Wild Love

Rose Hill, Book 1

De: Elsie Silver

Narrado por: Zachary Webber, Vanessa Edwin

Rosie Belmont has been driving me wild for years. The good kind of wild. The bad kind of wild. But mostly the kind of wild that comes with wanting your best friend’s little sister and knowing you can’t have her.

After living in the city, she comes blasting back into Rose Hill like a storm. Beautiful, messy, and chaotic.

And one wide-eyed desperate plea for a job is all it takes for me to hire her.

Forbes may have labeled me the World’s Hottest Billionaire but all I care about is opening my new recording studio. Something that comes to a screeching halt when I end up face-to-face with a young girl who claims I’m her biological father.

Now I spend my days balancing business with parenting a sullen twelve-year-old all while trying desperately to keep my hands the hell off my best friend’s little sister.

I vow to keep Rosie at arm’s length. I try to stick to scowls and grumpy one-liners. But with her verbal sparring is merely foreplay—friction that turns to blistering heat.

I know damn well I shouldn’t cross that line.

But shouldn’t and can’t are two very different things.

And the only thing I truly can’t do is resist her.

Completely speechless after listening to these two narrate!!

Two of my absolute favorites to listen to! Elsie did an incredible job and the writing completely blew me away… but listening to Vanessa Edwin & Zachary Webber retell Wild Love, took my breath away. I could listen to them all day & never get over their voices and the way the writing flows. I can’t recommend this book and audio enough. I read an ARC & knew I had to listen to the audio immediately!!

Great airport read… if you have a straight face.

The people on my flight probably think I am crazy the amount of times I giggled and laughed. The banter in this story is amazing and the narrators pulled it off effortlessly!

The E-mails Though

Elsie is just doing her thing. Making me laugh and bringing me all the boss girl vibes and some fantastic spice!

I’m not usually a lover of Cinnamon Roll heros but I adore Ford. He Falls First and I was so here for it. He’s been secretly pining after his best friend’s little sister for most of their lives while Rosie thinks they’re frenemies.

The banter between these two is amazing. The e-mails had me rolling 😆 the spice was 🎨😮‍💨 throw in some small town, billionaire and boss vibes too.

I love how Elsie took some standard tropes and spun them on their heads. Is Ford technically a single dad? Yeah… but like… ISH.

Ford and Rosie are amazing. The addition of Cora was so fun. I loved how she connected with both of them.

Their families were a riot and seeing Willa again was awesome. I can’t wait to see where this series goes.

Zachary Webber and Vanessa Edwin did a phenomenal job on bringing these characters to life.

4.5/5

Ford and Rosie

I was so excited when this book was released. We got a little glimpse of Ford in Heartless (the Chestnut Springs book #2). Ford is Willa's brother. Do you need to read that series to know what's going on here, NO but it's also really amazing so why wouldn't you!

Ford is the child of a rock star. He's always had a rich life. However, he also has worked hard to make a name for himself. His current title is World's hottest billionaire bachelor, not a title he is thrilled to carry. He is excited about a new venture of opening a recording studio out in the small town where he spent every summer as a child. He wants to get a away from the city and thinks this is the perfect place to have a creative space for musical artists. He has bought the property next to his best friend. Little did he know a daughter (Cora) he never even knew about would show up on his doorstep and ask for help. On top of that his best friends little sister comes home after her work/personal life takes a dramatic turn. Rosie is the girl that Ford has always wanted but because he's older and it's his best friends little sister, he thinks this is something that can never be. These two have a fren-enemies relationship to start. She thought Ford always looked at her like the annoying little sister but that's not the case. When she comes home in need of a job, she asks Ford if she can help him, he would never say no to her. Rosie becomes a huge help to Ford and his relationship with Cora.

There are so many great moments in this book. I laughed, swooned and cried while reading it. This fren-enemies to lovers hits all the right marks. I loved both Zachary and Vanessa's performances. I didn't want it to end. I can't wait for book 2.

Ford & Rosie

How does one write a review for a book as freakin fantastic as this? This book, these characters, their love story was completely intoxicating. After moving back home, Rosie finds herself around Ford a lot. Ford used to be her crush but is also her brother’s best friend. Ford is suddenly a single dad and I really loved this part of the storyline. It wasn’t your typical “surprise you have a child” story. It was sweet the way that Ford was connecting with Cora, and not just Ford but Rosie too. Cora added a little something special to the book and the way that Ford and Rosie interacted. Because she was older, she had grown up opinions and thoughts on things. Rosie ends up with a job working for Ford which maximized the amount of time together.

This was a slow burn but it really gave time to build Rosie and Ford’s relationship. They are soulmates and their chemistry just burns from the very beginning. I love the way they banter with each other, but they also say the sweetest things to each other. From the very first page, I was completely enamored by the chemistry between our Ford & Rosie. Their connection radiates off the pages, drawing me into their world of tender moments, heartfelt conversations, and loads of banter.

I am obsessed with Elsie’s writing. She can tell a story like no other. She really creates this entire world that makes you feel like you are there. And the characters are well developed. While I do love the swoony men that she writes, she also is known for writing some bada$$ females and Rosie is in the top 3 favorite FMC of Elsie’s along with Billie and Willa.

Zachary Webber and Vanessa Edwin really put in everything they have to this audiobook! They completely transformed to the characters and really matched their energy. It was such a great listen. I know I will be listening to this one frequently.
