A brand-new standalone novel in the New York Times bestselling Briar U series!
What I learned after last year’s distractions cost my hockey team our entire season? No more screwing up. No more screwing, period. As the new team captain, I need a new philosophy: hockey and school now, women later. Which means that I, Hunter Davenport, am officially going celibate…no matter how hard that makes things.
But there’s nothing in the rulebook that says I can’t be friends with a woman. And I won’t lie—my new classmate Demi Davis is one cool chick. Her smart mouth is hot as hell, and so is the rest of her, but the fact that she’s got a boyfriend eliminates the temptation to touch her.
Except three months into our friendship, Demi is single and looking for a rebound.
And she’s making a play for me.
Avoiding her is impossible. We’re paired up on a yearlong school project, but I’m confident I can resist her. We’d never work, anyway. Our backgrounds are too different, our goals aren’t aligned, and her parents hate my guts.
Hooking up is a very bad idea. Now I just have to convince my body—and my heart.

Ford.Grant. That is all
Format: Kindle
Umm ok so this was literally the most PERFECT thing. This book is special. These characters are special and beautiful, and so wonderful. So precious. I love them all. I love this book. I'm blown away.
You know those rare books that enchant you from the very first sentence, the ones that grab your heart and don’t let it go? THIS. This is one of those books. I adore this book with my entire heart. It was so utterly perfect in all the best and right ways. I honestly just wish I could go back and read this again for the first time because it was SO GOOD.
I devoured this in two days and was just absolutely giddy while reading about Ford and Rosie’s love story. I swear, Elsie Silver wrote my love language with these two. The sarcastic and witty exchanges between them is what I absolutely loved and couldn’t get enough of. Their attraction towards one another and the fact they were so clearly head over heels in love was undeniable and the tension between the two of them was so palpable that it gave me all the feels. My heart absolutely ached for these two, even when I was literally laughing out loud over their banter. And boy, the way they loved each other just swept me off my feet in my most favourite way.
I don’t know what my favourite part of this story was. There isn’t just one. There’s many. It’s all of it. There’s so much to it that if I was to really dive into it, I’d come out with an essay. All of that to say, I loved it. I really, really loved this story. Soul level and all the good stuff. I cannot say anything bad about this book. It’s up there as one of my all-time favourites and I love it with every fibre of my being. A million hats off to Elsie Silver for this one, because I know this is a story I’ll be thinking about for a long time. Elsie Silver can truly do no wrong. She is the blueprint, and I will read her books forever.

Banter and tension and a little storm cloud perfection
Format: Kindle
I'm convinced that Elsie Silver puts some sort of crack in her books.
They are always exciting and immediately grab you, especially with the characters. And Wild Love is no exception. Great characters all around with such a perfect journey to their HEA.
You know the kind of relationship you might have with a friend's younger sibling? The one where you're kind of mean but maybe deep down you like them? Like the juvenile antics of pulling the girl's ponytail on the playground when you are just a kid? THAT is Ford and Rosie! From when they were teens to even now as adults and I frickin loved the fire banter that gave them. These two are hilarious together, yet you could feel their tension was building up to something even more.
"That journal entry is fascinating, but all wrong. I was at home when you called that night. And I broke every speed limit to get to you."
While I absolutely loved Ford and Rosie's characters and the way they played off one another, I actually really liked another character and the relationship she had with both Rosie and Ford. And she's the little storm cloud that no one saw coming. She is the reason I initially fell for Ford from the first chapter. Because if you weren't already swooning at the very beginning of this story for Ford Grant, then this may not be the book for you. But the way this man steps up for a stranger claiming that she's his daughter and he just does 'the right thing' is unheard of. Maybe slightly unbelievable, but this is why we read romance and that is why there are Ford Grants. Because we see that decision is totally and 100% him over the course of the story. And that girl? Cora? She is the perfect character to upend his world for a time. Loved how they made their situation work and I loved how everything grew not only between the two of them, but also between her and Rosie. Small things became big things with these 3 and I couldn't have loved it more.
Elsie Silver gave us such a great start to a brand new series. The characters are sexy and hilarious and just work together perfectly. I cannot wait to continue with this series.
If you enjoy:
Single Dad
Small town
Frenemies to lovers
Best Friend's sister
with the best cast of characters that delivered great banter and sizzling chemistry, then Wild Love is THE book to pick up!

Review: I don't even know where to begin with this one! I'm WILDY OBSESSED! I absolutely LOVED Ford and Rosie! We met Ford in Heartless in the Chestnut Springs series. I loved the little bits we got and couldn't way to get Ford's story! This is one of those books that I struggle to write a review for because I loved it so much that I worry I won't do it justice! I loved it so freaking much! Just read it! NOW! The End! Just kidding, kind of.😝
Rosalie Belmont comes back to Rose Hill due to some unforseen changes in her life. She has worked so hard and life isn't turning out like she thought it would. Ford is the World's Hottest Billionaire. He's making a home in Rose Hill and setting up his new Recording Studio when he gets an unexepected knock at his door. One he never saw coming. The connection between Ford and Rosie was so incredible. You could literally feel it come off the page. I laughed so hard at the banter between them, and their emails were pretty much my favorite. I think I had a smile on my face for 90+% of this book! The way Ford will do anything for the women he loves. He was so protective and absolutely incredible. I LOVE Ford Grant Jr! The storyline of this book was fabulous in every way. So unique and fun! I loved how we were able to get bits of their past sprinkled throughout. I was not expecting the single dad trope to be what it was, but I loved it even more because of it! Cora🌧 captured my heart and I am so thankful that she has Ford and Rosie in her life. I loved seeing Willa and her quirkiness. I will never get over her! I can't wait for West's story! And Dad's Night Out bowling league had me cracking up!😂
I listened to the audiobook by Vanessa Edwin and Zachary Webber. These two are a FANTASTIC duo and did such a great job bringing Rosie and Ford to life!
SO FREAKING GOOD! I highly recommend this book and especially this audiobook! I have already started relistening to it!😝😂 Definitely at TOP READ of 2024!

⭐⭐⭐.5
Format: Kindle
The best part of this book is Ford. Hands down. No question. And to be honest, he deserves someone better than Rosie. I get that she’s supposed to be the whirlwind of a woman who can stand on her own two feet and doesn’t need a man telling her what to do. But, am I allowed to say that she just got annoying after a while?
The reason for the high-ish rating considering my disdain for the main character is the rest of the characters. I ended up loving Cora, and the relationship that she forged with Ford was a major selling point for me. Her situation was utterly crappy, and her sullen demeanor reflected that in conjunction with teenage angst very well. I loved how they bonded over a mutual love of music, and his approach to letting her know that he cared without being creepy or too overzealous.
I also liked Ford’s parents. His father is a famous musician, so he grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth. However, Cora comes to be because his father wants him to make his own way in the world. I haven’t ever read a book that took this approach, and it was a cool twist of fate. Wes adds some comedy to the plot as Rosie’s older brother, and I am intrigued by his story in book 2.
All in all, this is a very easy read with enough spice to keep you from skipping to the end. It just wasn’t my favorite.

LOVED this book!!!
Format: Kindle
I feel like this fit perfectly into the “wholesome spice” category — warm hug / feel good vibes, slow burn, enemies / rivals to lovers, small town romance, childhood crushes — it was all just very sweet! Some parts of this book also were so funny I not only laughed out loud, but read the excerpts to my husband because I was so amused. Very enjoyable & easy read!
