Wild Side
Tabitha just lost her sister and is now taking care of her nephew, Milo. But she soon finds out that Rhys is listed as the official guardian. Tabitha doesn’t understand why and blames Rhys for her sister’s death. Rhys isn’t the worst man in the world, and he also believes Tabitha can care for Milo, but there’s one big problem: he doesn’t have the right visa to stay in Canada since he lives and works in Florida. At first, he wants to take Milo with him, but eventually Tabitha and Rhys decide to get married so he can get his visa and they can both raise Milo together.
Review
If you know me a little, you probably know that I love Elsie’s books. They are light reads and just perfect when you want something enjoyable but not too heavy. This is the third book in the Rose Hill series. Technically, you could read them as standalones, but I always recommend reading them in the right order.
I’m really starting to love this Rose Hill small town. After three books, it feels like I’m part of it and the characters are my friends. Is that weird? Maybe a little. This time, the story isn’t only set in Rose Hill though; some parts also take place in Florida, where Rhys works as a WWE wrestler. His character, Wild Side, is very popular.
The characters are likeable as well. Rhys looks intimidating since he’s big and strong, but he’s actually a nice guy who takes care of the people he loves. He really cares about Milo, even though they aren’t related. Tabitha is nice too. At first, she doesn’t like Rhys because she basically blames him for her sister’s death. But after reading her sister’s diaries, she starts to understand what really happened. Together, Rhys and Tabitha are fire, the chemistry is there right from the start.
I liked the first half of the book; it was good, but I wasn’t obsessed or in love with the story yet. That all changed around the halfway point. I enjoyed the wrestling parts too, which surprised me. I’ve never watched a wrestling match in my life and it doesn’t sound like my thing, but somehow I found myself enjoying it in this book. I also loved how Ford’s kid (from the first book, Wild Love) turned out to be Wild Side’s biggest fan without even knowing it was Rhys all along.
The chemistry in this book was amazing, and I think it might be my favorite in the Rose Hill series so far. I still have one book left to read (Wild Card), and I know that story is going to be interesting. I’m so excited to get to it soon. Elsie Silver’s books are my comfort reads, and she has never disappointed me.
