About this listen

"Elsie Silver's writing is a true revelation!" ALI HAZELWOOD

---

Grumpy cowboys and steamy romance . . . Welcome to Chestnut Springs: the big-hitting, small-town series from TikTok sensation Elsie Silver. Perfect for fans of Devney Perry, Lucy Score and B.K. Borison.

Beau Eaton is the town prince, a handsome military hero with a tortured past.
I'm the outcast bartender, a shy girl from the wrong side of the tracks.

He's thirty-five and all man, I'm twenty-two and all . . . virgin. He's also my fiancé. Correction: my fake fiancé.

We start out as a bet. He doesn't believe that anyone holds my last name against me. So he offers me his to prove a point.

It's a win-win. He gets a break from his concerned family's prying, and I get a chance to shed my family's reputation while I save up to ditch this small town.

He says all I have to do is wear his ring, follow his lead, and pretend I can't keep my hands off of him in public.

But it's what happens between us in private that blurs all those carefully drawn lines . . .

It's what transpires behind closed doors that doesn't feel like pretending at all . . .

This engagement was supposed to be for show. This agreement? It has an end date.

He once told me he'd never fall in love.

And yet here I am, head over heels for my fake fiancé.

I liked the story and a good way to end the series. Both main characters had really good back stories and enjoyed their interactions.

One of my favourites in the series

REVIEW POST - Book 61 of 2024

Hopeless by Elsie Silver

Goodbye Chestnut Springs! 😭

I'm a sucker for a series. I make it my whole being. And I've loved this one! Beau and Bailey closed this one off perfectly for me.

I absolutely love a fake dating, it's one of my favourite tropes. And it's been a while since I read one actually, come to think of it.

Bailey is inexperienced but not totally naive. She's inquisitive, sexual and a little nervous but confident with it if that's even possible.
Beau is an absolute babe. And has a big heart with love to give to the right person. I've been waiting for his story and especially since his MIA stint from Jasper's book.

I love Beau and Jasper's friendship being shown more in this book. I adore the flirtatious nature that runs between Beau and Bailey from the off. And the nicknames. Christ, the nicknames 🤣

I'll be sad to say goodbye to the Eatons and Wishing Well Ranch but I have loved buddy reading this entries series with my bestie @nia_schofield87 each month!

The end of an era!
