This was another fantastic installment in the Brown Sisters series.
Eve Brown has given up on another potential career. Her parents have decided to take action by cutting off her trust fund and no longer letting her live at home. While running away, she stumbles upon a Bed and Breakfast holding interviews for a chef. It isn't long before she's interviewing with the Jacob, the proprieter of the B&B. Jacob has already decided that Eve is the opposite of what he wants for his new chef. Unfortunately, he's desperate with a big festival coming up and an injury only makes him more desperate.
This was so fun and sweet and sexy. Talia Hibbert writes amazing heroines and heros. I can't wait to see what she writes next.

I don't know how Talia Hibbert does it, but every single book in this series manages to be even better than the last one and this was the perfect send-off to a fantastic trilogy of romance novels. Devastatingly funny, deliciously steamy and emotionally meaningful, and SUCH a pitch-perfect example of the grumpy/sunshine trope it made my cheeks hurt from smiling. The tension, banter and chemistry between Eve and Jacob MADE this book for me, but I did love the chance to see all of the Brown sisters together again! (And fingers crossed Tess, Mont and Alex are getting their own series if what I've seen whispers of is correct? Pretty please?)

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Another adorable story in the Brown Sisters trilogy! I really loved Eve and Jacob together and how they both slowly learned each other - it seemed really realistic and I loved the banter. I wanted more Mont and his sisters for sure! Definitely recommend if you've read the others, a really great addition!

I don’t even know what to say besides I loved this book, I loved the witty conversations between Jacob and eve, I loved the personal progression, and most of all I loved the inclusivity of the novel, there were characters of various races and sizes and different mental healths.

This was MY FAVORITE BROWN SISTER!!!! The Browns and their family have my heart forever. These are the most perfect romances ever written! They have heat, humor, family, plots, and all the feels!!! Start with Chloe and Red and you will never look back. These sisters and their guys have my favorite tropes!!!! MUST READ THE WHOLE SERIES....amazing!!!!!

Act your Age, Eve Brown that’s what her parents said. At 26, Eve Brown has quite literally fled a lot of career prospects, making her parents threaten to stop her trust fund and find something worthwhile to stick to for an year.
Eve Brown the youngest of the brown sisters as we get glimpses of her in the previous books is an absolute goofball, chaos personified , music addict and mother hen as Jacob Calls her for being the sweetest to help everyone❤️
Jacob Wayne is the grumpy owner of the bread and breakfast Eve stumbles upon one day and interviews for the chef job. Well opposed to what he shows the world, Jacob is silent, kind, funny and secretly a cinnamon roll .
Usually when Grumpy/Sunshine trope is followed, it is accompanied by tense silence and quite rude moments.
Here, Talia manages their differing personalities so well, their banter and easy moments are so freaking Delightful❤️😂Set in the cozy setting of a breakfast and bed, food fair , Balanced with emotionally deep scenes this book keeps you hooked and bam you are in love with these characters and all the magic they bring to the table.
Talia manages to write Autism rep quite well, with both the characters being autistic. (Own-Voices Rep)
Eve and Jacob’s easy camaraderie soon grows into something more, something worthwhile 🥰
I enjoyed this one so much for the fun banter scenes and just for the general the dose of laughter that was sprinkled throughout this book, will surely make you happy 💕

With this ends, Talia’s Brown Sister Series which I would recommend for great writing and romance, diverse characters and lots of adorableness❤️

I will read anything Talia Hibbert writes. What a perfect culmination of the Brown Sisters series. Every book steamier than the last, endearing and sharp and funny and swoony.

Fun dialogue , well-rounded characters, steamy love scenes, and just enough will they or won’t they to keep me turning pages. Evie is tired of being the family disappointment. It’s about time she grows up and gets her act together. But after she applies for a job and accidentally runs her new boss over, she seems further froM her goals than ever.

Jake likes life a certain way. Predictable, controlled, and people at a distance so they can’t walk away. Evie upends his life in the most delightful way, which makes him wonder if she could be the one he risks his heart for.

Even if you haven’t read the other two books in the Brown sisters' book, this is a must-read. Great for all romance collections.

Perfect cap to the Browns series! Eve's story might be my favorite of the three. Highly recommended.

Another phenomenal book from Talia Hibbert! There was one particular quote in the book that hit me like a brick: “Your abilities lie in the places people usually overlook, so you’ve been convinced you don’t have any at all, but you’re smart and you’re capable, and if people struggle to see that it’s their problem not yours.” If you like the Brown Sisters books this one will NOT disappoint!

Talia Hibbert has done it again. Act your age, Eve Brown is just as good as the first two books. It's an funny, sexy and unique enemies to lovers troupe. The ending of the Brown sisters series is bittersweet. I'm looking forward to a spinoff.

CWs: Instances of vehicular trauma, some graphic descriptions of injury (including concussion), some scenes containing graphic sex

This was such a delightful conclusion to the Brown Sisters trilogy. If you enjoyed “Get a Life” and “Take a Hint,” you will definitely enjoy this, because it has more of that trademark crass humor, witty banter, and plenty of steamy romantic scenes!

I really enjoy the set-up of this story, because Eve runs away to this picturesque, small town and fakes her way into being a chef at this charming bed & breakfast. There’s something soft and romantic about the actual setting itself, which nicely contrasts with all the chaos and shenanigans that closely follow on Eve's heels.

I can’t speak to the quality of the Autism representation, but I appreciate how Jacob was very upfront and unashamed about his Autism, how well he understands it as part of himself, and how he’s factored that part of himself into how he runs his business. There’s also a great exploration of Autism with Eve, who’s slowly discovering that part that part of herself as the story continues. And there’s even a bit of a conversation about how it’s much harder for women, especially Black women, to identify their Autism and actually get that diagnosis.

I also appreciate how Jacob and Eve both experience Autism very differently. It’s not that Eve begins to "recognize" herself in Jacob's behavior, because that’s very much not the case. It's important to show how Autism doesn’t just look like one thing and is very much not monolithic, so I appreciated seeing that distinction between the two of them.

All in all, Act Your Age is a really funny, chaotic romance. As a character, Eve is a very headstrong, no-filter type person who knows how to get herself in and out of really sticky situations. And like the previous books in the trilogy, it was nice to see the two romantic leads go back and forth and slowly but surely lower each other’s defenses. The grand gesture at the end was also really funny, and culminating in a big family moment with all of Eve’s sisters and their partners, who obviously the audience has grown to know and love in the previous books. I really appreciated the satisfaction of that full circle moment.

My only "issue" with the story is that it begins with this fight between Eve and her parents, and even though they come to an understanding at the end, it never feels like the *real* underlying issue is ever addressed or resolved between them. It seems to me like their initial argument was deeply tied to internalized ableism as well, and it would've been worthwhile to see them confront and address that. So in the end, I was missing that last puzzle piece.

Other than that, it was another solid romance from Talia Hibbert, whose backlist I will definitely be perusing after this. While I wouldn’t say this was my favorite of the trilogy, I still thoroughly enjoyed it and loved how it capped off the series as a whole!

It's not that Eve Brown doesn't want to succeed, it's just that her family has what seem to be impossibly high standards and it's always seemed better to float from one project to the next without truly failing. But when her parents cut off her trust fund payments until she can hold down a job for a year she has to come up with a new plan. The plan certainly doesn't include becoming the chef at a small town Bed & Breakfast owned by an humored and anal-retentive man, but after Eve hits said man with her car she feels sort of obligated to help him out until he's back on his feet. All Jacob Wayne knows is that he has been hit by a car, literally and figuratively. Eve makes Jacob all kinds of uncomfortable and if his arm hadn't been broken and his B&B wasn't in a tight spot she is the last person he would invite into his kitchen. However, as the two are forced into close proximity working with one another (and living adjacently once Jacob discovers Eve squatting in his upstairs sitting room) a grudging respect begins to bloom. For two people the world has often looked at as a little odd, can they overcome their own insecurities and trust one another in work and in life?

Yes, yes, yes. Three yeses for the third book in Talia Hibbert's series about the Brown Sisters. This is a humorous and touching contemporary romance with an enemies to lovers vibe that I think will satisfy romance enthusiasts and readers new to the genre as well. Eve and Jacob are quirky and cute only seem all wrong for each other while proving that not only can opposites attract, but sometimes it's the person you least expect who will balance you out like no other. I love the recognition of autism existing on a spectrum for our adult leads. Their autism is acknowledged as a part of who they are and how it has impacted (and enhanced!) the way they interact with the world. The relationship moves fast, but I got all the right warm and tingly feelings as Even and Jacob's relationship developed and I finished the book truly believing in their happily ever after.

This novel can be read as apart of the established series or as a standalone novel.

This is the 3rd installment to the Brown sisters series and I absolutely loved it

Eve starts out having lots of problems and learns Grows and falls in love.

This was a wonderful edition to this steamy series.

Talia Hibbert writes her best book yet with the third book in The Brown Sisters series, Act Your Age, Eve Brown. Moving, interesting, and incredibly sexy, Talia Hibbert nailed every aspect of this story.

I'm a big fan of Talia Hibbert's work, and I've enjoyed all of the books in The Brown Sisters series, but seriously, none of them hold a candle to Act Your Age, Eve Brown.

I was extremely excited to read this story because I love books with neurodiverse main characters. I'm really drawn to them, and I actively seek out romances with characters who are not neutrotypical. However, the intense chemistry and excellent writing is what made this story special.

Eve and Jacob were a great example of a soft enemies-to-lovers story with a sizzling initial attraction that doesn't detract from the relationship development. Sometimes, the author leads with insta-lust and it stunts the relationship development between the two MCs. However, though the chemistry was there from the start with Eve and Jacob, it was given time to slow-burn. I loved how their relationship grew and changed over time, and how their attraction simmered until it boiled over.

Both of these characters also carry baggage, but the story doesn't feel heavy. Talia Hibbert has a way of inserting just the right amount of humor into her stories, and I was reading this book with such a big smile on my face. The dialogue and banter between the two MCs were such a joy to read. I'm a dialogue junkie, and I love it when the author can carry a story through with witty conversation. Though the book touched on a number of serious topics, it didn't take itself too seriously.

The story is so cute that the heat really sneaks up on you. Talia Hibbert pulls no punches when it comes to writing her sex scenes, and I love her for it. I'm talking scorching hot chemistry. There are no silly euphemisms for sex, just enthusiastic SEX. Yes, yes, yes!

I was so enjoying this story that I was surprised when I had tears in my eyes near the end: the emotions really crept up on me. I felt my heart squeezing and squeezing, and I couldn't put it down in the last 20%.

Act Your Age, Eve Brown was simply a pitch-perfect story for my tastes. Sexy, bold, diverse, funny, and moving, I got everything I wanted and more from this story.

*Copy provided in exchange for an honest review*

A wonderful end to the Brown sisters trilogy from Talia Hibbert. While Dani will forever be my favorite, this story of finding love while finding out how you are will resonate.

Simply put, I absolutely love the Brown sisters. They are loving and wonderful, they have their flaws--as we all do--and they accept them the best they can. I have loved all of the Brown sister's books, but I think Act Your Age, Eve Brown is my favorite of the three. I find it especially appealing because of Jacob and his internal battle with being autistic. Eve is kind and sweet and she accepts Jacob as he is, and he in turn, begins to accept her, as well. This book just warmed my heart and it even brought a tear to my eye, especially because my stepson is autistic and Jacob reminds me of him. Loved it!!

Thank you Avon Books and Netgalley for an arc in exchange for an honest review.

I’ve loved all three of Hibbert’s Brown sisters. They were all amazing women in their own ways. Eve is so vulnerable when her story begins. As her parents see it she’s failed again and given up. So when they move to cut off her trust fund payments, she decides to get a job on her own to show them what she’s capable of. It’s a coincidence that she encounters Jacob and his B and B, but it seems to be fated. Despite their strange meeting (an interview and then Eve running Jacob over with her car) they seem to quickly develop a rapport. I’m not usually a fan of romances that escalate quickly, but this relationship was perfect. I just adored Eve and Jacob and how they were together. I loved how he always understood what she was trying to say without correcting or belittling her.

This book was just what I needed. I will read anything Talia Hibbert writes and I cannot wait for her next series. Everyone should grab a copy of Act Your Age, Eve Brown when it’s released on March 9th.

ALL OF THE STARS FOR EVE! Talia Hibbert, just take my money. Take my money, and give me Brown sisters, please. Everyone loves these sisters... can we birth more? Seriously. I don't know what I'll do now that the Brown sisters are complete.... can we get more stories from the spicy Brit?!

The problem with starting the year out with an absolutely amazing book is that I have to hope that everything else lives up to it.

In the third Brown sisters book, Eve gets a shocking ultimatum from her parents: figure out her life or no more trust fund (okay, it's more complicated than that, but that's what she hears). As she drives away in despair and fury, she finds herself in a small town with a lovely B&B that just happens to be hiring a new chef. To nobody's surprise, especially hers, she doesn't get the job...until she accidentally hits the gruff, grumpy owner with her car and has to take care of the B&B until he gets back on his feet. Until then...she can hide from her family in a random town miles away from anyone who knows her.

Eve and Jacob are my favorite. I say that about every Hibbert couple but this time it might even be true...at least for now. They have their own messy personalities and personal issues to deal with and each goes through some serious growth that is both fantastic and necessary. And the banter. Top. Notch. And I really, really hope that the Montrose siblings are the center of Talia's next series. Or just Skybriar in general. Love it so much.

CW: Discussion of toxic parenting; mention of panic attacks; unacceptable commentary about a person with autism (checked); abandonment issues; broken limb; concussion; I'll add more if I remember them...

Thanks to either Netgalley or Edelweiss for providing a digital copy of this book even though I primarily read it in print (thanks to HarperCollins).
