Look, the virgin FMC is just not my cuppa. Especially when she keeps asking all kinds of weird 'curious' sexual questions to the MMC like she's some type of fucking toddler.
I had such high hopes for the ending of this series considering I sped binged my way through all 5 of them in 3 days I REALLY enjoyed and loved the first 4 but this one- I can't take the ick anymore.
Make it make sense. The FMC is portrayed as the town outcast because of her family but she's never done anything wrong personally and the way the town's people shun her... you would think she walked around town kicking puppies.
I don't think the author did a good job at developing her character especially but honestly, both of them were a little one dimensional.
╰┈➤ Where was the plot? Someone tell me if you find it.
It started out well enough but I never felt any chemistry between Bailey and Beau and her acting like a straight up 12 year old gave me the heebie jeebies.
Oh, and Bruna just reminded me - 'Sugar Tits.' Like gross and BYEEEE.
I'm so behind on reviews lately, so while I have a few mins let me draft a short one for this book.

I'm so behind on reviews lately, so while I have a few mins let me draft a short one for this book.
I want to start by saying that I really did enjoy this story and I LOVE Theo. I love this whole universe and I can't remember the last time that an author had me in a complete chokehold for an entire series - oh I know. SJM.
With that in mind, I went through this series like a tornado. Tore through the pages, switched between kindle and audio just to spend more time with these characters and find out what was going to happen with them.
╰┈➤ I will forever be thankful to Elsie Silver for bringing us this beautiful world. I want to go live in Chestnut Springs, have family dinners and hang out with all of the characters.
✨ All of that being said. ✨
╰┈➤ I did not expect Winter to be so damn annoying. She is the most insecure FMC I've read in a long while. I found her grating at every turn.
I had a hard time believing she was her age, a mother and a whole ass doctor with the way she would stalk Theo out of insecurity and jealousy. Like literally creep and hide behind things to see an interaction between him and another woman.
The way she would constantly question him and need non stop reassurance. I understand going through a difficult past and not being very trusting but this was over the top imo.
This went on for the majority of the book. Not necessarily the stalking but the huge insecurities and he never gave her a reason to be. Like all of the men in this series he was all about his woman, even when they weren't officially together.
╰┈➤ I also wasn't a fan of the surprise pregnancy trope right out the gate within the first chapter or two.
All in all, I really loved this series and enjoyed every single min that I got to spend in Chestnut Springs with all of these wonderful and well rounded characters. This is my first experience with Elsie Silver and it certainly won't be my last. Such an excellent story teller!
Those interested in the audio for this one - the narrators are top notch. Some of you ladies may be familiar with the swoon worthy Joe Arden as the voice of Theo, and Winter is the voice of Savannah Peachwood. ...more

It's an exciting, romantic and very touching read. It's becoming very clear that all of the books in the series offer all of those aspects and each one hits you in the feels in a different way.
With this one, Jasper and Sloane are childhood friends to lovers. He's a hockey player and she's an ex ballerina. I mean, hello- love that....more

The ranch?” I nod again because it’s all I can do. I want all that. With him. “You want me, Willa?” “Yes.” I want him so badly it hurts. “Good. Because I’m sick of holding back with you. You’re not going anywhere. You belong here, with me.”

Where is this Chestnut Springs? How far is it? When are we going? Who has directions? Anyone riding with me?
I am convinced I clearly live in the wrong city lol.
I was effortlessly pulled right back into book two - I mean, I've been eating this series up! It's been such a perfect read for me right now. It's light, fluffy, heartwarming and romantic. The spice is delicious, the angst is perfect and the chemistry is ❤️...more

Tourists and othI read a couple chapters last night and this book is so cute - a small little town filled with witches, vampires and other creatures. Tourists and others that visit that are not supernatural don't have the ability to see the magic around them due to an old spell put on the land by the witches.
Of course the lady who actually owns the bakery and apt above that our FMC lives and works in has passed away.
Her estranged grandson who's trying to make partner at his high powered law firm is now in town - guess who is left everything in the will? ANDDDD the law firm wants to acquire land that's in the small town for a client to build some tourist attraction.
