This trilogy just has to be read - I have genuinely loved all three books, become attached to each of the sisters and loved every minute! This book is just so positive and delightful it has really made me smile all the way through. I love the fact that two people who have gone through emotional experiences and are totally different can find each other and fall in love. It’s what everyone needs sometimes, a heartwarming love story that makes your heart sing! Definitely recommend!

This was a such a great story!! A little spicier than I anticipated, but a really wholesome romance at the core of it.

This book follows our third and youngest Brown sister Eve as her parents inform her that she needs to grow up and build a life and career for herself and follow in their footsteps. Eve leaves the house and goes for a drive in her car only to end up in a little town and at a bed and breakfast. The moment she walks in the owner and his friend assume she's there to apply for a job so she simply goes along with it, after this follows Eve accidently hitting Jacob with her car leaving him unfit for work so she must step in and help. This book is filled with laugh out loud moments and moments that will make you smile. I really love the grumpy male character and sunshine female character troupe in this book it works really well.

I'm sad to see the end of the Brown sisters novels, I would say Dani's is still my favourite book but I will be reading more from Talia Hibbert

What an absolutely marvelous book. I would have read it in one sitting except we discovered a possible wasps nest at my mom's and that distracted me slightly.

I can't believe I originally thought I didn't like Talia Hibberts books after a middle reading incident with the first book I read for her. Her books now feel like wrapping myself in a warm fluffy blanket and escaping into the most comfortable of worlds. Her romances are never high stakes leaving me twisted up with worry and angst. Her characters may sometimes be about sharp or too blunt for some. But they are never mean. They are characters I would want to befriend and who I would try to protect at all costs from the outside world. I can never help but feel that the last minute eveny which happens to push out two romantic leads apart is never a deal breaker and I love that you usually see both characters want to be together and the grand romantic gesture is inevitable because even that didn't happen something else would to bring them together again.

I don't think I can say enough good things about how absolutely brilliant this book was. I am so sad to reach the end of the Brown sisters books. I am thrilled we'll be going off to Skybriar in the next series, but I would have stayed reading about the Brown family forever.

Eve was the sister I wasn't sure of at the beginning of the series. Partially because we hadn't had chance to know her, but also because she seemed to always be bouncing from thing to thing. I didn't understand her lack of focus (not that there's anything wrong with having a diverse CV… life's too short staying doing a job you absolutely loathe) but you normally see characters have an end goal with the changes of job which hadn't happened here. But now she got her own book I could see Eve was just so scared of failure and the hurt that comes from not succeeding in what you love and hearing the disappointment from others if you don't do well. She was protecting herself as she learnt what exactly she wanted. She needed the push from her parents to get serious, they weren't wrong. But they certainly didn't go about it the right way and I loved their mistakes led Eve into the right path and meant she got to truly understand herself. Even though they might not be what they intended.

And Jacob? How lovely to see autistic characters with some the well known indicators autism (read the male indicators) but not have it written they aren't able to interact with people. I've read some great romances with autistic characters at this point (and know I will read many more to come) and I love that we can finally move from the version the media and the world wants us to think. We all know what I mean there. But those who are neurodivergent don't need to learn to function in the 'normal world'. They don't need to change their behaviours. Everyone else needs to learn that we all think and function differently and normal is an illusion.

What I liked is Jacob helped Eve learn more about herself as she found herself able to understand him and appreciate his directness she understood how he learnt best and he helped her see her own behaviours. Women frequently present differently when it comes to autism and this because the original studies focused and little boys and didn't include girls. We are in a default male world (please read Invisible Women that books explains so much and I adore it so very much). But this meant every wasn't diagnosed and as the book goes on its obvious how similar her thought patterns are to Jacobs even though their behaviour is very different.

Can we also talk about how Jacob is a total softie. I loved that his b&b catered to people's needs and was open to any requests, from needing a ground floor room due to mobility issues, to requests for weighted blankets as guests required it to sleep. It was wonderful that his own experiences led him to wish to help cater for others needs to so their holiday could be as comfortable as possible.

I always knew I would enjoy this book but I didn't realise how much. Considering how few books I've read in 2021 I can safely say this will be in my favourites of the year and reminded me I seriously need to read the rest of Talia Hibberts back catalogue.

Loved the end of this trilogy! Such a great characters portrayed in a very respectful way but also a lot of fun and sexy stuff. What not to like!

So I’m coming back to review this to credit it with me realising I was autistic, realising my understanding of autism was highly flawed and beginning the process which led to me being officially diagnosed yesterday. It is not an over statement to say this book changed my life and made me understand myself in a much deeper way.

Incidentally, it’s also a fantastic romance book with two fantastic leads and a great climax. I feel deeply privileged to have received an advanced reader copy via netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This book has a special place in my heart.

This was my favourite out of all of the Brown sister books! I loved them all and I loved all of the topics they touch on, however this one just topped it for me.

I don’t know if this is just because it focused less on the sex side of things and more on the development of the professional/romantic relationship or what it was!

This book touched on learning about being autistic as a female early into your adult life, which is something I know is not talked about enough (thank you @literaturewithluce for enlightening me on this subject and discussing it so openly) and Talia handled it so well.

Highly recommend.

I loved this book. It was an easy feel good read and I struggled to put it down. I cannot wait to read her other books now.

I really enjoyed this book it had romance and funny parts in it.

I didn’t read the other two books but you could read this as a stand-alone.

Eve is a very nice woman who has confidence issues everything she does she gives up. Lucas runs an B&B and when Eve runs away from her family ends up there working for Lucas as he is incapacitated due to a little accident. There is a chemistry between them but they are always having goes at each other which are funny.

In this book autism is part of it.

I would recommend this book.

Act your age, Eve Brown is the third book in the Brown sisters books. I love these books so much and they are one of my all time favorites. I was so excited for Eve Brown and I’m so glad I loved it just as much as I had expected to.

The Plot and Story
The story for this book follows Eve Brown, the youngest Brown sister. Eve Brown hasn’t been able to settle in a proper career choice yet due to which she keeps on changing from one thing to another. This time her parents give her an ultimatum to find a job and stick with it for a year to prove herself. This is how she ends up in a Bed and Breakfast with whose owner she gets in a cross with immediately. Jacob Wayne is the owner of a Bed and Breakfast and he is always in control and doesn’t like anything being out of place or plan but Eve Brown comes and wrecks that. Instant enemies to reluctant colleagues to friends to lovers, this story will make you laugh and smile wide at the beautiful moments of Eve and Jacob.

I loved the humorous dialogues and the supporting characters and it just felt so fun! It puts a smile on your face. There is no boring moment and it will keep you interested throughout. I was listening to the audiobook and I truly think that the audiobooks only make the enjoyment of this book better. I would highly recommend the audiobook for this one.

The Characters and Romance
Eve Brown was an amazing character. Her passion for life is beautiful to read about and her inner dilemma of trying to find what she likes is relatable. Jacob is autistic and Talia handles that part of his personality so well. I did love Eve’s character a little more because she was so fiery and you can’t help but love her. Jacob was great though and I loved how awkwardly hilarious he was. The romance is absolutely endearing filled with smiles and bickering moments and I-hate-you-and-you’re-beautiful-face. Their dynamic was beautiful and it was fireworks right from the first moment they met. It was sexy, witty, banter filled with awkward moments and lots of laughs.

The Brown Sister romance books are my favourite. They’re all filled with so much warmth and love and laughs. It was swoon-worthy and healthy relationships and it’s interesting right from page one. I highly recommend these books and if you manage to get the audiobooks, I’m sure you’ll love it more!

Overall, Act Your Age, Eve Brown was amazing with beautiful characters, swoon-worthy romance and so many adorable moments. If you’re looking for an adult romance which is equal parts sexy and witty and fun, then you must read Act your Age, Eve Brown. The Brown sisters books are instant serotonin books and I cannot praise them enough!

Just when I thought I couldn't love this series and these sisters any more, this book comes along and makes me fall in love with them all over again. I loved the story and autism rep in this book. It was beautifully written and just so much fun and emotional to read. I love the Brown sisters and will miss them terribly.

Eve often gives up and doesn't stick at jobs. When her parents decide to cut her off until she can hold down a job she discovers a B&B that is in need of a chef. The owner Jacob is not impressed with her unprofessional appearance and does not think she is suitable for the job. However, when she accidentally hits him with her car he has no choice but to offer her a trial. Soon he finds himself constantly thinking about her.

I haven't read the previous books in this series but I have heard such good things that I decided to try this one and it did not disappoint me. I loved both the characters in this book and I liked seeing their relationship develop. They had really good chemistry and great banter which I enjoyed reading. If you like the grumpy/sunshine trope you will love this book.

I am so glad that I read this book because I really loved these characters. I can't wait to go back and read the previous two books from this series.

As someone who read the first book in this series Get a life Chloe Brown and didn't connect at all with Chloe I gave the book about Dani a miss even though it sounded interesting. However when I read the blurb for Eves story I decided to request it off netgalley because she seemed like my kind of character, flawed and clumsy but trying to do her best. So needless to say I was excited but the expectations I kept low.

Eve I loved immediately, her inner monologue had me laughing out loud at times and I think everyone can relate to feeling aimless at times during their lives, not knowing exactly what you want to do. She spoke to me on numerous levels and she might be one of my favorite characters ever because she is so authentic to being herself.

Oh Jacob how I adored him, he owns a B&B and is looking for a chef which is when Eve comes and drives over his life/ actual body ending up with a broken list Eve steps up to help out. Jacob is autistic and it's always great to see representation in romance books, especially with him being the leading man and getting to see things from his perspective during the story.

The banter between the two was great and the enemies to friends to more was done well, the characters all realistic and I would love a spin off book set in this town maybe with Jacobs best friend?

I received a free copy of this book via netgalley and am voluntarily leaving a review.

5 Stars

After absolutely loving the first book in this trilogy and not enjoying the second, I was excited but apprehensive about reading the final book. I am pleased to report that I really enjoyed it.

This book follows the youngest Brown sister, Eve, who is a bit of a Jack of all trades, master of none character. She is constantly trying new endeavours/businesses and quitting at the first sign of failure. Her parents say they will cut her off financially until she proves herself capable of holding down a job. She flees and ends up getting hired at a Bnb as the chef. The BnB owner, Jacob, doesn't want to hire Eve but he's left with no choice after she accidentally hits him with her car after the interview and leaves him unable to do the work himself.

Romance ensues and like all Talia Hibbert books, it gets spicy.

I enjoyed this book but thought the beginning was much stronger than the end. I found myself a little bored towards the end of the book as I felt it was getting a bit repetitive. The one thing I would say is that this book follows the exact formula of the other two books where a couple who resist getting together, end up together, there's drama, it ends in true love and that makes it very predictable. I would have liked it to be a little different.

If you've enjoyed the first two books in the series, you'll definitely enjoy this one.

I was so excited to read the third and final book in the Brown Sister trilogy after loving both Chloe and Dani! ⁣
⁣
Eve is the youngest of the sisters and after being handed an ultimatum by her parents to get a job and start standing on her own two feet, Eve finds herself outside a B&B in the Lake District where she bumps into (quite literally with her car) the B&B owner Jacob. After accidentally breaking his wrist, she starts work in the B&B as the chef and general housekeeper.⁣
⁣
I LOVED this book. The quirky characters of Eve and Jacob, their banter and bickering, the friendship into lovers and the steaminess, oh I loved the steaminess! ⁣
⁣
Funny and sweet this book was my favourite of the three and I have to say I am a a little sad the Brown Sisters are over! ⁣
⁣
The first books I have read by Talia Hibbert, but they most definitely won’t be the last!

This one had me hooked from page one. I loved the tone of the writing and the way the character of Eve really stood out.
A proper page turner, definitely need to go back and read the other two in the series.

Talia Hibbert can really write some hot, smutty sex scenes but I will never forget the scene with ‘the dildo known as M’Baku’. Besides writing witty dialogue, the author managed to capture the emotional depth and character development of the main characters throughout the narrative. Jacob is Autistic which he mentions to Eve during their first meeting and struggles with abandonment issues which he later discusses with Eve. Unlike her sisters, Eve was never good at anything and this constantly weighed her down. Eve talks about her failure of holding down jobs to Jacob and their entire conversation was so pure that I wanted to hug them both.

Overall, I would recommend it if you love the grump/sunshine trope, great banter, purple dildos, and the Brown sisters.

WE HAVE A WINNER. Having now read all three books by Talia Hibbert about the Brown sisters, I really think they have been getting progressively better and better. This is most likely my favourite out of the three (although Take a Hint, Dani Brown would be a close second). I just love that Hibbert is so representative and considerate through her characters too, each book incorporating inclusivity without it feeling forced or unnatural. With Eve Brown, this involves characters on the autistic spectrum, which is not something I feel like you see often in romantic fiction, if at all. Better yet, each book starts with a content warning. Can we normalise this practice please?!

This review feels like it is for all of the Brown books, but I feel like it has been building up to this point and I'm sad now that we have reached the third and final sister. I'm really looking forward to seeing where Talia Hibbert goes next with her writing - give us a whole new family to love please! With plenty siblings each with a book of their own, and preferably friends with the Browns so that we don't have to lose them just yet!

Just like its two predecessors, I flew through this in less than 24 hours. Easy reading, it is indeed, but in no way a criticism or way to diminish Hibbert's wonderful writing.

I still haven't read Get A Life, Chloe Brown. It's on my bookshelf but I've just not got round to reading it. However, I loved Take A Hint, Dani Brown and instantly fell in love with Talia Hibbert's writing style and her flair for bringing her characters to life. Having loved Dani's story I knew I'd love Eve's and I know I'll love Chloe's when I get to it.

Act Your Age, Eve Brown did not disappoint me. Being a Contemporary and a Romance means we all know what we'll be getting from the book so the important bits are writing style, plot and characters. And Talia hit it out the park again with these.

I don't want to write too much and ruin the book for anyone but I loved Eve and Jacob in this book. Most importantly was that Jacob represents a group of people who are commonly under-represented in books. Jacob is autistic and I loved that he was the leading man. I enjoyed the way he was represented but I also want to make it clear that there is no one representation of people with Autism, that this is just Talia's representation for her character. I was able to emotionally connect with Eve and really felt for her having experienced a number of her feelings myself, particularly the anxiety relating to failure. I loved their love-hate relationship, their bickering and their relationship development throughout the book. They made me laugh and root for them, they made me experience their emotions and also shed a little tear. Eve goes through amazing personal growth throughout the book.

I'm also going to tell you that Chapter 13 and 14 are enough for me to recommend this book to anyone. Like serious, just those two chapters are worth reading the whole book.

Talia's writing style is funny, engaging and captivating and if you've read either of the other two Brown sister's books you'll want to read this one too. Talia is my go to read if I'm hitting a book slump as her books to reignite my passion for reading. Act Your Age, Eve Brown is funny, relatable and so very worth the read so go buy it right now!

I absolutely loved the first two in the Brown Sisters series and this one did not disappoint! I adored Eve and Jacob so much! They were funny, unique, sassy and honestly the chemistry between the two had me eagerly turning the page.

Go read this book and if you haven't read the other two in the series go read them two! Hibbert has this amazing way of writing that just consumes you and has you wanting more!
