Wild Side (Deluxe Edition) (Rose Hill, 3) Paperback – March 4, 2025

Audio Review ~Samantha and Jason were truly exceptional as the narrators of this story, infusing it with the emotions of grief and pain while also capturing the love, laughter, and joy shared among the characters.My Thoughts ~Infinity stars, this was truly a refreshing read. Thank you, Elsie Silver, for crafting a book filled with compassion, understanding, and empathy—an authentic and profound narrative rather than just an abundance of spice. Lately, it seems that many popular authors focus on creating books that are heavy on spice but light on storyline, so I genuinely appreciate your work. While I enjoy a spicy scene as well, I prefer a book rich in content that offers depth. This book resonated with me on so many levels; having family members who struggle with addiction, I understand the challenge of trying to piece everything together, especially when children are involved.My Review ~I absolutely loved this book! It continues the story of Rose Hill with both new and familiar characters, maintaining deep involvement from supporting characters. The plot focuses on Rhys, a former foster child and professional wrestler, and Tabitha, a restaurant owner whose sister Erika struggled with drug addiction and tragically died from an overdose. Tabitha blames Rhys for evicting Erika, leading to tension between them. As they navigate their roles in Milo's life, they discover a shared love for him. Their relationship evolves into a marriage of convenience to secure Milo's future. Rhys's nurturing nature and Tabitha's strength amidst grief create delightful tension and growth, leading to a charming romance and a supportive family unit.Happy Reading

Elsie Silver consistently brings us stories that are warm and cozy with some fun spice. This is book 3 of a 4 book series of dads on a bowling team in a small town in Canada. The events taking place in each book are happening along the same timeline, but with each book, you get a different perspective and insight to the impacts on the different characters.In this book, Tabatha is picking up the pieces after her sister dies, including taking care of her sister’s young son. When there is a question about legal guardianship of the little boy, the only obvious solution is to marry Rhys, her sister’s secretive gruff landlord/neighbor.This book gives good trope. The primary ones we see are:- Enemies to lovers- Marriage of convince- Forced ProximityThis book has some great banter and some superb steam that builds into a nice spice. The friends are wonderful and supportive (I want a friend group this diverse and tight-knit). I really enjoyed seeing Tabatha and Rhys create a support system for Milo and in doing so, building a relationship with each other. It was fun to see Ford, Rosie, West, and Skylar again and understanding the timeline of the books and where they overlap. The author really wove hints in throughout the series to the point where I am going to have to go back to the beginning and read them straight through once book 4 comes out to see what I missed in the earlier books.An Elsie Silver book is a guaranteed good time. I can’t wait to see what she brings us next!

This book!! Omg, I knew I’d get hooked from the first chapter—I’ve been waiting for this release—but I didn’t expect to be completely obsessed with the slow burn! It had me so giddy. And Rhys Dupris? I am absolutely obsessed!Tabitha Garrison has so much on her plate, and my heart ached for her. She’s carrying so much weight at such a young age, but she is so strong. Her selflessness and dedication to her sister and nephew are what stand out the most about her.And Rhys Dupris? Who wouldn’t fall in love with him? He’s perfection. Strong (of course—he’s a pro wrestler, duh), but also incredibly sweet. He may be broody, secretive, and barely talk, but beneath it all, he’s a big softie—protective, caring, and so tempting. And when he’s not talking? He’s staring.Their relationship starts with a misunderstanding, so their interactions aren’t exactly smooth at first. There’s an undeniable attraction, but it’s not enough to build something real—or at least, it wasn’t supposed to be.Milo has always been part of the equation, but when the fight to become his legal guardian intensifies, everything shifts. Living under the same roof makes every flirtation, every banter, every moment of tension and temptation impossible to ignore. And when Tabby finally sees Rhys for who he truly is? There’s no resisting him. Because loving Rhys? That’s easy.I’ve always loved West and Skylar, but after reading this, I think I might have to choose Rhys and Tabby (and Milo!). 🤣This book had everything—tension, heart, and the kind of slow burn that makes you feel every moment. Rhys and Tabby’s journey felt so raw and real. I laughed, I swooned, and I got completely lost in their story. In other words, Wild Side stole my heart! 💚💚💚

I loved this book, the grumpy vibes coming from Rhys, combined with his sweetness. The tragedy of what got them together, the humor. I really enjoyed the journey of Rhys learning how to love and be loved. I shed a few tears. Cleocatra was a fun addition too! 🐈‍⬛
