Take a Hint, Dani Brown: A Novel | 
pickSisters Chloe, Dani, and Eve all have their turn at being the protagonist in their own steamy and laugh out loud story. I listened to the first book by accident, finished the second one on purpose, and have just now placed book three on hold at the library. Funny and awkward listening.
pickThis book was the perfect remedy for getting out of the slump. A steamy rom-com; friends to lovers in unexpectedly expected way. I enjoyed the main characters, their stories and their development. Hibbert does a great job showing what true overthinking, anxiety and the stress of marriage to your job can look and feel like. The first few pages in my body gave a sigh; it felt like the perfect stress relief and it didn‘t disappoint.

I love the Brown sisters series! Hibbert writes diverse characters with relatable issues. This one had great anxiety rep

pickZafir saves Danika from a building fire. A video of the heroic act goes viral. Now, they must fake date for Zaf‘s charity event. The more time they spend together, the less fake the feelings & desire become. Will Dani accept her feelings for Zaf?
This one was unexpectedly so good. My favorite out of the Brown sister series. I loved Dani & Zaf as characters & their chemistry. Their diversity was my fav part. The spice & story were a good balance.👌
pickA charming romantic comedy about a young woman who agrees to fake date her friend. Dani is a strong independent woman and Zafir has been hurt in the past and has issues of his own. Is the relationship more complicated than it should be? An anti romance main character paired up with a sentimental romantic. What could possibly go wrong?
Mental health issues and anxiety features predominantly and are dealt with sensitively.
pickThis was a good follow up to the first book,
Was pretty good but smut is not my thing,
Some funny bits
3.5/5

I really enjoyed the first in the series and have managed to get hold of the next two. Hope they are just as good!

I have been in a reading slump since my accident and this book has got me started back into reading. This was part of my night stand book spin. I guess the ancestors knew this I needed something fun, spicy, and easy to read. I love this little collage I saw while googling the book cover #ambw #woc #poc
Love this quote: every book nerd
Because he knew her well enough to realize she'd rather be holed up in here like Gollum, stroking books and murmuring, "My precious.

pickAmazing book! This is the Second sister in the Series regarding the Brown sisters. Chile was fun & romantic. Yet Dani‘s book is hot! Sexy, sultry, & bring light to anxiety & long term grief. I really enjoyed this book, if you need something to make swoon & clutch pearls— this is it! 9 out 10 #summerread #sexy #witch #interracial #awbw #uk #drrugbae
I have been in a reading slump. I did a random pick of my TBR on my night stand. I am getting out of my little reading funk with this one. I have read about Chole Brown, now I am on to Dani. I loved her in the first book and wanted more. So glad the spin landed here. Light & Easy (plus very sexy) so far. I am hoping this will fully get me in swing of things ❤️ #poc #woc #sexyfun #Brownsisterstrilogy
Check out my book review of Take a Hint Dani Brown on Book Interrupted‘s Manuscript Monday‘s here https://www.bookinterrupted.com/post/manuscript-monday-take-a-hint-dani-brown
pickMain characters were so likable, they weren't flawless and admitted it. They were so realistic and I couldn't anything else than love them.
This was cute story - the thing I loved most was how uncomplicated it was. There wasn't unnecessary drama.
I am so glad that I continued the series, this was better than the first one.

My #WeekendReading plan. 📚💙
I‘ve got a bunch of “assigned reading” this month (book clubs - for work & otherwise), which means I‘m definitely going to need some quick, fluffy reads in between. That‘s where you come in. 😉
Tag 1-3 of your very favorite Romance reads below. Some of mine are pictured. 💘
Okay it was difficult to pick a favorite this month but I love the idea of doing this at the end of each month so the impressions are fresh and you can narrow them down as the year goes on.
Thanks @chasjjlee for this lovely idea and graphic! ☺️
pickThis was a great follow-up of the Brown sisters. Hibbert does a wonderful job creating relatable characters & depicting healthy relationships. I especially loved the love interest Zafir who suffers from anxiety & panic attacks because I also struggle with these issues and it was nice to see it handled so well. Dani asks the universe for the perfect f* buddy but is given a fake relationship with Zaf, the romantic
TW: grief, past toxic relationships
pickCompleted my #DoubleSpin read for this month! It was raunchier in premise than its predecessor and I loved the diverse representation. @TheAromaofBooks
On to my #BookSpin !
I'm putting in work but not the work that matters for #BookSpinBingo 😂 Onto my #DoubleSpin book after thoroughly enjoying the first one!
pickThis book was pretty steamy, but I loved it. I don‘t read many modern day romance books, which is odd because Rom/Coms are my preference in films. I loved both the main characters. You are really rooting for both of them and the side stories are really good too. It wasn‘t just about the romance but the lives and struggles of the main characters. I enjoyed it. Wonderful author for when you need a light, enjoyable and happily ever after read.
pickLoved Zafir! He was awesome. Glad Dani figured things out and made the big gesture. Along with enjoying the book, I had fun checking out all the fan art. One more sister left in this trilogy. After Zafir and Redford, wondering what type of person Eve will get matched up with.
pickI absolutely love everything I have read from Talia Hibbert, and this is no exception. It is funny, heartfelt, and sexy. The characters are deeply relatable. I love it. Can't wait to read the last book in the trilogy and more from the author in general.
pickWhen you think a perfect book man doesn‘t exist, along comes Zafir. He‘s emotionally in tune, he loves his family, he reads romance, and he understands and is dealing with the trauma he‘s been through. I thought he and Dani were totally worthy of social media fame and a cute hashtag.
Fake dating turned more is a favorite trope of mine. And then throw in opposites attract and I‘m hooked.
pickExactly what I wanted and needed in my life right now! Finished this one up and began Act Your Age Eve Brown immediately 🤩
Cheering Hubby on during employee table tennis tournament and discreetly listening to an audiobook at the same time. Multitasking!
This actually surpassed the hype…it was even better than I expected! It‘s hilarious, sex-positive, with diverse characters, and spicy!! Love the witty banter, the fine nuances of the story, and the bisexual mc. She‘s thick, smart, rich, nerdy and did I mention smart? #Dr.Rugbae for the win!
pickI liked Get a Life, Chloe Brown a little better than this book because I related so much to Chloe's chronic pain, but the story was cute and I admired Dani. I am trying to get used to that level of sappy and happiness in my books. I did think Zafir's anxiety was portrayed well and he had good coping mechanisms.
Enjoying the banter and spice of the second book in this series.
#romancebooks #spicyread #booklovers #summerbooks #recommendedreading
pickI enjoyed this book more that the first one. I think Dani and Zaf were still in the process of an emotional healing and together they would discover these fears. It is second chance romance story, just to give themselves another opportunity to love and be loved. There were so many funny parts including those “sexy” ones. 3.5⭐️
“Honey are you crying?”
“No, I am leaking masculine pain trough my eyes”
so-soI liked the characters a lot, but I think the audiobook format is the wrong way for me to go with this series. Took me a long time to get into the story and I spaced out frequently. So maybe it was me, not the book 🤷🏻♀️
pickThis was everything!! It‘s so funny, romantic and steamy!! The book also tackles important issues like anxiety and dealing with the death of loved ones. The characters Dani and Zafir are both so loveable, and their chemistry was HOT!! They balance each other out. I loved this book so so much.
“It‘s good that you realize you‘re more valuable as a person than an idea-machine.”
Taking some advice from Zafir‘s words of wisdom and celebrating the successful end of a tough work week with a tired puppy, snacks and a good book.
pickMy face this whole book. I loved Get a Life, Chloe Brown. But I loved this one more!!!
“This book had teeth and it sucked me dry.”
-Talia Hibbert, Acknowledgments
Fun weekend reading!
pickAnother win from Talia Hibbert. A male romance MC who reads...romance novels and has mental health concerns, a female MC who thinks romance is bunk, and tons of chemistry. Very fun, looking forward to Eve‘s story.
First finish of #AnyWayYouReadathon actually happened yesterday; I‘m late on posts.
Jumping into the #AnyWayYouReadathon today through Sunday, and #AwesomeApril Saturday through following Sunday. Goals for the short term: finish the tagged (using for “a library book” because I forgot to put it on my #bookspin list), continue 2ch/day of Tess, start Are You There, God? It‘s Me, Margaret and/or Sanity and Tallulah (free space).
Longer term add Beneath the Wheel and The Raconteur‘s Commonplace Book to set up several bingos.
“She simply places too much value on being nice.”
“I cannot fathom why.” Gigi sounded genuinely bamboozled. “Niceness is incredibly dull.”
Gotta love call-it-like-it-is grandmas. Also, reminds me of Into the Woods - nice is different than good.
