Wild Love
Rosie’s life is unraveling. She’s just lost her job, and doubts about her relationship with her boyfriend are creeping in. Seeking comfort, she returns to Rose Hill, the town where she grew up. The moment she’s back, she feels at home and starts wondering if leaving her city life behind might be the right choice. In need of work, she turns to Ford, her brother’s best friend, for a job.
Ford’s life seems picture-perfect—he was recently named the World’s Hottest Billionaire, and everything appears to be going his way. But his world is turned upside down when a young woman named Cora shows up, claiming to be his daughter and asking for his help. As if that wasn’t enough, Rosie—the only woman he’s ever truly loved—is back in town. He’s been in love with her since they were teenagers, and maybe now is his chance to finally prove it.
Review
Not too long ago, I finished all the book series I was reading, so I figured it was time to start some new ones. I picked up A Court of Thorns and Roses, The Hunger Games, and this book—the first in Elsie Silver’s Rose Hill series. I’ve already read her Chestnut Springs series and really enjoyed it. I like her writing style—yes, her books have a lot of spice, but that doesn’t bother me. If you’re not a fan of steamy romance, though, her books might not be for you.
Rosie loses her job, but considering her boss had been inappropriately touching her, she’s somewhat relieved. The worst part? Her boyfriend basically implied she should just ignore it. If a guy ever says that, run. Fast.
Then there’s Ford—insanely rich and willing to spend ridiculous amounts of money on Rosie. The way he cares for her and protects her is undeniable. He’s a good guy, even if he makes some questionable decisions along the way. Cora, too, is a fun and likable character.
One thing about Elsie’s books? They never disappoint me. I don’t think I’ve ever read one I didn’t enjoy. This one was no exception—it was fun, engaging, and easy to devour. Yes, there’s plenty of spice, but I honestly just skim over those parts. I wouldn’t have minded if they weren’t there at all.
My only issue was with Cora’s storyline. Showing up out of nowhere, claiming Ford is her biological father, and then immediately moving in with him? It felt a little unrealistic. I’m not sure how I feel about that subplot, but aside from that, I really liked the book.
