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 […]

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 […]

When I finished Get a Life, Chloe Brown earlier this month I immediately requested Take a Hint, Dani Brown from the library – the reading experience had been that good. When I finished Take a Hint this week, I did the same thing for Act Your Age, Eve Brown and it is currently waiting for me at my local library branch. Talia Hibbert has written some of my favorite reading experiences of the year thus far in this series and I imagine I will be […]

Eve is the youngest and seemingly flightiest of the three privileged Brown sisters. She’s always felt like the odd duck in the family, neither as focused nor as intelligent as her two older sisters and completely unable to settle on anything for very long. When she abruptly closes down her wedding planning business after one single event (a generally very successful wedding, that nevertheless descended into some chaos after Eve took it upon herself to liberate all the doves that the bride had wanted, and […]

Take A Hint, Dani Brown by Talia Hibbert

I read and thoroughly enjoyed the first book in Talia Hibbert’s the Brown Sisters trilogy, Get a Life, Chloe Brown.  Knowing that I would likely enjoy the second book, Take a Hint, Dani Brown, I put off reading it – as one does. This was both genius and foolish because, of course I loved it. I loved it even more than Get a Life. When Take a Hint opens, Dani Brown and her best friend Sorcha are performing a ritual, calling to the goddess Oshun. Dani wants […]

Yet another lovely book by Talia Hibbert, and again, upping to five stars because the audiobook version was so much fun to listen to. It’s hard for me to review books I just respond instinctually to. Something about it just clicked with me. I love Hibbert’s voice as a writer (she’s so funny!). I love the way she seems to so effortlessly create characters that come to life in my mind so easily, even the secondary and tertiary ones. I love the way that she […]
