Chestnuts Springs #1

Kindle Unlimited e-book

Author: Elsie Silver

“If this were my last moment alive, how would I want it to be?” That’s how Summer lives her life. Having survived a complicated heart surgery and a very unorthodox family situation, Summer doesn’t want to waste one single moment of her life. Rhett is the bull rider who gets into trouble with his sponsors and Summer’s father, who is his agent, gets her to “babysit” him.

Rhett is resentful that people think he needs a handler and that he is treated as a “man child” by everyone, including his family. When he sees that Summer “sees” HIM, everything changes. 

I must confess that I was reluctant to pick this book for two reasons: the hype (this book was literally everywhere) and I am always afraid the expectations will be too high and rodeos and bull-riding are a huge no-no for me. Boy, am I glad my friends kept telling me to read it! I LOVED IT! I loved how Elsie set up the plot, how you get to know every character (Please, write books for all of them!) I even endured the bull-riding stuff that I don’t like! And sort of enjoyed it!

Thank you to everyone who insisted that I read this book! I think I found a new favorite author!
