Wild Eyes - Elsie Silver

 


          (5/5 - heart eyes)

This is where it’s at. This is the Elsie Silver I found missing whilst reading Wild Love. I’m in my small-town romance era and I’m not sad about it.

Weston Belmont and Skylar Stone are everything you want and more. Oh my god. I’m so in love. Where do I begin?

The best part of Wild Love was when it ended and there was a chapter from Wild Eyes inserted at the end. As soon as I read it, I knew that it was going to be the best book Elsie has ever written. And I wasn’t wrong. It gave It Happened One Summer by Tessa Bailey vibes but both characters were sunshine in Wild Eyes.

I only realized how unappreciative of sunny men I am, until I switched from the billionaire tropes to the small-town romance ones. Weston Belmont is a blue-eyed single dad with two children – 6-year-old Emmy and 8-year-old selective mute Oliver – who has the healthiest relationship with his ex-wife Mia and boyfriend Boring Brandon. When I tell you it was the most refreshing thing to see a happily divorced couple, co-parenting with maturity, I really mean it was. Like sipping lemonade on a hot summer’s day. It was like ‘ah for once there is peace’. Skylar Stone was mentioned quite a bit in Wild Love so imagine my surprise when she wasn’t a stuck-up country popstar. Skylar was making a run from betrayal, something a lot of us can sadly relate to. She ended up where, so far, all the runaway women end up. The bunk house also known as Weston’s bunk house. I was screaming!

Okay, so first West saved Sky from a grizzly bear, which had started to bubble something between the two. Then she followed him to Rose Hill Studios, where Ford wasn’t expecting her but she got all the help regardless. Weston is the worlds best friend thus he had no problem accepting Skylar into his life but who said Skylar wanted to remain friend? Coach Thick Thighs had a real thing for Fancy Face. Skylar wasn’t simple and Weston wasn’t looking for anything serious. We all know women like Skylar and men like Weston rarely work. This book was written by a woman so of course it worked.

Let’s get the priorities straight. My top 3 moments were the late-night canoe get-together, when the tension finally, finally popped and the speech Skylar gave when winning the whole record and album she wrote herself.

Nothing flatlined, I never wanted to put the book down and I was already itching to pick it up when I had to take a pee break. I cannot stop thinking about Wild Eyes even after being so far into the release. I’m so over billionaires – until King of Envy comes out.

The invasion of privacy Skylar went through was something I don’t’ wish upon anybody in the real life. It’s not easy, it’s not nice and it’s defiantly not a joke for people to make. Hard to read but made me appreciate how Elsie made it all real. There’s not always a solution for things and that’s fine. There doesn’t have to be.

The spice was spicing. We will leave it at that.

Elsie Silver and Hannah Grace mostly always get 5 stars due to the lack of the break up acts. Vivian’s heart cannot take it. The break up act was like a 2/5 because it wasn’t really like a break up. No complaints there.

I’m very protective of Waylay (Things We Never Got Over) and Cami (Final Offer). They are my most cherished book kids. Now we can add Emmy and Oliver into it as well. Spitfire younger sister with shy old brother is exactly the same dynamic I have with my siblings. I’m the Emmy in my own life.

Perfection. There is no way you can ignore reading this. As a matter of fact, forget your TBR shelf, just pick up Wild Eyes then get back to me. Honestly, it got me out of a reading slump I was into.

Can’t say I’m over the moon for Wild Side. We shall see.

Now, let me go re-read Wild Eyes again because I’ve fallen for Weston. Pick these paper pages up!

Mwah.

Vivian.

Don’t forget to keep reading, because as long as you do, it’s making a struggling authors day that much better. Reach for the starts of success

Bad Little Bride – Meagan Brandy

  (5/5 stars. The MMC is called Enzo. Exactly) You know, I’ve read about a couple of men called Enzo throughout my time, but none has hit the spot just like Enzo Fikile. Oh. My. God. Meagan didn’t enter 2025 to joke around. She came to serve, and serve she did. This is book number 2 in the Girls of Greyson series. The one prior is Tempting Little Thief , starring Bastian Bishop and Rocklin Revenaw, aka Boston Revenaw’s twin sister, AKA Enzo’s wife! Did we forget about Enzo? We can never do such a crime. Now, we don’t lie on this page, and I’m not going to start today. Unless my poor eyesight read something wrong – highly likely – I was under the misconception that this was a fantasy book. I don’t read stories set in fantasy worlds where wings, fangs, and, most importantly, weird bodily fluids other than blood and something else are explored. I opened this book with one eye, and that eye stayed closed until chapter 2. Then I was all in on Enzo and Boston’s glory. The story st...

God of War - Rina Kent

  (A full 5/5 with no spaces in between) Dark romance authors - please take notes because this is how it's done. At this point, I think there is something morally grey with me because why on earth do I find all red flags on a man green and attractive? Well then Mr. Eli King. You certainly put me into my place. Confession time – this is not my first experience with Rina Kent. I actually purchased the Deception Trilogy. I decided not to read them for a very stupid reason. The number of pages. There were like only scraping 200 and I am not about the short book life. Unless it’s bad – then please be my guest. The less you write, the less I have to suffer. However, now I’m thinking on going back to read it because God of War was that good. I’ve also purchased Blood of My Monster but I won’t be revisiting that. The whole concept is just to long for my liking. These are the time I enjoy Book-Tok. This is from the Legacy of Gods series landing on #6. There are also times– rare ones –...

Twisted Lies - Ana Huang

  (The MMC is called Christian, you tell me the rating) Christian Harper and Stella Alonso aka butterfly. This had that thriller element to it which I so needed. A story featuring stalkers, thriller, betrayal, and love. Spice too, if you’re interested… We have a billionaire tech-genius with an aspiring designer and fashion blogger. It doesn’t get much more gold than that. Remember Harper Security? Well, there’s a whole book on it now. Stella works for a fashion magazine and gets fired from it after attending an event. That event was for Delamonte, whose brand she becomes the face of. Christian Harper owns the apartment complex where Stella and Jules live. In Twisted Hate we see how they basically get it for free because the rent isn’t even rent, especially for a place like that. The only reason he drops it is for Stella, and we find out why later. Well, once Jules leaves to live with Josh, he lets Stella stay at reduced rent on the condition that she waters his plants. This ...
