Another delight from Talia Hibbert! If you liked her earlier books about the Brown girls, you’ll love the latest installment. A woman still seeking herself meets a cute but socially awkward B&B owner and the sparks fly. Five out of five stars.

Somehow I missed out on reading about Chloe and Dani Brown so Eve was my first introduction to the Brown family and Talia Hibbert’s wonderful writing. Eve is perfectly content with her life. She is constantly switching careers and still lives with her parents but she is fine with that. That is until her parents give her the ultimatum to move out and get a job or she will lose access to her trust fund. Eve takes off on the road through the country when she comes across a B&B hiring for the chef position. Eve figures why not her despite her total lack of experience as a chef. Jacob, the B&Bs owner is immediately put off by her bright colors and outgoing personality. The interview ends with her accidentally hitting him with her car leaving him in a situation where he needs her until he can get back up on his feet. Slowly sparks begin to fly as Jacob and Eve discover they actually have a lot I common and there were some serious sparks. Act Your Age, Eve Brown has some seriously steamy scenes.

Everything about Jacob and Eve felt so real. Eve was considered flighty but she was hilarious and had so much depth and enthusiasm. Jacob is definitely a new book boyfriend. He was autistic and Talia Hibbert handled the subject with the utmost respect and care. He is reluctant to trust and for good reason but once he opens up there is so much there! I absolutely loved the setting in the Lake district. The enemies to lovers trope is my favorite so this book was really perfect for me but I highly recommend to everyone! There were times when I was laughing out loud uncontrollably and other times when I had tears streaming down my face. Can’t wait to see what Talia Hibbert writes next!

Thank you to NetGalley and Harper Books for my review copy.

Welp, it is official. The Brown Sisters are delightful. De.Light.Ful.
Should I go ahead and say this is my favorite? Yes, I think I should. This was my favorite.
Jacob and Even were amazing characters. I just wanted to cuddle them up and mother them to death.
They had such great obsticles to overcome (you know what I mean....I'm not trying to be ugly). In addition....the setting oh, the setting. I loved the Lake district. It has always been a place I wanted to visit and I'm so glad I got to go within this book.
Now, let's talk about the steam level. It was high y'all. Very, very high. I will say it is very easy to skip by the steam and still get a lot out of the story and the relationship.

Overall. I loved this series. I will absolutly recommend it going forward. I can't wait to see what Talia brings us next. She is certainly an autobuy author for me!

As of the writing of this review, I have read all 3 Brown Sisters books in less than a month and now I’m staring out my window into a rainy evening wondering what to do next.
I’m not the biggest romance reader. IDK, I don’t mind them, but sex scenes can make me cringe sometimes, and I have attachment issues, blah blah blah. And yet I could not put these books down. The characters felt so REAL and alive in unique ways–they were super diverse and introduced me to new things all the time, they are charmingly British without being stodgy, the sex scenes were spicy but not cringey, and now I’m sad that I’m all done.
While this is the third book in the series, I imagine you can read them independently. Sure, you’ll be spoiled for who the other sisters end up with, but it’s a romance so…come on. You already knew the answer. That’s the beauty of this.
Eve Brown is 26-ish and has not yet settled herself. She tries on careers like hats and runs away when she has a brush with failure. She still lives at home and she’s perfectly content to keep trying until her parents give her an ultimatum: get a job and get a home or the trust fund’s gone.
This leads Eve, always level headed *sarcasm*, on a drive into the country where she comes across a B&B looking for a cook. Well…why not her? Except…Eve’s never really been a cook before, but she can cook, so why not? Well….she and the owner, Jacob, an autistic man who has put his life into the B&B, is immediately put off by her bright colors, lack of CV, and then, to make things better, Eve hits him with her car when she’s leaving.
While his friend takes him to the hospital, Eve steps in at the B&B to handle the afternoon, and when Jacob comes back, he can’t ignore the fact that he needs her while he recovers. Of course, this being the kind of books it is, sparks fly, and Eve and Jacob can’t ignore their attracion to each other as they find out they have more in common than they think and both grow into fully actualized people while preparing for a, yes I’m serious, gingerbread festival.
So yes, this book is as cute as it sounds, but with some raunch and some singing and some human growth potential (see what I did there?) and I thoroughly enjoyed it and want to abscond to a bed and breakfast as quickly as possible. That is all.

I am so sad that we’ve completed the story of the Brown sisters, but what a perfect ending to a beautifully written series. I’ve loved each of these stories so much, for such differing reasons, and highly recommend them to anyone willing to pick them up.

I think Eve’s story is my favorite yet, with her quirky ways and the way she fights for being herself throughout this book. And Jacob and his brooding? #swoon. I love the diversity Talia writes into her stories, whether it be race, sexuality, body image or physical and mental health. There is SO MUCH a person can relate to and I appreciate that so much. And the steamy moments? Super hot. 😂😍🔥 Definitely a five star review from me — I can’t wait to see what she comes up with next.

Well, reader, it’s been epic. As I sit here, grieving the end of this outstanding series and wishing it wasn’t so (please recall that movie scene from Thor where Thor drinks coffee for the first time in his life and promptly smashes the cup on the floor demanding ANOTHER), I am also incredibly thankful for what this series has done and will do in terms of diversity in the romance genre.

After two brilliant novels about the Brown sisters, Chloe and Danika, we finally get Eve Brown’s story and it is as incredible as its predecessors.

Eve Brown is a hot mess, and everyone knows it. Struggling to hold down a job for long, her passions for wedding planning, studying at university, and singing have been fleeting – much to her parents’ dismay. Disappointed in their daughter, they give her an ultimatum: keep a job for a year or forego her trust fund.

Enraged and embarrassed, Eve flees her home and finds herself spontaneously interviewing for a chef position at an adorable Bed and Breakfast whose owner may be hot, but clearly is also an idiot.

Jacob lives and breathes control. Living with autism, he knows what he needs and what he doesn’t. And Eve Brown, who disrupts his life with her beauty and wits is certainly not the right woman to fit the chef role. Everything about Eve, from her unwavering confidence to her ability to call him out on his bullshit, is a thorn in his side and that’s before Eve Brown accidentally hits him with her car. From that unexpected collision on, this book is a wild ride of two seeming opposites learning that they might not be that different after all – and realising that home can be anywhere as long as you’re with the right people.

The premise of this book was fantastic, but once again, what really drew me in was Hibbert’s ability to balance the romance with the characters growth. It’s a fine line to give the individuals in a romance just as much “me time” as to further their relationship and this book handled that balance perfectly. Yes, the chemistry between the two of them is absolutely sizzling. They butt heads a lot of the time, but in the end, they both support the other and only want the best for them. Jacob and Eve may snap and sneer at each other, but it’s impossible not to clutch the book and whine ‘just kiss already’ as the tension between the two of them grows palpable.

Beyond that, this book focused on a topic that was way too relatable for me. Eve is considered flighty because she can’t stick with any one job, but what others perceive as lacklustre effort has actually so much more depth to it. Eve wants to be great at something but the mere thought that she might fail at it is enough to zap her of any enthusiasm to pursue a career (kind of along the lines of ‘you can’t fail if you never try’). That fear, I think, is instilled in all of us – that to fail is worse than not trying at all. The growth Eve goes through in this book really hit home for me and I think anyone who’s ever called themselves a lazy perfectionist might like Eve.

Jacob may also be my favourite new man crush. He was just so relatable in the way he keeps himself closed off to others because he knows that once he lets someone in, people have the tendency to leave him. Quite like Eve’s fear of failure, Jacob anticipates rejection and preempts it, which makes for a hauntingly emotional evolution of his character in the book and I admit that I teared up more than once when he talked about his abandonment issues. Seriously, Jacob deserves the world and I’m not taking criticism at this point. But when he meets Eve, who is caring and kind and not going anywhere, Jacob decides to give love a second chance and falls head over heels. I can’t really blame him as I loved Eve from the minute I met her when she promptly hit Jacob only to then ask him whether his injuries would hurt less if she flashed him her boobs was only the cherry on top of my undying devotion to her. These two were literally picture perfect for each other.

Now, I cannot speak for the autism representation in this book and thus defer to #ownvoices reviews, but from what I can tell, the subject was handled with a lot of care. There’s no oversimplification of autism and there are no cure-for-all plotlines. Instead, autism and its signs are weaved seamlessly into the narrative and it’s never referred to in pejorative terms, which was so refreshing. Autism isn’t used as a barrier to keep them apart; instead, it is embraced and talked about with kindness which made me really happy.

Also, how Hibbert manages to make me laugh out loud and to also have quiet tears streaming down my cheeks within the same chapter remains a mystery. This truly is a book I would recommend to everyone.

Whether you pick this up because you enjoy the enemies-to-lovers trope (who doesn’t?), want to read about fierce, vulnerable women who go after what they want (both in romance and in life in general), want to laugh (I mean, I’m not saying there is a scene in this book when Jacob happens to accidentally sit on Eve’s purple, glittery dildo but that’s exactly what I’m saying), want to cry (is there something in my eye or did Jacob really just pick daisies at the side of the frickin’ road so he could give Eve flowers?), there’s truly something for everyone within these pages. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll sympathise and sync your Spotify playlist to Eve’s taste. This book is the full package.

A worthy, unforgettable conclusion to one of the best romantic comedy series out there, Act Your Age, Eve Brown packs an emotional punch and simultaneously soothes the soul – and proves that this truly is Talia Hibbert’s world and we’re all grateful that we get to live in it.

This is the latest book in the Brown sisters series. I was really looking forward to it, but I just didn’t connect with this one as much as the other two titles. I did like the witty banter and Eve is delightful. The pacing was a little off for me, though. All in all, though, it’s a good book and fans won’t be disappointed.

Another big hit for Talia Hibbert. I love the way she is able to portray differently abled characters in such a matter of fact way. Their Spectrum divergence is just a part of their characteristics not the focus of the storyline. I really enjoyed the main character Eve’s malapropisms. Sometimes it would take me a moment to figure out what she really meant so that was a treat. In fact the whole book was a treat. I’m sorry to see the ending of this trilogy.
I would recommend this book to my patrons (and friends)!

This is probably my most anticipated 2021 release. I’ve loved this series and was really looking forward to it. This book is solid, but I have to say it’s probably my least favorite of the three. That’s a real bummer for me to say because I’m on the spectrum and was really looking forward to the autistic rep. I do, however, think the rep was the best part about this! For some reason the pacing was just not there for me. I finished the other two books in one night, and this took me weeks to finish. I’m not sure if I just didn’t connect with the characters or the way the story flowed. That being said, I think Talia Hibbert fans will enjoy this and I think it’s a great book, I just don’t think I can give it as high a rating as the other two, because it just wasn’t as memorable for me. I would say 3.5 stars!

One thing I love about Talia Hibbert's books is that a reader knows they're in good hands and that Hibbert's books won't be unduly stressful. She writes with so much compassion for her characters that it somehow (for me, at least) extends to the reader as well. In the midst of an unending pandemic (which is only one of the many things those of us in the US have to worry about), it is really comforting to read her books. In this one, baby of the family Eve can't seem to get her life together - she floats from job to job and is afraid to mess things up, so she quits before she can really fail. However, her parents have had enough and give her an ultimatum. Meanwhile, Jacob is running a b&b and needs a chef, but he is very rigid and hates everyone. Eve decides to apply for the job, but then runs Jacob over with her car (ha!). Eve was super delightful - I loved her malapropisms, and it was so nice to see her learn to trust herself. I really liked Jacob as well, who is on the autism spectrum and is getting over past trauma; he doesn't quite know what to do with Eve. (His 3 good friends, the Montrose family, are all so much fun.) And if you've read the previous books in the series you'll be happy to hear Eve's family makes an appearance in this book. They are hilarious. My one complaint is that the book wrapped up pretty quickly at the end - there was one plot thread that never got resolved, and I thought it should have. But I will say that I love Hibbert's epilogues - I'm not a big epilogue fan, but hers make me laugh. Fans of Hibbert's previous books in the series (about Eve's sister's Chloe and Dani), will enjoy this one just as much as the others, but this book can also be read as a standalone.

If I were to describe this book in a way that would have someone read it, I would say that it a book about two cinnamon rolls falling in love.

Our primary cinnamon roll is Eve Brown, who leaves dramatically after her parents threaten to cut her off, and the second cinnamon roll is bed and breakfast owner, Jacob Wayne. Jacob Wayne's introduction in the book is… fascinating. At first, he appears cold and too anal-retentive before Eve enters his life. When these two meet, Eve happens upon Castell Cottage and notices they're hiring for a new chef and decides to interview for the job. The moment Jacob lays eyes on her, he labels her as a chaos demon, as she admits that she doesn't have a resume on her and noticed the sign about the job and popped in for an interview. Jacob is horrified by the spontaneous nature of Eve Brown.

These two characters are so adorable and compliment each other. In the beginning, as Eve is the literal chaos demon as described by Jacob, she takes on the opportunity given to her without an issue, which frustrates Jacob as he begins to realize that Eve's work ethic is an attractive feature for him. When Jacob is borderline harsh, Eve doesn't get offended; instead, she snaps back with a snarky comment that leaves Jacob dazed. Despite their hate, at first sight, they begin to form a friendship that is gloriously presented at the meeting of the Pemberton Gingerbread Festival Committee. At the meeting, a fellow member, Craig Jackson, decides to compare Jacob to Spock. As Craig is laughing at his reference, Eve asks Craig why he's comparing Jacob to Spock, which promotes Craig to become embarrassed before the committee resumes their meeting. During Eve's and Craig's showdown, Jacob looks on with wonderment as Eve called out Craig for his behavior. It not only shows the difference between Jacob's, 'show no weakness' and Eve's, 'I refuse to tolerate this belittling' that makes them both so endearing.

Eve and Jacob's transition from enemies to friends is so endearing. As the story progresses, you notice that the little things Eve did annoy Jacob at first start to become endearing habits. With these endearing habits, Jacob starts to see that his feeling for his employee is dangerous territory. In the beginning, the reader knows of Eve's past dating life and her unfortunate choices in men, and it is the reason Eve ignores her feelings for Jacob. It is later in the book that the reader starts to get an insight into Jacob. Being on the spectrum, Jacob has been described by previous women to be 'too much' and end up leaving him. Jacob's past relationships also keep him from pursuing his feelings towards Eve; instead, the reader has to witness these characters, broken from their previous relationships, stay at arm's length with each other.

This book was a whirlwind of emotions ranging from Jacob's apparent dislike of Eve in the beginning and Eve's constant panic at finding her place in the world. To Jacob falling slowly but surely in love with Eve and Eve, finding not only her passion but her place in the world.

I would recommend this book to anyone interested in reading about two cinnamon rolls who dislike one another and transform into two people in love. The way their romance progresses is a strong point in this book. As Jacob begins falling in love with Eve, the reader can notice the slight changes in Jacob. After revealing their feelings, the communication between them strengthens this in part due to their previous relationships. Jacob is laying his expectations down, and Eve is doing the same. It was almost strange watching these characters communicate in their relationship, communication being a main problem generator in the romance genre. But even as these two have issues, they still communicate and are patient with each other.

This is the third and final Brown sister novel (a moment of silence) and this series is just so good!! Book two is my favorite of the three, but dang this one was so much fun and the one that I related to the most.

In this novel Eve, the baby of the family, is forced to find a real job *Ben Wyatt Voice* EVE BROWN HAS NEVER HAD A READL JOB IN HER LIFE. That is not really true, but I could not pass up the opportunity to reference that moment. Anyways, Eve needs a job and after driving to escape her feelings she ends up in a small town at a Bed & Breskfast who needs a chef. Even though Jacob, the owner lowkey does not like her (but for some reason keeps staring at her), he is in a bind and hires her.

WHAT I LOVED:
-Like every conversation Eve and Jacob have made me smile
-The setting!! I am not a huge B&B person since I have maybe been to one and most of my knowledge comes from Gilmore Girls, but DANG! I am ready to move to the lake district and work at a B&B after this!!
When they eavesdrop on the customers
-IT’S FUNNY, Talia Hibbert is just hilarious
But, also emotional and deep
She balances it so well
-Eve’s hair
-I THINK THERE IS A PRIDE & PREJUDICE 2005 REFERENCE THAT IS VERY SUBTLE, but cannot confirm or deny
-I loved the end of book conflict and how it all wrapped up, I usually do not like the OH NO WILL THEY WONT THEY??? Endings, but I really liked this one!
-The autistic representation!
-Talia is always incorporating some kind of diversity into her romance novels and I am HERE FOR IT


WHAT I DID NOT LOVE:
-The timeline is a little fast for me, like after three days they are both super into each other
Which is explained, but still slow down people
-This isn’t a negative per se, but the sex scenes were a little long for my preference



I also could really relate to Eve as a 26 year old who has no ide where her life is going!! Can relate!! Adulting is hard for Eve and me too! There was a paragraph that hit a bit too close to home and I cried so LOVE THAT FOR ME

4/5 stars

Talia Hibbert has outdone herself with the third book in her series about the Brown sisters! Eve is the baby of the family and can't seem to get her life together, bouncing between jobs as soon as failure becomes a real threat. After a fight with her parents, she storms off and accidentally lands a job as the new chef at a B&B. When she falls for the B&B's autistic owner, Jacob, she learns more than she expected to about herself.

Jacob and Eve are both beautifully written characters bursting with life, charm and personality. I rooted for them on every page and raced through and book in less than 24 hours. Having read the first two books in the series, I also loved how much each sister resembles her family while still being wholly her own person. If you enjoyed Dani and Chloe's stories, you'll love Eve's journey too!

This series just keeps getting better! I liked Chloe's story, I loved Dani's story, but I wanted to live in Eve's book forever. She was just so unapologetically herself in a way that was badass and hilarious, but still had doubts and fears - she was just...so authentically beautiful.

I was laughing in the opening paragraph, and the shenanigans and banter between Eve and Jacob had me grinning from ear to ear throughout the story! Ooh and Jacob! He's a little prickly at first, but wow does he grow on you in all the best ways!

"Jacob's attitude was rather like a barbed-wire fence: designed to rip you to shreds if you got too close, but only to protect something special."

Talia Hibbert's writing is phenomenal and this book is no different - some of the lines literally took my breath away! At one point Jacob says to Eve:

"It sounds like your dream broke, and you've been picking up shattered pieces and blaming yourself when your hands bleed."

I mean, are you swooning yet? Hibbert does such an incredible job in handling discussion of the autism spectrum, how people can and are viewed, and watching Jacob and Eve communicate about/through that was so realistic, and managed to still be...enchanting.

So obviously I love love LOVED this book! I'm sorry to tell you it does not come out until March 9, 2021. But! This means is you haven't read the first two in the series, you can go buy them and have plenty of time to read them before then. Eve's story *can* be read as stand-alone but it's so much richer if you read Chloe and Dani's stories first.

Just like Talia Hibbert to save the best for last. If you thought the first two books in the series were amazing then you are seriously going to lose it for this one.

Act Your Age, Eve Brown has absolutely everything.

It has:

*the grumpy/sunshine trope (oh my God, yes, pour it straight down my mouth)
*a hero with autism who isn't just discovering said autism
*it has a heroine discovering her own differently abled-ness
*it has body-positivity
*it has the blissful use of sex toys, not just alone, but as a couple
*it has quirky side characters
*it has a charming bed and breakfast
*it has so much banter your head will literally spin with pure bliss

I almost never highlight quotes in my Kindle because by the time I've realized I liked the sound of something I've already moved on and I simply cannot move backwards. But I highlighted the ever-loving shit out of my Kindle. And then I texted those quotes to people who don't have an ARC because I'm a monster who loves teasing people endlessly.

This book was sweet and beautiful and touching and sexy beyond belief. Jacob, our adorably difficult but admirably organized hero, and Eve, our scatter-brained but widely talented heroine, were a perfectly matched pair who balanced one another's idiosyncrasies with ease. Two powerful personalities clashing for control--chaos and control--as they work toward the same goal: make Castell Cottage the best damn Bed and Breakfast the world has ever seen.

Act Your Age, Eve Brown literally cannot disappoint.

4.5 stars: I was between 4 and 4.5 stars, but frankly, the degree to which this lightened my spirits on a high pain/anxiety day tipped me towards the extra half star. This book was just SO CHARMING and SO JOYFUL. I absolutely loved the main characters and the banter between them, but more than anything, this is one of the only successful screwball comedies I've encountered in book form. This book is (IMO- humor is so subjective) genuinely funny, and even more than the romance going on, I just enjoyed spending time in the world with this cast. The romance ultimately worked well for me, but the only thing that I thought didn't totally sell me was the transition from platonic to romantic interest. Once the romantic interest was established, I totally bought the progression of the relationship, but initial stages felt glossed over to me. There's also a big misunderstanding at the end that, while it gets resolved very quickly, felt a little needless.
Still, this book had me smiling and laughing beginning to end, so I can't help but stan

Sometimes all you can really is "I loved this book." Talia Hibbert is one of the most gifted writers I've ever had the pleasure to read and that rare gem of an author whose books only seem to be getting better with every one she writes.

I have adored the Brown sisters' series and am almost in tears now that adorable Eve, the youngest Brown sister, has found her way into the arms of knight in curmudgeonly armor Jacob and all three sisters are settled. These ladies are gorgeous, crazy in the best ways possible, and just generally fabulous women who deserve the outstanding men they find.

I love Hibbert's ability to showcase women of color with curves and guys with mental health issues so effortlessly. She hints at the issues people on the spectrum face or how a woman who's anything over 100 pounds feels when she looks at a fashion magazine or feels stares on her when she's enjoying a donut but the books never become about those things. There's something to her characters that goes beyond simple relatability. I'm consistently bowled over by how real these people feel.

Though I have adored every book in this series this is by far my favorite. Oddly I think its because I didn't especially like chapter one Eve Brown but was more or less in love with her by the end. Taking that kind of journey with a character, where you watch them grow and learn about themselves and screw up and course correct and just become more than they were when they started is such a wonderful experience. Eve mattered to me.

As the book jacket says she is an absolute hot mess when the story begins. The youngest of the overachieving Brown sisters she's a bit of a spoiled baby whose definitely taken advantage of her trust fund to dip her toes in all kinds of crazy careers but she's never managed to stick with anything for long. She just can't focus, something that has plagued her all her life, resulting in a poor school showing and a wide variety of interests but nothing to really show for any of it.

When her parents, rightly, tell her its past time to get her act together she throws a rather unladylike tantrum and runs away, despite knowing full well that her parents are right. Her aimless driving takes her to a sweet little B&B in the country run by possibly the most uptight prick on the planet. Actually calling Jacob Wayne uptight is like calling the ocean a big body of water, its really not doing him justice. Jacob has thrown all his money into his B&B and he is determined to make it a success on his own horrifyingly exacting terms. Unfortunately he also happens to be down a chef. But as luck would have it Eve has picked up more than a few cooking skills in her years of trying out various careers.

A tentative partnership is formed which ultimately leads to friendship which ultimately leads to some of the hottest sex in romantic fiction history. I mean good lord.

Everything about this story works. From Hibbert's handling of Jacob's autism to the organic, gorgeous way their love story develops to the daily workings of the B&B (seriously Hibbert made me want to at least consider opening one of my own and I HATE people). Everything is delightful and real and sexy and romantic. Eve and Jacob begin a relationship in the most honest and lovely way possible and I rooted for them both, with all their faults and foibles from the very first second they met.

I cannot wait to see what else Talia Hibbert has in store for us. We are blessed beyond belief to have her and her gorgeous, gorgeous books.

Somehow, Talia Hibbert continues to up her game with each new book in the Brown Sisters series. Once again, I read the last Brown sister's story all in one day, unable to put it down from the first page. Act Your Age, Eve Brown follows flighty, creative, sunshine-and-rainbows Eve, the youngest sister in a wealthy family. When her parents decide she needs to "grow up" and start holding down a real job, she winds up as the chef at a country B&B owned by stiff, meticulous Jacob, who she also accidentally hit with her car. Throughout this book, the two characters become some of the most lovable in Hibbert's whole series--and Chloe, Red, Dani, and Zaf were all incredibly lovable, too.

The cute-factor is turned up to 10 for Eve and Jacob; their coming-home kind of love is exactly what I want in a romance novel AND in real life. Their at-odds beginnings are perfectly executed so that the various gaffes and banter before they finally get together are hilarious and it's all satisfying. Eve coming to terms with her own personal flaws and strengths with Jacob's help reads as incredibly satisfying and realistic, too--and their mutual agreement that Eve is also on the autism spectrum is great to see. Somehow, even with the extreme steaminess of the previous books in this series, I also think Act Your Age, Eve Brown was the sexiest yet. I almost wish there were more Brown sisters--or cousins, or step-cousins, or evil doppelgängers--just so I could've more books in this delightful series!

Considering that their first interaction involves a painfully tense job interview, followed swiftly by harsh words, & ending with Eve running over Jacob with her car, Act Your Age, Eve Brown cannot rightfully be said to achieve the standard perimeters of a “meet cute”, but this enemies to love match/sunshine plus grump romance couldn’t be any sweeter, regardless. Perfectly charming & unmissable!

It might look like I’ve given this book 5 stars, but that is incorrect. I have actually rated it 5 billion, but it’s hard to tell. If you squint a little you’ll see it.

(I'm so sad that there aren't any more Brown sisters, but I can't wait to read whatever Hibbert comes up with next!)

I love this story! Grumpy/sunshine...that is my brand.

I would like to start by saying that Talia is one of my absolute favorite authors. I completely adore her writing.

Eve and Jacob’s relationship starts out antagonistic, but once they move past that, their relationship is wonderful with tons of banter and great chemistry.

I found this like in previous books in series to be a real page turner and it has everything you could ask for – romance, siblings relationship, comedy and a substantial serving of steamy scenes.Just an all around wonderful read.

Talia Hibbert, you’re amazing,The Brown Sisters series have special place in my heart.
