4.75 stars

❛ I first kissed her and found her sleeping here. just like I dreamed of before I even realized she was the dream. ❜

upon its very first chapter, 'Wild Love' embarked me through a tumult of emotions; deprived of any tears; cheeks sore from smiling; heart aching. to characterize it succinctly, it was utterly beautiful. It is a truth universally acknowledged, that Elsie Silver has an affinity and affection for the found family arc. i found that it was brilliantly harmonized in this book with the atypical path that molded the single-dad-trope and the plot-line. it was both invigorating and agreeable to read.

”he looks at her like she terrifies him. and she looks at him with stars in her eyes. but they’re both too alike to say a single word to each other. It’s adorable.

we accompanied the characters through the bizarre dynamics they had to embrace, which was sincerly one of the utmost aspects of the narrative. passing by their peaks and valleys, it was realistically sculpted deriving out of heartfelt moments to the embarrassing, joyful and hilarious ones. should i drop an unpopular opinion..? i love kids in romances. especially the funny ones. Cora won my heart. without a doubt, she was the brightest part of the book. she enhanced it in numerous ways. her non-conventional twelve-year-old persona is just one example. the bond she forged with Rosie, the female main character, and the blossoming father-daughter relationship she shared with Ford, the male protagonist, are another ones.

”because as much as I don’t need a knight in shining armor to defend my honor, I’m relieved I have one who feels compelled to do so.”

Rosie had to overcome many obstacles before she could wave the white flag and return home. I loved how unapologetically imperfect she was drawn and how, throughout the chapters and lines, she imbibed herself with it and accepted it. she was a hell of a woman with an acute sense of humor and a fierce sense of loyalty. Ford, alias the World’s Hottest Billionaire, emphasized irresistibly the nerd demeanor. i loved seeing him grow in Cora’s vicinity and how he tiptoed around the impromptu dad-role he has to disguise into.

“the more things change, the more they stay the same.”

the romance was distilled through years and decades of longing and unspoken love. i loved how the storytelling didn’t shadow that part and translated it along the lines of memories and diary’s maculatedbpages. it grasped so crudely and beautifully their anterior bond. but it also paralleled with their adulthood relationship. how Ford was still obsessed with Rosie. how she had to relay on him the same way she used to. unfortunately, both of them have now dethroned any other Elsie Silver couple for me.

p.s. :some side characters layered the book with beautiful colors and i cannot wait to meet them in their own dedicated romances. i even reconnected with dear characters from the prior series and it was absolutely precious to read!

many thanks to the author and Periwinkle Pony PR for providing the arc in exchange for an honest review
