Tropes/Themes: Cowboy Romance, Surprise Baby, Cinnamon Roll MMC               
Amount of spice: 🔥🔥🔥
Explicitness: 🌶️🌶️🌶️ 

This was by far my favourite in the series so far and I would be surprised if the next one beat it, to be honest. The absolute highlight of this book was Summer and Winter’s sibling relationship, it made me cry because it was just so wholesome. In fact, I loved all the sisterhood vibes in this book because Winter’s relationship with Sloane is also really lovely (Willa can absolutely kick rocks at this point I have no interest in her). 

I adored both Winter and Theo and even though it was very sweet and a little cutesy which is something I usually don’t like a lot of, I still loved every minute. Also, this trope just hits so good and it’s an instant favourite of mine every time. This was sexy, a little cosy and really addictive. 

The only reason this didn’t get five stars was because these two muppets had unprotected sex after having just been through a surprise accidental pregnancy and assumed the pull out method was all good (Winter is supposed to be a doctor so this confused me). Genuinely, this annoyed me enough to knock off 0.25 points because it was completely out of character.   

I would recommend this if you love a secret or surprise baby trope, cinnamon roll MMCs and ice-queens who are still learning to deal with all their big emotions.

This book has a pregnancy trope in it. While I’m not a fan of said trope, Elsie writes her characters so well, especially her male main characters that it’s something I could easily overlook. Who wouldn’t than a Theo in their life tbh?

I really liked the change-up in the dynamic of bad-boy afraid of love and sunshine girly makes him want a relationship because this mMC loves a lot and is not afraid to love hard while the fMC has suffered in the past because of a variety of things making her distancing  herself emotionally and act a little self-distructive.

For a trope I usually really dislike this was executed quite well. Trying not to spoiler anything...the reaction of the mMC to the child seemed genuine and was better than what usually happens in these romances.

But there are a lot of tiny things I would critize...but only quite small things like some none inclusive language that unfortunately add up which is why this book was not able to reach 5 stars.

Winter, a doctor with an ass of a husband and the ice queen as she is always described, isn’t as icy as anyone might think. because it is only a thin layer to her warm interior. One Theo Silva, a bull rider that is 2 years younger than her, is confident in getting through to her.

Perhaps no one anticipated that the night they met will bind their lives forever as new life started. But it never is easy just like that.

All I can say is that I fricking love Elsie Silver and that I can’t wait for the next (last book I am afraid). But I am so happy I decided to pick up the first book just because I saw a thing about the cowboy hat tule on the internet.

Winter is such a strong woman. Going through what she has and still standing strong on her feet is admirable and I am so glad Theo finally showed her that she has people around her to lean against.

That said, Theo is also just a sweet golden retriever with kinky side (literally barked at her). The way he immediately dropped everything to step into the role of fatherhood is also something to admire. 

And now I can’t wait for Hopeless to come out. But I know I will be sad saying goodbye to these people.
