Elsie Silver knows how to write the best cowboy small town romances! Rhett and Summer were so hot- chemistry for days! I love the family dynamic that Rhett has with his brothers and the tension Summer has with her sister and dad/ step mother. Great start to a newly favorite series!

I love the new cover for this book!

I’m between 3 and 4 stars for this book! A very smut romance book that I found to be intriguing because it was so different from anything I’d normally read. Im excited that this was my introduction to the Chestnut Springs world and cowboy romance books! A lot of the romance was corny, but the twist were JUICY!! I loved the dramatics and the male MC rides bulls!!! Come on!!

This book was so good! Elsie silver hits every time. Rhett and Summer definitely went through it during this book but in the end they made it out and I love them as a couple. The character development was so good through this and I was so invested in their story. GREAT READ, don’t hesitate! Thank you to netgalley for the arc

Thanks to NeGalley for free coffee in exchange for an honest opinion.

I am so not into Cowboys, but there’s something about Canadian Cowboys that really float my boat. This book was way better than I thought it was going to be and I don’t know why I thought I was gonna be bad. I loved it. Can’t wait to read the rest of series.

Summer sees Rhett for who he really is and not just the persona he presents the world. Rhett’s whole world changed the minute Summer smirked at him and she made him, Rhett and not Rhett the bull rider, a priority. With Rhett, Summer felt adored and cared for without feeling like a burden and loved beyond anything she ever experienced. The chemistry between them is on fire and so passionate- they truly are made for each other.


Thank you publishers and netgalley for this eARC of the new edition of Flawless!

This is such a great book! I loved reading it the first time and was sooo happy to have an excuse to read it again. I love Rhett especially when he is with Summer.

I didn't LOVE it I didn't hate it. I liked the characters fine and the story line.

But for me something was missing. & the whole milk thing? That was weird lol. That's all have for this review.

Rhett is the golden boy in the professional bull riding world. But one mistake may just cost him his career. Summer's father, Kip, owns the firm who represents him, and his solution? Send Summer in as a full time babysitter to ensure Rhett is on his best behaviour. Is she up for the task?
This is a forced proximity, grumpy sunshine, forbidden, one bedroom romance with great spice and amazing banter. This is book 1 in the Chestnut Springs series, and I loved all the hints to the characters in her other series (the Goldrush Ranch). You don't have to have read this other series, but it was so good, I highly recommend. I also loved most of the side characters (the ones I didn't like were meant to be unlikable). I loved her father and her relationship with him, his father and his relationship with him and his brothers, and her relationship with his family, where she seems to fit right in. I did not love the third act break up, which was an utter overreaction, but the rest of it was so good that it can be forgiven.
I received an advance review copy of this book for free and I'm leaving this review voluntarily.

This was my first cowboy romance and I really enjoyed it! The whole babysitting because of a PR issue was a bit silly, but I loved that Summer and Rhett were forced to be together. Their relationship was fun and the dual POV was great. I think the best part of this series is the (found) family! I'd totally recommend Chestnut Springs if you want to try cowboy romance. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC!

Thank you so much to Netgalley and Sourcebooks for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Holy cow. Ok so this was my first Elsie Silver and I feel like I waited wayyyy to long to read her and I regret both of those choices. This book was so good. Even if small town and cowboy aren't your thing (they usually aren't mine)- trust me when I say this book is for you.

Rhett is a rodeo cowboy who is in need of a little image rehab and Summer is the daughter of his agent who has to babysit this whole grown adult male. Obviously he ends up having some opinions on that. While Rhett doesn't want Summer to entirely invade his life, it's really only because she's going to make his cold little heart come alive again. Summer went through something pretty traumatic with her previous partner and is in no mood for another romance in her life. That door is fully closed. Right? Wrong. Because what's going to happen is Rhett and all his messy life is going to breath new air into her world and it's going to be everything for her.

They do run into some snags along the way but they all felt realistic and the characters handled them in a way that didn't ruin the entire character. There is a lot of growth in this book and what I love is that they do it together. It's not just one perfect character and another that is an emotionally stunted idiot.

It's a hard fought HEA but it's also a beautiful one. This book made me an Elsie Silver fan for life.

what a surprising little delight this was!!! literally no complaints it had everything I wanted in a romance book. great plot, humor, romance and spice. elsie's writing sucks you in and keeps you addicted to turning the pages. can't wait to read her other series!!

tropes:
- frenemies to lovers
- grumpy x sunshine
- forced proximity
- one bed trope
- small town romance
- dual POV

If I’m being totally honest the reason I read this book is because the second book in the series caught my eye. I had a feeling going in this wasn’t going to be my favorite but I hate skipping around in a series 🤷🏻‍♀️

I had a hard time connecting with Summer and Rhett. I also have never been a fan of the whole bull riding thing (weird I know but we all have our things!). I will say, if any other man said the things Rhett said I would have been all for it 🥵 I did appreciate their banter, one bed trope, and some of the plot twists but overall just not a favorite. I’m dying to get to book 2 and hear more about Cade!

This book was SO GOOD! I couldn’t put it down.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
🌶️🌶️🌶️

I loved the dynamic between Summer & Rhett - as they went from enemies to lovers, trying to deny their chemistry. Add in “only one bed” & a small town/country living, and you get this unforgettable romance.

As a Canadian, I love reading novels from Canadian authors, and those that take place here too 🇨🇦

Read if you like:
⭐️ Reformed playboy
⭐️ Enemies to lovers
⭐️ Small town
⭐️ Only One Bed
⭐️ Cowboy/bull rider
⭐️ Dual POV/1st person

Can’t wait to read the rest of the series!
Take me back to Chestnut Springs 🌳

Thank you to NetGalley and Sourcebooks Bloom for a copy. All opinions are my own.

Never thought I had a cowboy kink but this series will get you hooked and wanting to buy cowboy boots and hat. Loved the book and the relationship with the brothers and dad.

FLAWLESS ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5. What a great, steamy read! A book that def lived up the hype! Rhett is a grumpy bull rider, who at the top of his sport makes a big marketing mess. His agent brings in his intern daughter to watch over him until his season is over. A sexy read, with a lot more depth than I expected. You will fall in love with Summer and Rhett and their families.I couldn’t put this book down and got my Yellowstone fix while I’m waiting for the rest of the season to air. A book I could reread as well!

Rhett, bad boy cowboy, has really screwed up his reputation. Enter Summer, from his PR firm, who is his assigned babysitter to make sure he keeps everything in line.

What Rhett didn’t expect was to fall head over heels for his “babysitter”. The chemistry between Rhett and Summer is just perfect. I loved how the the conflict and resolution were handled, I was caught a little off guard because I was expecting something else but was so happy with what happened.

It is so easy to fall in love with all the characters in this book, especially the main ones. Summer shows so much love for the ones around her, even her sister who is cold to her. Rhett is strong and charismatic. I cant wait to read more about the other characters in this small town.

Elsie Silver has cemented herself as a favorite with this series. I keep loving each book more and more. Summer and Rhett are soulmates and I love their love!

Rhett is the golden boy of bull riding or atleast he was. Now, he is faced with loosing all his sponsors and everything he has worked for. His agent assigns his daughter, Summer, to babysitter Rhett with simple rules of keeping his hands of his agents little girl. Summer is a beautiful, ball busting, city girl and Rhett is finding it harder and harder to follow this one simple rule.

Did I read this book based on the hype it has gotten? YES! Was it worth it? YESSS!!!!! This book had me in its clutches. I loved the banter between these two characters and the smut was on point. I knew I had a good girl kink but dang when he called her princess I died. This is one of those books I wish I could read again for the first times cause it was that good! Now, I definitely need to go out and finish the collection cause I completely understand why everyone stans for this series and I guess I’m joining the club.
