Get a Life, Chloe Brown by Talia Hibbert

A special thank you to Libro.fm and HarperAudio for an audiobook listening copy.

Chloe Brown is a computer geek with a debilitating chronic illness. She has allowed her disorder to rob her of living her best life. After a near death experience, she decides to get a life and makes a list of things that will help her accomplish this.

The list is underway—Chloe has already checked off the first task which is to move out of her family's mansion. But she's going to need help with the rest of the items and knows just who to ask. She enlists the help of Redford 'Red' Morgan, her building's handyman. He has tattoos, a motorcycle, and is incredibly hot. Red is also an artist, he paints at night—Chloe may have spied on him a time or two.

Told in alternating points of view, Red is working on overcoming a past abusive relationship and Chloe is learning to stop letting her fibromyalgia steal any more of her happiness than it already has.

The narrator, Adjoa Andoh, was so FAB! She did a bang up job and was absolute perfection with all of the different character voices. (I hope she is signed on to do the rest of the series.)

This is a romance that deals with some rather heavy subject matter and Hibbert handles this with care. Her writing is authentic with multi-faceted characters: Red is sexy and charming, but vulnerable and creative, whereas Chloe deflects with her sharp-tongue and wit. She is also fabulously stylish and smart.

Hibbert writes sexy and diverse romances and this is exactly what we need more of. This book took me by surprise and quite simply captured my heart. Not only was it engaging, it was incredibly delightful and absolutely hilarious!

Talia, you are such a talent! I was utterly charmed and I can't wait to read the second book about the Brown sisters.
