The book opens with Dani and her best friend Sorcha, and straight away I just loved their vibe.
I was in hysterics from literally page one. Talia Hibbert has this impeccable talent of writing romance that goes from super steamy to laugh out loud in the same paragraph. The pair then decide to maintain the ruse that they are a couple, which brings about one of my favourite tropes, fake dating!Īs well as being super hot of course, Take a Hint, Dani Brown was also hilarious. In a few words: An addictive diverse adult romance with fat rep, mental health rep, fake dating and the ultimate grumpy but soft love interestĪ dual perspective adult romance in which Dani, a black bisexual PHD student and Zafir, a British-Pakistani retired rugby player turned security guard go viral after he rescues her from a building during a fire drill. Has her wish backfired? Is her focus being tested? Or is the universe just waiting for her to take a hint?Ĭontent warnings: death of a family member, anxiety and panic attacks Suddenly, the easy lay Dani dreamed of is more complex than her thesis. But the former sports star has issues of his own, and the walls around his heart are as thick as his… um, thighs. Before long, he’s tackling her fears into the dirt. The trouble is, grumpy Zaf’s secretly a hopeless romantic-and he’s determined to corrupt Dani’s stone-cold realism. Lying to help children? Who on earth would refuse?ĭani’s plan is simple: fake a relationship in public, seduce Zaf behind the scenes.
Turns out, his sports charity for kids could really use the publicity. Now half the internet is shipping #DrRugbae-and Zaf is begging Dani to play along. But before she can explain that fact, a video of the heroic rescue goes viral. When brooding security guard Zafir Ansari rescues Dani from a workplace fire drill gone wrong, it’s an obvious sign: PhD student Dani and ex-rugby player Zaf are destined to sleep together. So Dani asks the universe for the perfect friend-with-benefits-someone who knows the score and knows their way around the bedroom. Romantic partners, whatever their gender, are a distraction at best and a drain at worst. But romance? Been there, done that, burned the T-shirt. Danika Brown knows what she wants: professional success, academic renown, and an occasional roll in the hay to relieve all that career-driven tension.
