Reckless Review

By Elsie Silver

Chestnut Spring Book 4

Star rating: ★★★★★

Blurb

Theo Silva. Rowdy bull rider. Notorious ladies' man. Scorching hot trouble wrapped up in a drool-worthy package.

And he's looking at me like I might be his next meal.

But I'm almost free of my toxic marriage and have sworn off men entirely. So all I see when I look back is temptation served up with a heaping side of heartbreak.

The man is hard to trust-and even harder to resist.

Make that impossible. Because Theo is persistent. And no matter how hard I try to freeze him out, he melts my icy exterior and pulls apart all my defenses.

Over a drink in a small town bar, I blurt out my deepest, darkest secrets. Then I spend the singular hottest night of my life with him.

He worships my body. He makes me blush. I come alive beneath his hands.

Then I tell him to forget it ever happened. I want simple, and with him it all feels complicated.

It was supposed to be a one-time thing.

A secret.

But that little plus sign is going to make this secret impossible to keep.

My Thoughts:

I have been really excited for Reckless because I am a big fan of accidental pregnancy and I have been wanting to learn more about Winter!

I did end up liking Reckless a lot but I had a moment of doubt when I realized that it is more secret baby than accidental pregnancy. While the tropes are very similar, accidental pregnancy often works for me while secret baby does not. However, I shouldn't have doubted Elsie Silver because I ended up really enjoying this one!

Theo is such a cinnamon roll hero that he even has a grumpy dog he dotes on. I loved seeing his emotion when he learned what he missed out on and loved seeing Winter finally get someone to rely on.

I expected to like this series but I have been consistently so impressed by it. It gets a lot of hype but in my opinion, it's so well deserved!
