Really enjoyed this one, mainly because of the autistic MCs. The spice was good too ;) very Hallmark movie feel. Very cozy read.

This was a wonderful story with such loveable characters! The autism rep was masterfully done and I very much appreciated seeing these characters I could relate to have such meaningful discourse about life, love, and the future. Such a cozy read.

It always take me a while to get into her books for some reason but once I do get into them I am hooked. But I'm not sure if it's because I read this series back to back or what but the way she formats her books was starting to get repetitive. Meaning I've caught onto the pattern of the two characters essentially not feeling each other at first but for some reason during all this anguish still develop an attraction for one another. Then throughout the book they're hiding their feelings from one another because both parties feel the other doesn't feel the same way plus both also have their own baggage to assort so the idea of forming a romantic relationship would be outlandish. But then they can't hide their feelings any longer which leads to steamy sex then everything's all good and sweet and them boom third act breakup just for it to get resolved in a chapter or two. Then they live happily ever after.
Now of course that's just the gist of it. There is much more to this book then that synopsis. It still contains the same Talia charm, humor, and found family. And I'm not by all means saying this story feel flat for me I just thought it was fine and I completely understand why people love this book. (Personally wasn't a complete fan of Jacob; at times I thought he was too mean to her)
Eve was completely relatable. I resonated with the "failed her driver's test seven times" line that resonated with me. She's just a ball of energy and she seem like someone I'd definitely be friends with. Her having trouble with succeeding hit like a brick. We love Eve over here!
I like how she's able to distinguish all the sisters and their love interest. All their personalities are different. And I admire her also tackling challenging topics in her books as well. Oh and also I like how Tailia doesn't emphasize marriage as being the happily ever after for these couples. Not once did anyone get married and I thought that fit the story's circumstances; so good on her for that. I'll definitely be reading more of her books because my goodness she's so funny and writes good banter.
But like we never got an update on Jacob's arm. Did it eventually heal. Like what happened?

talia hibbert offers the readers yet another rom-com masterclass in act your age, eve brown!
eve and jacob are stellar leads, and the supporting characters also leap up off of the page. production companies everywhere need to wake tf up and option this series for either tv or film!!!
evejacob's chemistry was equally sweet and sexy. their joint emotional journey, and development waS utterly delicious, which made the sex scenes x100 sexier. eve is so bold and funny - and super relatable, especially during her struggles to find a career that she excelled in. i adored that talia hibbert explored how the symptoms of autism may present differently in women and jacob's discussions about this with eve where so tender and written with care <3
as stated in the text, jacob is king of boundaries, first of his name - and he certainly lives up to both this title and his standing as a king. again, hibbert is a rom-com icon and legend! jacob's grumpiness comes across as very endearing..as the story continues, the layers of jacob are expertly peeled back. i could hear his accent in my head whenever his dialogue popped up lol.
the only thing that stopped me from giving a 5 star rating was the dildo sex scene. idk for some reason, it just ruined the flow of the writing for me. the table sex scene, however was top tier

This trilogy is an instant comfort read for me. Talia Hibbet writes such beautifully diverse and heartwarming romance that always feels like a warm blanket.
