Now onto the ship I didn’t had on my bingo card WINTER and THEO. I honestly wanted Winter and Beau for the reverse grumpy sunshine dynamic, but it seems like I’m getting it either way so I’m not too sad about it. Elsie Silver’s “Flawless” is a soulful romance that offers that balance of sweetness and spice. A spin-off from the Gold Ranch series, Flawless is an enemy of lovers and small-town romance with underlying themes of conviction and family loyalty. Two childhood friends. Two broken hearts. One impromptu road trip to get away from everything. That’s all this was supposed to be. Afterall, I’ve been living in the friend zone for years now. Tink. You’ve ruined me. Don’t you get it? I only see you. You’ve got all my attention. Every last bit of it.”

But the more time we spend alone, the more Jasper doesn’t feel like a friend at all. He feels like everything I’ve ever wanted and thought I could never have. I was a bit frustrated by what led to Sloane heading to the altar with a complete twit like her fiancé. He seems so absolutely clueless that it made me think a bit less of her that she let herself end up there.. but that's all part of the journey. Summer I loved how strong she was, her confidence and caring compassion she had for Rhett. Her nature is beautiful. Summer is my hero when she put Rob in his place!

CW: tall of previous miscarriage and infertility. Manipulative family relationships and a hint of ex stalking This type of Friends to Lovers can be hard to win me over with. Where no outsiders can get in our way more than we can. It's hard to see what keeps Jasper and Sloane apart, when they seem so perfect for each other. However, people are imperfect and I loved the flaws and struggles of them both and watching the things that make them feel powerless, crumble before the strength of their love and connection. Tropes or Themes: Small Town, Workplace, Age Gap (7 Years) Forced Proximity, One Bed, Grumpy / Sunshine, Slowburn, Cowboy, Bull Rider, Famous, Assistant, Sports Agent, Ranch, Jealousy, Soul Mates Praising, Cursing, Medical Content & Grand Gesture.Honestly, it would have worked better if these two had spent years on the outs with each other than constantly being around one another (even if they sometimes went weeks or months without talking) it would have made the angst more believable? Powerless is the third book in Elsie Silver’s ‘Chestnut Springs’ series and I am obsessed! Seriously, every book in this series is incredible! Friends to lovers, age gap, unrequited love, sports romance and forced proximity. So many troupes I love!

As a side note, Violet’s siblings (mentioned in “A Photo Finish”) are super charming and we’re all introduced to them here; It’s clear that Rhett is the first brother in the Chestnut series and I’m here for anything. There are a few scenes between the brothers here that will make your nose itch; The love these brothers have may not be obvious at first, but it is there. If you read Powerless, you’ll have seen the first time Theo and Winter met. You will know there were sparks flying between them as they were fighting. You will also have realized that this thing between them is highly combustible. And shout out to the best character of this series Grandpa Harvey Eaton who's sense of humour is out of this world!! He really is the best man in this series!! Only Rhett Eaton could make jewelry so damn manly” (??? This is why you don't have friends, Summer) her dad being somehow redeemed after not being a trash parent and not there for her basically her entire life ? all because of a old dollhouse or somethingElsie Silver NEEDS to write a bonus scenes of how Willa managed to convinced Cade to go along with her plan to help Sloane get away from her own wedding.. look at him that poor man was probably held at gunpoint by his wife 😭🤚 Tell me what you want, Summer... if this were your last moment on earth, what would you want me to do?" The same goes for Jasper, and how he let's his life play out to this point. His anxiety and internal struggles were touching and moved me and seeing how he fit in with the Eaton gang some more in this book was so lovely. They were just the safest, best, and most loving place for him. So beautiful. The blurb gives Winter’s pregnancy away, so it’s not a spoiler. You should know that accidental/surprise pregnancy is my least favorite romance trope. You should also know, if it’s not clear by now, that I love this book with everything I have.
