This was my first book by Elsie Silver and it definitely won’t be my last! It was a sexy, swoony, character driven read!

4.75 stars. This was so good! I really felt the small town vibes lol. I loved the buildup of the relationship between Summer and Rhett. Those two had tension from the first time they met lol. They're two people that have been broken in some way that find what they didn't know they needed with each other. I loved how she defended him throughout the book as and didn't talk down to him like how most people did even if they were doing it out of care at times. I liked how they brought out different sides of each other as well. I liked most of the side characters and the next book was set up really well. The writing of this was really good too. Overall I liked this a lot, it definitely brought me out of a slump.

Too cute! I honestly wasn’t too sure what I thought of this one at first but it really grew on me. Loved it and can’t wait to read the rest of the series!

Holy heck it's steamy. Who knew that I would fall in love with a cowboy romance, and I need more immediately! This was almost a DNF for me, only because it took close to 200 pages to get to the action but once it does, it doesn't stop! Elsie Silver does an amazing job at creating a tasteful workplace romance. 

The plot centers around Rhett Eaton professional bull rider with a bad reputation, in hopes of clearing his name (and brand deals) his agent assigns him a babysitter for the last leg of his tour, Summer Hamilton. The only issue? Summer just so happens to be the daughter of his agent. I loved the banter between the two main characters, Summer was so sassy and really stood her ground when it came to Rhett. Immediately the connection and banter between the two of them was spot on, not only that, Summer fit right in with the Eaton family. 

What really brought it all together, was the fact that it wasn't just some fluffy romance. The fear of Rhett not knowing if he would be able to continue his legacy with his injuries really got to me, and hearing about Summer's history broke my heart. These two characters really needed each other, and it seems they both came into each others lives at the right moment.

Who knew 2023 would be my year for cowboys, eh? Yee-fucking-haw.

Flawless lived up to every single hype that I've seen. It was funny, emotional and, of course, steamy. The chemistry between Rhett and Summer was instantaneous. The bickering between those two was so damn cute because of how hard they were trying to make it not obvious that they liked one another. Also, the fact that Rhett was losing sponsorships because he vocally made it aware that he hated milk made me laugh out loud. Especially all of the hilarious jokes that comes along with that. 

I loved the Eaton family, especially their dad. I can't wait to read the books following Beau, Cade and Jasper! Summer's dad was surprisingly a trip, too. Reading the texts between him and Rhett were hilarious. 

While this book was mostly funny and mostly consisted of Summer and Rhett hating each other, there were a lot of side stories that went a serious route. It was really nice to see how these hard times brought Rhett and Summer closer together, making them realize that they needed each other more than they thought. 

TROPES:
- boss's daughter
- hate to love
- forbidden love
- forced proximity
- only one bed
- reformed playboy
- grumpy/sunshine

Overall, this book has made me an Elsie Silver stan and I can't wait to read more from this author. So happy I have so many backlist books to look forward to. If you want a book that is hilarious and is so good, you can easily binge in a day, pick this one up!!

This book is so good, a fun spicy read! This book is perfect for fans of small town Hallmark romances but make it spicy. I really enjoyed Rhett and Summer’s relationship, great banter than evolves into a sweet romance over time. I had a great time reading this one, would recommend!
