Eve Brown is a certified hot mess. No matter how hard she strives to do right, her life always goes horribly wrong. So she’s given up trying. But when her personal brand of chaos ruins an expensive wedding (someone had to liberate those poor doves), her parents draw the line. It's time for Eve to grow up and prove herself - even though she's not entirely sure how....

Jacob Wayne is in control. Always. The bed and breakfast owner’s on a mission to dominate the hospitality industry and he expects nothing less than perfection. So when a purple-haired tornado of a woman turns up out of the blue to interview for his open chef position, he tells her the brutal truth: not a chance in hell. Then she hits him with her car - supposedly by accident. Yeah, right.

Now his arm is broken, his B&B is understaffed, and the dangerously unpredictable Eve is fluttering around, trying to help. Before long, she’s infiltrated his work, his kitchen - and his spare bedroom. Jacob hates everything about it. Or rather, he should. Sunny, chaotic Eve is his natural-born nemesis, but the longer these two enemies spend in close quarters, the more their animosity turns into something else. Like Eve, the heat between them is impossible to ignore...and it’s melting Jacob’s frosty exterior.

Cute but lots of sex and swear words

A little more descriptive sex and f@#$ word use than I prefer, but a fun and different kind of love story overall.

Wonderful!

I love this book so much! It’s so adorable and sweet and so spicy. I also love the autism representation. It made me feel so seen. I could really relate.

Very Sweet

I was nervous about some of the content when starting, but this book ended up being amazing. inspiring. I love all of this series and this one definitely didn't disappoint.

Amazing Story

I loved this book. I enjoyed its emotional depths that made me laugh and cry. Wow!!!

So, So, Darling!!!

This is a super sweet romance with quirk! The characters are relatable with their oddities (we all have some!) The sex talk is blunt force trauma and still fun! I enjoyed this book in every way!

GREAT ending to the Brown Sisters' trilogy

Absolutely loved it! Another wonderful book by Talia Hibbert and great narration by Ione Butler.

Wonderful

Simply wonderful. Made me happy, like when I read Octavia Butler for the first time.

10/10

Love love LOVED this book!! As someone who grew up with undiagnosed autism, I related to Eve so hard!! I usually overlook shtty writing in my little romance reads but the writing was really good in this one. The storyline was *chef’s kiss*!! Love the black representation!! 🖤 Also, the spice was spicy 😉 I usually listen to audiobooks while grocery shopping to keep the overstimulation at bay and one of the spiciest parts just happened to start as I was walking into a Costco. Let’s just say that I should’ve switched books or waited in the car until after bc not only was it almost impossible to keep my facial features together but I forgot to grab half of the items I needed (and I had a list…) hahaha
This book set a new standard and I’m honestly a little sad bc idk if I’ll be able to find something else that made me laugh, cry, etc quite like this did 🖤 thank you for writing such an amazing book!!

Best Brown Book

What can i say! Two awkward and beautiful people having the most adorable love story.

Super adorable!

We love to see the growth of everyone in here. As always, everything is done so well!
