Act Your Age, Eve Brown

I sort of jumped into Book #3 of the Brown Sisters series by [a:Talia Hibbert 17088554 Talia Hibbert https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1544037896p2/17088554.jpg], but that's only because the others weren't available at the library. I'd been hearing Hibbert's name come up, associated with some pretty incredible praise in my “Summer of Smut” (TM) reading. The praise was warranted.This quirky book with its quirky love interests turned out to be good company while I was sick with kidney stones. (I'm only recommending the book; avoid kidney stones.)Eve Brown was a true classically spunky dame. Her ability to carry on through life travails with a smile on her face kept the book light-hearted, even when her love interest, Jacob, could be a grump. However, all was revealed eventually about both characters off-the-wall reactions to each other. I'm not sure if this was a grumpy-meets-sunshine romance or enemies-to-lovers, or both, or if it matters. But it was definitely one where both parties thought they were doing the right thing by restraining their emotions for the other. After eventually passing that phase while working together at Jacob's B&B, things got steamy rather quickly. DO NOT MISS THE SCENE WITH THE PURPLE THING. I won't say what it is, but it's a hoot. Along the way, the characters learn enough about each other to understand why they are alike and why they both struggle with normal, everyday things. I won't spell it out, but it make total sense when it's revealed.I'll have to go check out the books about Eve Brown's sisters, Chloe and Danika. Read this book!!
