Wild Side (Deluxe Edition) (Rose Hill, 3)

This is a strong, emotionally satisfying romance that ultimately outshines Wild Eyes. I loved this trope more and connected far more with this couple, who easily earn 5 stars for chemistry and depth. The setting and writing are also top-tier, both solid 5s. My enjoyment sits at a 4.5—while the story is engaging, the plot development felt a bit too slow at times (4.5), and the ending, though well done, felt slightly rushed. That said, the adorable epilogue absolutely made up for it and earned back that missing half point. Overall, a heartfelt, well-written read that deserves its 4.8-star rating.

Wild Side is the third book in the Rose Hill series and its Rhys and Tabitha's story. We get a great blend of emotions, humor, spice, angst, passion, grief, and so much more. The story follows Tabitha and Rhys, two strangers who are connected by Tabitha’s sister Erika. Upon Erika's death, Tabitha is ready to take over custody of her nephew Milo until she finds out her sister’s landlord Rhys, has been named guardian in Erika's will. I loved these two. They were an amazing couple and I loved seeing how their relationship evolved throughout the story. Their journey was quite captivating as these two started off guarded and disliking each other, but eventually started opening up. The banter, tension, chemistry, and eventual spice were everything. This is the third book in the series, and it was a marriage of convenience, small town romance. I enjoyed it, and I would recommend it to romance lovers.

Review: Wild Side is book 3 in Elsie's Rose Hill series, but it can be read as a standalone. Honestly, the first 2 books are so good, that I highly recommend you go back and read them if you haven't already!😁 I knew from the moment we met Rhys, I was going to love him!😍 Tabitha Garrison is the sassy chef and restaurant owner in Rose Hills who just lost her sister. A sister who left behind the cutest little boy named Milo. Tabitha immediately steps in assuming she is his legal guardian when lo and behold her sisters big grumpy landlord enters the picture. Rhys Dupri is a man of few words, but he has plenty going on in that head of his! The push and pull between these two was delicious, and their banter made me so giddy! You could feel the tension and chemistry between these two. I loved how obsessed Rhys was with Tabitha, all the while Tabitha thought they hated each other. Rhys completely stole my heart. This big burly man was putty in Milo's hands. I was swoony over his relationship and love for this little boy. Then there is Cleocatra! Oh my gosh, my heart was on cloud 9! As a girl who grew up watching WWE with her grandpa, I loved Rhys and his storyline was so perfect. I loved both of their backstory and the growth and healing they were able to get through each other. Their entire story was chef's kiss! At this point, I’m convinced Elsie Silver's writing is pure magic. I fall in love with her characters in every book, and Wild Side is no exception! 💚 I listened to the audio by Jason Clarke & Samantha Brentmoore and these two were absolutely perfect for Rhys and Tabby! They did such a fantastic job. I absolutely love the worlds and the characters Elsie creates. I feel like they are my friends and I can call them up for a girls night or to check when bowling night is. I can't wait for Bash's story next!😍

I enjoyed this one. This is a 3rd in a series of her books that I have read. She is just the type of author that I enjoy reading. Fast read, and good story. I liked the wrestling story line of this one even though I’m not into wrestling.

Dude this needed a trigger warning for me so bad! It was such a good book but I wish there was more of a warning before I dove in!

Elsie Silver has done it again! Wild Side, the third book in her Rose Hill series, released on March 4, completely captivated me—I devoured it in a single day. This contemporary romance was everything I hoped for and more, delivering off-the-charts tension, swoon-worthy moments, and deeply emotional character arcs. At the heart of the story are Tabitha and Rhys, whose chemistry is electric from the start. Rhys is the definition of a brooding cinnamon roll—rugged and gruff on the outside, but with a soft, protective heart underneath. His struggle with trust and vulnerability was written so beautifully that I couldn’t help but empathize with him. Tabitha, on the other hand, is a total firecracker. She’s fierce, independent, and unapologetically herself, making for the perfect match against Rhys’s quiet intensity. The layers of secrets between them, especially those tied to Tabby’s sister and her nephew, added so much depth to their interactions. The marriage of convenience trope was executed flawlessly, with real emotional stakes that made their journey all the more gripping. Rhys’s past made his reluctance to open up completely understandable, and watching him and Tabitha navigate their feelings was both heartbreaking and exhilarating. And the audiobook? Absolute perfection. Jason Clark was phenomenal as Rhys, capturing every ounce of his broody, protective nature with his deep, gravelly voice. Samantha Brentmore embodied Tabitha’s fire and sass so well, bringing so much personality and life to her character. Their dual narration made the story even more immersive, and the emotion in their performances elevated the entire experience. Overall, Wild Side is the perfect contemporary romance—emotional, steamy, and unputdownable. Whether you’re reading or listening, this book is a must for romance lovers, and the audiobook is an experience in itself. Five stars all the way!

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

A escritora Elsie Silver é simplesmente fantástica! Essa saga em Rose Hill é viciante!

I really liked this book and enjoyed the reading so much. Can’t wait for the fourth one!!

📚BOOK REVIEW📚 Wild Side - @authorelsiesilver "Does love start off as obsession? Because that’s what I am. Obsessed with my wife" "When I become Wild Side, everything falls into place." I absolutely adored this book. It was such a heartwarming story of grief, loss, healing and love. I loved every second of this story and think this is my favourite in the series. When Tabitha's sister dies, she finds herself looking after nephew Milo. She's barely getting by as she struggles to find a balance with running her restaurant and parenthood. But when her guardianship is questioned by Rhys, she will not take it lying down. They agree to marry in the best interests of Milo. Tabitha is a feisty character but she's vulnerable deep down as she navigates through her grief. She has some excellent verbal sparring with Rhys and some of her comebacks were so comical. Rhys was supportive but had a troublesome past and really struggled with letting people in. He too was vulnerable but reading about them learning to trust and navigate their issues was truly beautiful. Their journey together was beautiful, honest, raw, heartbreaking and heartwarming all at once. This book was slow burn at its best and I couldn't put it down. I was rooting for them and wanted so much for them to get their happy ever after. I went through all the emotions with this book and I think that's a testament to how well this book was written. I loved it and catching up with the characters from the previous book was a real treat also. I liked how the book tackled addition and didn't gloss over it but it was dealt with in a tasteful way but the emotions and consequences that came as a result was very honest. The book contains the following tropes so I would definitely read this if you enjoy these; 💚Single guardian 💚Small town romance 💚Marriage of convenience 💚Enemies to lovers 💚Found Family A really great read and if you listen on audio, you get the amazing @jasonclarkereads and @ms_brentmoor as narrators and they did an amazing job bringing these characters to life. They were excellent.

Okay, that was .... wow as always. I don't know what Elsie Silver puts in her stories but her characters, plot, setting...everything about them makes me happy! I love her writing. I love that she makes every character sound like a real person but also filling her stories with so much positivity that it makes me crave for more. They're wholesome, sweet, fun, filled with humour and sprinkled with right amount of spice. I love the friends group so much (both the men and women) I love that this series is about single dads yet each story and character is different from each other. No wonder her books are so well loved. They're all so worth it 💜
