Take a Hint, Dani Brown

Danika Brown is fiercely independent, outspoken, headstrong and determined not to fall in love again. After having her heart broken she has decided relationships just aren't for her. Instead, she just wants the perfect friend...with benefits.

Zafir Ansari is sweet, strong, funny and madly infatuated with Danika. They see each other every morning when she comes to work and they share mere minutes of chatting and flirting. Zafir wants more but doesn't have a clue how to take it beyond that.

Fate steps in, as a fire drill ends up getting Danika stuck in an elevator, turns Zafir into her rescuer, and captures the end of said rescue on video that goes viral on social media. Now it seems Danika & Zafir are to be in a fake relationship, as it seems everyone believes they are in a real one due to the video and Zafir has begged her to play along.

Being in a fake relationship has its perks and rules...rules that are meant to keep things informal and feelings at bay. What happens when those rules get broken and hearts turn tender? Maybe what fate had planned all along.

This was a fantastically fun and laugh-out-loud read. Danika Brown is a great character and I love how confident yet vulnerable she is, and could relate to so much she was going through. Zafir is strong yet sensitive and knows it's ok to not to be ok sometimes. It was great to see this in a male character.

Talia Hibbert has a way with words and will have you laughing, holding your breath, tearing up, and feeling a bit anxious...all while getting completely lost in the story. Such a great pick-me-up book!
