Wild Eyes - Elsie Silver
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
