So, small-town romances are my thing but bull riding really isn’t, lol! Still enjoyed the book. Love me a rugged alpha H and it was refreshing to see a confident, strong-willed h. Looking forward to checking out the next book in series, called Heartless!
Thank you, NetGalley and Bloom Books, for the eARC in exchange for my honest review!
What can I say about this book besides that the title says it all? It’s absolutely FLAWLESS. It captivated me from the very beginning and I fell madly in love with both Summer and Rhett. Their banter is top notch, the grumpy/sunshine trope is top tier, and the writing is pure perfection. This book had me laughing, but also feeling ALL the feels. Elsie is absolutely incredible & I highly recommend this & all her other work!
"Save a horse, ride a cowboy." Also known as my new motto. Honestly, cowboys never appealed to me, but they have apparently become the top thing in 2023. I think that Devney was my first hint of cowboy, but Elsie was full shabang cowboy style. And I loved every second. Rhett and Summer are a couple that are clearly meant to be together and I mean, they have amazing chemistry (No small thanks to Rhett's devilish mouth) and the most amazing banter. Elsie has joined the other queens on my "must-read" shelf and I can't be happier. Definitely recommended to every romance, spice-loving queen out there! 🐎
NetGalley Review — my rating ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
“Flawless” by Elsie Silver is a cover rerelease (but I’m still a sucker for the sexy man covers)…the new cover edition comes out August 29!
Summer works for her dad, Kip. He’s an agent who represents Rhett Eaton, bull riding ladies man. Kip’s rule? Rhett can’t touch Summer. Now that’s all Rhett#
Love love love an enemies to lovers trope! And hey, turns out I’m in my cowboy era because 🥵🥵🥵 — nothing I didn’t love about this book so had to give it all 5 stars!
Big thanks to @read_bloom for this ARC! Killer work, @authorelsiesilver 👏🏼

3.5 Stars Flawless was such a fun cowboy romance and the first book in an amazing series of standalones! I love these new covers from Bloom Books. This was an easy read and I flew through the book, excited to read more about Summer and Rhett. Though it seems lighthearted for most of the novel, it does get emotional and I kept feeling like I was waiting for the other shoe to drop with Rhett's professional bull riding career. The head of the Eaton clan, Harvey, was my favorite and I know he just gets funnier as the books go on. Such a fun read about two people with huge hearts and a lot of love to give!
Thank you to Sourcebooks, Bloom Books, Netgalley and Elsie Silver.
When I requested this on Netgalley I didn’t realize this was a re-release? I’d already read this book, but decided to read it again because it was the first Elsie Silver I had ever read and started my love of Elsie Silver books.
This is a classic steamy romance. You will love the small town setting, the male and female main characters and the steam!
Enjoy- and then continue reading other Silver books!
Well I have officially finished my first cowboy romance and I loved it. Rhett and Summer really are the definition of opposites attract. Her, a professional working in a corporate world. Him, a bull rider who is a total hot head. Their banter is top tier and I absolutely loved the relationship between Summer and her dad. Rhett and Summer are able to overcome obstacles together and find what makes them happiest. Such a cute romance and also makes me want to go to a rodeo lol I’ll also take a trip to Canada soon for the views please.
ELSIE SILVER ERA FOREVER
I absolutely adore Flawless (and this whole series) and I can NOT recommend all of these books enough!! If you like humor, romance, spice, and real stories with the best tropes, you have to read all of her books!
i love this book so much!! city girl meets country boy + top tier banter. what more do you want? summer and rhett are so fun, sweet, and sexy. rhett is a bull rider and he screwed up a huge sponsor. his agent assigns summer to be his ‘babysitter’ to help clean up his public image and keep him out of trouble. rhett can handle two months of traveling with summer by his side. all he has to do is stay professional, even if there’s a simmering attraction between them. what could go wrong?
i fell in love with rhett so fast. he’s so charming and is such a gentleman. even when he ‘hated’ her, he opened doors for her and made sure she walked on the inside of the sidewalk. i was literally swooning over the littlest things he did. he’s also so misunderstood, all he wants is to hold someone’s attention and be cared for. summer is the perfect person for him. she's loyal and she’s the first person to see through rhett’s facade and support his career choices. it warmed my heart seeing her cheer for him in the crowd when no one has ever been there. and in every show since then, he always looks for her in the stands 🥺🤍
the chemistry between them is incredible. there were so many moments that got me giddy and smiling so hard. the whipped cream and cowboy hat scenes are so hot and they’re some of my favorite jealousy scenes. the family dynamic is so lovely and fun, all i want is to spend a day with the eaton’s! also the text messages at the start of every chapter just add so much more to the book. i get so excited reading those and they always crack me up! pick this one up, i swear you’ll have the best time!!
Five brilliant stars. Summer and Rhett’s small town romance is everything in Flawless. You truly get pulled into the story and it feels like you’re experience their emotions with them.
The banter, found family, and delicious tension are wonderfully done and I am a huge fan of Elsie’s writing. I will be reading her backlist asap!
oh ur KIDDING this book is PERFECT!!! i obssessed i loved i died i laughed i cried i literally cannot wait to read the rest of this series!!! rhett slayed!! and summer is so perf
This was an AMAZING story! I was so happy to find the world of Chestnut Springs and cowboys. The men are built and yummy and the female leads are spunky and strong. Their relationship was everything I wanted and their growth was everything I needed. Now to get my hands on the rest of the series!
This was my first Elsie silver book and I was throughly impressed. It was such a cute read and I loved the characters . It’s definitely a five star read for me and I will definitely be reading the rest of the series . Thank you so much for giving me the arc and introducing me to her books !!
Fun and flirty! Beach read that is effortless and quick. Spice level was off the chart as well. Where are the bull riders around me?!
Currently up to date on this series and I have to say its now one of my all time favorites! I was a little skeptical at first but I love Elsie's writing and would read anything she writes. Check out this series if you're interested in: close knit family, cowboys, funny banter & texts, and healthy relationships! Here's my original review for this book:
I have decided to branch out of my comfort zone and give cowboy Romance a chance. Let me just say I was shocked. People actually call themselves cowboys? A man can hate milk that much? Did I really need to know there was *probably* cow shit on his boots? The manliness of the men was slightly terrifying to my gay self.. but? I loved it?
The beginning wasn’t the start. It was weird. Maybe I needed to be hit with the reality of cowboys first and then I could truly dive in. I was just hooked. Even when I thought things were a little weird.
I don’t even have the words to explain Rhett. He was spoiled, a bit of a brat, but he wanted love and attention that he just didn’t get as a kid or even an adult. He dedicated his life to the one thing that made him feel special. And then Summer walked into his life. She cared for him, rooted for him, and made him feel that way as well. Once he was in, he was all in, and I absolutely loved it.
Summer had so much to learn in this book and I’m so glad she did. This girl deserved so much more than she has received her whole life. Her past had me in awe and admiring her so much. This girl just gives and gives and gives. I loved seeing her finally let go and do what she wanted with her life.
These two were just the sweetest and oh so hot as well. My gooooooodness.. whew. I loved their banter, their connection, and their love for one another.
The side characters in the books were enjoyable and have me excited for the next books in the series! Summers dad had me dying laughing between his texts and the things he said after some certain drama.
Will be thinking about cowboys.. and cowgirls? 24/7 now🤠
I first read about the republishing of Elsie Silver's Chestnut Springs novels through Bloom Books from an Instagram reel. The first installment is a wonderful introduction to the quaint town and lively characters that will star in the sequels. Silver created a place that I wanted to live in with Rhett Eaton himself. It was a lovely read and I think she built the characters up in such a believable way, something that can be hard to find in this genre.
I give it a 3.5/5 for spice.
Thank you NetGalley, Elsie Silver and Source Bloom Books for this e-ARC in exchange for my honest opinion and review.
Holy smokes! I would gladly save a horse to ride this cowboy. What a fun, quick, well-written and spicy read! I CANNOT WAIT to continue this series.
Read if you love:
- Cowboys
- Rodeo
- Forced Proximity
- Enemies to Lovers
- One Bed
- Small Town
- Forbidden Romance (PR Agent/celebrity client)
Rhett and Summer are such a fun duo. I love the angsty build and hilarious banter. Summer works for a PR agency and gets charged with helping manage Rhett's image after scandal hits. But will they create some scandals of their own?
Favorite highlights:
"I'm finding I don't really care what people think where you're concerned."
"His hands are possessive on my body. Pulling me tight against him almost aggressively, while cradling my skull so delicately, and kissing me so carefully. He lights me up. He burns me down. And I bask in the heat."
"Now, tell me honestly, Summer. If this were your last moment on earth, what would you want me to do?" I don't even need to think about it. I know what I want from him. "Ruin me." "Good, I'm about fucking done being a gentleman with you. And the only thing I'm ruining you for is anyone else." ******SWOON*******
"I'm hit with a realization that sends me reeling. Summer wasn't just made for me. She's it for me."
This book came at a perfect time in my life because I needed a cowboy/rancher romance in my life. Rhett was the perfect one!! This was a steamy one with some family drama thrown into the mix! I enjoy my books to have a little more drama into them so let's see how the rest of the series pans out but so far, I'm loving all of the side characters and can't wait to see where this series takes them.
Thanks to NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review as always, all words are my own.
I started this series a little backward. I started with Winters story and through hers I knew I needed to go back to the begging and get Summers side of it all.
I have to say that it did take me a bit to connect with the characters but about a third of the way to I started to really enjoy the story. Summer has definitely been through the wringer and though she could let the world chew her up this girl has grit! She is sassy, fiery and definitely keeps Rhett in line! The way these two just complimented each other when they are total opposites is what I fell in love with!
They both helped the other see what they’ve been needing. Summer became Rhett’s home and reason. Rhett was Summers rock and he never let her forget that she’s worth it!
A very sweet love story! I love that this time the woman went and got her man!
Wow. I was so impressed by my 1st Elsie Silver book. Most of the chapters had a fun start that did provide more story, great characters and a bit of a twist I did not see coming partway.
I had a hard time putting this book down. W(ork suffered and I'll pay the price to catch up.)
Looking forward to picking up another from this author.
