I wanted to read this book because I'm really enjoying the Chestnut Series and when I heard that Elsie was writing a new series, I instantly pre-ordered this book.

This book has two points of view. The first is Ford Grant, he has been labelled by Forbes as the World’s Hottest Billionaire, but he doesn’t care about labels, all he wants to do is escape the press and open a recording studio in the gorgeous small-town Rose Hill. Something that comes to a screeching halt when he ends up face-to-face with a young girl who claims he’s her biological father. Now, he spends his day balancing business with parenting with a sullen twelve-year-old, all while trying desperately to keep his hands the hell off his best friend’s sister, Rosie. The second point of view is Rosie Belmont, she has been living in the city, with a boyfriend who have both fell out of love with each other, a job she’s just been fired from after her boss inappropriately touched her. So now she’s back in her town like a storm. She’s beautiful, messy and chaotic. And she is wide-eyed and desperate to get a job, Ford hires her as his assistant, but he has vowed to keep her at arm’s length. Ford tries to stick to scowls and grumpy one-liners. But with her, verbal sparring is a type of foreplay – friction that soon turns to blistering heat. Ford knows damn well he shouldn’t cross the line but shouldn’t and can’t are two very different things. And the only thing he truly can’t do is resist her.

This book was so fun and flirty, and I enjoyed the romance between Ford and Rosie. I love the Grant family and enjoy the cameo from Willa, she was hilarious, and I've just finished Willa’s book, so I was giggling and kicking my feet. I love that Gemma was no-bullshit type of mum but also as a sex therapist knew exactly what Ford and Rosie were going through with the new relationship troubles. I cannot wait to see the family dynamic grow especially with West during this book. I love Cora and that the women in this family will protect a kid like they are their own.

Rosie was a bit whish-washy at times, one minute she is wanting a big strong alpha to protect her and to fight for her, but then was getting pissed when her brother and her lover did that for her? Like girl, make up your mind. The third act conflict wasn’t needed, Ford needed to stand up for himself and be like this is what you wanted, and I don’t regret it and instead he just gave up and came crawling back.

I love that Elsie has practically introduced all the characters that are going to be in the series within the bowling team (hopefully I'm right about that prediction), and it was a solid first book and I cannot wait to carry on this series.

I would give this book ten stars if I could. Elsie Silver may have finally knocked Cade Eaton out of the number one spot with Ford Grant. I only wish the book was longer or that Rosie and Ford were getting a book series just focused on them because they have to be one of my favorite book couples in a long time! This book had me giggling and swooning the whole time. Also, Rosie is 100% a Leo because she and I were on the same wavelength for the entire book.

Elsie Silver has done it again. Everything you love about a steamy romcom is wrapped up in this book and I think that’s all I need to say about that. Book two can’t come any sooner.

Overall: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Writing: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Plot: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Characters: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️

Tropes: Billionaire, Small Town, Single Guardian, Brother’s Best Friend, He Falls First, Childhood Friends to Lovers

3rd Act Breakup?: No

The Praise: Ford and Rosie’s love story was so sweet and I loved getting glimpses at their younger days through Rosie’s diary entries. I also really enjoyed their banter and their overall dynamic. Ford and Rosie’s unique relationships with Cora were also a highlight for me.

I’m not usually a huge fan of the Brother’s Best Friend trope because I hate how most brothers act as though they have some sort of authority over their sister and who she dates, despite her being a grown woman. BUT in Wild Love, West is so kind and supportive of them and I really loved that.

The Critique: I wish there had been more Cora. Ford has this revelation that what he should do is help Cora have childhood experiences she hasn’t had before due to her dad’s illness, but then we don’t really see that happening on the page which is disappointing.

Final Thoughts: Overall, I really enjoyed this one. Elsie has a talent for writing swoony heroes and fiery heroines and I love her for it.
