Eve's book is the best of the three which is a monumental statement considering the entire series is mind-blowing. I love soft dorks and Eve and Jacob are soft dorks. The embody the smol sunshine and tol angery trope SO WELL. IRFSELRJESLRG TALIA GIVE US MORE WE BEG

What an absolute joy bomb!!! I tore through this one so quickly, because I just could NOT get enough of these characters! 

So this has some of my absolute favorite tropes: small town romance (at a BED AND BREAKFAST!), fish out of water (Eve: WTF am I doing?!) and forced proximity (hahaha hope you don't mind me living here!). The banter is sparkling and laugh out loud funny. There is character growth for alllll involved, from the main characters to their family members.

If you haven't read Talia Hibbert yet - what are you waiting for?! You should read allll of the Brown sisters' books, but I have to say that I personally think Hibbert saved the best for last - I was completely swooning through this whole read.
