TW: childhood neglect, anti-autistic ableism
This book was amazing, undoubtedly my favorite from this adorable series and one of my top romance books of the year. Talia Hibbert is becoming a new favorite of mine, she manages to make effortlessly funny characters and stories with amazing steamy scenes! She's mastered that balance, and I think this book in particular really boasts that skill. I've got so many positive things to say about this book.
To start, I LOVED the music choices. As you can probably see on the adorable cover, there are music notes, and for the first time I actually enjoyed/recognized most of the music mentioned! She mentioned amazing artists like Teyana Taylor, The Internet, Ravyn Lenae, Mariah Carey, etc. The musical choices really added to the story and especially seeing songs I already knew made me understand the scene's tone far better.

Second, the character's chemistry was amazing! Leading up to when they finally get together it feels like a very genuine connection is growing. The book didn't need to convince the reader they wanted to get together, because their feelings slowly grew together from the beginning of the book. It felt like they were inevitably getting together, so it was a believable relief when they finally did.

I really appreciate that she makes sexy books that include marginalized communities. It shows a lot more dedication to reality and her readership than many romance authors, who only write from their personal experience instead of letting their readership see themselves getting a sweet, sexy romance with a happy ending. I can't speak on her representation of people on the autism spectrum in this book, but I will say that everything was dealt with care and no judgment. Talia Hibbert is very good at representing communities who are not typically represented in romance, which I think adds to her importance in the romance community.

Finally, I love Hibbert's humor that really came through in this series! It made every page, either POV such a delight to read. This whole book was a sweet funny treat! Hibbert makes somewhat crazy scenarios plausible and lovable. Eve is undeniably my favorite Brown sister, her lovely, bubbly personality made her really stand out and shine bright in this book. Her story was the perfect conclusion to the incredible Brown Sisters series. I'd highly recommend picking up the whole series, and this adorable book on March 9th 2021!!

Talia Hibbert presents another book that both manages to be light hearted and warming while also creating complex characters. A great addition to the Brown sisters trilogy.

Thank you Talia Hibbert for the Brown sisters. I love this series and reading book three has only brought me more joy. One thing I love in romance is watching characters figure out how they express love, how they receive love, and how to navigate their feelings and the feelings of others. It was a joy to see Eve succeed and to see Jacob open up to someone new. And this is HOT. There were times I thought my iPad would spontaneously combust.

Hibbert's The Brown Sisters series is sexy and fun to read. I love her diverse characters. I thoroughly enjoyed this entire series, but I think this one may be my favorite!

Talia Hibbert's writing is so consistent. In her third installment of the Brown Sister's series, she charms readers with Eve and Jacob, two protagonists on the spectrum. Is it formulaic? Yes. Is it kinda cheesy? Also yes. But this is what her readers have come to love and expect. The formula works, and delivers a fresh, feminist, body-positive, romance.

Act Your Age, Eve Brown is fantastic! It features Autistic adults finding love. It shows them being perplexed by dating and being sexually active adults just like the majorityof adult society. It also addressed some of the challenges they face. What I loved is that Ms. Hibbert makes them full, well rounded characters. Thank you for getting it right.
If you are a fan of Romance books and Rom-Coms definitely add these to your list.

I was incredibly excited for the last of the Brown sisters, and this didn’t disappoint. This was such a slow burn, but so incredibly wholesome. It had me grinning the whole time, and I loved Eve and Jacob both together and separately, which is always a nice plus in the romance genre. Eve’s growth was so much fun to watch, and it was such a nice conclusion to the trilogy.

Thank you, Talia Hibbert, for brightening up my day with this one!

Get a life, Chloe Brown and Take a hint, Dani Brown were so good and Talia Hibbert didn't disappoint with Act your age, Eve Brown.
I listened to the audiobook version of the first two, but I read the third one and it was even better.
When I think it's the last one of the Brown sisters books it made me sad because I adored these books so much.

This one is as addicting as the two first books. This romance is so FUNNY and so sweet!
I was so happy to finally meet Eve, she is such a unique and loveable character. I loved to see her grow and evolve in this book.
We saw Jacob struggling with his emotions, it was so important and really touching.

The love-hate relationship between Eve and Jacob lead to so many funny situations and I LOVED it!
We got a beautiful happy ending for Eve and I'm so proud of her!

In the book, Talia Hibbert wrote about failing, and this was so a beautiful message. Failing doesn't have to be a bad thing when, after it you find your way!
OUT MARCH 9th 2021 !!!

Hi Eve. I'd like to be your friend. I met your sister Chloe not too long ago and she was delightful too!

Oh readers - if you're looking for laugh out loud fun with heart then this book is definitely the read for you. As someone who reads dark reads after dark reads, it's so nice to cleanse that creepy palate with something light hearted and FUN. Hibbert has secured her spot in my heart as one of my favorite romance writers. She brings heart touching on sensitive subjects in such a way that you can't help but feel like you love bucket has been filled.

You really WANT to get to know the Brown sisters. Eve is quite the character and I absolutely adore her and Jacob. Two puzzle pieces that just absolutely fit together in all the best ways. And PHEW those steamy sex scenes. I don't think I've read such long ones (and with so much dialogue!) in a hot minute. I believe in communication in ALL areas but I almost felt like that roommate that could hear everything through the thin walls and was trying to cover my head with my pillow. Hahahaha.... and dildos always make for a snort worthy scene.... and so much more. *wink*

Is this it for the Brown family? I still need to go meet Dani but I'm already saddened that we don't get anymore. Hibbert - introduce us to the rest of the family please!

This book was so adorable and so precious. It was so steamy 🥵 and hilarious. Truly the PERFECT book to end the Brown Sisters Series.

I literally cannot think right now because my head is just filled with Eve and Jacob and just how amazing their chemistry was.

This is the type of books that will make you delete all your online dating accounts because you know you're not about to find something THIS cute on there.

A wonderful conclusion to one of my all time favorite series, Act Your Age, Eve Brown was incredible!

This book follows the youngest Brown sister, Eve, and her attempt to literally "act her age." She is tired of her family treating her like a child, and decides to leave the house and seek out a long lasting job. This new career choice comes at the hand of Jacob, and the charming Bed & Breakfast he owns. Their relationship starts off interesting to say the least, as Eve hits Jacob with her car and is (hesitantly) hired at the B&B.

This enemies to lovers story has the same heart (and steaminess) that Talia Hibbert is excellent at writing. The continuation and conclusion to The Brown Sisters series is one full of humor, romance, and family. You will not want to miss the finale!

This is about Eve, the youngest Brown sister, who has abandoned dozens of career paths at the frustration of her parents. When they give her an ultimatum, Eve leaves to find herself getting a job as a chef at a Bed and Breakfast. The grumpy owner of the B&B, Jacob, is annoyed by the sunshiney disposition of his new chef, but slowly starts finding her irresistible. 👀

I loved seeing how these two characters come together. Jacob is a grump with a sweet cinnamon roll center, and Eve is a ray of sunshine with a heart of gold. The dynamic between these two is especially fantastic because of the autistic rep. It was great to see how this neurodivergent couple communicated with each other, and so important to see autistic characters deserving of romantic love. ❤️

This final installment of the Brown sisters series cameos some of our fav characters from previous books, and was just a delight. It comes out March 9, 2021.

TLDR review: ADORBS! ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you to Netgalley and Avon for the eARC in exchange for an honest review.

Act Your Age, Eve Brown was quite the finale to this series. Talia Hibbert knows how to write a well-written, diverse, hilarious, heart-melting romance that will keep you flying through the pages.

This story follows the youngest Brown sister, Eve. Her life is a mess, and her parents are forcing her to grow up and prove herself. Jacob is the owner of a Bed and Breakfast, and is looking for an open chef. When Eve arrives for the interview, and Jacob turns her away, she accidentally hits him with her car. He breaks his arm, and the B&B needs help, and Eve tries to help. Their animosity for each other grows into something deeper, with a heat neither of them can ignore...

I absolutely loved the characters in this story. Eve with her purple hair, witty and sarcastic personality, and bubbly charm is impossible not to love. Jacob is yet another book boyfriend to add to my list. He's sweet, thoughtful, caring, and funny.

The romance was great, and it got STEAMY. I love how sex-positive Talia Hibbert is, she knows how to write the perfect romantic scenes, and a couple to root for. Their banter and tension was everything.

I also appreciated the autism rep! Although I myself am not on the spectrum, it was really nice to see it represented in a romance. I hope to see it more often in fiction.

Overall, this was a fantastic read. I was sucked in from beginning to end. I highly recommend this book.

3.5 stars

I loved the first two books in this series. The characters in the first two, specifically the females were super engaging, easy to relate to and complete bada** chicks. This one was so meh for me and I'm so bummed about it!! I wanted to love Eve, and at times I did but I just didn't get the burn of the romance that I was thinking I would get. I did love how the story ended and I loved how it all wrapped up, but I did not enjoy getting there as much as the first two. However, I think this is the case of right book, wrong time? I'm just not into this slow burn of a romance. I will still continue to read anything the author puts out and I did enjoy this. Just not like the first two...

It's no surprise that this book is excellent! Eve Brown, the third Brown sister, can't get her family to take her seriously. After jumping between another career, Eve decides it's time to be serious, so when she walks into a job interview at a B&B, she decides to stick it out and prove she can commit to something. Jacob Brown, the owner of the B&B is grumpy, and the last thing he needs is the chaos of Eve Brown. Or does he? This was delightful!

Read this book in just a few hours and I loved everything about it!! The characters are impeccable and so, so sweet. I want to be friends with them all. The representation of autism was amazingly done. I will be recommending this book to so many people!

How does Talia Hibbert keep writing better and better books? I did not think it was possible to love a Brown sister more than I loved Dani Brown, but I have been proven wrong. I love Eve and Jacob’s banter. The dialogue is witty and so sharp. She has written two lovely characters with humor and heart, both suffering from personal trauma. But their capacity to make space for each other is endless. I absolutely love this book and I cannot wait to shove it into everyone’s hands.

I just finished, Act Your Age, Eve Brown, the final book in the Brown sisters trilogy.

I think this is my favorite of the 3 which is saying a lot because I absolutely adored book 1!

In this book, we finally get to see the story of youngest Brown sister. Eve is the bubbly free spirited baby sister. She moves from job to job, declaring each as her next big thing! Her family humors until they don't. Mom and Dad tell her it's time she get serious and settle into career or they will cut her off financially.

She stumbles into a cooking job at a charming B&B despite, Jacob, the owner, thinking she's a vapid air head who might ruin his business.

Learning that Jacob has ASD, helps Eve. Discovering the things made her feel like an outsider looking in may not be "odd" after all.

As someone who is ND, this book hit me squarely in my feels. I appreciated the representation not just of female autistics but of BLACK female autistics which I'm not sure I've ever seen repped in this way.

It has been a complete delight to go this journey with Chloe, Dani, Eve! ❤️

This was an excellent installment in the Brown sisters series - I'm so sad that it's over! Fun, loving, but not very serious Eve is given an ultimatum by her parents - get a job and commit to a career. Upset after the confrontation, Eve finds herself driving to the Lakes District and interviews on a whim for a chef job at a B&B for proprietor Jacob Wayne. You know where this is going - and it does not disappoint!

When Eve's parents give her an ultimatum, she does what she does best: run away from her problems. How is she supposed to hold down a job for a whole year? And how is she supposed to find a place to live with barely any savings? Luck is on her side when she stumbles across a position as a chef at a B&B. Although, it's maybe not so lucky when she hits the owner of the B&B with her car. Eve sticks around to help, mostly because she feels guilty, and Jacob couldn't be unhappier - Eve goes against the order, organization, and consistency that Jacob loves. But if Jacob hates her so much, why can't he stop thinking about her?

Talia Hibbert does it again; I loved this book. It was warm, it was funny, it was the perfect amount of smutty. There was some dialog in there that had me laughing out loud.

This was an interesting book to read after having just finished The Kiss Quotient and The Bride Test - two books written by an autistic woman. It was interesting to see how little Act You Age, Eve Brown delved into how autism can affect relationships (particularly sensory issues) compared to how much it was covered in Helen Hoang's books.
