Act Your Age, Eve Brown, by Talia Hibbert
I mentioned in my last review of a Hibbert romance novel that she tends to write too many grumpy heroines for my taste, and although that's true, I think my actual issue is that nearly all of her heroines are......extremely willing to be in-your-face rude. This often goes along with grumpiness, but not always! Eve Brown, the titular heroine of this book, is not grumpy, but she is still a little too comfortable being rude as a way of showing confidence.
And this is just not a character feature I'm personally into! I like a lot of the other aspects of what Hibbert does with her books, but....I am getting real tired of this being a feature of almost every book.
(the other feature I'm getting tired of is all the sexual attraction, but like, it's a romance novel, what else do I expect :P)
Anyway I liked this book more than the other two in the Brown sisters trilogy, but.....still not exactly for me.
Will I keep trying out books by Talia Hibbert? Almost certainly! Will I also continue to temper my expectations around whether I'll love her books? Also that, yes.
