This was by far my favorite of the the Brown Sisters books. This book focuses on Eve Brown, a chaotic, but lovable woman just trying to find her place in the world. After Eve's parents cut her off financially and tell her she needs to finally grow up and figure her life out, Eve lands a chef job at Jacob Wayne's Bed and Breakfast. Jacob is the opposite of Eve in many ways--he's meticulous with a tough exterior and wants nothing to do with Eve, but as Jacob and Eve begin to spend more time together, they discover that they may have more in common than they thought.

This romcom features some of my favorite tropes including enemies-to-lovers, grumpy/sunshine, and forced proximity. I loved that the other Brown sisters also made small appearances in this book too. Overall, I really enjoyed this Brown sister trilogy and greatly appreciated the neurodivergent , disability, and mental health representations!

My lucky stars aligned and I won an ARC of this book from Goodreads.
He’s grumpy and she’s sunshine. The best romcom trope, in my opinion
I love the Brown sisters series, and Talia saved the best for last. Eve and Jacob are so wonderful and funny. Reading their love story made my heart so happy. I love the B&B setting. I don’t have a single complaint about this book and I can’t wait for others to experience it too!

I don't understand anyone who claims this one is better than Dani Brown. There were a total of 3 steamy scenes that yes, did deliver, but meh, not as strong of a connection as I felt with Zaf and Dani in book 2. Eve is super relatable, and I did laugh out loud a bunch throughout, even in the epilogue. I love how honest Eve and Jacob are with each other and their discussions about having autism. Eve's character development was super heartwarming to read about as well. I did enjoy my time reading this one, but I couldn't help but compare it to Take a Hint, Dani Brown, which is one of my all-time fave romances.
