A quick rundown of this product’s key features:
I’d always dreamed of my wedding day. But not like this. Not looking into the eyes of the man who betrayed me.
But when my nephew’s guardianship is contested, I decide I’ll do whatever it takes to keep him in Rose Hill. Even if it means marrying the enemy.
Rhys Dupris.
A man who is secretive, broody, and completely infuriating. A man whose work takes him away for weeks on end and brings him back covered in mysterious bruises—ones he won’t talk about. In fact, we barely talk at all.
Which would be fine, except when he’s not talking, he’s staring. And the way he looks at me is borderline indecent.
The tension between us has always been palpable. But living under the same roof is a dangerous temptation.
I swore I would never forgive him. But that was before I knew the man behind the mask. The one who’s fierce and protective. The one who’s gentle and patient. The one who shows up for us when we need him most.
He’s not at all who I thought he was.
And that makes hating my husband so much harder… and loving him just a little too easy.

Title: A Wild Trip Through and to the Other Side of Grief and Love!
Review: Having your life turned upside down is a compound issue for so many reasons, and I think both Rhys Dupris and Tabitha Garrison would agree immediately. Our third trip to Rose Hill is brought to you by grief and heartbreak and the legal requirements of one will designating guardianship of sweet Milo. Tabby is self-sacrificing, fiercely protective, and incredibly driven in every area of her life, especially when it comes to her nephew Milo. When tragedy strikes and Milo’s home life is disrupted more than usual, the reclusive landlord of her sister is the last person Aunt Tabby Cat expects to have to grapple with.Rhys has had to effortfully find balance between work and personal time off the heels of an injury and now he’ll have to fight for his tenant Erika’s wishes that he take custody of her young son Milo to protect him from her estranged family. The element of surprise doesn’t work outside of his secretive show biz career when he finds that his ward is actually well cared for and extraordinarily loved by the very people his mother claimed would turn him away, something Rhys knows the sting of all too well. Rhys makes the decision to go with his gut and rescript the storyline, this time with honesty and good intentions, and agrees when Tabby offers a marriage of convenience to keep them all together and stable.Milo stays with his family, continues being cared for by Rhys in his down time, Tabby gets to believe this is all Rhys’s fault and have somewhere to place her anger and grief, and Rhys gets to continue exploring his connection as a father figure to Milo and as a potentially not-fake husband to Tabby. When Rhys opens up and shows Tabby his commitment to the bit is anything but pretend unlike the script for the character he moonlights as, Tabby must reevaluate everything she thought she knew and challenge herself to try out the Wild Side of life and find a supportive kind of love not only for Milo but for herself.5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ from one of my auto-read authors!As I told another reader: I think even if you’re not into wrestling, Elsie created such a great atmospheric charge around the performances that it’s still so entertaining and keeps the reader hooked! Wrestling is just a part of Rhys’s life and you can go on the journey with him and Tabby both to have some important revelations outside of that world too.

Title: Interesting plot!
Review: This series is so captivating. We go from a singer to a pro wrestler?! 🤣 I love it. The plot of this story was so original. I don’t think I’ve ever read a romance novel with an MMC being a pro wrestler.Rhys is such a big softie with a huge heart. Lots of hurts to heal and work through but I’m so glad Tabby was able to bring this big guy out of his shell and show him how to love and trust.The “enemies to lovers” trope here was definitely giving. I found myself not liking Rhys for the longest until the truth of the situation with Erika came out in full. Thank goodness for those journals or I would have been hating Rhys the entire time. I wish we would have gotten the truth sooner though. I almost didn’t want to read this book because I thought Rhys was a jerk for most of it. I’m glad I was wrong.All in all, not my favorite book of the series but still good nonetheless.

Title: I’ll be moving to Rose Hill now!
Review: Format; Audio App; Audible🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️Okay! I don’t know how Elsie Silver knew I have always had a soft spot for wrestlers but holy crap!! If I didn’t before I do now.Rhys from the moment we meet him back in boo one was one of my favorite characters and best believe I was dying o know the history between him and Tabitha. The depth and pan hat each one has gone through is really the testament of life. No matter how people may seem on the outside you never know what they are going through unless you sit,ask and listen. Tabitha and Rhys were brought together under very unique circumstances and have this energy between them both neither can figure out if it’s love or hate that they are feeling but once they learn the truth…. Will their friendship that get complicated when marriage gets put into the mix or will they realize they are in love and have been fighting for the same reason!The way each book in the series flows into the next is what I live for in series especially ones that have the potential to be a standalone. Elsie Silver’s story telling I simply cannot get enough of! I have fallen in love with Rose Hill each book is amazing in its own way. I am dying for the fourth book in her series Wild Card to come out in September. Highly highly recommend!

Title: I’m not sure 😕
Review: I put this 1 off for a long time. I’ve heard alot of people praising it, even the whole series. However alot of people praised the 1st one but I couldn’t get into it. Moving forward to here. I wanted to hate Rhys in the beginning, the back & forth between him & Tabitha was great she just doesn’t back down. It’s what kept me turning the pages Enemies to lovers, found family a bit of a twist . Now it has me wanting to read the next one.. Fortunately I don’t have to wait to long.

Title: 4.5 Stars for Wild Side!
Review: I have enjoyed this entire series and cannot wait for Bash’s story Wild Card.This marriage of convenience was heartwarming and breaking rolled into. It was well thought through and was written beautifully.Tabby and Rhys are perfection and while their story starts out rocky, it is perfectly flawed by the end. The way they fight with and for each other and grow together in the little moments are the best part. Milo is the luckiest little boy in the world to have these two humans be his.This story gives you the warm and fuzzies while still addressing some very hard topics with a splash of perfectly crafted spice. It will also make you giggle your butt off because the banter is top notch!Half star gone for Rhys profession alone. That just wasn’t for me. He did make up for that throughout and points for creativity.

Review: “For anyone who has loved someone not because they are perfect but because you manage to find beauty in all their shades of gray.”How does this dedication not suck you in?! Another 5 star epic slow-burn from Elsie Silver.Enemies to LoversMarriage of ConvenienceSmall townSecret identityRhys Durpis is a pro wrestler, fights for a living. Tabitha Garrison is a fight he’s determined to win.These 2 start off almost enemies. They don’t even try to like each other. He has underlying attraction to her that he tries to deny. He’s a jaded tortured soul, she’s a strong, sassy spitfire. She loves her family so deeply and has juggled and sacrificed to try to keep them together. He’s never really experienced a true family. The grief they share over the loss of Tabitha’s sister, and guardianship of her nephew Milo brings them together and binds them.This is an interconnected standalone. You don’t need to read the first two books in the series before you read this one. But Elsie’s writing of family and friendships will make you want to know their friends stories too-and after Wild Side I would be surprised if it doesn’t leave you wanting to know more and leading you right to Wild Love and Wild Eyes!“Yeah. Tabitha, sister of my new tenant, is hot, looks like she thinks I might have bodies buried in my basement, and has a mean handshake. Strangely, I’m into it.”

Review: Everytime I think I’ve read elsie’s best book she proves me wrong.I loved the raw feelings in this book.I was picturing so many different scenarios that could happen because the plot wasn’t predictable, and I enjoyed being at the edge of my seat.Rhys had me screaming and kicking my feet like a lunatic! Elsie outdone herself with him.Tabby as a FMC was amazing!This series is strongly becoming one of my favorites

Review: Oh my gosh guys, how do her books just keep getting better and better?!?! There is no way I can pick a favourite anymore….🫣I was immediately pulled in by the heartbreak of the situation our main characters find themselves in. I teared up so many times throughout the book.Tabitha’s sister leaves behind her three-year-old son Milo, and appoints Rhys as his legal guardian, instead of her own family. Now, of course, this does not go over well with Tabby, and she will fight furiously for her nephew.Because of the lies spun by Tabitha’s sister, Rhys thinks Milo’s family has no interest in him and Tabitha believes Rhys is the reason her sister died. They realize that they need to work together in the best interests of Milo. Which leads to a marriage of convenience, a found family and a secret professional wrestler with a heart of gold.Absolutely a five-star book! Elsie Silver has cemented herself as one of my auto-buy authors!
