Elsie Silver simply does not mess. If you think all you’re getting is a spicy cowboy romance, You’re wrong!

She delivers knockout dialogue, and emotional character development, and best friend’s sister trope drama!

Okay this "single dad" romance was SO FUN.

It was absolutely, hands down the most unique take on the single dad trope that I have ever read!

Ford Grant is a billionaire who has worked his butt off to be where he is. Even though he came from money, his dad made sure he didn't take any of it for granted. With a passion for music, Ford finds himself starting his own record company... to add to the fun, the only woman he's ever loved needs his help, as well as a little girl he had no idea existed.

Rosie is at a huge pivotal moment in her life. With a failed job and love life, she finds herself back in Rose Hill-- indefinitely. And being the person she is, she demands that Ford hire her 🤭😈

Rosie and Ford were so fire hot, I was completely obsessed. Ford has always harboured feelings for Rosie, but always thought she was out of reach. I love all the ways he SHOWED her without telling her. The key, the dock, the journal. 🥹🥹🥹 He may have been s billionaire, but he was all golden retriever and I was here for all of it.

I absolutely loved the friendship between Ford and West. They are a true bromance, ride or die friendship. I love how supportive West was.

And CORA. Guysssss. I loved this storyline so much. 🥹

Elsie just reminds me of being back in Tennessee on a fall day in a hammock no problems no cares. If I could bottle that feeling up I'd call it an E.S book for sure

This was my first Elsie Silver book. I really loved it. It was so funny, sweet, the spice was great. Just a really well rounded read that felt easy and uplifting. I will definitely be reading more.

I love Elsie Silver and Wild Love was no exception. This was a perfect interpretation of brother's best friend! Can't wait for book two.

Elsie silver is one of my favourite authors of all time! So when I found out she was writing another single dad romance, her first one being my favourite she’s written, I was thrilled. This was nothing short of the romances I absolutely adore and love to read. Seeing Willa again brought so much joy to me, as did the main romance within the story. I’m so excited to see what comes next.

Rosie, the protagonist of this story, returns to her small hometown after years of living in the big city. There, she encounters her childhood crush, Ford Grant, who has become a highly successful businessman. Despite the growing tension, both are dealing with significant personal issues. Will they be able to make it work?

This story felt like a blend of Fifty Shades with a touch of small-town charm.

After hearing so much about Elsie Silver, I was excited to read this as my introduction to her work. However, after finishing the book and discussing it with her fans, I wouldn't recommend it as a first read for new readers. I wanted more plot and was particularly drawn to the subplot involving Ford and his daughter, which I wished had been more prominent than the dynamic with Rosie. While I have been convinced to explore more of Elsie Silver's books, this one was different from my taste.

This was my first Elsie Silver book, it definitely took me a while to get around to it. However, all my colleagues insisted I read it. I was honestly a little dissapointed with it, took a while for the romance to blossom. Ford was after Rosie for so long, for decades and yet he hasnt seen her for so long. I dont know about you but if I was that crazy about someone I would do something about it. THe whole romance bit felt a little forced for me it was not as natural as I would have liked it to be. The will they wont they lasted a while. and the tropes of small town, dad billionaire wasnt really my thing. Not my favourite read but still liked the style of writing might just be a more personal preference !

As someone who ATE UP the Chestnut Springs series (and more importantly Heartless was one of my faves of the series), I was SO hyped for Wild Love - a single dad, small town romance, and billionaire romance? Sign me up! Overall, I really, really enjoyed this book. It had enough of the vibes of the Chestnut Springs series without being too similar to it - and it served as a great starter to this new series. Ford and Rosie were pretty darn cute together - I loved their banter and chemistry. My only gripe was that there were a few points that felt a little too trope-y, but I'm willing to chalk that up to the series finding its rhythm.

Elsie Silver is a wonderful author, and all of her books are good. She does not have a single bad book.

Love this billionaire romance! I originally thought it was going to be cowboy but this still really worked for me! Such a great love story and a good time

I’ve largely enjoyed Elsie Silver’s books in the the past. ‘Wild Love’ took that to whole new levels, consider me a fan and I’m now eagerly awaiting the next book in this series.

I can’t honestly pinpoint a single change that prompted my obsession with this book. Suffice it to say it just ticked all my boxes. Ford’ awkward charm and Rosie’s brassy attitude were electric together. The tropes were tropey goodness and handled perfectly. This book accomplishes both feeling comfortably familiar and unique enough for the characters to stick with you. Small town romance goodness

AHHHHH
This book was absolutely EVERYTHING 🥰

Elsie silver truly cannot do any wrong! There’s just something about her writing that feels like home 🩵

Don’t you love it when ford grant …
YES
Yes I do. I don’t even need to finish the sentence . I love everything about that man!

Things I loved in this book :

- THE EMAILS 🥹 excuse me ??! They were 100% my favorite part of the book!

Exemple : “Your emails are very formal. Blink twice if you’ve been possessed? Or kidnapped? I’d feel better if you just insulted me.”

This is just 1 exemple but literally all of them were so funny 😂

- Rosie’s sass
- The way Rosie had Ford wrapped around her little finger 🥹
-Willa’s little Cameo 💕 I missed her
-Ford’s relationship with Cora 🥹


Here’s a few Ford quotes I also LOVED (NO SPOILER)

“There’s nothing funny about the way I want you.”

“I definitely don’t hate you, Rosie. Not even close. But I can fuck you like I do if that’s what you need.” 🤭🥵 SIRRRR

“I broke every speed limit to get to you.”🫠

Okay I don’t wanna spoil anything so I’ll stop here but I definitely think you should read it 💕

Read this if you like :

Brother’s best friend
Friends to lovers but also kinda enemies to lovers
He falls first
He falls hard
Slowburn 🔥
Spicyyy 🌶️🌶️.5
Small town romance

"I broke every speed limit to get to you."

Elsie Silver can literally never write a bad book! I have loved all her books! And I LOVE Wild Love. I could not put this book down and wish I could read it for the first time again.

Everything about this book kept me hooked. The hate/love, the banter, Rosalie being a smart ass, diary pages, and Ford secretly pinning. It was literally everything I wanted and more! I was giggling, kicking my feet, and blushing the entire time.

Ford… or should I say Daddy? He was perfect. He lives rent free in my mind and I don’t want to get him out! Ford literally had me swooning with the things he did without her knowing and willing to do anything for her. Also that DIRTY MOUTH *fanning myself*, like take notes gentleman because HOT DAMN. The spice was delicious. He is simply the *chefs kiss* perfection.

Rosalie is fierce, badass, independent, protective, and sassy. Rosie is a FMC that I loveee. She is hysterical, I wish I was as witty and funny as her! She was so sweet with Cora taking her under her wing, it made me emotional.

When I started this book it was obvious that Ford and Rosalie are meant for each other! The banter was TOP tier, it had me rolling with laughter and giggling like crazy. I swooned countless times for the little things Ford has done for Rosie, in both the past and present. Can Ford be my boyfriend please?

Another part I loved was the father-daughter relationship. It was so sweet, it made me teary eyed. I love the single dad trope and this one was so different from any I read before! I loved the different take on single dad, it was done flawlessly.
This book includes:
Brothers best friend
Single dad
Secret pining (he falls first)
Frenemies to lovers
Workplace romance
AMAZING Banter
Diary entries
5/5 stars
2/5 spice

How cutie!!

I loveeeeed this! It has some of my favorite tropes: brother’s best friend, childhood friends, “enemies to lovers,” and small-town romance. My favorite, of course, was brother’s best friend—I love that forbidden love. 😏

I didn’t love how much of a slow burn this was, but when they finally got together, it was EVERYTHING!! Ford is the sweetest😍

Spice was like 3/5 🌶️🌶️🌶️ because there wasn’t too much of it, but when there will is was 👌🏻

(Thank you, Bloom Books and NetGalley, for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.)

This book was so good I can't even express it. I read this book in a single day. I absolutely loved Ford and Rosie, and I think that this series is going to be just as good, if not better, than the Chestnut Springs series, which I absolutely adored. Elsie Silver can do no wrong!

Elise Silver is able to write books that tacke emotionally large topics throughout the book, while still reading as a light, heartwarming and steamy romance. Ford is Rosalie's brother's bestfriend and after Rosalie returns home after losing her big city job, Ford the now Billionare offers her a job at his new recording studio. Full of sexual tensions, simmering spice and Ford Grant who will do anything for Rosalie and Cora, his daugher that he was a sperm donor for.

"Are you single?"
"Yes, are you?"
"I don't know"
"Next time you ask me that, make sure you are"

Elsie Silver can do no wrong. This book was so full of tropes and I loved every single one of them. It was so fun to be back in the Chestnut Springs universe but starting a new series with new characters. I can’t wait for the next one!
