Wild Love
by Elsie Silver
Hmmm…. I have mixed feelings on this book.
After the Chestnut Springs series, I expected a it from this new series, but many that was me setting myself up for disappointment.
This story just feels so….unoriginal.
This feels like the lovechild of Flawless and 50 Shades of Grey, with a side chick of Ross and Rachel seasons one and two. I feel like I can tell EXACTLY where inspiration was drawn from.
The emailing back and forth, the billionaire boss/employee power dynamic, the need for “control” and the “I know she’s going to be my wife”
I found myself caught up in the writing, the plot line from an analytical standpoint, and the characters from a standpoint of the author rather than being caught up in the story and characters themselves. There are parts that contradict themselves, typos, and a lot of back and forth without much show or tell from the author, just the characters doing things for convenience of the plot and not true to who they are.
This book could have used another round of edits for sure.
With all that said, I did enjoy parts of this book. The banter, while not original, is funny, and the relationship between them is sweet. Total “He’s her lobster” vibes
3.5/5
