Rose Hill #1

ALC provided by Must Love Audio

Author: Elsie Silver

Narrators: Vanessa Edwin and Zachary Webber

6-star book!

Ford is back on Rose Hill to set up his brand new recording studio. He’s just been named “the world’s hottest billionaire” (to his chagrin and utter delight of his best friend West) and he’s fed up with being “infamous”. Being “Junior” to a Ford Senior who’s a rockstar has taken its toll. He thinks he’s in for a quiet time but the Universe says “hell no!” and sends him a 12-year-old daughter  (trust Elsie to use this trope perfectly) and… Rosie.  His best friend’s little sister. His little nemesis. The one he’s been pining for since he was a teenager. She’s back in Rose Hill and she needs a job. He’s never said no to her. He’s not about to start now…

I thought I was ready for Ford when he made appearances in the Chestnut Springs series but I was not. So not. If you love a pining hero, who can banter like a pro and who can dirty talk you into heading to confession, you’ve got Ford. And Rosie couldn’t be a more perfect match for him. Frenemies since their early teens, they can bicker and banter like no one and watching them is absolute fun. He’s not your run-of-the-mill single dad and watching him fumble his way into fatherhood is a joy. Rosie is sassy, funny, loving and kind of adorable and you root for them from the start. I was so into their story that I pressed play and only stopped when I was done!

The audiobook is narrated dual style by two giants: Vanessa Edwin and Zachary Webber. Vanessa is perfection as the sassy yet vulnerable Rosie. Zachary can melt your heart when you give him a hero like Ford. He’ll make you laugh, swoon and root for the man pining for the woman he’s always loved. You also go “awww” with his Daddy Ford (in a fatherly way, you pervs! lol). It’s my favorite Elsie. A million stars! 

Thanks to Elsie and Must Love Audio for letting me meet Ford and Rosie early.
