ACT YOUR AGE, EVE BROWN by Talia Hibbert
This book is an infusion of pure joy! Thoughtful, silly, and sexy in equal measure, it’s the perfect conclusion to the Brown Sisters trilogy, and a tropetastic confection packed with enemies (to friends) to lovers, opposites attract, pining roommates, chest rubbing feels and grumpy/sunshine goodness.
I’m still too deep in the fizzy, bliss of it to offer much more than incoherent squee, but this chaos demon and caretaker extraordinaire meets stern, orderly, BDE with a heart of gold romance worked for me on every level. It’s got an extended meetcute involving the heroine hitting the hero with her car (apparently I have violent tendencies because it’s the most delighted I’ve been by a meet cute since Portia’s macing of Tavish (#Swordbae) in Duke by Default); banter Hepburn and Tracy would envy; a power balanced, consent heavy boss/employee relationship; wonderfully nuanced autistic representation; mind melting, sexy times (including a hero not shy with the heroine’s 12 inch purple dildo, M’Baku), and my new favorite, wet, drippy pond scene in all of fiction (sorry Colin).
Sure to be amongst the best romances of the year, Act Your Age, Eve Brown is not to be missed!
