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 […]

I loved Get a Life, Chloe Brown. I swooned, I laughed, I commiserated. Hibbert delivered on all fronts. This is my first Talia Hibbert book (I’ve followed her on Twitter for quiet awhile and enjoy her greatly there), and it lives up to the hype. In broad strokes, it’s a relatively slow burn romance that slips right past enemies to lovers tropes and instead lands in the “you annoy me but once I actually get to know you I’m enamored of you” zone which isn’t […]

The Worst Best Man (4 stars) 3 years ago, Lina’s fiance Andrew broke up with her the morning of their wedding – via a text to his brother, Max. After a drunken night, Max woke up to a text that whatever he had said had made Andrew realize it wasn’t right. Unfortunately Max can’t remember the night before, but he bites the bullet and breaks the news. By association (not to mention his mysterious advice), Max ranks right up there with Andrew on the asshole brother […]

Her heart was a burning, brilliant thing lodged against her ribs.

I have never been able to get into a Talia Hibbert book before. I wanted to. Ms. Hibbert seems like a smart and lovely person on Twitter. Get a Life Chloe Brown changed that for me. I have been reluctant to try another of her books, but multiple positive reviews and it’s free price on Amazon Prime made it more attractive. I liked it. It took me a while to get into it, but as Red and Chloe let go of their ticks, the humanity of […]

Official book description: Chloe Brown is a chronically ill computer geek with a goal, a plan, and a list. After almost—but not quite—dying, she’s come up with seven directives to help her “Get a Life”, and she’s already completed the first: finally moving out of her glamorous family’s mansion. The next items? • Enjoy a drunken night out.  • Ride a motorcycle. • Go camping. • Have meaningless but thoroughly enjoyable sex. • Travel the world with nothing but hand luggage. • And… do something […]

These two people just genuinely like each other so much.

This was just such a good, happy reading experience, and the audio made it better. I am once again about a month behind my reviews, because it took me so long to write my review for Docile, so this one will be short and sweet. I basically adored this book. I’ve never read Talia Hibbert before, but you can bet I’ll be checking out her entire backlist now. This book was swoony and romantic, smart and compassionate, and funny! It’s so rare to find a […]
