Review: Wild Eyes - Book #2 Rose Hill Series - Elsie Silver - September 2024

As a dedicated reader of Elsie Silver’s work, I have to say that Wild Eyes has solidified my stance as being firmly Team Rose Hill. While Chestnut Springs and Gold Rush Ranch didn’t quite hold my attention, the Rose Hill series has been a delightful surprise, and Wild Eyes is a shining example of why. This book was a perfect blend of heartwarming, hilarious, and deeply emotional moments that kept me engaged from start to finish.

The story follows Skylar, a chart-topping country singer desperate for an escape after a string of bad press, and Weston Belmont, a rugged, confident, and utterly swoon-worthy single dad. From the moment Skylar sets foot in Rose Hill, she’s thrown headfirst into a world that’s completely different from her glamorous but chaotic life. What starts as a temporary retreat soon turns into something much more meaningful as she becomes entwined with not only Weston but also his two adorable children, Emmy and Ollie.

Skylar’s character was an interesting contrast—on one hand, she’s independent and fiercely determined, yet on the other, she’s hilariously out of her depth in small-town life. The moment she admitted she had never made a bed in her life had me laughing out loud, highlighting just how different her world is from Weston’s. However, what truly made this book special for me wasn’t just the romance—it was the relationship between Skylar and Weston’s kids. Emmy and Ollie stole my heart, bringing so much warmth and humor to the story. Their interactions with Skylar felt genuine and touching, showing a softer, more nurturing side to her that I absolutely adored.

While the challenges of Skylar’s celebrity status loomed in the background, the strength of her bond with Weston and his kids made me root for their happy ending. The emotional stakes felt real, and the romance was beautifully developed, making this one of my favorite reads of the series so far.

With Wild Side (Rhys and Tabby’s story) on the horizon, I’m more excited than ever to continue my journey in Rose Hill. If you love small-town romance, single dads, and stories that balance humor with heart, Wild Eyes is an absolute must-read!

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he...

Review: The Hoodie Girl - Yuen Wright - August 2021 Now and again, I will come across a book that I have never heard of and the author is also unknown to me and I will give them a go. This weekend, for me that was The Hoodie Girl by Yuen Wright. As readers know, I just absolutely adore the Library App - Libby and find so many awesome reads on there. In The Hoodie Girl we meet Wren who loves to try and be invisible, she is just skating by on life and has this obsession with her Red Hoodie - it's a comfort thing we later learn as a few years ago, Wren was in a car crash with her Dad and sister Emma.

That is until one day, she is bumped into by Asher Reed -he is the school's Mr. Popular and captain of the Hockey Team. As the week goes on, Asher needs to know the girl's name and soon he learns that she is none other...
