One thing I love about the Chestnut Springs series is Elsie Silver's characters. We hear a lot about all of the characters throughout the entire series, with couples being focused on in each one. The exploration of them and their backstories is fantastic. Silver has a way of making their strengths and flaws work together.

In Reckless, we get to know more about Summer's sister Winter. In Summer's book, Flawless, I really did not like Winter at all but my mind has completely changed. Following her divorce, Winter has a one night stand with bull rider and Rhett Eaton's protégé, Theo Silva, and falls pregnant. 

The depth of Winter's character is wonderful to read, especially after becoming a mother. Theo and Winter trying to navigate having a baby together was just perfect. Every time I think these men can't get any better, the next book comes along! Theo is such a refreshing male main character.

Accidental pregnancy is my least favourite trope and Elsie Silver has made me give TWO books that feature this five stars so, bravo.
