Sequel to: Take a hint, Dani Brown.
"Eve Brown is a certified hot mess. No matter how hard she strives to do right, her life always goes horribly wrong--so she's given up trying. But when her personal brand of chaos ruins an expensive wedding (someone had to liberate those poor doves), her parents draw the line. It's time for Eve to grow up and prove herself even though she's not entirely sure how. Jacob Wayne is in control. Always. The bed and breakfast owner is 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 car supposedly by accident. Yeah, right. Now his 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."-- provided by publisher.

The Brown Sisters, book 3 submitted by pamhockey25 on August 8, 2022, 3:27pm I've enjoyed all of the books about the Brown sisters. This one wasn't my favorite, but Eve won me over in the end. It would make a great movie. Eve is the youngest Brown sister and has been told by her parents that she needs to grow up. Eve starts her journey by impulsively applying for a position at a B&B she happens upon. She manages to run over Jacob, the owner of the B&B, and ends up staying out of guilt to help him out since she broke his wrist. Surprisingly, it turns out that Eve really likes helping people and finds her both her niche and her man!

A tender and breezy romance! submitted by foilista on July 29, 2023, 12:05pm Talia Hibbert is the genius at creating imperfect, lovable, relatable characters -- and, even more importantly, foregrounding racial, religious, and neurodiversity. You can't help but root for Eve and Jacob, and this is a cozy read.
