How do they keep getting better and better?!?! 
Reckless is the fourth book in the Chestnut Springs series by Elsie Silver. I’m telling you, it’s SO GOOD. This one is hard to review because I don’t want to give anything away. So bear with me. 
Winter is going through some big life changes when she meets hot and rowdy Theo Silva. Theo is Rhett’s protege and a notorious ladies man but he’s trying to focus more on his career and less on women. Winter and Theo immediately have electric chemistry and Winter finds herself confessing her deepest secrets to Theo and he likes it. He really likes it and he really likes her. They share one night together but things get complicated when Winter takes a pregnancy test 4 weeks later. 

I was not looking forward to Winter and Theo’s story, she wasn’t my favorite character and I’m not a big fan of surprise pregnancy but YALL, this might be my favorite in the series. From the start Theo treats Winter with respect and tenderness, I melted. Then we have the surprise and the *conflict* (don’t want to give anything away) and I was sobbing. Silver really pulls on our heartstrings with this one. But then the resolution, ahhhhhhh! It’s so sweet and so powerful, the way Theo sees Winter, shows up for her, and defends her. It’s just so well done. I listened to the audiobook and loved Joe Arden and Savannah Peachwood’s performances. 5/5 would recommend!!

5/5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
