Elsie Silver Chestnut Springs Series 3 Books Collection Set (Heartless, Flawless, Powerless)

Product Information

Grumpy cowboys and steamy romance... Welcome to Chestnut Springs: the big-hitting, small-town series from TikTok sensation Elsie Silver. Don't get me wrong, he was so hot and such a good character when I set aside the bull riding thing. Only Rhett Eaton could make jewelry so damn manly” (??? This is why you don't have friends, Summer)

Rhett Eaton: I think for the first time in history, I like the boy more than the girl, even though Rhett was more boring than staring at a wall, his only personality trait was being a bull rider, and that's it. Sometimes a grumpy one. I did really like his interactions with his brothers, and I have little else to say about him, he was that boring.Cue, the hospital scene that made me drop the three stars I was going to give this to the two pityful ones I decided for in the end. No, just no. If you keep talking about things that don’t matter, we’re going to run out of time to do things that do." The story is a little (or maybe a lot) over the top, there was too much unnecessary drama that didn't need to be there (AND could have been completely avoided if adult conversations happened). The sex scenes were uncomfortable and felt like they were written by a teenager's verbose imagination of what "Dirty Talk" is. Up until 30% of it, I was truly convinced I'd end up loving this to pieces. The quote I put at the start of my review is actual proof that this had potential to be as fluffy and enjoyable as I was promised it'd be. Still, it’s hard for her to let go. I mean, he’s supposed to be a playboy and she’s got her heart broken once. Also, he’s her client, and they’re not supposed to go there. It’s totally unprofessional, and she does care a lot about what other people think. But Rhett doesn’t make it easy for her, and of course she falls. I would have fallen ages before her, so well done, Summer, for putting up a good fight.

I SKIMMED THE SEX SCENES. 💀 yep. sorry to admit this, but i didn't realise what went where into which part in this book 😭 it was that bad. plus the dirty talk was very ehh. Summer was such a great character. Uptight and self conscious in the beginning, I absolutely loved her character growth. Rhett also finally grew up and put other people first, and I was GIDDY at the end.

If this were your last moment on earth, what would you want me to do?” Shut up, that's what I would want. Thank you Summer is his agent’s daughter. She looks uptight and like a spoiled princess to the world, but she really isn’t. She’s come a long way and she’s faced a lot of difficult stuff over the years, but no one seems to give her credit for it. She wants to prove herself and show everyone she can make it on her own, that she has what it takes to do whatever she wants. However, she doesn’t really know what that is.

I will talk very explicitly about the smut here, so if you are uncomfortable with that feel free to skip to the character section: It’s more like Ebenezer Scrooge, Captain America, and I’m the cool guy from Tombstone who can twirl his guns really well,” I reply. Cade Eaton is thirteen years older than me and barely looks my way. Until I get him in the hot tub one night for a game of truth or dare. Then all bets are off - and so are our clothes. But in our quiet moments together, he softens, and I start to realise his hardened exterior is just a façade. Someone once convinced him that his best wasn't good enough. Yet I've never felt more cherished than I do in his arms.Rhett went from sexy, easy going cowboy with a milk adversion to a full possessive asshole who was so immature I had to keep reminding myself he was my age and not a hormonal teenager. And rodeos are a trigger warning for me. I am against the exploitation of animals for entertainment and I am also a TAURUS so the fact that our male main character was a professional bull rider gave me some bad vibes.

Rhett Eaton is a bull rider who got in a bit of trouble with his sponsors. While his agent is trying to smooth things over, Rhett gets a... babysitter for the last few months of his tour. This babysitter happens to be Summer Hamilton, his agent's daughter. Summer is working at her dad's firm and is willing to do whatever it takes to prove herself. She's a bit of a people pleaser and definitely a relatable character. i will say the ending kind of did have me blushing a little 🫣 so yes im aware im part of the problem. but i would recommend this to anyone who just wants a cowboy romance and does not want to think AT ALL, like brain is empty af. The hype was very much worth it and I can’t wait to continue on with the series. We were introduced to such a great bunch of characters and I love that they all felt as relevant as our main ones. Every line that comes out of Rhett's mouth after that was so cheesy it was basically a fondue dinner for 20 people. Everything he said felt scripted and I couldn't tell if the author was trying to make the book quotable of it was her actual idea of how romance should sound. Istg if you like any of these things I just mentioned, please please PLEASE give this book a try!! It’s so good!Something that bothered me a lot about her is the amount of toxic ideas she has about what masculinity is, she explicitly says that Rhett's hands are masculine because they are calloused and not soft, like those of other boys in her city, that some even liked to get manicures. Or that only Rhett could make jewelry look masculine, jewelry is genderless, stupid retrograde and sexist bitch. Our main girl is Summer Hamilton, daughter of Kip Hamilton, who is Rhett Eaton's agent, professional bull rider and our main guy. Rhett has made some controversial comments that have caused several sponsors to withdraw their sponsorship, so Kip assigns Rhett a “babysitter”, Summer, to watch over him and stop him from doing stupid things.
