Opposites attract in the next installment of the Brown sisters trilogy, and yes you do get to check in on Chloe and Red for those of you who were fans of the first book. (If you haven’t read it yet I loved that one too) Dani and Zaf don’t have much in common at first glance, but deep down they’re actually quite similar and I adored both of them. Dani is quirky, confident, super smart and supremely sexy and Zaf is basically the same but add in sweetness where Dani is snarky, sharp tongued and very guarded.

Fake relationships are one of my favorite romance tropes, I think it’s the way the characters usually try and fight the chemistry between them and while Dani and Zaf didn’t put up too much of a fight, it was still super entertaining to see them try and deny that they were made for each other. Their chemistry was so undeniable that I wouldn’t have been surprised if my Kindle caught on fire during some of their encounters. Yes, this was spicy and super sexy, but their banter and flirting was also 🔥 and the build up before they hooked up was fantastic. Zaf is definitely swim worthy and in the end Dani herself opened up and had some pretty romantic gestures herself. This is a romance for everyone, definitely recommended by me.

ARC received from NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

I was anxious to read this after thoroughly enjoying Chloe Brown, and it didn't disappoint. This was just as good and stands on it's own - you don't need to read the first in the series to know what's happening. Dani and Zaf were adorable together. I appreciated that the author gave us an elevated version of the typical fake-dating-turns-real plot. Both characters were well flushed out with plenty of context, depth and insight. Always refreshing to read a contemporary romance with real, relatable characters and life situations.

I really enjoyed this book, but full disclosure it was a little hard to get into this trope. The fake relationship is normally a trope I really like, but I was having trouble getting into it in this book because it was so obvious Zaf liked Dani! Zaf was amazing. I adored his character (so sweet and sensitive!), the real talk about anxiety, and the charity work he does in his community. Dani is so driven and exactly the kind of heroine I like to read about. Also the #Dr. Rugbae social media thing was really cute. I will definitely be recommending this book to patrons who are looking for a fun contemporary romance to read. Thank you to NetGalley and Avon for a chance to read and review an ARC of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

4.5 Stars - Top Pick

#DrRugbae is hot AF

Hibbert is quickly climbing my list of authors and on the way to an auto buy. From characters that jump off the page to low angsty romance that still provides a lot of depth the second book in the Brown Sisters series only continues with this trend. I found this one easy to get sucked into and one chapter without any effort turned into six.

Let’s get into what I loved and it starts with characters.

Dani is in graduate school, a teacher on her way to doctor status, who’s an expert in women’s studies and not just general studies, from the mouth of our illustrious hero and Dani’s shocked response:

“Race and gender in the West after slavery,” Zaf said.

At which point, Dani released a garbled sound of astonishment, one that sounds like a cross between a cough, a burp, and a squawked. “What?”, into the ears of the entire city.

Zaf shot her a look of concern, as if he suspected she’d accidentally swallowed a passing pigeon…

Also, I love how Dani is a witch and wears black all the time. This woman could have her fashion show of black attire and if she did I’d be there for it. Add in Dani’s fierce self-confidence and I dream about being friends with Dani Brown.

On the flip side, there is Zafir Ansari, grumpy ex-rugby player who works security on Dani’s college campus. He starts out as just an average, every day, flirt. He brings Dani a granola bar, she brings him coffee. It’s a mutually beneficial relationship that spirals out of control after Zafir carries Dani out of a building during a fire/safety drill. Especially when their moment becomes fodder for social media. Hello #DrRugbae and cue the fantastical fake boyfriend/girlfriend trope.

Then it’s all about the way this relationship unfolds and how adult situations are handled. Romance is an escape and part of that whisking away for me comes in the form of reading stories with active communication and people learning how to be honest about their feelings. Zafir and Dani both have some baggage from their pasts, and it does interfere with things, as it should in every good romance, but it’s figured out and discussed so damn well.

The romance is swoon-worthy, and side note, our hero reads/listens to romance. So when Dani tells him she’s not ‘good girlfriend’ material and that she doesn’t pay enough attention to partners or put their needs before her career and family Zafir’s response is perfect.

“That’s not how relationships should be,” he finished, thrown a little off-balance. She’d said those words with such flat, empty hopelessness, as if this was a lesson she’d learned the hard way. As if it was a simple fact that love would ask too much of her, and so she wouldn’t or couldn’t try. He wasn’t sure if the look in her eyes was weariness or an echo of something sharper, harsher. Either way, he didn’t like it.

“I know,” she told him slowly, as if explaining something to a child. “I don’t do things right, and a I don’t think I want to. It all seems awfully dull and inconvenient. That’s why I’ve chose to abstain.”

“No, I meant—priorities that don’t match, punishments for being yourself, that’s not how a relationship should be.”

Another absolute joy is the secondary characters with purpose. Full flesh and blood people that engage with both Dani and Zafir, enriching the story as they go. From Zafir and Dani’s best friends, Jamal and Sorcha, individually they are part of the web that keeps the protagonists from falling apart. Separately there are small stories unfolding for each of them. Also, Dani’s sister Chloe and her fiancé Red show up. If you haven’t read the first book it won’t kill the reading experience, but I highly encourage a purchase of the first story, Get A Life, Chloe Brown.

Finally, real goals that aren’t grandiose. Sometimes in romance, okay a lot of times, especially with contemporary romance, we see big story lines with super high stakes and that’s supposed to be what draws in the readers. This didn’t have those grandiose gotta save my job/house/life and I still got sucked in. Not because I need the high stakes, but because the stakes weren’t that high, and the players still played. In the real world it’s not always about the biggest possibilities but sometimes the little steps (which equal big things) to an individual person. For Zafir it’s about gaining a little traction with his charity and for Dani it’s about nailing her role on a panel with her idol.

This is the perfect read for those who want a romance to get lost into, filled with modern day tech and fun. Hibbert in her dedication of the book mentions bleed for the words and the jokes, but ultimately everything is brilliant. Her writing style is reminiscent to me of other beautifully crafted stories, including one of my favorites Sherry Thomas. I can’t wait for Eve’s story and will continue mining Hibbert’s backlist until then.

For readers who enjoy Sally Thorne.

“What you get out of being loved, it’s supposed to be worth the compromise. When it’s good, it makes you want to compromise.”⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
I’m a sucker for a fake relationship romance & the second book in the Brown Sisters series delivered, exploring the deep vulnerability of love while portraying the pressures of academia, recovery from acute grief & the odd yet sometimes pivotal role social media can play in our lives.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
What I loved:⁣⁣⁣
- Dani is bisexual, Black & has a beautiful, real, full body. While she’s confident in her appearance & intellect, she’s also secretly hurting & guarding her heart after seeing her relationships fail when they’re strained by her commitment to her work as a professor & researcher. She’s also the one who’s anti-relationships—that’s refreshing to see not being cast in the man.⁣⁣⁣
- The banter: witty, sharp, sarcastic, the repartee between Dani & Zafir is delightfully laced with playful affection.⁣⁣⁣
- Zafir wears his heart on his big burly sleeve. He loves reading romance & believes in happily ever after. He’s a Pakistani teddy bear of a man whose body isn't a Calvin Klein model’s, who wants to teach boys to emote & grow into men free of toxic masculinity.⁣⁣⁣
- Representation: It's empowering & imperative that romance portrays all bodies as lovable, desirable & sexual. On this front, Talia inspires me & knocks it out of the park.⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
With her usual wit & sensitivity, Hibbert delves into heavy topics—grief, anxiety, panic episodes & toxic relationships, to name a few. I LOVE seeing this in romance. That said, I personally enjoyed the heaviness & humor balance *more* in GET A LIFE, CHLOE BROWN, which felt a bit funnier, a bit better at settling into the love & intimacy between its leads. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
In short: I continue to be in awe of Talia’s writing. While this book’s tenor feels a smidge heavier than Chloe Brown, I still recommend it! lt’s snappy, bright, real & sexy. I'm looking forward to hearing about Eve & seeing where the last Brown Sister takes us.
⁣⁣
Thank you to Avon & NetGalley for the early review copy—all opinions are my own!

So this is second book in Talia Hibbert’s The Brown Sisters series. Dani Brown is a witchy, nerdy college professor working on her tenure….we don’t get much detail of her life on campus outside of occasional lunches with her friend Sorcha and then eventually Zafir Ansari whom is a retired rugby player now security guard who becomes her “fake” boyfriend. Dani and Zafir decide to become a “couple” when they’re captured in a viral video of him “rescuing” her from their work building. Zafir who has a HUGE crush on Dani decides to ask her to fake being his girlfriend to get his struggling non-profit off the ground. What starts off as them having fake dates in order to make their relationship look as real as possible soon turn into more…. BUT Dani being the commitment-phobic woman that she is only wants one thing from Zafir and it isn’t a relationship.

Okay, what was a big turn off in the story for me was Dani herself. Bad enough we had to get through near 80% of the book for these two to even hook up which really isn’t a big deal because the cute funny banter between them eased some of that annoyance. BUT we read through a majority of this book with Dani literally being THAT deer caught in bright headlights. I mean Zafir’s feelings for her were bleeding off these pages but she was running around like “oh I just don’t do relationships", "I’m not good at them” and I was annoyed. And the other thing that rubbed me wrong was that ridiculous break-up towards the end because this man has severe anxiety and for her to just do what she did could have left him in a bad space but the author didn’t go that route so I guess….

Anyways, the book does has some good things within it. Zafir's work with young boys on their feelings, his relationship with the women in his family. He was just a good guy. Love the fact that the IR relationship here doesn’t center whiteness. More stories between Black and Brown people please.

I do feel like the story was unnecessarily stretched. I mean continuing to read Dani flail around this book was a struggle and her lusting after Zafir didn’t…couldn’t save her, at least for me. By the middle of the book, even that got a bit too much.

But I don’t begrudge the story. I think it had a good start and the humor here and there helps but somewhere in the middle…ending, I at least lost interest. Honestly, Zafir deserved better. I mean the man reads romance books...I wanted better for him.

*Thank you to the publisher for the opportunity to read/review.

Cop this right now!! Seriously, go grab your copy.

Not only is TAKE A HINT, DANI BROWN funny, witty, well written, and has a super cute cover, but Zaf is so effortlessly sexy, that I fell head over heels in love with him! He lit me on fire and had me melting in a puddle! Yup, all at once! He’s that good!

Dani is my spirit animal...right down to her zodiac sign! She’s phenomenal and hilarious. The total embodiment of an amazing friend and epic love interest. She certainly kept Zaf on his toes with her antics. I adored her!

The trope is one of my faves. The writing is beyond fantastic. It’s emotive and flawless. This book freaking rocked!
I absolutely love this series! I’m completely and totally obsessed with this series. I want more right now!! Seriously, if you’re looking for a read that literally has it all:
Amazing writing
Well developed characters
Entertaining plot
Flawless execution with some laugh out moments seamlessly woven into the dialogue
Look no further. This is the book for you!

Highly recommended!

The follow-up to last year's Get a Life, Chloe Brown, which I enjoyed, Take a Hint, Dani Brown follows Chloe's younger sister Dani, a driven Ph.D. student who prefers casual hookups to relationships, and her friend-turned-love-interest Zafir, a former rugby player who runs a nonprofit dedicated to teaching boys about managing their emotions and avoiding toxic masculinity, while also working security at Dani's university. The novel begins with Dani casting a spell (she's a witch!) to find the perfect hookup buddy, because she's afraid to enter into deeper relationships after being hurt in the past and internalizing the idea that she's too focused on her own life to give enough in a relationship. A few months later, Dani's trapped in an elevator during a fire drill at her university, and friend/security guard Zaf stages an overdramatic but sweet "rescue," which is captured on the cell phones of the undergrads outside. They're assumed to be in a relationship and given the moniker #DrRugBae and, although being social media famous is something neither of them are particularly looking for, Zaf discovers that it's actually a great way to promote his nonprofit. Dani and Zaf agree to enter into a fake relationship, but Zaf has been harboring feelings for Dani ever since they met, and despite her aversion to relationships, Dani soon begins to fall for Zaf as well.

I can be picky when it comes to contemporary romance, but I loved this one. I actually liked it a lot more than I did Chloe Brown; not that I didn't enjoy that one, but I wasn't a fan of Chloe's love interest. Both of Dani Brown's main characters are compelling, relatable, flawed, and trying to grow; there's also a strong focus on mental health, as Zafir is dealing with anxiety and grief, and Dani is working on the way she perceives herself after past relationship issues. Although I loved both main characters, I identified with Dani SO MUCH--we're both nerdy, obsessive, career-focused women who have trouble making time and emotional space for relationships. There were so many instances and descriptors of Dani that really resonated with me, and I felt so seen in this character. Like her, I've had a hard time picturing the kind of relationship where someone would not only not be bothered by my devotion to my career, but be supportive of it, and it was great to see a depiction of this on paper.

I also really liked that there was a reversal of traditional gender roles in Dani Brown, with Dani being commitment-averse and Zafir a relationships-only kind of guy; this theme is a constant throughout the novel. There's also a meta discussion about the power of romance novels themselves that I really loved (Zafir is a big fan; Dani doesn't read them and doesn't quite understand the appeal) and great discussion about the importance of work/life balance. The entire book felt extremely current and relevant in its themes; I can't wait to see what the next book, which focuses on youngest Brown sister Evie, will focus on.

I'd highly recommend this one to contemporary romance fans, and in particular to anyone who enjoyed Alisha Rai's Girl Gone Viral, as both books involve fake relationship hashtags that spiral out of control, and also focus heavily on mental health issues.

I received an eARC of Take a Hint, Dani Brown from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I loved this book! Zaf….sigh Zaf is a sweetheart who’s totally cuddly and alpha hotness combined and he completely stole my heart. This is the second book I’ve read of Talia’s and I love that her characters are wonderfully real with real issues they’re dealing with every day. Zaf has been dealing with his anxiety issues since he’s a kid and he continue to improv on how he manages his anxiety as a grown man. Dani has trust issues both with herself and especially with others. And, again, she continues to work thru her issues. At the heart of Talia’s stories are relationships and that Family is everything.

I would encourage everyone to read this book!

I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.

This book is such a fun, flirty and HOT romance 🔥 Loved Dani and Zaf so much. Their chemistry is off the charts and their witty banter throughout the book is perfection. Loved how this book deals with anxiety and brings to light what it’s like to suffer from a common mental illness. Adore this book and can’t wait for this author’s next book in the series! 5 stars!

Take a Hint, Dani Brown is a Friends to Lovers, Fake Dating Romance set in the worlds of academia and professional sports. Dani is a literature professor and PhD candidate and the hero Zafir is a retired rugby player who works as a security guard at her university and runs a non-profit on the side. They have a flirty friendship going until a photo of him rescuing her goes viral and the world assumes they're a couple.

Going viral seems to be a popular theme in Romance this year. I can't help but compare Take a Hint, Dani Brown to the latest in Alisha Rai's Modern Love series, Girl Gone Viral. (See my review here.) My brain just keeps falling down a #CafeBae vs #DrRugbae rabbit hole. In both cases I didn't love the second book in the series quite as much as the first. While Dani is funny, her humor is always a deflection so you can't really laugh with her. That, along with the themes of grief, anxiety and toxic relationships made this book feel not as light as the previous one.

I think the fact that the conflict is all internal, there's no action and the characters never go anywhere, (Okay that's an exaggeration, but still.) also adds to that heaviness. The obstacles in their relationship are his reluctance to acknowledge his past and hers to acknowledge her feelings. Both characters are stunted, but in opposite ways. Dani is all intellect and Zaf is all emotion.

The pairing of a closed off heroine with an emotional, HEA-loving hero is a reversal of expected gender roles, but it's far from the only one. The book challenges gender roles in lots of not-at-all subtle ways. It's literally both characters' job to call out misogyny and toxic masculinity, hers in her classes and his with the boys he mentors. The message is obvious, but it never felt heavy handed.

While I enjoyed Dani Brown and I continue to call Talia Hibbert one of my favorite Romance authors, I just didn't love this book. The first in the series, Get a Life, Chloe Brown, about Dani's sister was one of my favorites of 2019 and I think it had my expectations set too high. Dani just couldn't quite fill her big sister's shoes.

In her second installment of this amazing series, Talia Hibbert once again transports us into a world where the characters are vividly real and fantastically lovely. You immediately root for them to overcome their struggles and have a happy ending. The best thing about Talia Hibbert's books is that the character growth is both aspirational and very believable. There are no fairytales in these romance novels, but there are happy endings, which is what we all want, right?

I emphatically recommend this book, as well as its predecessor, "Get a Life, Chloe Brown." And, of course, I cannot wait for the next!

Take a Hint, Dani Brown is another smash by Talia Hibbert for me. It's snarky and funny and sharp, and I just adore her characters.

One of the best things about Hibbert's M/F romances is that they aren't the stereotypical weak woman needing to be rescued by the domineering man who never treats her as an equal. Dani and Zaf are on equal footing here. They both have issues to overcome, but they never--not once--treat the other as inferior or with little respect.

Their snarky banter disguised as flirting is so damn adorable. One part that was particularly poignant for me was when Zaf and Dani are discussing Zaf's affinity for romance novels:

"...I'll buy you a copy. No spoilers"

"Except for the happy ending."

He laughed.. "That's not a spoiler. That's a safety net."

And safety net it is. We all know, generally speaking, that the main characters in a romance story will find their happily ever after. It's the journey to that HEA and compelling characters that keep the reader interested. Hibbert hits all the marks here.

Another thing I love about Tibbert's stories is the rep you may not normally see in traditional romance novels. Take a Hint has bi rep, person of color rep, anxiety rep, to name a few.

I really do love the Brown sisters, their family, and their friends. I'm definitely looking forward to Eve's story.

To end my review, I leave you with one of my favorite lines form the book:

Faces were for sitting on, not for kissing.

Oh, Dani! You are too much!

I am so thrilled with this book. Witty, sarcastic, sweet, romantic, funny...This was everything I wanted in a summer-time read. It made me grin from the very beginning and I so so enjoyed it. I especially appreciate the diversity in this book...I enjoyed the first one, but I feel like Hibbert is hitting his/her/their stride and has really blossomed into one of my favorite authors. The characters are real, flawed people who are relatable and heartwarming. 5 full stars from me...A perfect beginning to summer!

I liked the first book in this series, but for me, this one was much better.

I really liked Dani. She's confident and smart and knows her worth. Zaf is a straight up marshmallow who loves romance books. Together there's loads of chemistry and support and conversations. I loved seeing the support of Dani's sisters and Zaf's family. It's always great to see a loving and accepting family who pushes the character when they need it.

Plot wise, it did feel a bit repetitive. Even with all of the conversations, there's a crap load of inner monologue and that did get a bit old. Dani's constant resistance to a relationship (even when she acknowledges how she's feeling) was also tiring. I wanted more of them together and in love at the end, not the break up, quick resolution and ending...although, I will say the epilogue was perfection.

Overall, it was a quick and enjoyable read with characters who were so easy to root for. I can't wait for Eve's book next.

**Huge thanks to Avon Books for providing the arc free of charge**

Thank you to NetGalley for an e-arc copy of this title.

Take a Hint, Dani Brown is the second in The Brown Sisters contemporary romance series. Set in the UK, the series follows the romantic escapades of, as the series title indicates, the Brown sisters. The previous book, Get a Life Chloe Brown focused on the eldest sister, Chloe but gave a glimpse of the heroine of this title, Danika. I enjoyed Chloe’s story a whole lot, but I have to say that Dani’s blew that out of the water.

Dani is a woman determined to reach her goals. She works hard at her university, teaching classes and earning her PhD. She doesn’t have time or patience for relationships if the past is anything to go on, but she wouldn’t mind someone to mess around with. Enter Zafir, the brooding security guard at the campus building where she teaches. He’s sexy and funny once you get past his gruff exterior. But Dani knows his type. He’s looking for the long term. The whole relationship package, which she is not about to give. But when a swift rescue ends up in as a viral “romance”, the two decide to fake their relationship for the sake of Zafir’s fledgling non-profit. The longer things go on, the less Dani is sure about what she wants out of her connection with Zafir or whether she wants things to end at all.

I was hooked from the get-go with this one. I enjoy some good fake dating if handled well and Hibbert did more than well. The story is told from both Dani and Zafir’s point of view and she does an excellent job making each voice distinct and memorable. Dani was outgoing and brash from page one. I loved how self-assured she was (save for in the romantic partner department). She never falters while going after what she wants and make no apologies for who she is.

Zafir was a swoonworthy hero. He’s protective and thoughtful without coming off as too needy or stalkery. He wants to take care of Dani in the best possible ways, without ever changing anything about her. The dynamic between them was wonderful. Not only was the chemistry off the charts, by they complemented each other so well. Dani brings Zafir out of his quiet shell and he, in turn, is a strong shoulder for Dani to lean on when she needs it.

The thing I think I like most about this series, and Hibbert’s writing, is that she doesn’t rely on cheap tricks or lazy misunderstandings to up the drama. Instead she nurtures her characters to grow with each other naturally. The dramatic moments aren’t just there for the sake of being there. They’re organic to the story and allow her characters to focus inward and become better.

If you’re looking for a sexy, sweet, funny story with lots of heart then I highly recommend Take a Hint, Dani Brown. Maybe you’ll take my hint and read the book?

Thank you NetGalley, Talia Hibbert, and HarperCollins Publishers for giving me this amazing opportunity to read this book.

I remember reading Get a life Chloe Brown by Talia for my book club and loving everything about it. I love romance novels and the way Talia writes, it makes me laugh all the time, all I did was laugh with the first book, and I was so excited when I got the chance to read Take a hint Dani Brown. I knew this one was going to be a hit as well, and it sure was. I had to stop myself from laughing while reading at night, lol, I really couldn’t help it. Dani is so different, she is eccentric, and very Intune with herself, which is very empowering. She is not a character to mess with, and I loved how fluid she is with her sexuality, which is very different for me.

One thing is for sure, Dani and Zaf as a couple was something I would never see coming, they are both so different. But then again like the saying says “Opposites attract”, and they for sure do. I don’t like giving things away, but this book was just EVERYTHING.

I was a huge fan of "Get a life Chloe Brown" by Talia Hibbert so when I found out there was another book coming in this "Brown Sisters" series I was so pumped! This book was the perfect escape and the ideal rom-com!
Can friends turned fake-lovers turn into real lovers? Or does that doom the chemistry?
WOW. Lots of steam (overboard steam!) in this one but what an incredible ride! Both Dani and Zafir were such strong characters I was never really sure who was more insecure or who was more in love. Can we talk about the steam again? Loved it, flew through it in 2 nights and can't wait for the 3rd installment! Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher and author for the e-ARC. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Usually when I read a book, I am able to write a review right after finishing it. But that has not been the case with Take a Hint, Dani Brown. I really enjoyed the story, but it is taking me some time to find the write words for this review.

Summary: In the second installment of the Brown sisters trilogy, PhD student Dani Brown has decided that relationships are not for her. When Zafir, the security guard in her building, rescues Dani during a fire drill, and the rescue video goes viral, Zafir and Dani decide to be in a fake relationship to help Zafir's rugby charity. But as their fake relationship evolves into something more, is Dani willing and ready to take a chance on love?

Review: First of all, I loved the diversity in this book! The story is beautifully complex with the perfect mix of lightheartedness and drama. Both Dani and Zafir are layered with well-developed back stories. I love how they challenge each other and both grew throughout the story. I also enjoyed revisiting the Chloe sisters and their antics. Parts of the story were explicit (a bit much at times) and frustrating, but it was another great summer read!

Take A Hint, Dani Brown is the refreshing, diverse rom-com that 2020 needs. Danika Brown, a workaholic academic with no interest in relationships, prays to the goddess Oshun for the perfect partner for casual sex. All signs point her toward her "work friend," Zafir Ansari, a broody former rugby player who reads romance novels and dreams of a happy ever after. What ensues is a mature, dynamic reexamination of the two characters' priorities and views on love, and when the couple finally make it work, the book is all the more rewarding for it.

Somehow, this delightful book even achieves the near-impossible by injecting new life into tried-and-true romance tropes--fake dating, friends-to-lovers--and causing genuine swoon-worthy moments. Even more unbelievable, though, it is never cheesy, and every moment where the characters share intimate details of their lives rings true. The handling of Zafir's anxiety is incredibly sensitive, Dani's insecurities about relationships feel heartbreakingly relatable, and the characters are hilarious too boot. Additionally, the steam-factor in this book is through the roof--one of the sexiest books I've ever read as an avid romance reader. I would recommend Take A Hint, Dani Brown to fans of Talia Hibbert's previous books and newbies alike. It functions perfectly as a continuation in the Brown Sisters series, but stands alone just fine as well. This is my new favorite romance!
