Thank you to Avon and Libro.fm / Harper Audio for gifting me review copies of Act Your Age, Eve Brown by Talia Hibbert.

Firstly, I find it completely obscene that a single person can contain this much brilliance, wit, and talent. Save some for the rest of us Talia.

Act Your Age, Eve Brown is the third in The Brown Sisters series and, in my opinion, pure perfection. It was hilarious, sexy, heartwarming, and I’m already jealous of people who now get to read it for the first time.

Eve Brown is the youngest of the Brown Sisters and hasn’t quite worked out what she wants to do with her life yet. So when her parents kick her out and cut her off until she can prove she has some sticking power she finds herself in an adorable tiny town, applying for a job as a cook at the cutest little bed and breakfast she’s ever seen.

Her boss, Jacob Wayne, likes everything to be ‘just so’. Eve is exactly the whirlwind of disaster, singing, and rude t-shirts that he doesn’t want in his life….or does he.

They’re obviously attracted to each other, but there are so many reasons why they shouldn’t indulge themselves. But they seem to get each other in ways that no-one else does, and it’s delightful to watch as they each bring out the best in the other and both become more confident. I loved that both main characters are on the autism spectrum, so great to see more neurodiversity in romance.

The audiobook is wonderfully narrated by Ione Butler (who also performed Take a Hint, Dani Brown) and it comes in at just under 11 hours. She brings the characters to life in such a fabulous way and has the best timing when it comes to the hilarious dialogue. You can grab a copy of the audiobook via the button below, or get a physical copy here.

Synopsis:

In Act Your Age, Eve Brown the flightiest Brown sister crashes into the life of an uptight B&B owner and has him falling hard—literally.

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’s 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.
