Elsie Silver can do no wrong! Rosie and Ford are yet another perfect couple! They had such great chemistry, right from the beginning from knowing each other for so long! I love a good brother’s bestie, but I also loved how this felt more like traditional friends to lovers! It gave them such a strong foundation!
This book did give me a whiplash of emotions because both Rosie and Ford start the book off in tough situations. But I love how both of them grew from those situations.
I really liked the addition of Cora! While I already like a good single dad trope, I really liked this twist of her not previously being in his life! She was also just really funny!
For me, something was just missing in this book that I’ve never experienced with one of Elsie Silver’s books. I just didn’t connect to it the same way. Maybe it’s something about the first book in her series not being the best, but I just didn’t feel a connection to the characters like I normally do. I still highly recommend this book, I just wanted to point out that something felt off…
I’m also really really excited for West’s book!
Thank you so so so much to Elsie Silver, NetGalley, and Sourcebooks for providing me access to this book!
