Thank you to Libro.fm for my free advance audio copy of Get a Life Chloe Brown by Talia Hibbert. This is definitely one of my favorite reads this year! It is laugh-out-loud funny, the characters are extremely lovable and the story moves along at good clip that will make it hard for you to put it down.

It’s also refreshing to have a main character who has more than just ‘love sickness’ or loneliness to conquer. Chloe battles with chronic pain and the other effects of Fibromyalgia, along with abandonment and trust issues. After a near-death experiences she embarks on a mission to build herself a life that she can be proud of. I think we can all take a leaf out of Chloe’s book, and stop letting our situation or challenges define us and begin living the lives we want.

As part of Chloe’s bid to ‘get a life’ she moves out of her family’s mansion and into her own little apartment. It’s there that she meets the sexy but extremely irritating superintendent Redford Morgan and they begin to butt heads. I must say, I love a good enemies to lovers story and this one certainly doesn’t disappoint.

The audiobook is narrated by Adjoa Andoh, and she makes the already wonderful dialogue sparkle even more. There were more than a few times when I burst out laughing while listening in public — but strange glances be dammed, I just felt sorry for everyone who wasn’t listening to this wonderful book!

Synopsis:

Talia Hibbert, one of contemporary romance’s brightest new stars, delivers a witty, hilarious romantic comedy about a woman who’s tired of being “boring” and recruits her mysterious, sexy neighbor to help her experience new things—perfect for fans of Sally Thorne, Jasmine Guillory, and Helen Hoang.

Chloe Brown is a chronically ill computer geek with a goal, a plan, and a list. After almost—but not quite—dying, she’s come up with seven directives to help her “Get a Life”, and she’s already completed the first: finally moving out of her glamorous family’s mansion. The next items?

• Enjoy a drunken night out.

• Ride a motorcycle.

• Go camping.

• Have meaningless but thoroughly enjoyable sex.

• Travel the world with nothing but hand luggage.

• And... do something bad.

But it’s not easy being bad, even when you’ve written step-by-step guidelines on how to do it correctly. What Chloe needs is a teacher, and she knows just the man for the job.

Redford ‘Red’ Morgan is a handyman with tattoos, a motorcycle, and more sex appeal than ten-thousand Hollywood heartthrobs. He’s also an artist who paints at night and hides his work in the light of day, which Chloe knows because she spies on him occasionally. Just the teeniest, tiniest bit.

But when she enlists Red in her mission to rebel, she learns things about him that no spy session could teach her. Like why he clearly resents Chloe’s wealthy background. And why he never shows his art to anyone. And what really lies beneath his rough exterior…
