Blurb<\/strong><\/h4>\n

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\u2019s little sister and knowing you can\u2019t have her.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

After living in the city, she comes blasting back into Rose Hill like a storm. Beautiful, messy, and chaotic.<\/p>\n

And one wide-eyed desperate plea for a job is all it takes for me to hire her.<\/p>\n

Forbes may have labeled me the\u00a0World\u2019s Hottest Billionaire<\/span>\u00a0but 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\u2019m her biological father.<\/p>\n

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\u2019s little sister.<\/p>\n

I vow to keep Rosie at arm\u2019s length. I try to stick to scowls and grumpy one-liners. But with her verbal sparring is merely foreplay\u2014friction that turns to blistering heat.<\/p>\n

I know damn well I shouldn\u2019t cross that line.<\/p>\n

But\u00a0shouldn\u2019t\u00a0<\/span>and\u00a0can\u2019t<\/span>\u00a0are two very different things.<\/p>\n

And the only thing I truly\u00a0can\u2019t<\/span>\u00a0do is resist her.<\/p>\n

Review<\/strong><\/h4>\n

5 stars!<\/b><\/p>\n

OMG, this is such a gorgeous read! Elsie Silver stole my heart with the Chestnut Springs<\/i> series, and she\u2019s off to a fantastic start with her the Rose Hill series. A slow burning, brother\u2019s best friend, frenemies-to-lovers, grumpy\/sunshine story, that is full of chemistry, feels and epic banter. It\u2019s funny, it\u2019s sweet, it\u2019s sexy and romantic, and I freaking loved every moment of it!<\/p>\n

Ford Grant has just been named Forbes\u2019 World\u2019s Hottest Billionaire. The son of a rockstar (and brother of Willa from Heartless<\/a>, Chestnut Springs, #2<\/i>) he\u2019s made his own fortune, and after growing tired of the corporate world he has moved his life to the small town of Rose Hill, where he used to spend his summers, and where his best friend, Weston, still lives. He\u2019s a good guy, with a great sense of humour, smart, sensitive, quiet and reclusive, and he\u2019s embracing his new life, where he plans to set up his own music production company. Everything is finally on track for him\u2026 until it\u2019s thrown wildly off course. Firstly, an emo 12 year old rocks up on his doorstep claiming to be his daughter, and then Rosie Belmont returns to town.<\/p>\n

Rosie is Weston\u2019s younger sister. Smart, confident and popular, she grew up spending her summers with her brother and Ford, and the two of them always had an antagonistic relationship. Always bickering, teasing and pranking each other, they never seemed to get along, but secretly Ford harboured a massive crush on Rosie, and having her back in town is the last thing he expected. But she\u2019s been through a rough time, and has returned home to try and figure her life out. Needing help with his daughter<\/i> and his company, and wanting to be there for Rosie like he always was in the past, he hires her as his assistant, putting them up close and personal with each other, and setting the scene for the fantastic story to come.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re not enemies, Rosalie.\u201d
\n\u201cThings might be a lot simpler if we were.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I love these two together!! They\u2019re straight back into the old dynamic, bickering and flirting \u2013 though now with an adult edge \u2013 and their arguing and banter is so much fun! Underneath all of the snark, they are good friends, and we know that Ford is already in love with Rosie, which puts a different spin on all of their interactions and makes it all the more intense. And those little tender moments where he\u2019s being the supportive friend he\u2019s always been made me swoon so hard.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m so tired, Ford. I\u2019m so fucking tired.\u201d
\nHis stubble prickles at my scalp as he presses a kiss to my hair and nuzzles his cheek on the top of my head. \u201cJust rest for a minute then, Rosie. I got you.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Rosie is a fantastic character. She\u2019s brave and bold, and she\u2019s confident with who she is. She\u2019s just having a wobble in life, and she\u2019s strong enough to lean on Ford, allowing him to help her and be there for her.<\/p>\n

As much as I don\u2019t need a knight in shining armor to defend my honor, I\u2019m relieved I have one who feels compelled to do so.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And Ford stole my heart! He may be quiet and a little bit shy, but he has a great sense of humour and a huge heart, and I loved watching him just take everything in stride. He\u2019s such a good guy, thoughtful and kind to the people he allows into his life, and I loved watching him care for his newly-discovered daughter, Cora, while taking on all that is Rosie. He is fiercely protective, and wears his heart on his sleeve, and I loved everything about him!<\/p>\n

\u201cHear this, Rosie. You are worth every penny. Every fortune. Every investment. Every risk. You are priceless to me.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And my God, the man has a dirty streak. And with all of that chemistry and flirty arguing, and after years of built-up sexual tension, the passion that literally explodes between these two is wild!<\/p>\n

\u201cI told myself I was going to stay the hell away from you. But here I am, making you spread your legs for me on my desk and dreaming about fucking you senseless.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It\u2019s been a long time coming, but watching these two come together and figure out who they are to each other is a beautiful journey. There is so much love between them, even before they admit it, and I loved every moment of them together while they work through it all and find their HEA.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want a wild love….I want this feeling I have with you where it hurts to breathe when you get too far away, where my skin itches uncontrollably when you look at me. Where thinking feels overrated because we both know nothing and no one will ever feel like this. Like us.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It\u2019s a funny, sexy and swoony ride, and I cherished every moment. I listened to this as an audiobook, narrated by Zachary Webber and Vanessa Edwin, and they do a fantastic job bringing this story to life. This is definitely a great one to listen to.<\/p>\n

I loved this book so much, and after meeting the rest of the boys in the \u2018Single Dads Bowling Club\u2019, I\u2019m so excited for more from this series.<\/p>\n

5 huge stars.<\/p>\n
