⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Review - Take a Hint, Dani Brown by Talia Hibbert

This story follows the middle Brown sister, Dani, as she enters into a fake relationship with the security guard at the university she teaches at after a video of him carrying her out of the building during a fire drill went viral. What Dani doesn't realise is that while she's hesitant about solidifying her feelings toward Zaf, he's all in with her. This story is one of the better romance novels I've read, due to the characters communicating well despite the issues in their backstories, and they felt realistic and imperfect, but all together likeable.

I really enjoyed it, far more than the original Chloe Brown book. The characters felt better developed, more interesting and built upon what was started out in the first novel, and I liked the dual-perspective narrative, which gave the reader a really good overview of the whole picture, but also made me want to tear out my hair because at points they just weren't communicating, very much like real people don't! The spicier scenes weren't as explicit or (in my opinion) vulgar or graphic as in Chloe Brown and it felt like it worked with the plot more than the first book.

I much preferred this book in the series to its older sister, it just felt like the tropes were more interesting and I was more interested in the characters this time around.
