Red Hot: How to Get a Life 101

Red Hot: How to Get a Life 101

Hello, hello! I have so many great books to tell you about, and today’s book is Get a Life, Chloe Brown by Talia Hibbert.

Let me start by saying that this book has made me a forever fangirl of Hibbert’s. It’s sweet and sexy and it kept me busy for about three days. I can’t think of a better way to procrastinate writing my own romance book, frankly.

So, let’s get into it.

Serious and ultimately misunderstood, Chloe Brown doesn’t have a life. Or, at least, she doesn’t have the life she wants. She usually prefers to stay in her apartment due to the chronic pain she experiences from living with fibromyalgia. Chloe supports herself by being a freelance web designer and she also has the safety net of her well-off family if shit really hits the fan.

Chloe is a creature of habit. When she deviates from her daily routine by attempting to rescue a cat that she thinks is stuck in a tree, she’s ultimately saved by her building super, Red. Her super cute, paints with his shirt off and window open at night building super.

Chloe and Red’s relationship is already tinged with tension because of Chloe’s wealth and general standoffish personality. However, despite his best efforts, Red is drawn to who Chloe might be under her prickly exterior, and so he allows Chloe to employ him in her plan to complete her list of ‘get a life’ activities. In exchange, she promises him a website that he can display his art on.

The push and pull between them as they accidentally deviate from their plans and end up toying with the possibility of forever will leave you squirming in your seat. Hibbert does a fantastic job of building up tortuous sexual tension.

It’s hot, cute, and I was sad to see it go when I finished the book. Oh, and one last thing!

Red is such a believable, irresistible, and fresh character. Hibbert pushes against society’s expectations of men as it relates to trauma and obliterates the macho man narrative.

This is the first in the Brown Sisters series, and I will be reading and reviewing the other two books soon.

You can get a copy of Get a Life, Chloe Brown here or you can visit your local library, an institution we must protect until the end of time.

Thanks for reading, until next time!
