“Absolutely charming... a flawless balance of humor, heat, sweetness, and depth, and I loved every page.” – Helen Hoang, USA Today bestselling author of The Bride TestUSA TODAY BESTSELLERA witty, hilarious romantic comedy about a woman who’s tired of being “boring” and recruits her mysterious, sexy neighbor to help her experience new things—perfect for fans of Sally Thorne, Jasmine Guillory, and Helen Hoang!Chloe Brown is a chronically ill computer geek with a goal, a plan, and a list.

"Super cute romcomish romance with disability representation! I enjoyed this book. At times I felt like there was more telling than showing. Some really funny one liners throughout which I loved. Not a super eventful storyline but lots of character development especially for Chloe. She really felt like a fully formed character. There was spice sprinkled through out 1.5-2/5 🌶 level. "
"So heartfelt, hilarious, and steamy! I will be picking up the next book."

"I absolutely LIVED for this entire story, Chloe and Red are the perfect balance of romance, spice, plot and emotional baggage you could want in a book. Ugh the end had me crying in the best way. Talia does a wonderful job with her writing. I absolutely felt and understood Chloe’s fears with love, and when you’re not like everyone else. It’s a beautiful story of self discovery, love and acceptance. Can’t wait to read about the other Brown sisters!"
""She had not yet transformed her life, but she was in the process of doing so." <br/><br/>I loved the character of Chloe Brown! She was relatable and fun. I had a harder time getting on board with Red - he had some odd scenes, and I didn't really love them together. For some reason, I didn't care for the way the book would flip back and forth between how they saw each other, and then what they felt inside. I think I would have enjoyed it more just from Chloe's POV, or if the book was just about her, or her and her sisters.<br/><br/>Their relationship moved way too fast (emotionally) for it to be believable for me. I found myself rolling my eyes a few times in the second half of the book. All of the characters were constantly described as saying everything "dryly", and I wish there would have been other descriptions. <br/><br/>Although I struggled with some things on this one, I am planning to read the next book about Chloe's sister Eve when it comes out. I would love to read more about their family!"
"4.5 stars - Sweet, spicy, and fun!"
