Highly Suspicious and Unfairly Cute by Talia Hibbert

by 3 Comments

CBR15 Passport Challenge: Books from different countries (the UK) Celine Bangura and Bradley “Brad” Graeme used to be best friends until Brad callously decided to ditch Celine and get with the popular crowd (this is Celine’s interpretation of past events, anyway). Now, every time they are near each other, they trade insults or compete academically. Their mothers are still best friends, though, which means they keep hearing glowing accounts of any accomplishment the other has achieved. One of Celine’s dreams is to become a lawyer, […]

Finishing up The Brown Sisters’ Trilogy

Take a Hint, Dani Brown by Talia Hibbert

Act Your Age, Eve Brown by Talia Hibbert

by 2 Comments

After reading Get a Life, Chloe Brown, I knew I just had to read the trilogy by Talia Hibbert. I often buy books and forget I own them. So I was delighted when I discovered I already owned the second novel, Take a Hint, Dani Brown, as an e-book. Thanks past me! Chloe’s sister Dani aka Danika is the lead in the second novel. She is a bisexual professor who has given up on relationships. She broke up with her ex-girlfriend because things were getting […]

A good time, but not my favorite of Hibbert’s books.

That Kind of Guy (Ravenswood, #3) by Talia Hibbert

by Leave a Comment

The third act breakup in this one pooped the bed, but I really liked the rest of it. I wrote that ↑ back in July when I first finished the book, but now (on November 1st 😬) as I’m finally sitting down to write this review, I don’t have a very clear memory of the third act break-up, other than I didn’t buy it and it annoyed me. So, do with that what you will. I picked this book up out of order because of […]

Better late than never to The Brown Sisters series

Get a Life, Chloe Brown by Talia Hibbert

by 2 Comments

CBR Bingo: Gaslight – finally have an official #CBR14Bingo! As a lover of romance novels, I’ve been hearing the buzz around The Brown Sisters series by Talia Hibber for quite some time! I finally sat down and read the first book for my Mocha Girls Read book club in January. Get a Life, Chloe Brown starts with Chloe having a brief near-death experience. She makes a list of all the things she’s missed out on in life. She dives in head first by moving out of […]

The Princess Trap by Talia Hibbert

by Leave a Comment

The Princess Trap takes very well trod territory in romance and breathes fresh life into it. Plot: Cherry Neita is turning thirty, and her work as an HR administrator at a private British school for overprivileged white boys is not particularly thrilling. But it’s stable and reliable, just like Cherry herself, and it helps ensure that her chronically ill but brilliant sister is able to pursue her academic dreams without sacrificing her health. Plus, she enjoys her very affordable hobby of what can only be […]

Work For It (Just For Him, #4) by Talia Hibbert

by 5 Comments

Perfect book at the perfect time. This is only my second book read out of Talia’s backlist (we are on a first-name basis apparently) and it was just as good as I’d hoped it would be. I haven’t read any of the other books in this series, but I probably will now that I’ve met some of the other characters and liked them, and vibe going on here. I don’t know if they will live up to this one, though. I was thisclose to giving this […]
