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 seven directives to help her “Get a Life”, and she’s already completed the first: finally moving out of her glamorous 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…
After hearing so many great things about this book, I’ll admit that I was slightly disappointed. I’m not sure if that’s because my expectations were too high or because it was just not the book for me.
I’ll admit there were a few funny scenes in this one. And I really enjoyed how realistically Talia Hibbert was with her characters’ flaws. The author really does have some talent; which is why I rated it as I did.
However, it was kind of a struggle for me to get through this one. I think I’m going to try the next in the series, though.
About Talia Hibbert
Talia Hibbert is a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author who lives in a bedroom full of books. Supposedly, there is a world beyond that room, but she has yet to drum up enough interest to investigate.
She writes sexy, diverse romance because she believes that people of marginalised identities need honest and positive representation. Her interests include beauty, junk food, and unnecessary sarcasm. She also rambles intermittently about the romance genre online.
Talia self-publishes via Nixon House and is represented by Courtney Miller-Callihan at Handspun Literary.
I have this one on my Kindle but I still need to read it. Too bad you were a bit disappointed but maybe the next book will be a little better.

I’m in the same boat as you – after all the hype, I read this one and was let down by it. I decided not to continue the series since I didn’t care much for this one, but I hope you like the next one more!
