Review: Take a Hint, Dani Brown

Take a Hint, Dani Brown by Talia Hibbert
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Dani does NOT do relationships. One night stands, friends with benefits, short term with an expiration date? Yes! Dani has been friendly with one of her college's security guards. They have good banter and interact well together (and they seem to have fun while doing it). Zaf has a crush on her. He is a retired rugby player and has his charity work; he runs a non-profit that teaches mental health and rugby to children. Dani teaches and is working on her PhD with a long-term goal of getting tenure. They both go viral when Zaf recuses Dani during a fire drill (she is in an elevator when the drill starts and gets stuck). She thinks Zaf is hot and wants him in her bed and decides to fake a relationship to help his charity.
Both characters compliment each other well. I loved Zaf's love of romance novels and that he was the romantic one in this partnership. I enjoyed Dani's self-confidence and her goals that she set for herself. Of course Feelings develop and Dani learns that isn't a bad thing. I liked the focus on mental health and normalizing that this is something that some people deal with.
I liked the epilogue, it showed growth. I did miss her sisters in this one; Chloe and Eve do have some page time, but not a lot when compared to page time that Dani and Eve had in Chloe's book.
