Blurb: 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 a wedding, 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 always in control. The uptight B&B owner expects nothing less than perfection from his employees, so when a purple-haired tornado of a woman applies for his open chef position, he tells her the brutal truth: not a chance in hell. Then she hits him with her car—supposedly by accident.
Now his arm is broken, his B&B is understaffed, and the dangerously unpredictable Eve is fluttering around, trying to help. Before long, she’s infiltrated his work, his kitchen—and his spare bedroom. 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 entirely…
Review: This book was recommended to me when I requested recommendations for books that feature neurodivergent women, and I didn’t know what to expect. I wish that someone had told me about the sex scenes!
I enjoyed most of this book, I honestly didn’t feel the sex scenes added to the story and could have been done with closed door scenes, however I know that isn’t everyone’s preference. The relationships Eve has with her family and the others around her were fun, as well as her quirky nature. I related to so many of her struggles.
If you’re looking for a fun romance that features neurodivergent characters, with a bit of spice, you’ll enjoy this one.
Since reading this book, I have read another in the series, and I’m positive that character is neurodivergent too, however it’s not stated.
