Synopsis
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 six directives to help her “Get a Life”, and she’s already completed the first: finally moving out of her glamourous 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 ten-thousand 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…

Review
He loved Chloe. He loved Chloe like a blank canvas and a finished piece and all the exhilarating, painful, stop-and-start moments in between. He loved Chloe like tearing through the night on his Triumph, feeling alive in motion when he couldn’t feel alive inside.
Talia Hibbert, Get a Life, Chloe Brown
This was such a fun and sweet book! It is the perfect combination of sweet, sexy, hot, and heartfelt. I just loved the banter between Chloe and Red, which had me chuckling or emitting unladylike snorts as I read it, particularly their emails.
Not only is this a sweet and witty romance, but the book also touches on body positivity, mental health, and illustrates what it is like living with chronic pain on a daily basis, both the misconceptions and the realities. I also love that it normalizes women in STEM, interracial relationships, and therapy for mental health. This book is so inclusive in so many ways and I’m here for it!
Warning, the language can be a bit crude at times, not a lot, but occasionally during some of the steamier scenes. Personally, it didn’t bother me, so I hope that it doesn’t deter you from this lovely book.
I know that this is a series about the sisters, and I’m so glad that we get to see more of this family because I think it’s going to be entertaining AF. I also kind of want a story about Gigi. Ms. Hibbert, can you make that happen?
