Length: 11 hrs and 26 mins

Publisher's summary

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’s little sister and knowing you can’t have her.

After living in the city, she comes blasting back into Rose Hill like a storm. Beautiful, messy, and chaotic.

And one wide-eyed desperate plea for a job is all it takes for me to hire her.

Forbes may have labeled me the World’s Hottest Billionaire but 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’m her biological father.

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’s little sister.

I vow to keep Rosie at arm’s length. I try to stick to scowls and grumpy one-liners. But with her verbal sparring is merely foreplay—friction that turns to blistering heat.

I know damn well I shouldn’t cross that line.

But shouldn’t and can’t are two very different things.

And the only thing I truly can’t do is resist her.

When Rosie moves back home to start fresh after ending on bad terms with her job, she finds herself in Ford’s orbit. Who she used to have a huge crush on but knew that nothing could ever come of it because of her brother.

Ford is learning how to live in his new reality with a twelve year old teenager, who has so much heart but has had to take care of herself for too long.

Their worlds collide when Ford gives Rosie a job being his business manager, so she gets completely involved in his and Cora’s life.

Elsie truly makes us feel the love between these characters from the very beginning! You can just tell that these two are soulmates and utterly meant to be together. And Cora just completes their little bubble. And their banter is just top tier!

Rosie is one of my favorite Elsie Silver FMC’s hands down! Her sass and wit make her stand out and you know that her and Willa will be good friends!

Cora and Ford’s journey in this book was so, so special. From their first meeting, which honestly was one of the funniest parts of this book (Morticia Adams IYKYK – this literally had me howling out loud), to the very end. I was getting all up in my feels about these two!

Zachary Webber and Vanessa Edwin were the perfect narrators for these two! Zachary’s infamous sighs always get me, and they were the complete embodiment of Ford at times. Vanessa brought the sass that made Rosie really come to life!

All the feels with so much heat and humor!

The way I am completely obsessed with this book and these characters! Ford, Rosie and Cora made this book a stand out for me - all the feels with so much heat and humor! If you are an audiobook lover or not, I cannot stress enough that you need to hear Zach and Vanessa’s portrayal of these characters, they brought them to life and had me absolutely charmed!

“Hear this, Rosie. You are worth every penny. Every fortune. Every investment. Every risk. You are priceless to me.”

Holy swoonnnnn!! Ford Grant has entered the hero chat and he is not messing around with his irresistible charm! He is the perfect mix of gruff and grumpy with that secret pinning side that makes him sweet and vulnerable with his feelings. Add in the fact that he dropped everything to take care of his daughter when she needed him and I was a complete goner for him.

“I can see why people vie for his attention. It’s addictive. And I think I’ve been addicted to getting his attention since I was a kid. I’m only just realizing I’ve had it all along.”

Rosie was full of witty sarcasm and her no nonsense banter with Ford had me smiling and laughing but the way she nurtured her relationship with Cora, her little storm cloud - made me just love her so dang much! So even though Ford and Rosie may have “hated” each other it was clear that either would truly move mountains to make their life even one ounce better. And if you are wondering, yes their chemistry is off the charts and there is a certain deal scene you do not want to miss!! Highly recommend checking this one out! Elsie’s delivers another winner for me!

“Other people might not love you the way I do. Might not forgive you the way I will. You and I? We’re a team. I kind of think we always have been.”

Wild Love Indeed

My first Elsie Silver book and part of me was hoping not to love it because I’d end up wanting to binge her whole catalog of books…

*sighs* I LOVED IT 🥰 so into Chestnut Springs I go 😂

This was a perfect romance book. It was sweet, had me laughing, swooning, sweating 🥵 and crying. All the feels. And Ford Grant isn’t just a book boyfriend…he’s book husband material 👏

The narrators did a fantastic job and I highly recommend the audiobook!

Ford

the love and devotion that ford has for rosie and cora is devastating. I laughed, I cried, and I fell in love with both of these two goofballs.

It's one of those tropes where he fell first and my heart broke for him, years of unrequited love and he finally got the girl. my heart cried for him.

🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍

Perfect

The perfect he fell first. Elsie rights the most amazing mc’s. Ford and Rosie’s dynamic is so cliche yet perfectly sweet and caring.

Wild about this book 💕

The hype over this book is real and I am HERE FOR IT!!! I absolutely fell in love with Wild Love. Elsie Silver has written a perfect romance with lovable characters, a perfect slow burn, quick and witty banter, pining for days on end, and emotion that you can't help yourself but wanna read it again as soon as you finish it. Everything about it was incredible. Every part of the story crafted to perfection, nothing rushed or overdone.

The story of Ford and Rosie, childhood friends and brother's little sister. Ford has made it big in the world, just crowned as "The World's Hottest Billionaire," a title he loathes and despises. At his core, Ford is a simple man from a small town and that's where he decides to begin his new business in record production.
Rosie is his best friends little sister. She has big dreams of living in the "big city" but quickly realizes that small town life is where her heart is and moves back. She needs a job, Ford hires her and so it begins. Years of bickering with each another, teasing with one another finally catch up with them. When they are begin to work together, in close quarters, a fire ignites in both of them. This is the perfect "he falls first" love story and Ford fell a long, long time ago. He's been in love with Rosie his whole life and it's not until she starts to work for him, talk with him and notice him more closely that she realizes he does love her and she starts to wonder if she might feel the same. It's not a secret they have a physical attraction for one another but, being the best friend to Wes, that he is, Ford has kept his distance. Rosie is a firecracker and I absolutely LOVED everything about her. New favorite FMC.🙌 She's such a sassafras! I adored her and so does everybody else most of all Ford.
Ford comes across as aloof and non-feeling but deep down he's just a big cinnamon roll and would literally do anything for Rosie and he does.
Narrated by Zachary Webber and Vanessa Edwin, there could not have been a more perfectly paired match to give these characters life. They were ABSOLUTLEY PERFECTION! Their performances during email and text exchanges, banters back and forth and quiet and meaningful moments made my heart literally melt. Pure gold in audio! This audiobook gets all the stars from me, infinity of them!!! After reading the first installment in the Rose Hill series, I say,,,,bring on all the single dads! I CANNOT WAIT for the next one! Truly a gem 💕 and wildly excited to see what happens next in Rose Hill.

Absolutely incredible

I could not get enough of Ford and Rosie! This was giving Cade and Willa 2.0. The banter was laughable, amusing, and quite enjoyable. The chemistry was immediate from page one!

The most surprising thing that I didn’t think I would enjoy was Cora, the 12 year old daughter Ford knew nothing about. Her energy and personality was immediately Grant worthy. I loved her attitude and no holds barred at speaking her mind (Hello, Aunt Willa).

Rosie was a beautiful female lead and I could not get enough of her. I wanted to soak her up and honestly, I hate that she is a fictional character because I desperately want to hang out with her.

I loved Ford. He is now fighting it out with Cade and Beau for best Elsie Silver man. He is an absolute tall drink of water that you just want more of. He has the biggest heart that will just melt you into mush.

“You know what I hate the most about you, Ford?”

“What’s that, Rosie?”

“That hating you is downright impossible.”

The narrators were phenomenal and always a favorite of mine. Basically, don’t sleep on this wonderful book. You won’t be disappointed.

Laughed out loud MANY times

It’s always fun to read a book that’s set in or nearby your home. As a Calgary Girl it’s one of the things that put me onto Elsie Silver’s writing. It’s even better when the book has humour and has some fun and loving spice like this story.
Wild Love was a wonderful listen, with animated narrators who did an awesome job expressing the depth and breadth of emotion in the story.
I was very touched by the caring and conscientious way a young girl’s trauma and pain was expressed and handled by the characters. Very well done.

Great!

I think this may be the first with this author but it will not be the last. Great story line and the narration made it even better. Always looking for Zachary Webber narration. He and Ava helped make the story even funnier.

I am looking forward to the next in the series.

Silver did it again

I absolutely loved this book. Elsie writes the best banter in her books. Performance from the narrators were spot on no surprise. Definitely worth the money. Will be go to relisten for sure.
