I think the fact this book evolves around a baby makes me not like it much
First 5 Star Read of 2024 goes to a contemporary romance (who is SHE!!!)
This book had everything I have been craving from The Chestnut Springs series. I absolutely adored the time Elsie Silver took to build Winter and Theo's emotional connection — it sooo paid off for all the smut later.
I love Winter. My heart aches for her. Theo is sensitive AND sexy and a dreamboat. They honestly remind me of Nesta and Cassian (iykyk). I also loved how well they balanced each other out.
Also. I love how Winter and Summer's relationship redeveloped and how people got to understand Winter a bit more. (Again, Feyre and NESTA vibes!!!!) And Winter + Sloane > Willa + Summer. There. I said it.
This book made me cry (multiple times) and I loved it so much I went out and bought a copy halfway through. Hands down my favorite book in the series. So so good.

I’m absolutely loving this series so far! This time, we got the POV from Winter and Theo, and what a whirlwind story it was! I was a bit unsure about Winter in the previous books, but she absolutely redeemed herself in this one. And what a man Theo Silva is! Honestly, these cowboys are on another level!
I’m so close to finishing this series with only one book left, and I don’t want it to end!
Winter leaves her past life and ex-husband behind and moves to Chestnut Springs, hoping to make this new life work and break free from her cold-hearted persona. It was refreshing to see Winter become her own person and mend relationships. She forms a close bond with her sister Summer, putting their past behind them. Winter’s wishes eventually come true, opening up a whole new future for her.

I’m about to book a flight to Calgary to *hopefully* find love and *maybe* kidnap the author. I want more!
When I tell you this book had me hooked, line and sinker???
Like I don’t even know you I’m more jealous now between the characters. Like I thought Willa was my favourite or maybe even Sloane or Summer but Winter????
Winter and Theo stole the damn show.
And I must admit I didn’t really read the description for this one so needless to say I was SHOOK at the events that happened.
I’m also glad that the author did put that scene from their initial night because I was like ma’am why you c0ckblocking???
Needless to sayyyyy I loved the plot, I loved the characters, the setting, the dialogue, the smut I loved everything.
Had to put my own toddler to sleep so I could read this one in peace and it was so worth it because it was such a beautiful story.
Five out of five stars for me.

Elsie Silver really knows how to write male leads easy to fall in love with! Even with all their quirks and difficult personalities the would do and give everything to make their female counterparts happy!
The author is kinda ruining men for all us!

I’m really not the biggest fan of accidental pregnancy or straight up pregnancy in a romance book but this was done really well.
I also didn’t think I was going to like Theo and Winters relationship as much as I did - in fact I was quite shocked at how much I disliked Sloane and Jaspers relationship in the last one that I didn’t have too high a hopes for this but it was very cute.
Theo and Winter are very much golden retriever and black cat energy, it was a very cute romance and Theo immediately stepping into his role as a dad was very wholesome.
Quick breezy easy read - I especially liked the conflict resolution of “we’re gonna fight all the time but let’s stick through it together” felt very realistic and I’m just glad it wasn’t some stupid thing that broke them up. It was very much a shut up and stop pouting thing from winter. Do love that
At this point I have become immune to spicy scenes in books, sometimes they add stuff sometimes they don’t - I often ignore them in reviews because majority of the time it feels pointless
Epilogue was cute and I’m very excited for Beaus story, I hope I really like it
