Sounds tragic, I know, but everything turns out alright in the end. And then I trip and fall into my new fake girlfriend’s bed, which is absolutely excellent and makes everything a thousand times worse. Then I completely lose my mind and decide to fake date said co-worker (blame my niece for that scheme I know I do). I start the story as a hopeless romantic who’s half in love with his co-worker. In which the brooding, emotionally intelligent hero of Talia Hibbert’s witty, diverse romcom Take a Hint, Dani Brown drops by to recommend his favourite romance novels. It is an utter delight, and I cannot wait to review it next month! And be sure to pre-order Act Your Age, Eve Brown, the third novel in the Brown Sisters series. Read on for Zaf’s romance novel recommendations. Goddess Talia Hibbert was good enough to oblige! I was intrigued by the idea of what Zafir’s romance novel recommendation list might be.

When I was first listening to the book a few months ago, I was struck by this and fell in love with the book even more.

He listens and reads romance novels as a way to relax and cope with his anxiety (much the same way I started reading/listening to romance). For one, the anxiety rep was on point, and the hero, former Rugby star Zafir Ansari, is a romance reader. Listening to them this year gave me a much-needed boost and provided a bright spot amid a hellish and stressful time.Ĭhoosing between them might be like choosing my favorite dog (I have two dachshunds, and I love them equally) but the second book in the series, Take a Hint, Dani Brown, was an absolute pleasure. The heroes are swoon-worthy and the heroines kickass and relatable. They radiate positivity and love, happiness and acceptance.

Talia Hibbert’s Brown Sisters series are among the best rom-com novels I have had the pleasure of reading.
