I adored this book! Eve was honestly kind of insufferably entitled at the start (which I know is the point) and I almost DNFd at one point, but I pushed through because so many people say this is their favourite of the series and I’m so glad I did! I I loved Eve’s growth throughout the series, which included her growing confidence in herself and her abilities. Without giving anything away this was hands down one of my FAVOURITE endings of a romance book ever. It wasn’t cliched, it wasn’t unrealistic, it was just SO PERFECTLY Eve and Jacob 🥹 it’s the reason this book just pips Dani’s at the post for being my fave of the series!

With this series Talia Hibbert has cemented herself as being one of my favourite romance authors. The tenderness that she manages to inject in her stories without making them saccharine or try-hard is second to none!

This one didn’t grab my attention as quickly as the previous two books in the beginning but I really enjoyed this one too! Eve’s growth is so good and her and Jacob are so witty. The spice was hot af! Third act breakup is quickly and believably resolved. More of a fight than a breakup tbh. Overall, very enjoyable.

A childish woman comes across a hot but infuriating B&B owner, finds a job

that turns from a short quilt-generated pitstop into a passionate career

, falls in love and has multiple self-discoveries together.

"Look," he said the word a rasp, "There are many ways to fail."
"Trust me, I'm aware."
"And very few of them are actually controllable. Life has too many moving parts." He managed to sound resentful at the very nature of human existence, which Eve found impressive despite herself.

Besides the swoonworthy romance and delightfully strong nature of the main characters (they are willing to put a lot of effort into becoming better versions of themselves but also take care of themselves and each other), Hibbert writes representation admirably well into her book. Like in the previous books about the Brown sisters, Eve's book also addressess disabilities and different minority identities with respect. Hibbert is a master writer of representation that lives and breathes both respect and normalization of the different needs of people. Her writing feels like a warm hug in a world that too often offers only a cold shoulder to anyone who struggles to fit themselves into the molds offered to us.

What a delightful read! I really enjoyed this book. The characters were amazing and felt like real people. The banter was great, the premise was great, and the enemy to lovers felt natural and not forced. It also had me laughing out loud as several different points.

With the disability/queer/BIPOC rep you won’t want to miss this one!

Tropes: enemies to lovers, grumpy sunshine, forced proximity

Does contain a third act break up but it’s quickly resolved and gives a very cute HEA.
