AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Brown sister crashes into the life of an uptight B&B owner and has him

falling hard—literally.

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’s on a mission to dominate the hospitality industry and he

expects nothing less than perfection. So when a purple-haired tornado of a

woman turns up out of the blue to interview 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. Yeah, right.

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. Jacob hates everything about it. Or rather,

he should. 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.

    Eve is the youngest Brown sister and when her parents decide she needs some tough love. She is needs to grow up. When she ends up at a bed and breakfast that is in need of a chef, she decides to apply. The owner, Jacob, is not thrilled with her, especially when she hits him with her car. With him injured, he is even more in need of help, so Eve stays to help out where she can. Jacob is hesitant and worried about his business, but quickly realizes that Eve is doing well. I enjoyed this one a lot. Eve definitely needed a little growing up, but she also just needed to learn to believe in herself more. Jacob, while grumpy and controlling, just wants his business to succeed. He needed a little kick, in the form of Eve, to get him to loosen up.
