At first I wasn’t quite sure what to make of emotive, larger-than-life Eve. But much like she does with stoic Jacob, she grew on me. When a purple-braided whirlwind appears in his office to apply for an open chef job, B&B owner Jacob definitely has no intention of hiring her. But somehow she ends up working for him. And improving everything she touches, with her warmth and good intentions. Is it any wonder that he’d fall for her?

Eve’s parents have just delivered an ultimatum: get a job and keep it for a year, or be cut off from the family trust fund. So how fortuitous that she should stumble into a help wanted sign in a quaint village. Her new boss, Jacob, seems like a buttoned-down robot. A cute robot. But maybe there’s more to him.

This was a very sweet story of self-discovery and growth for both characters. I’ve enjoyed spending more time with the eccentric Brown family.

Thanks to Netgalley, the publisher, and the author for the ARC to review.

I've adored following the adventures of the Brown sisters through Hibbert's trilogy (and I hope she continues it - maybe with a series focusing on Montrose and his sisters?)
Each Brown sister has her own unique problems to overcome, and does so with the help of a fabulous man she meets along the way. Eve's story is no exception, and I loved watching her blossom at the B&B (did I know this series was set in England? Now I have to reread the others!)
Well-written, funny, and a delight to read!
