"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

- Having 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. Jus 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...."

My Rating: 4/5

I've really been in the mood for romance this last little while, and luckily my hold on this book came up and I was able to binge it. Talia Hibbert does a great job of really composing out our two main characters and giving us an idea of who they are as people. I can't speak to the rep for chronic pain, but I have heard from some others who have experienced it that this is a fair representation of their lives (as much as any work of fiction ever can be). I loved the romance and the sex scenes leaned a little over the top for me, but enjoyable none the less. I will say that I didn't expect how explicit the sex scenes to be just based on the cover, so if that's not something you are into I'd steer clear. I plan on reading the next book in the series (I think it follows the sister named Dani).

Thanks for reading,
