Danika Brown isn’t looking for love: she’s looking for a friend with benefits. She doesn’t do love, or romance of any kind, and that has doomed recent dalliances with lovers of both genders. But she puts her request out to the universe to help her find someone with the same needs and wants that she has.
And the universe seems to hear her when hunky Zafir Ansari, a security guard at the university where Dani works, rescues her from an incident during an emergency drill. They’ve already been flirting up a storm, but when video of Zaf carrying her goes viral, they even get shipped on the internet as #DrRugbae (Zaf used to be a professional rugby player).
Surprisingly, it is Zaf who comes up with a request: that he and Dani fake a relationship to help generate more publicity for his children’s sports charity. Dani figures this is the perfect way to get what she wants and help Zaf, but she doesn’t realize he’s an actual romantic at the same time. Won't love just complicate things yet again?
As Zaf tries to break down Dani’s resistance to romance, both are struggling with their own emotional issues. But will love—and stubbornness—help them overcome their problems and point them toward happy-ever-after, or will everything fall apart first, including them?
Take a Hint, Dani Brown was a romantic, enjoyable, emotional, and immensely steamy story. I love the diversity that Talia Hibbert brings to her characters and appreciate how she’s willing to tackle emotional issues while entertaining and generating some heat. I also love that she gives her male characters real depth, too. (If you’ve not read her first book, Get a Life, Chloe Brown, featuring one of Dani's sisters, check that out, too.)
If you like your rom-coms with extra steam and some depth to boot, take a hint with Dani Brown!!
