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 hardâ??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 herselfâ??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 carâ??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 kitchenâ??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 ex… (more)

3.9/5

Okay so out of the there Brown Sister books, I think this was number 2. Both Eve and the guy (I forget his name at the moment), but both of them were really relatable in an almost, "do I need to see a doctor about a potential diagnosis" I had to put the book down pretty often because of this and think and do some research. Hence the 0.1 deduction. Otherwise it would have been a full 4 star read.
Overall, it was light, it was funny. Loved the fact that there's a cheeky musical treat in there, that I absolutely loved, and can I just say most songs are bangers! Such a wonderful treat.
Okay last comment, the steamy scene, whew Chile!! you aren't ready. I wasn't ready for one particular tidbit in there, that was wonderfully surprising! ( )

I love this series and dare I say it - I think Eve's book is my favorite? I shouldn't even pick a favorite coz I adore all the sisters. BUT this one has lots of food porn! AND Jacob is my favorite love interest in the series. ( )

Talia Hibbert can freakin' write and her dialouge!! i'm so sad to see this series come to an end.. i fell in love with both Eve and Jacob very quickly. our hero is a lovable grump and our heroine is a sarcastic mess. but underneath the grumpiness lies someone who’s deeply insecure due to his upbringing and underneath the irresponsible behavior lies a woman who’s quite unsure about who she is and fears failure. the main reason why the enemies-to-lovers trope works so well is the banter. Jacob and Eve are never enemies in the literal sense. the fact that they’re attracted to each other hinders the full-blown hate. this book brought me so much happiness and i found myself smiling and giggling while reading their banter and honestly their chemistry leapt off of every single page. Jacob is by far my favorite of all three of the heroes ( )

I love this series and these sisters! Book 3 didn't disappoint. It was great getting to know Eve and Jacob and the entire family better.

I loved the progression of their relationship, chemistry and how they "got" each other. ( )
