Wild Love

Rose Hill, Book 1

By: Elsie Silver

Narrated by: Zachary Webber, Vanessa Edwin

Rosie Belmont has been driving me wild for years. The good kind of wild. The bad kind of wild. But mostly the kind of wild that comes with wanting your best friend’s little sister and knowing you can’t have her.

After living in the city, she comes blasting back into Rose Hill like a storm. Beautiful, messy, and chaotic.

And one wide-eyed desperate plea for a job is all it takes for me to hire her.

Forbes may have labeled me the World’s Hottest Billionaire but all I care about is opening my new recording studio. Something that comes to a screeching halt when I end up face-to-face with a young girl who claims I’m her biological father.

Now I spend my days balancing business with parenting a sullen twelve-year-old all while trying desperately to keep my hands the hell off my best friend’s little sister.

I vow to keep Rosie at arm’s length. I try to stick to scowls and grumpy one-liners. But with her verbal sparring is merely foreplay—friction that turns to blistering heat.

I know damn well I shouldn’t cross that line.

But shouldn’t and can’t are two very different things.

And the only thing I truly can’t do is resist her.

Completely speechless after listening to these two narrate!!

Two of my absolute favorites to listen to! Elsie did an incredible job and the writing completely blew me away… but listening to Vanessa Edwin & Zachary Webber retell Wild Love, took my breath away. I could listen to them all day & never get over their voices and the way the writing flows. I can’t recommend this book and audio enough. I read an ARC & knew I had to listen to the audio immediately!!

Ford and Rosie

I was so excited when this book was released. We got a little glimpse of Ford in Heartless (the Chestnut Springs book #2). Ford is Willa's brother. Do you need to read that series to know what's going on here, NO but it's also really amazing so why wouldn't you!

Ford is the child of a rock star. He's always had a rich life. However, he also has worked hard to make a name for himself. His current title is World's hottest billionaire bachelor, not a title he is thrilled to carry. He is excited about a new venture of opening a recording studio out in the small town where he spent every summer as a child. He wants to get a away from the city and thinks this is the perfect place to have a creative space for musical artists. He has bought the property next to his best friend. Little did he know a daughter (Cora) he never even knew about would show up on his doorstep and ask for help. On top of that his best friends little sister comes home after her work/personal life takes a dramatic turn. Rosie is the girl that Ford has always wanted but because he's older and it's his best friends little sister, he thinks this is something that can never be. These two have a fren-enemies relationship to start. She thought Ford always looked at her like the annoying little sister but that's not the case. When she comes home in need of a job, she asks Ford if she can help him, he would never say no to her. Rosie becomes a huge help to Ford and his relationship with Cora.

There are so many great moments in this book. I laughed, swooned and cried while reading it. This fren-enemies to lovers hits all the right marks. I loved both Zachary and Vanessa's performances. I didn't want it to end. I can't wait for book 2.

Great airport read… if you have a straight face.

The people on my flight probably think I am crazy the amount of times I giggled and laughed. The banter in this story is amazing and the narrators pulled it off effortlessly!

The E-mails Though

Elsie is just doing her thing. Making me laugh and bringing me all the boss girl vibes and some fantastic spice!

I’m not usually a lover of Cinnamon Roll heros but I adore Ford. He Falls First and I was so here for it. He’s been secretly pining after his best friend’s little sister for most of their lives while Rosie thinks they’re frenemies.

The banter between these two is amazing. The e-mails had me rolling 😆 the spice was 🎨😮‍💨 throw in some small town, billionaire and boss vibes too.

I love how Elsie took some standard tropes and spun them on their heads. Is Ford technically a single dad? Yeah… but like… ISH.

Ford and Rosie are amazing. The addition of Cora was so fun. I loved how she connected with both of them.

Their families were a riot and seeing Willa again was awesome. I can’t wait to see where this series goes.

Zachary Webber and Vanessa Edwin did a phenomenal job on bringing these characters to life.

4.5/5

Perfection!

Zachary Webber is my favorite male narrator and he did not disappoint bringing Ford Grant to life! I also loved Vanessa Edwin, sometimes when females try to make male voices it sounds so cringey but Vanessa was fantastic! I loved everything about the narration, especially when her and Zachary went back and forth during the email banter! It was perfect! If you don’t like audiobooks, give this one a try because it was one of the best I’ve ever listened to! It also helps that the story was amazing!
