elsie-silver – Echoes In An Empty Room

Cade Eaton is thirteen years older than me and barely looks my way. Until I get him in the hot tub one night for a game of truth or dare. Then all bets are off – and so are our clothes.

He’s gruff, a little rough around the edges, and it turns out broad-shouldered ranchers with filthy mouths are this city girl’s kryptonite. So who am I to resist?

But in our quiet moments together, he softens, and I start to realise his hardened exterior is just a façade. Someone once convinced him that his best wasn’t good enough. Yet I’ve never felt more cherished than I do in his arms.

My contract may say this arrangement is only for two months .

But my heart says this is forever.

My Thoughts:

I cannot seem to get enough of Elsie’s books at the moment and I am excited to try some different series of her when I have finished this series. This story is about Cade and Willa, When Willa becomes the nanny for Cade’s son, neither of them realise what could be between them. It is hot and spicy and such a easy story to follow along to. They both have their own separate issues but will that stand between them if they like each other that much. I liked how each chapter is a different person so you get each side of the story. I enjoyed reading about all the characters and some have cropped up from previous books. Such a good read, and I look forward to reading the next one.

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.

My Thoughts:

I had heard a lot about this Chestnut Spring Series and wanted to give it a go, this is the book I thought I would like the most from reading the plot. Yes this is the final book in the series but I genuinely do not think it matters. I have now purchased the rest in the series though as I really enjoyed this one. This one is about Beau and Bailey, they have both been brought up completely different but the attraction they both have for each other is instant. I love Elsie Silvers way of writing, there are highs and lows and I felt as though I connected with both main characters. This is a book that will pull you in and make you laugh and cry. I thought the hype on this series was overrated but it is most certainly not. Such a good read. I cannot wait to continue the series.
