I have so enjoyed Talia Hibbert’s series featuring the Brown sisters—Get A Life, Chloe Brown, Take A Hint, Dani Brown, and now this one. These books are funny, emotional, steamy, and surprisingly sensitive, featuring female and male characters who don’t have it all figured out, and who confront physical and emotional issues and challenges.
This book may be my favorite of the series so far. Eve is quite flighty. She tends to get bored easily and shift from career to career. When her stint as a wedding planner goes a bit awry (she was looking out for the doves), her parents issue an ultimatum—get a steady job for a year or no access to her trust fund.
When she interviews for a chef position at a bed and breakfast, her purple-haired, free-spirited self quickly irritates the manager, Jacob, who prizes order and decorum above all else. (It helps with his autism, too.) But when their follow-up encounter ends with Eve hitting Jacob with her car (accidentally?), it’s clear they have a situation on their hands. Jacob needs a chef and some help around the B&B, Eve needs a job. Problem solved, right?
But as much as everything Eve is and does annoys Jacob to no end, why can’t he take his eyes off her? And as much as his constant demand for perfection and his micro-management drives Eve crazy, why can’t she stop finding him irresistible?
I really thought Act Your Age, Eve Brown was great. I loved the characters and love the way Hibbert balances fun and seriousness, romance and steam. While the books are connected by virtue of the protagonists being sisters, any of them is a standalone, so if you’ve not read one yet, pick up a book and meet the Brown sisters!
