I really enjoyed this one! I personally identified more with Eve's journey than with the other sister's journeys, but Chloe is still my favorite! This one was fun, and I sped through it. I'll miss the Brown sisters. Talia, give me MORE.

Loved this book! I have really enjoyed this whole series and I think each has been better than the last. Eve is the youngest sister, who has always been flighty and never has been taken seriously even by herself. On a whim she leaves town and takes a job as a cook at a B&B. which owned by a hot guy on the autism spectrum.
As you can always expect from Talia Hibbert, this book is hilarious and sexy. Her characters are always fully formed, interesting and real-seeming. I loved the way she handled characters' autism/difference. It was simultaneously no big deal but also essential to who they are.
You can definitely read this book without having read the others first but really, just read them all!

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.

Well this was an absolute corker of a romance novel. It started slightly slow for me, and I was a little worried I wouldn't like the main hero, but oh baby, it sped up and oh baby, did I love him or what.

Also, I ADORED Eve Brown. I have read the other two books in the trilogy, and while I liked Chloe and Dani just fine, Eve was...sigh of happiness. Cute and quirky and so so so lovable.

And the hero + heroine = sparks and hearts and smokin' sexy times.

(I can't speak to how accurate the autism content is, but I really liked that part of the story, and I trust Talia Hibbert; she has a good track record when it comes to her research.)

Thanks to the publisher and to NetGalley for the ARC.

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!
