Take a Hint, Dani Brown

Take a Hint, Dani Brown by Talia Hibbert, 384 pages

PhD student Danika Brown has been burned by love in the past, so now she's only in for no-romance, no-strings-attached friends with benefits. When her students' phones capture her hunky friend Zafir Ansari rescuing her from a stalled elevator, Dani and Zaf are suddenly #couplegoals (despite the fact that there's no actual couple there) in viral video that brings new attention to Zaf's struggling non-profit organization.  The pair decides to fake a relationship until the buzz dies down, but given Zaf's romantic commitment to, well, commitment, will Dani be able to keep from catching feelings?

Oh, this was a delicious romance novel! I loved that the stereotypes were switched (Zaf's the romance reader, Dani's oblivious to anniversaries, etc) and in a way that still felt organic. It's steamy, it's funny, and it's very realistic. An awesome sophomore effort from Hibbert. Can't wait for the next book about a Brown sister!
