Wild Card

De: Elsie Silver

Narrado por: Connor Crais, Megan Wicks

Sebastian Rousseau is a grumpy, hot as hell fire pilot who is too damn good with his hands. It’s the perfect combination. But unfortunately for me, he’s also my ex-boyfriend’s dad.

A chance meeting brought us together and a missed connection has kept us apart.

One year later, a stroke of fate has us living under the same roof—which makes everything between us downright messy. Because even after all this time, he’s still the man I think about when I fall asleep. The one I can’t get over no matter how hard I try.

He’s working on mending a fragile relationship with his son and we both know acting on these urges would be the ultimate betrayal. But I see the heat in his eyes. That look of need that never fails to send a shiver down my spine.

The mutual longing is borderline unbearable and the simmering heat between us is downright palpable. We both know there are rules when it comes to situations like this. But then again…following the rules never has been my strong suit.

Love me a ex-boyfriend’s dad trope ❤️‍🔥

True to Elsie Silver fashion, Wild Card was a fantastic read! I have been DYING to find out more about broody firefighter pilot Sebastian and she delivered!

Sebastian meets Gwen by chance during a layover in an airport. They have a meet cute that leaves them both desperate for more. When they are finally able to meet again there’s just one problem… She’s dating his son.

I seriously did not know how this was going to play out. You so badly want to automatically dislike Bash’s son to maybe justify the situation of Bash and Gwen being together. But Tripp is just the product of his upbringing and you really feel for the guy.

The storyline was really well written. You feel for everyone on all sides: the passion between Bash and Gwen, the torment that Bash is going through with trying to have a relationship with his son, as well as the guilt of secretly dating his ex-girlfriend. But don’t worry… Clyde will save you with his laugh out loud comedic relief. I have loved this crazy character since the beginning of the Rose Hill series and I’m glad we got to take a deeper dive into his tanned you-know-what (IYKYK 🤣)

So sad for this series to end, but grateful it happened!!

Ps… Connor Crais might be my narration kryptonite.

Those Voices!!!

Conner was the absolute perfect choice for Sebastian. And thank you Megan for bringing a strong voice to a strong character! I can’t stand when the FMC sounds like a sorority pledge with a high pitched voice.
The Sebastian, Gwen, and Clyde characters are written beautifully! Don’t we all want Clyde to have his own book now?! I’d be down for a silver read. 🤷🏻‍♀️ At least it would be hilarious!
Honestly, I’m conflicted where Tripp is concerned… but I think that was the point, right?
And Elsie…. THANK YOU SO MUCH for finally writing a FMC who has curves!

perfect ending to an amazing series

Bash was the biggest the fattest the loudest YES for me. This was by far my favorite one of the series, what an amazing way to end.

CLYDE WAS THE BEST and ate this whole book.. I love gwen actually with my entire heart and related to her so much it actually pained me. Bash fucking daddy bash, the ultimate hot dad, period point blank.

AND THE CAMEO AT THE END!!!! This book slapped so hard

My favorite book of the series now

Bash, my new favorite Rose Hill book boyfriend, was absolutely perfect. If you’re not immersed in reading this with an audiobook, I highly suggest stopping and listening to it as well. Oh my goodness, that was incredibly hot!

In this book, we have Bash, the grumpy fire fight pilot, and Gwen, the yoga instructor. She’s the perfect yin to his yang, and the tension and angst in this book were next level. The spice was mouthwatering!

There’s a meet cute, a missed connection that kept them apart, and fate that brings them back together. Plus, there’s a son he never knew he had, which adds to the messiness of the story. I’m here for it!

This book is a must-read!

Sad for the end of this series

This was a lovely end to the Rose Hill series. I really loved the characters and how it tied things up with so many people. Though this is age gap and ex boyfriend’s dad, the way that it works out doesn’t feel so scandalous. I really loved seeing the progression of the relationship. And seeing how Gwyn fit in with everyone. And Clyde. He might be the best part of the whole thing.
