The story is so cute that the heat really sneaks up on you. Talia Hibbert pulls no punches when it comes to writing her sex scenes, and I love her for it. I'm talking scorching hot chemistry. There are no silly euphemisms for sex, just enthusiastic SEX. Yes, yes, yes! Of course, the romance itself in Act Your Age, Eve Brown is is tense, and oh, so hot. There is a scene with an, ahem, very large sex toy, and PHEW. Learning what each other likes sexually is an even more intimate experience because of each of their sensory needs.

Part 1: Why Read Act Your Age, Eve Brown?

Underneath the irresponsible behaviour lies a woman who’s quite unsure about who she is and fears failure. Jacob was such a grumpy sweetheart. I loved how he reluctantly always smiled or grinned around Eve. He was also protective and was always trying to make Eve happy! 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. This book features a drunken proposition that is gently rejected, a shared hotel room with only one bed, and a Kiss That Changes Everything. because this is an ARC i'm terrified of accidentally saying too much, so i'll shut up now, but TRULY IT WAS SO ADORBS

I think I may be a little bit dead. This book quite literally suffocated me with a pillow of happiness and love. In my deceased state, I am thoroughly incapable of doing the words for good sentences, so have a list of reasons why Act Your Age, Eve Brown was delightful, lovely, and all-around wonderful instead: Despite Jacobs’s initial objections, with a turn of events, Eve begins working at the B&B. This change might just prove eventful for Eve. But when Eve breaks his arm (an accident folks!) Jacob has no choice but to hire her to help him run the B&B. But he doesn’t have to like it…Premise in a sentence:Eve, who has just left her job as a wedding planner after a disastrous event with some doves, tries to prove to her parents that she can hold down a job, and ends up at a bed and breakfast working in the kitchen with grumpy, yet sexy, Jacob.
