Chloe is an adorable main chanacter. And also relatable with her chronic pain for people who live with Fibromyalgia. Hilbert does a great job at creating healthy male main characters. Her books are joyful to read. Many moments that made me chuckle out loud

I really liked this book, and I think Talia Hibbert is an extremely talented author. I was only ever really taken out of the moment by the lines about Red's aching balls.

The Brown Sisters trilogy has been a trilogy that was on my list of book series to read for a while now. I finally got too a point where I can read the first book in this series and I absolutely adored it! I knew that I heard good things about this book but I never imagined that it would be this good! I will for sure be re reading this book possibly next year when I read all three of Talia's books in the same month!

The major thing I adored about this book and that felt so different about this romance then so many others was the main character. The main character is Chloe, a young woman who lives with a condition called Fibromyalgia. A condition that causes chronic pain, fatigue, and trouble sleeping. This condition is rarely talked about let alone written about so to have a main character live with this condition and show the struggles of it is so refreshing to see. Yet Chloe doesn't let this condition stop her from living an independent life which is such an admirable thing! This book also doesn't make a huge deal about Chloe's condition just showing it as a part of her life and showing her managing it her own way. A way that works for her. Chloe is a great character showing that she is organized, has a smart sense of humor, and can be a little closed off to people. Her faults are showcased just as much as her good parts, like her closed off type of personality and her rigidness to sticking to a certain system rather then stray away from it.

The romantic hero in this story is Redford Morgan, a red headed, kind, and caring man who will help anybody in need and give that person his shirt off his back if he has to. I never thought a romantic hero could be so sweet and amazing, his understanding for Chloe's condition and how he accommodates for it is something I wish all romantic partners could have! Not only is his personality shining but he has looks to match! He is written as being gorgeous and very attractive so Red has fit all the checkboxes for a perfect romantic male lead. Not only that but his romance with Chloe is so sweet and they both fit together so well! Red's kindness complements Chloe's stand offish nature very well! Red is also an artist with some trauma that he learns to deal with the more we read into the book. Both of them start to become better for themselves and for their partners sake, they both make each other better people and support each other through all of it! I loved seeing a realistic romance like this!

I highly recommend this book and am so happy that this book opened me up to a well written and realistic portrayal of romance! I can't wait to re read this book and read the other two books in this series, I look forward to seeing what Talia has in store for me next!
