General anxiety disorder was explicitly talked about in this book from Zaf’s perspective. Zaf on the other hand is an ex-star rugby player that decided to take a step off from the spotlight after a traumatic event affected his life, and turned it on its head. “ Putting golden frames around my scars, that’s who I am.” Although she does have some insecurities here and there, but she learned to own it – and, now, confidence is one of her biggest assets. She is driven, knows what she wants and how to get it, and very unapologetic in her sexuality. The first time I met her, I already felt like she will be the Brown sister whom I would like the most – and I wasn’t wrong (Eve is still in contention for this part, but I highly doubt it). While I have to admit that Dani already captured my interest from her brief cameos in the first book, reading about and exploring more of her character in this book was an absolute delight. They fake date, it was all fun and games… then feelings happened and everything starts to go haywire. Take a Hint, Dani Brown centers around the 2nd Brown sister: Danika Brown, as she helped her friend (and co-worker and crush, and potential f* buddy and a lot of things) Zafir Ansari, by being in a fake relationship with him to help boost his sports charity, after the two of them accidentally became viral on the internet.

Has her wish backfired? Is her focus being tested? Or is the universe just waiting for her to take a hint? (via Goodreads) THOUGHTS 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.
