared for an interview, wearing the strangest t-shirt he has ever seen, absolutely gorgeous... and quickly proves to be living, breathing, talking chaos.

The impromptu interview goes poorly and Eve storms out... and then proceeds to run Jacob over with her car.

With a mild concussion and a broken wrist, Jacob is down for the count, leaving Eve to take over the running of the B&B. Armed with Jacob's many, many, many incredibly detailed (and swear word filled) employee guidebooks, Eve sets out to prove once and for all that she is not a failure to her parents, to Jacob, and--ultimately--to herself. Meanwhile, Jacob finds himself getting incredibly flustered and frustrated with Eve's presence, unsure how to handle this sunny, singing tornado of pastel hair and lipstick that has taken over his B&B, his life, his sitting room... and his heart?

A strong and powerful conclusion to the Brown Sisters trilogy, Talia Hibbert once again knocks it out of the park with this hilarious, charming, passionate, heartstring-grabbing novel. I've loved wacky and sweet Eve since first being introduced to her in Chloe's book, and absolutely adored every moment of Eve in her starring role! Seeing Eve without her sisters, without seeing her through her sisters, and seeing into her head is a wonderful experience, especially as we get more in-depth with Eve about how she sees herself, her struggles with independence and figuring out who she is and what she really, truly wants to do with her life. She just wants to be successful at something--anything--so bad, especially as the youngest daughter following in the footsteps of two very successful and traditionally 'smart' sisters.

And Jacob. Oh, Jacob, you little grumpy cinnamon roll, you. I love how he has taken his past experiences--both good and bad--to shape his future and create an environment where all are welcome, where accessibility isn't an afterthought, and to make traveling as easy and comfortable as possible. And while he initially dislikes Eve and sees her as a threat to his carefully controlled order, he also slowly comes to terms that they even each other out. While he will never fully embrace chaos (and most certainly will never let waterfowl onto his property (Hold on, now imagining Jacob learning about Untitled Goose Game... Of course Eve plays it. And he watches her play it, seething the entire time...)), Jacob does realize he can't control everything. And that's okay. Especially when, sometimes, good things come out of chaos. Like a certain Eve Brown...

Also, I really love that, not only is this a multiracial romance, but it is a romance in which both protagonists are autistic--Jacob with a diagnosis, and Eve coming to the realization as an adult that she is also autistic, suddenly having a name and explanation for some of her behaviors. Not only is this a phenomenal (and hard to find) pairing in the romance genre, but it's also important to have the representation of being an adult with autism, being someone who learns that there is a strong likelihood of being autistic as an adult, and that (as Eve learns) autism in women is often overlooked or undiagnosed.

When I was approved to read this title early, I was beyond excited. I had loved the first two books in The Brown Sisters series and the last installment did not let me down. This time around it's Eve's - Chloe and Dani's youngest sister - turn to find love. And boy does she! Talia Hibbert, the author, does such a great job crafting inclusive romances (and doesn't shy away from steamy scenes). If you haven't read any of her work before, I would recommend starting with this series, as it is completely adorable. Eve's love interest wasn't my favorite character (let's be honest though, nobody could top Zaf - the love interest of book two), but I still really enjoyed reading this novel. I will miss the Brown sisters and their shenanigans. Make sure you have this title on your radar for upcoming book releases!

Talia Hibbert's books are an absolute delight and this final installment of the Brown sisters is no exception. She's smart and funny and embraces people with disabilities as also deserving of love and a place to see themselves in literature (which of course they are!). Act Your Age, Eve Brown is going to be my go to recommendation for people looking for neurodiversity in romance. Plus it's interracial! And British! This one ticks all the boxes for me. 5 stars cannot wait to recommend.

I loved this book! Definitely my favorite in the whole series. Talia Hibbert did a great job with representing characters on the spectrum and the conflict in the novel was very real.

Okay, I'm late to the party... where has Talia Hibbert been all my life?!? This romance was HOT and definitely not for the shy or fade-to-black romance readers!

Eve is the third of the Brown sisters to have her story shared and she is exactly the pampered princess one might expect of a girl who grows up with money. She enjoys her fashion and glamour, but can't seem to stick with any single project or obligation. When she gets cut off from the trust fund allowance, her storm-off ends up at a B&B who are desperate for a new chef - luckily, Eve has the skills.

Both the main characters of this love story are on the spectrum of autism, allowing for different looks at neurodivergence and how it manifests in different bodies!

I loved Get a Life, Chloe Brown—it was probably one of my favorite romances of 2020. This book was somehow just as good, if not better, which is no easy feat. It was especially wonderful to see two autistic main characters with such thoughtful and complex portrayals.

Act Your Age, Eve Brown is a delightful read. The characters, Eve Brown and Jacob Wayne, are extremely likable and charming, and the romance between the two is a slow-burn between two people that start off as enemies. The secondary characters, Mont and his sisters Tess and Alex are also amazing and add an entertaining element to the story. (Hopefully, we see each of the siblings in a romance series.) I loved the banter between the couple, and there were so many times that I laughed out loud at the antics of the characters. What I love about Talia Hibbert is that she creates love stories that are full of understanding and compassion. The protagonists work through emotional turmoil from childhood experiences and learn to accept themselves and trust the feelings of their partner. She also expertly creates both sexual tension and sexual desire between the characters while creating love scenes that match the context of the novel and its protagonists without pulling the reader out of the story. I

Book 3 of the saga of the Brown sisters is just as delightful and spicy as the first two. "Act Your Age, Eve Brown" has snappy dialog, human characters, and charm. Oh so much charm. Talia Hibbert's ability to create actual human beings on the page instead of sets of walking attributes is always refreshing (and hilarious). All three of the Brown sisters deserved their happy endings. Fingers crossed for a spin-off book starring Gigi!

Act Your Age by Talia Hibbert was a delightful look into another member of the Brown sisters, the 26 year old jobless Eve. After being told she can no longer live on her family’s trust fund, Eve Brown goes for a drive and accidentally runs into a handsome bed and breakfast owner. The ensuing romance is sweet and spicy and is a perfect modern follow up to Netflix’s new romantic TV show Bridgerton.

This book was everything that I was hoping that it would be. Eve is 100% a hot mess and I love everything about her. I didn't expect food to be such a crucial part of the story, and as someone who works in food, that was so nice to see. This book brought me so much joy and I will cherish the Brown sisters forever.
