Book Review
Wild Love by Elsie Silver (Billionaire Romance)
Really enjoyed the story, I immediately added more of Elsie Silver's books to my TBR while I was reading this. The banter between Ford and Rosie was great (especially the emails). Rosie was great overall, and I love how she always had Ford's back. She did frustrate me a few times in this book with how in denial she was about their whole relationship since childhood. I loved how Ford was throughout the book, especially his petty side (curious how that all worked out for him). I really liked this play on how Ford was a single dad; I thought it was on the unique side. I loved Cora and consistently forgot her age because of what she said and how she acted most of the time. I would love to read more about her. Needless to say, I can't wait to continue the series.
Side note: I really loved that there was a map included in the book.
"Because as much as I don’t need a knight in shining armor to defend my honor, I’m relieved I have one who feels compelled to do so. "
"I want a wild love....I want this feeling I have with you where it hurts to breathe when you get too far away, where my skin itches uncontrollably when you look at me. Where thinking feels overrated because we both know nothing and no one will ever feel like this. Like us. "
"If I could build you a boyfriend like a Build-A-Bear, he would come out as Ford Grant. "

After devouring 'Wild Love' by Elsie Silver, I just had to share more about why this book completely captured my heart. As a New York Times bestselling author, Elsie Silver truly has a knack for crafting stories that pull you in, and this one is no exception. From the moment I picked up its charming pink cover, featuring that adorable heart-shaped padlock, I knew I was in for a treat. What really stood out to me was how masterfully Elsie blended some of my favorite romance tropes. The 'brother's best friend' dynamic between Ford and Rosie was absolutely brilliant, filled with years of unspoken history and undeniable chemistry. Then, you throw in the 'single dad' element with Ford, and it adds such a sweet, protective layer to his character. It’s not often you see this trope handled with such authenticity, making Ford even more swoon-worthy. And let's not forget the classic 'grumpy x sunshine' pairing! Rosie's bright, bubbly personality against Ford's more reserved, sometimes petty side created some of the best banter I've read in ages. Their email exchanges mentioned in my review? Pure gold! The 'forced proximity' just cranked up the tension perfectly. And Cora! Oh my goodness, I adored Cora. Like the original review said, she's wise beyond her years, and her interactions with Ford and Rosie were consistently hilarious and heartwarming. She truly felt like a vital part of their story, making the family dynamic feel incredibly real. This wasn't just a romance; it was a journey of two people finding their way back to each other amidst family and responsibilities. If you, like me, couldn't get enough of 'Wild Love,' you'll be thrilled to know it's part of the Chestnut Springs series. I'm already adding the rest of Elsie Silver’s books to my TBR pile, especially since I'm craving more of her unique storytelling. If you’re looking for other books with similar vibes – think cowboy romance, small-town settings, and heartfelt connections – I'd highly recommend checking out authors like Devney Perry or Sara Ney. They often deliver that perfect blend of emotional depth and steamy romance. One last detail I loved: the map included in the book! It's such a small thing, but it really helps immerse you in the setting and visualize the world Elsie Silver has created. It just goes to show the attention to detail that makes her books so special. This book is truly a gem, and if you haven't picked up 'Wild Love' yet, what are you waiting for? It's a romance novel that delivers on all fronts, perfect for a cozy read on your bookshelf.
