AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER In Talia Hibbert’s newest rom-com, the flightiest Brown sister crashes into the life of an uptight B&B owner and has him falling hard—literally. Featured on Parade, PopSugar, Marie Claire, Oprah Mag, Bustle, Shondaland, CNN.com, Kirkus Magazine, Bookpage, USA Today, Bookish, Bookriot, and more! 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.

This was probably my most anticipated book of the year. After all, I proudly proclaim take a hint dani brown as one of the best romances I've ever read. So it's with a heavy heart that I announce: this wasn't as good as that book.
Don't get me wrong, I really liked it. There were genuine laugh-out-loud moments in this. The banter were so fun and several scenes had me going awww and wtf?! (in the best way).
I just didn't didn't care about this couple as much as I'd hoped to. Also, some parts of this book were painfully corny. And the last-act-conflict was so stupid. Ugh. I hate the miscommunication trope with every fibre of my being. Nevertheless, I still had a good time and am going to be reading whatever Talia Hibbert writes for the rest of eternity because damn, that woman can write. I love her weird books.
Gigi flashback novella WHEN. Also, I'm so glad the Montrose siblings are getting their own series! This series was such a delight, and I loved Eve maybe the most of all the Brown sisters. Grumpy/sunshine is one of my favorite tropes, and Eve figuring out some things about herself was delightful, as was the entire Brown family emergency trip to the Lake District, and the mutual mad dash to make a grand gesture at the end. I have more Talia Hibbert on my TBR and I might have to move it to the top!

the only brown sisters LI who deserves rights is zaf and that's the hill i will die on
i adored eve rather unexpectedly, i thought her “being a hot mess” would annoy me like it did jacob, but i found it endearing and somewhat relatable. growing up with chloe and dani as sisters must have been difficult but to have parents that expect you to be exactly like them in achievements? poor thing :-(
i hated jacob. with a passion. felt bad for him at times but mostly felt overwhelmingly frustrated because eve deserves better lmaooo✌️
