I wanted to read this series as my goal last year was to discover new authors and this series have been all over the community. I loved the first book, Dani and Zaf own my heart so I was so excited and sad to read Eve’s story and say goodbye to the Brown Sisters.

This book has two points of view. The first is Eve Brown. She is the youngest of the Brown Sisters and she is a certified hot mess. No matter how hard she strives to do right, her life always goes horribly wrong – so she gave up trying. But when her personal brand of chaos ruins an expensive wedding, her parents draw the line. It's time for Eve to grow up and prove herself – even though she’s not entirely sure how. The second point of view is Jacob Wayne. He is in control. Always. The bed and breakfast owner’s on a mission to dominate the hospitality industry and he expects nothing less than perfection. So when a purple-haired tornado of a woman turns up out of the blue to interview for his open chef position, he tells her the brutal truth: not a chance in hell. Then she hits him with her – supposedly by accident. Now Jacob’s arm is broken, his B&B is understaffed, and the dangerously unpredictable Eve is fluttering around trying to help. Before long, she’s infiltrated his work, his kitchen – and his spare bedroom. Jacob hates everything about it. Or rather, he should. Sunny, chaotic Eve is his natural-born nemesis, but the longer these two enemies spend in close quarters, the more their animosity turns into something else. Like Eve, the heat between them is impossible to ignore – and it’s melting Jacob’s frosty exterior.

I really enjoyed this book, I thought it was fun, inclusive, flirty and a really strong storyline. I love the humour that Eve has and that she loves to make people laugh. Eve is such a strong woman who I want to be friends with. I want to be friends with all the sisters please. I love all the storylines in this series and I love how Talia Hibbert managed to write mental health so damn well. You can really see from the characters perspective that mental illness is much more than people think. I love how the sisters interact together and how Chloe and Dani were so worried about Eve and if she joined a sex cult. This book was fast-paced but didn’t feel rushed. The whole way through this book I was rooting for Eve and Jacob. I loved the fact that Eve wasn’t scared about how Jacob came off cold and exterior and just felt guilty for hitting him with the car. Jacob was so sweet and that man knows how to use his words. I just love that Eve joked about him being a robot but then he literally sees her for the first time and malfunctions.

I don’t think there are any weaknesses to this book, it just wasn’t my favourite of series (DANI AND ZAF OWNED MY HEART AND SOUL). I cannot wait to read more of Talia’s work and making me fall in love with more of the fictional men that she has created.

I love, love, love this series! I think this is the funniest of the three. I absolutely love the couple's dynamic and relate a lot the the neurodivergent aspect and the self discovery Eve goes through. Rereading this series on audio has made me love them even more.

lovely read, good but not great. This book follows a closer format to dani brown (w a slower building relationship that blossoms in act 2 and a near end of book big conflict). it includes autistic representation and a final all encompassing feature with the other two sisters and their partners! a good conclusion to the brown sisters trilogy.

This is the third book in the "Brown Sisters" Trilogy. This story follows the youngest sister, Eve Brown who has struggled to get a grip on life and find her calling. Her parents challenge her to find that passion and she ends up applying to the chef position at a cozy Bed&Breakfast Cottage outside of her hometown. She then meets the broody, attractive B&B owner and the rest is history! I absolutely love the plot and cast of characters! The autism representation that is a factor of the book, not the whole plot is amazing too! If you want fluff that will rot your teeth i highly recommend

I absolutely adored this book. One of my favorite things about all three Brown sister books was that Talia Hibbert not only wrote the sisters as complex characters, but also their love interests. None of the men in these books were perfect, none of them had their shit together, and all of them needed to learn how to grow. I think Jacob's story was especially enjoyable. His frosty banter with Eve was so entertaining, and their snark together was hilarious and so perfect. Both characters had a lot to work through to be together, but the way they reasoned it out together and both decided that yes, it was fast but no, that didn't mean it wasn't real and worth it was great.

I enjoyed this book -- and the series. One thing that I like about this series is the conflict is resolved quickly and realistically. The writing was amazing, the scharacters were good and their relationship was adorable, and the plot was good. This was a great lighthearted and fun read.
