Elsie Silver

Rose Hill is a four book series set in a small lake town in the Canadian Rockies. The series will follow four men who are part of a recreational curling team and who meet for regular practices and games. Each team member will get their own book and each book will have a character experiencing parenthood in different ways. Four single dads, living very different stories.

Wild Love

Joan 

I cup his cheek and give his head a little shake. " Because who else would put up with me?"

Then he drops his head to my chest and murmurs, " Putting up with you is my favourite thing to do."

But as much as I hate to admit it, I'm tapped out on handling my own shit. All of a sudden, it dawned on me that I am monumentally tired of having it all together.

“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.”

“ I want a wild love....I want this feeling I have with you where it hurts to breathe when you get too far away, where my skin itches uncontrollably when you look at me. Where thinking feels overrated because we both know nothing and no one will ever feel like this. Like us.”

I loved Rosie and Ford but not into the boss/employee trope.

West and Rosie are so cute!! I really liked the book and the story was good, but the plot could have been better. For me, it was too soft and wrapped up too fast. Also, I would have liked a bit more developement in character from Cora and her mom.

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 labelled 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.

I loved this one!!! It was so good on audio!!

I cannot wait to continue the series - Elsie writes small town romance like no other!!!!

I thought this book was good, then I read Wild Eyes…so much better.

Also, wtf is with all the tongue darting out when the characters are having conversations? Who does that?

Cute!! Wasn’t obsessed with the FMC, she was a little bit annoying

I do love a good brothers best friend trope

The book starred Rosalie and Ford, and I love them both very much, and I also love their relationship, and how they became lovers after being childhood enemies for so long. I love them both. I love Cora too, although, let's be real, it was so completely random, like what do you mean she's from his sperm so now it's his job to look after her? Like, good on Ford for assuming responsibility, but like it was really random and not realistic at all. Also, I found it kind of boring at times, and there's always got to be an act where they argue or break up. Alot of smut as well, so if you're not a big fan,I definitely skipped quite a bit.

i was expecting so much more considering this is elsie silver but it fell flat to me. i did not like the fmc and the romance was kinda rushed. there was no real tension, idk the use of the diary was also super cringe. not my favorite at all

CLAUDIA VALDES

I wanted to love this one, even purchased the audio for this one and even with really good narrators...this book isn't for me. And quite frankly I am losing interest in this author. The heroine was a complete brat and the hero gets treated horribly by the women around him. I am not for authors writing men being abused. 

 will be returning my audio copy. This author doesn't really even write westerns at all, its just really small town and her writing just isn't for me that much. I do think she is losing her touch which I think can happen with hyped books. Best wishes though to her. I just think other than a couple of books in her previous series, the way she writes her heroines just turns me off. That style just isn't going to be for me unless she can start making them more likeable.

begin again and everything has changed by taylor swift - yes these two songs perfectly encapsulate rosieford's relatioship

want me by stephen dawes - definitely ford's song - "you're so cool, i wanna be your boy"

oh to be loved by ford grant, the hot yearning billionaire nerd GOD I NEED HIM SO BAD!! the way this man has me giggling and fanning myself OOF

i also love the callbacks to rosie’s diary which elicits old memories of basically ford being so down bad for rosie when they were younger hehehe like he was obsessed since DAY ONE FR 

also ate up the dynamic where rosie the people pleaser and ford the one who would do anything (and spend any amount of money) for her <3

Amazing found the completely new story line refreshing loved loved Cora and the mentioning of willa. The romance bickering was fun and different but overall just loved ford and Rosie 

Valerie Yvonne Elizabeth Hes 

Ford Grant and Rosalie Belmont, what a couple. They just fit together perfectly, constantly teasing each other by insulting one another. This book had me laughing out loud at certain bits. Omg and Ford and Cora, so sweet. When she called him dad at the end my heart ached for Ford in a good way because all he wanted to do was be the best he could for her considering the circumstances and by Cora giving him that title it only confirmed he did do his best for her

Amber 

Loved it! Funny character dynamic, lovely setting and good spice!

Marie

Why, this was cute. Had me kicking up my feet in the air while reading.

Was it over the top? Of course. Do I mind in my light-read-romance-breaks? Nope, couldn't care less.

This was an easy read, with lovable characters, a cute small town setting and only a teensie-tiny dash of the tropes I hate. It wasn't deep, but the was neither something I expected, nor wanted, when I picked this up.

Adding the second one to the tbr as we speak. :)

This has got to be one of the most boring contemporary romances I’ve ever read. I honestly don’t know why it’s so popular. First of all, it starts out with the MMC learning he has a “child” which I put in quotes because it was a sperm donation. She’s not his daughter, he owes her nothing, and yet by the end she’s calling him dad??? Strains credulity. The chemistry between these two is also only sort of there. They bicker and fight for no reason but it also turns them on? It’s giving toxic. And it’s certainly not “wild love” - it’s vanilla with some sprinkles at best. I don’t understand why we’re lusting after Ford - he’s so boring and Rosie is annoying. The third act break up was stupid and over in 30 sec. and I just can’t believe I actually finished this book.

I will happily admit that I appear to be in a romance phase at the moment, With a lot of Work stresses and busy weekends on the go at the moment it’s difficult to keep up with everything so getting lost in a Romance book is the perfect way for my brain to switch off from it all and This book was exactly what I needed. It’s my first Elsie Silver book and I can confirm that it won’t be my last; I really enjoyed this one and was just the perfect book for Summer!

Ford is a billionaire that’s been totally in love with his best friend’s sister since they were kids. But obviously you don’t ever mess with your best friend’s sister.

Rosie is a sassy hot mess returning to her small town after she breaks up with her boyfriend, loses her job and has student debt in masses. Both end up back home to their roots to start fresh and when Rosie asks Ford for a job the 2 of them are unable to deny the magnetic connection they have always had.

This was such an entertaining and fun read that was easy to escape to and get lost into the world created. This is mostly a character driven story, as the focus is on the characters and their lives, so there isn't much going on plot-wise, which I think you can expect from Romance books from time to time.

Overall, I really enjoyed reading this book, even though it didn't give me the small-town vibes I was expecting. I had so much fun reading it, it made me giggle and laugh many times, so I'd say it was a win. I'm looking forward to continuing the series

I’m gonna start this review saying that I’ve never EVER liked the main characters so much, both Rosie and Ford kept surprising me with how they handled things (their frenemies situation was also 🤌🏻), I don’t think they put unnecessary drama in any point of the book, even the conflict in the end was handled right

I really loved Cora (nothing like a 12 year old to say the best things at the worst times) I also liked how the author brought the whole grief/depression situation around them, even though it didn't go very deep into the topic, I liked how she brought the subject up

I’m so excited to West’s story, the sneak peak in the end was 10/10!!! I’m glad to know that he’s next

I just love the way Elsie Silver writes about small town romance and all these farm people. Like it’s so different from what I read but I really like them. I’m so obsessed with Ford and the way he thinks. He’s so protective and so manly but in such a gentle and respectful way (not me talking about a fictional man in so much detail) 😭. Long story short this book was too too good but it was such a drag😭

This book made me giggle, laugh and cry. It was really good. Ford was a little cringe sometimes, but he is the world's hottest billionare so I forgive him.

I did like that the end conflict wasn't them breaking up, it was just a hitch in their relationship that they had to talk through to then get better.

First Elsie Silver book and I wasn't dissapointed.

I’m utterly embarrassed for how long it took me to read this. It was a really good book, but I guess my motivation wasn’t there to read it when I thought it was. I think if I had read it at the time I really wanted to I would have read it immediately and rated it higher. I really liked the characters and the storyline. I think I would have wanted a bit more Cora especially when it was a single dad story. Especially wanted more Ford, Rosie, and Cora scenes. Also while I understood the third act break up it felt a little random at the same time. I think it was a good thing to have but it felt so easily forgotten especially with how Ford betrayed Rosie’s trust. I’m intrigued with what the next book will bring and what else our favorite Ball Buster bowling team will bring us in the Rose Hill series.

The writing felt very young and repetitive at points but a quick easy read!
