Summer wasn’t just made for me.
She’s it for me.

-forbidden romance, forced proximity, only one bed 🤠🐂
-an incident occurs which leads Rhett to some bad publicity. Summer is tasked as his new agent to restore his reputation. He’s off limits even if Rhett is flirty and happens to be her childhood crush
-representation for girlies with icy feet!! I felt so seen 🤭 Summer is such a firecracker and I loved her sass ❤️
-what a couple and the spice okay 🫣🌶️ I’ll never see princess the same again 🥵
-thank you to NetGalley and Bloom Books for this ARC!

This was my first Elsie Silver book, and I adored it. It is definitely responsible for the beginning of my cowboy romance era! This book reminded me a lot of some of my favorite childhood movies, 8 Seconds and Pure Country but it is waaaay hotter.

The chemistry between the main characters Rett and Summer is intense and instantly grabbed my attention. I loved the banter between the characters as well. This book had the perfect balance between steamy scenes, serious emotional drama and lighthearted laughter filled moments.

There are also some introductions to some amazing side characters as well including Rhett’s dad, and Summer’s BFF Willa. After finishing this book I am AMPED to read Cade Eatons story!!

Thanks to SOURCEBOOKS Bloom Books and Netgalley for the e-ARC.

In the past few months I haven’t been really enjoying most romance books. This was a pleasant surprise, since I mostly dislike the popular booktok books. The story kept me interested in for the most part. Only in the middle it lost me a bit. As for the romance itself, they were a cute couple and I rooted for them wich is a plus in my book.
Im interested in the side characters and will definitely pick up the next in the series.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the E-arc in exchange for an honest review.

This was my first Elsie silver book + definitely will not be my last. After reading this one, I binged the whole series. I loved summer + Rhett’s banter, the grumpy/sunshine, and the one bed trope. This whole book was wonderfully written with the perfect abour of spice. I’m definitely in my cowboy era now and cannot wait for beaus book to come out!

Rhett was my first Elsie book boyfriend and I’m obsessed. He may be my favorite… forever.

Grumpy cowboy. Sunshine “babysitter”Rodeos. Cowboys. Single bed. Forced proximity.

Summer is the daughter of Rhett’s manager. She is sent out to keep Rhett on the straight and narrow and clean up his reputation. Not only does she follow him around when he’s on the rodeo circuit, she moves into the Eaton family household.
Lots of tension. Plenty of banter. And the spice, incredible. HEA always.

Summer & Rhett really set off this series. Elsie has created such a perfect little world in Chesnut Springs. There in enough details about potential characters, leaves you wanting more.

I am blown away by how much I loved this book. I am not someone who is really into country music, likes the Pioneer Woman, or would ever choose to visit a ranch. Cowboy romance seemed so far from what I’d be into but after all the hype? I couldn’t pass up giving this book a try.

It was SO dang good. The familial aspects made this story so well balanced and really gave a lot of depth. I loved both main characters and how much they supported each other! And the spice? Dear lord 🥵. I wasn’t expecting all that. What a nice surprise!

This book was absolutely phenomenal and I cannot wait to read the rest of the series!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨

Absolutely loved it! Elsie's writing has a way of gripping you and not wanting to let go. I adored the dynamic between the characters along with the banter and what not. I am so excited to read other titles from her series.

Have seen this series recommended on BookTok and Instagram and the hype is correct! Cannot wait to continue reading. Excited for not only the rest of the Easton brothers stories but also Jasper and Theo's stories.
Recommend Flawless if you are looking for a small Western town romance with forced proximity, rivals to lovers, bit of an age gap, a strong willed FMC, and a MMC who is rough around the edges but has a gentlemanly heart, and isn't afraid to punch someone who has wronged his lady!

My first Elsie Silver book did not disappoint! 4.5 stars from me. It was such a good story, paced well, beautifully written, and delicious spice. I liked that it wasn't a typical quirky small town feel, it had a fresh take on that trope with a cowboy twist. I'm not typically a lover of the cowboys, but if the series continues with these vibes I may be persuaded to change my mind. Rhett and Hallie had great banter that kept me captivated and this book packed a punch with a shocker that I did not expect. Loved the side characters and the many storylines that were all happening outside of the main romance between Rhett and Hallie.

This book sucked me in, not only to this book, but the whole series. Loved every second of if! I now know how much I love a grumpy cowboy!!

Elsie Silver has become a new insta-buy author for me and despite growing up in Texas I am convinced its Canada thats got the hottest cowboys.

I could not get enough of the absolute TENSION between these two. I read the entire thing in one sitting. HOWEVER I think Summer needs some serious physological help. Groomed by your doctor but never fully seems to grasp how MAJORLY FUCKED that is? And then he MARRIES HER SISTER?! AND SHE JUST DOESNT MENTION IT TO ANYONE??????? And THEN she just lets her boyfriend turn the same nickname her father had for her into a sexual thing? The list just keeps going but summer girl please just take a moment to reflect.

Rhett is perfect though and I love him

Flawless offers readers an exhilarating experience propelled by the undeniable chemistry between the characters Summer and Rhett. The emotional depth of their journey is nothing short of extraordinary, leaving readers captivated. Silvers' exceptional storytelling skills are evident in the sparkling banter among all the characters, particularly our beloved protagonists. As a result, I am fully invested in the lives of the captivating Easton family.

Flawless is just the beginning to the amazing chestnut spring series. You can’t help but love every character. Rhett and Summer are characters I think about constantly. 4 rather than 5 stars because I think the next book in the series is slightly better than flawless and 5 star material, but I highly recommend this series to anyone slightly interested.

I loved this first installment of the Chestnut Springs series! Rhett and Summer are goals and I was completely hooked!

5 stars

A hot grumbly cowboy and his agents daughter falling in love? Sign me up.

Rhett is a professional bull rider who occasionally says and does the wrong thing. Except this time, it's lost him a sponsorship, and others are thinking about leaving. Summer, his agents daughter, is tasked with babysitting Rhett and making sure he stays in line. Rhett can't stand this proper city girl, or so he thinks. Sparks start to fly, and maybe Rhett and Summer are just what the other needs.

• Dual Pov
• Small Town Romance
• Enemies to Lovers
• One Bed

I loved this book and devoured it. Rhett was the perfectly grumbly cowboy, and I loved how he took care of Summer and showed her how she deserved to be treated. Summer really grew throughout the book and seeing her become more confident in what she wanted out of life was such an enjoyable journey. The spice is fantastic and I've never wanted to find myself a cowboy until now

I really enjoyed Rhett and Summer’s story! Great angst, humor, and potentially plausible scenarios. The romance was enjoyably slow to build, but when it happened, all kinds of good things occurred. Haha. They have a great love story and the additional characters only added to it, not a distraction. Certainly, an author I will read more of.

I LOVED this book. Enemies to lovers banter is my FAVORITE. And Summer and Rhett were SO GOOD AT IT. I’m so excited that this series is getting traditionally published!! The world needs more of the Chestnut Springs series!!

They were amazing honestly. The last thing Rhett wanted was someone watching him and the last thing Summer wants to do it be his keeper! He thrives in attention - positive or negative, be craves it. And now Summer is paying attention. Sure at first it’s for work, but she’s doing it nonetheless and he eventually starts giving her the attention she’s always wanted and deserved.

Rhett made Summer realize that she doesn’t have to do everything other people want, especially if doesn’t make her 100% happy. And the way Summer really started sticking up for Rhett, she tried so hard to make sure people saw him for who he really was. That was so important and he never had anyone do that for him before.

And they were SO SWEET together. They brought out the best in each other. And they never lost their banter. Even when they were in deep, they were still teasing each other and Summer always put Rhett in his place. They were the absolute perfect match!

This was my first Elise Silver and I loved it. She’s absolutely ruining all other cowboys for me with her small town Canadian cowboy series! Flawless is such a great opposites attract romance. The tension between Rhett and Summer is SO good! And it’s forced proximity and only one bed?! If you need a steamy, small town romance with cowboys and excellent banter this is it! I will say I did not see the twist coming, but it made me so excited for the rest of the series! 4.5 stars (5 for netgalley and goodreads)

Wow. Wow. Wow. I was not anticipating this at all. I really loved this book!

This was the perfect small town, forced proximity, spicy love story that I NEEDED in my life.

I loved the dynamic between Summer and Rhett! Elsie does such a fantastic job of balancing the story out with the perfect amount of tension, spice, and action within the story to keep you engaged and kicking you feet up in the air.

Also the way Elsie writes the men and women in this series is PERFECTION!! The women are strong, independent, and always challenging the men, while the men are cocky, sweet, and so dirty mouthed ahhhh.

I can’t say how much I love this series enough! This was a sweet story with some great spice! If you’re looking for a cute small town romance with a bull riding cowboy this is right up your alley! As a small town romance lover, I can confidently say that this is my favorite small town romance series.

I’m v excited for a possible Winter and Beau story??? Who knows!
