Publisher's Summary

“Absolutely charming...a flawless balance of humor, heat, sweetness, and depth, and I loved every page.” (Helen Hoang, USA Today best-selling author of The Bride Test)

Talia Hibbert, one of contemporary romance’s brightest new stars, delivers a witty, hilarious romantic comedy about a woman who’s tired of being “boring” and recruits her mysterious, sexy neighbor to help her experience new things - perfect for fans of Sally Thorne, Jasmine Guillory, and Helen Hoang!

Chloe Brown is a chronically ill computer geek with a goal, a plan, and a list. After almost - but not quite - dying, she’s come up with seven directives to help her “Get a Life”, and she’s already completed the first: finally moving out of her glamorous family’s mansion. The next items?

Enjoy a drunken night out.

Ride a motorcycle.

Go camping.

Have meaningless but thoroughly enjoyable sex.

Travel the world with nothing but hand luggage.

And...do something bad.

But it’s not easy being bad, even when you’ve written step-by-step guidelines on how to do it correctly. What Chloe needs is a teacher, and she knows just the man for the job.

Redford "Red" Morgan is a handyman with tattoos, a motorcycle, and more sex appeal than 10,000 Hollywood heartthrobs. He’s also an artist who paints at night and hides his work in the light of day, which Chloe knows because she spies on him occasionally. Just the teeniest, tiniest bit.

But when she enlists Red in her mission to rebel, she learns things about him that no spy session could teach her. Like why he clearly resents Chloe’s wealthy background. And why he never shows his art to anyone. And what really lies beneath his rough exterior....

This story is five stars, the narrator is seven

I've read a little of Hibbert's self published work before and really loved it. This is by far my favorite thing she's written so far, her improvement is just cosmic. The story by itself is beautiful but this narrator made it one of the best reading experiences I've ever had. The story handles the leads personal arcs well and their affection for each other feels authentic and understandable, as do their conflicts

Terrible

It started out fine, but then all the needless f bombs. Then all the extremely explicit sex scenes. The narrator was good but she sounded like someone's Grandma reading sex. Made me cringe. And then Red became a whiny little girl. Definitely not sexy!

Okay

So, I’m sure the story line was great but the narration just left me unable to pay attention. I would literally zone out and then find myself 3 hours in not knowing what happened. I’ll give it a second chance at a later date. But as of right now its just okay

A romance, not a self-growth novel

From the description of the book, I thought that this novel would primarily be about a woman learning to accept her own limitations and, with that acceptance, growing into the best version of herself. That storyline is the predominant one in the first third of the book. Then, however, the story shifts into a lot of angsty-yet-respectful lust between the main characters: I would classify the novel under romance, not fiction. I ended up giving up on it, since I was looking more for something like "Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine". For the most part, I prefer audiobooks with limited, if any, descriptions of sex, and to be more focused on character development or to have lots of adventure/action. If you're looking for a contemporary romance, this could be a good choice. The narrator has excellent comedic timing and a good range of voices, and the writing itself is lighthearted and amusing.

Disabled representation!!

This book was so validating! The characters and story are believable and have depth. The sex scenes are few and the book is very PG overall, so it’s not THAT kind of romance.

The protagonist is disabled, struggling with chronic pain and fatigue. Not only is it refreshing to have a disabled protagonist, she is depicted as complex, desirable, and lovable. Yet it’s not her whole identity and she remains a person with relatable and nuanced needs, desires, fears, and family.

Well written and excellently narrated.

Cute spicy fluff with a chronically ill lead

Loved this. The narration was amazing, and it was so refreshing to read about a main character with Fibromyalgia where her pain and accommodations needed are talked about. Highly recommend even if you’re not looking for chronic illness/chronic pain rep, but especially if you are. Even better, Chloe is a Fat Black woman with chronic illness and pain, and I can’t say I’ve seen such a character written before. The writing is quick witted and spicy and wonderfully lyrical at times, just like the other books in this series. Check it out.

Best Book of the Year!

A highlight of the year. This book is witty, engaging, empowering, and an absolute must-read.

Chloe Brown is an intelligent, socially awkward website designer who has fibromyalgia.

Redford Morgan is a sensitive, tattooed, motorcycle-driving artist still healing from an abusive relationship.

I fell in love with them both. Representation matters and I didn't realize how much I need to read about a protagonist with chronic pain until I found this book. And Talia Hibbert does it with such style! This book is funny and charming while showing the realities of fibromyalgia in a way that makes me feel empowered and renewed. Chloe Brown has limits. Chloe Brown has bad days. Chloe Brown is in charge of her own life.

And Red? I have never fallen in love with a book character so fast. All together, this book has shot to the top of my favourites list.

And the narration? Absolutely divine.

I highly HIGHLY recommend it.
