One of my faves! Hated it when Rob showed up again, thought we were done with that guy. Finally got what he deserved. Ugh Theo got my heart! Read it in about 3/4 sittings which is honestly very fast for me, too bad how much time was in between the sittings

so good, loved winter A LOT

This book was winter’s and Theo’s and was a secret baby trope where they had a one night stand and she messaged him saying she’s prego and his manager replied like rudely and she thought that was Theo and then 18 month later where the main story is. This is where she’s clueless and he’s doesn’t even know he has a child and yeah it was cute.  Theo is defo one of my favourite book boyfriends.

I loved that it was so different than her other books, I loved winters personal growth in this book and doesn’t everyone wants a Theo…. Really liked the mending between summer and winter and winter and her dad! Spice like a 3,75/5

I felt so deeply for Winter and everything she went through. It is funny that Elsie used the two most disliked tropes and managed to write this book. I cried, laughed and was along for the ride.

after a break from reading romance books I dove back in with this one and loved the story of Winter and Theo. I didn’t expect to like the storyline so much of a one night stand/ love at first sight to family & relationship so much as this was the first book I had read with this plot, but it just seemed to work 

I also like that they kept mentioning Beau’s storyline and struggles so that it linked to the next book

As much as I did enjoy this book, very similar to the others in the series it’s a very easy quick read of a cowboy romance and great palette cleaner sort of book so that’s why it has 3 stars- it does what you want it to do (it’s a cute, cowboy romance with a happy ending)

           3/5

Don’t get me wrong, it was enjoyable, at least at the beginning, but I mainly came here for the book boyfriend people claimed Theo Silva was, but instead I got a man who does the bare minimum. I mean, a man who cleans, takes care of his child, loves his woman, protects her and stands by her side, is and should be the bare minimum.


This series was either a blast for me or a complete disappointment. The second book was great, I had fun reading it, but the rest I either didn't like or couldn't get through the first chapters. And yes, I'm mainly talking about the last book, which I gave up on in the third chapter because a hero who drives home drunk several times is not someone I could ever like. This book was okay. Honestly, I devoured the first fifty percent of this book in one sitting, I couldn't stop reading because I really wanted to get to the point where Theo founds out he has a daughter with Winter. I'm not a fan of unexpected pregnancy books, but I live for a man's reaction to finding out he's a dad. Only if it's a good reaction, but waiting for it always keeps me on my toes. That's probably why I liked the first part, but I found the second part of the book boring. I don't know exactly why, but I just lost interest. Maybe because nothing interesting was happening. Probably, but that's the main reason why my rating is this way.

Moving on to our main characters. I liked Winter, I didn't love her, but I could relate to her in many ways. I liked how the author portrayed her as a doctor who was described by her relatives as an ice queen, but she also had a vulnerable side where she was more delicate and sensitive.

Theo Silva, our bull rider and former manwhore who, despite doing the bare minimum, still had his moments. For example, moments like this.


  
    “Oh, my bad. I didn’t realize you were with someone.” His eyes slice over to mine, busting me. Again. “I’m not. Yet.”
  


Unfortunately, there were a few things I hated about him, like the fact that he called women "buckle bunnies". Can we please leave this term? It’s terrible. A woman wants to have sex or simps for her idol and suddenly people call her like that? I don’t even know if there’s a term like that for men who simp and would love to sleep with their favorite celebrity. Honestly, I've never heard of it. I wonder why.

The fact that Winter only could orgasm with him. A woman who was married for five years and slept with some men, never reached her O? And suddenly it happens when the hero appears in her life, and she magically manages to do it on their first meeting? Are we going back to wattpad? And the fact that no one ever put Winter first and didn't defend her, and all this happens when a hero appears. This woman was married for five years. Why did this marriage even happen if all those things didn't even happen before it? How can I believe that she is smart, intelligent and brave like the author tried to portray her when she got married to something like this? 

The last thing is that I still can't comprehend how Theo didn't find out about his baby sooner. They had many of the same friends and family. How could anyone never talk about it? I know Theo was busy with his career, but no one mentioned it for eighteen months? This part, still has me confused. 


I'll end my review by saying that yes, I really enjoyed some parts of this book, but there were aspects of it that made me not love it as much as many people do.
