Chosen Book for September

The book:

Eve Brown is a certified hot mess.  No matter how hard she strives to do right, her life always goes horribly wrong.  So she’s given up trying.  But when her personal brand of chaos ruins an expensive wedding (someone had to liberate those poor doves), her parents draw the line.  It’s time for Eve to grow up and prove herself—even though she’s not entirely sure how.

Jacob Wayne is in control.  Always.  The bed-and-breakfast owner expects nothing less than perfection.  So when a purple-haired tornado of a woman turns up to interview for his open chef position, he tells her ‘not a chance.’  Then she hits him with her car—by accident.  Yeah, right.

Now his arm is broken, his B&B is understaffed, and the dangerously unpredictable Eve is trying to help.  Sunny, chaotic Eve is his natural-born nemesis, but the longer these two enemies spend in close quarters, the more their animosity turns into something else.  Like Eve, the heat between them is impossible to ignore . . . and it’s melting Jacob’s frosty exterior.

The author:

Talia Hibbert is a Black British author who lives in a bedroom full of books.  Supposedly, there is a world beyond that room, but she has yet to drum up enough interest to investigate.  She writes sexy, diverse romance because she believes that people of marginalized identities need honest and positive representation.  Her interests include beauty, junk food, and unnecessary sarcasm.
