this was NOT an enemies to lovers romance. i have no idea why it’s marked as one, since it’s obviously a grumpy-sunshine romance.

the overall plot was questionable because why does a 30+ year old man need a babysitter? i personally think that was strange. are men that inept? i’m going to assume yes. though her becoming a babysitter led to us meeting some amazing side characters and my favorite scenes: the eaton family dinners.

summer and rhett were cute and the will-they-won’t-they dance they went through was so good to watch unfold. from the beginning their banter made me laughing so much and their chemistry was incredible, especially in the bedroom. their romance isn’t big and loud and dramatic, it’s cute and fluffy. though i do have to say that the third act breakup could’ve been avoided if! they! just! had! talked! they did overcome the shit that came their way with time and acknowledging their differences and shortcomings.

some things that occurred in the story pissed me the fuck off. her stepmother, half-sister, and predatory doctor/ex (who then became her brother-in-law!) deserved the worse but none of them faced any consequences for how horribly they treated summer.

i’m usually not a big stickler when it comes to writing but i couldn’t overlook some of the dialogue and how it did not flow like dialogue, which made it difficult to get through the characters’ conversations. but the rest of the writing was good.

all in all, despite there being nothing special about this book, it still intrigued me enough to read the next one because i grew found of the eaton brothers.

i think i now understand why people are downbad for cowboys… they’re hot. save a bull, ride a cowboy, indeed.

Hot damn! This book is just incredible. The only reason why I didn't put 5 stars it's because I liked Heartless more. Rhett Eaton! The man you are. This man is just *sigh**swoon*. I don't know how to explain it so I won't. He is just perfect. Summer, she is fierce, and so confident, and her growth is so good. I loved how we got to see how Summer was able to face her issues and be able to trust Rhett. Their relationship is also so good! I love the fact that they are able to support each other and it felt so natural and just right. They were meant to be and nobody can tell me otherwise. The fact that even though she was confident in herself she still struggled a lot and he was able to show her that she was worth of love and being freaking worshipped like the queen she is. The book is just so good and I don't know what else I can say. This book started my cowboy romance era. 

Memorable Quotes
  •  “She and I really are binary stars, stuck in each other’s orbit, drawn together by forces we can’t see or understand—but that we can feel.” 
  •  “What the hell is the cowboy hat rule? You wear the hat, you ride the cowboy.” 
  •  “You were out there this whole time, and now I know you exist, and I can never go back. Wouldn’t want to if I could.” 
  •  “Princess, you look like you were made for me."
    "I feel like I was made for you. 
  •  “Tell me what to do, Summer. Tell me, and I’ll do it. Was I unclear before? Because I want to be crystal clear now. I love you. I loved you the moment you walked into that boardroom and smirked at me like you knew something I didn’t. It bothered me, and I couldn’t stop thinking about it. Wanting to know what you know. I fixated on it, but I think I was just fixated on you.” 
  •  “He is nothing like any man I’ve been with. And that’s a blessing.

What a great introduction to the world of cowboy smut 🤠

Seriously, I’ve never really been into that small town romance or hallmark movie vibe - nothing against it, it’s just not very me.

The pacing throughout Flawless was excellent, it was just the right amount of angst and the dual POV really added to all those feelings. And when the first kiss finally happened….. I literally squealed and slammed my hand down onto the arm of my sofa 🤣 as an avid romance reader I’m usually straight faced throughout even the raunchiest of scenes but something about Rhett and Summer turned me into a giggling teenager.

So even if small town romances aren’t your thing I would fully recommend taking Flawless for a ride! I’ve heard the second book is even better and I can’t wait to get stuck in!!!

For the first book of the Chestnut Springs series this book did not disappoint. It's everything you want from a small town sport romance. Also fair warning it also kinda makes you slightly interested in bull riding. (Just a little). You won't get it now but once you read it, you'll get it. Rhett will make you swoon, feel sorry for him and feel happy for him all at the same time. Also we love Summer. Having a strong, witty female character that can hold her own makes it so much better. Yes this book is a romance but I love the fact that it's not really the main plot of book. The book is about them but it also goes further than them. The trauma that each of them have makes you empathetic towards them both but makes you proud of how they overcome their fears and trauma. It really focuses on the important values in life and makes you think if what you are doing right now in life is what you really want to do. At some parts the book becomes heavy and full of emotion but the comedic element and snarky remarks help lighten the mood a lot. If you are looking for a new series to start, or you just want to read this as a stand alone. I would one hundred percent recommend 'Flawless'.
