I was really looking forward to this one, but it leaned a little too heavy into the whole I've-loved-him-my-whole-life-and-he-doesn't-see-me vibe, and I just couldn't do it. it really killed me that he
didn't "notice" her until he literally saw her trying on wedding dresses. like, COME ON.

Oh, man, this one had ALL the feels! My heart ached for Jasper, and Sloane totally resonated with me. And their chemistry was OFF THE CHARTS. I’m deeply invested in the chariot this series. I know the next book is Winter & Theo, but I really hope she writes one for Beau, too.

I love this series. Elsie Silver is so good at making spicy romance novels also serious. All of her characters are so well rounded, and you really get to know what drives them and what holds them back. Also loved the found family in this book omg it gets me. 

I wasn’t as in love with the leads in this book. I think that’s mostly bc childhood friends to lovers isn’t usually my jam, but I still had a good time reading :)

I’m excited to read Winter’s book when that comes out later this year!!

I’m going to get comfortable disappointing other people to avoid disappointing myself.

Because I’ve been staring at Jasper Gervais since I was ten years old, and suddenly . . . he’s staring back.

This series just kept getting better and better. I love Jasper so much, and was anticipating his story from Rhett’s book. Jasper has my heart forever. I love the Eaton’s, and really want to start the Gold Rush Ranch series now!!!
