As the youngest Brown sister, Eve is also the flightiest, hopping from one career path to the next, living off her trust fund until her parents cut her off, claiming that the time has come for Eve to settle down and apply herself. In a fit of frustration, Eve climbs in her car and drives off, stumbling across a small B&B that is holding open interviews for a chef — so OF COURSE she gives it a shot. While B&B owner Jacob is not impressed by her casual manner, he's also desperate, and after initially rejecting her, he chases after her, only for her to hit him with her car. Somehow, she still manages to end up working at the B&B, sparks fly, etc etc
Only now, while writing that summary, do I realize how ridiculous this whole book is. I absolutely loved Hibbert's first two books in the Brown sisters series, and I had very high hopes for this one. While the presence of an autistic main character in a romance novel is refreshing, it's not handled particularly well (more stereotypes than anything), which also causes problems. Read the first two Hibbert books (Get a Life, Chloe Brown and Take a Hint, Dani Brown), leave this one on the shelf, and keep your fingers crossed for her next title.
