Ahhh, this book. I have so many feelings about this book.

I started this series with the story of Dani Brown, (2nd book) which is hilarious, and sexy, and fast-paced.
This one is completely different, both in pace and in the type of romance it displays.

This is the story of one Chloe Brown, who, at the age of 31, with a history of fibromyalgia and after a near-death experience, decides that she is not living her life fully, that she is merely surviving, and so, she must take action and change things.
She writes a list. Of things that excite her, and possibly scare her a bit, potentially difficult to achieve. Like making new friends, riding a bike, doing something bad, getting drunk, having meaningless sex. You know, the usual.

Enter Redford “Red” Morgan: tall, strong, sexy, ginger.
Artist. Mr Congeniality. Beloved superintendent of Chloe’s building, always cheerful, the man who likes everyone but her. Or so she believes. But when the two of them start getting closer, and Chloe enlists Red to help her completing her Get A Life List, new truths come to life, and with them powerful feelings.

I loved this slow-burn romance and I loved the way both main characters get to deal with their issues, both physical (fibromyalgia) as well as emotional (lack of trust, anxiety, fear of abandonment). Talia Hibbert is a talented writer and all her stories I’ve read so far have managed to snug a special place in my old romantic heart.

Here’s to more of her novels - I have a feeling that Eve’s story will be her best one yet.
