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.
