Theo Silva, the man you are. Once again, this series is great and this book is no exception. I would have liked a bit more of a resolution of their feelings, especially on Winter’s part, but overall a great book that’s cute and fun

going in, I didn’t expect to enjoy this book as much as I did because of Winter, yet it was impossible not to fall in love with her changes and realizations, and her and Theo just make me love romance even more

Reckless is the fourth book in the Chestnut Springs series and follows Winter Hamilton and Theo Silva after a one-night stand leads to an unexpected pregnancy. 

I already liked both characters from the previous books and thought they’d make an interesting match. Their personalities are polar opposites, which works well—Theo helps Winter come out of her shell, and she starts to embrace her family and friends, learning that it’s okay to accept help.

There was significant character growth for both Winter and Theo, which I really appreciated. While there was another third-act conflict, as is typical with Elsie Silver's books, the internal aspect of it was resolved quickly and maturely. The major conflict was external and tied to a storyline that had been left unresolved since the first book, so I was glad to see it come to a conclusion.
Overall, this book was a fantastic read and one of my favorites in the series.

Winters insecurities call out to me personally. I love that she wasn’t a go get them type of girl and that she really had weak moments. 

More later 🫶🏼
