This book was really great. A romance novel exactly to my taste. Really great chemistry, really funny and also serious and interesting. It is a classic romance novel but still it somehow felt fresh.
I liked it better than Get A Life, Chloe Brown but I definitely want to reread that book now. Also I haven't read the Dani Brown book yet but I'm super excited for that one!
I don't know much else to say about this book except go read it. Or listen to it as an audiobook which is what I did. :)

I haven’t read the other books in the series, but I found that didn’t really matter. The story was sweet and I devoured this book!

This book was so cute. An easy quick read with loveable characters. The banter was fun and adorable. Loved loved loved Eve and Jacob. Phenomenal, funny writing. Just so feel good.

I didn't like this one as much as the first two Brown Sisters books, but I really love Talia Hibbert's writing. It fell a little flat in terms of development and predicability

I was correct - enjoyed this way more than Dani's story and I think it was entirely down to the fact I read it instead of listening.
Very cute, suitably steamy, and an overall enjoyable read. I'm struggling with my rating (4 or 5 stars??) because whilst I did have a good time reading this, I think the issue was maybe a bit too much telling and not enough showing. Specifically about Eve's issues. It made her character growth a bit meh because we didn't see any contrast, we were just told about it. Which is great for Eve but bland for the reader. It doesn't have enough meat to it, there's no emotional build up. It was also a little bit insta-love. The book takes place over a two/three WEEK period and the OTT loveydovey shit at the end was A Bit Much for me. I understand they were together, like, all day every day and that can be intense and people can bond quickly, but I still would have preferred a bit of a longer time frame.
On the positive side, the banter between the characters was a highlight, and I raced through it in one sitting.
5*'s, just because I want to start the year on a high (though I'm not sure it really deserves it).
Edit, 5 minutes later: I've already changed my mind. 4 stars.
