SYNOPSIS

Eve Brown, sister of Chloe and Dani Brown, still lives with their parents. After feeling like she failed a wedding she planned, she took down her website and decided to scratch the idea of becoming an event planner. Her parents tell her she needs to get serious about life and her career and are cutting her off until she acts her age. In this case, it’s holding down a job for a year.

RECAP AND REVIEW

I feel like every character Talia has written has been relatable in some way and it is something I genuinely appreciate. Her characters are well thought out even down to their insecurities and trauma and it makes them likable. Like all the books in the series, this book takes a two narrator approach.

This romance takes the enemies to lovers approach. Like with Chloe, they didn’t get along at first. The more time they spend together, the more they appreciate each other, and eventually develop feelings for one another. It’s another slow burn book where they learn things about each other over time. Jacob has autism so it can be hard for him to connect with new people. He feels understood by Eve, who ponders if she is autistic herself. Jacob helps Eve see that she’s not a failure and she learns not to be so hard on herself.

Like with the other books, this contains sexual content. I finished this one like a month ago, so if memory serves there is two scenes in detail and one of those scenes includes a toy.

There’s a typical fight in the last act of the book.

I wonder how I’d view the characters differently if I started with this one first.

I can’t rate it lower than the others, so I give it five stars.

Out of all of the books in the series, I like Dani’s the best. However I really enjoyed them all and Talia’s writing style and I related to each of them for different reasons.
