It's crazy. It's unbelievable. It's unlikely. The woman everyone told me was cold, mean, and unavailable is so thoroughly mine. And that's special. That's everything.

Elsie Silver can do no wrong, I can safely say she’s a new favorite author of mine. I'm not always a fan of the pregnancy trope, but she wrote it beautifully and I loved every single page of this book.

Winter has been a constant presence in the series since the first book and I've been dying to meet the woman everyone refers to as "the ice queen". There's something so raw and relatable about her, a vulnerability that touched me deeply and made me see so much of myself in her. I think most of us have had moments where we feel unworthy of love, like there's something wrong with us that needs to be fixed. As if no one could ever really see us and love all of us, even the bad parts. Winter has been terribly hurt and it has brought me so much joy to witness her journey of healing and self-love. To see her open up to Theo, find comfort in him and trust his love for her.

"That night we were reckless." His voice cracks. "But god, I'd be reckless with you over and over again if it means ending up here.”

Theo is the perfect man, an absolute dream. I honestly don't have the words to describe him. So gentle, so caring, always there for his girls. He was so supportive, a source of love and comfort for Winter and Vivi.
[but don't be fooled by all that sweetness, the man has a hell of a dirty mouth]

This book is filled with heartwarming and incredibly wholesome domestic moments that made my heart double in size. There's not a lot of drama, it felt very cozy and I basked in the warmth of this story. Winter, Theo and sweet little Vivi form a beautiful family and I loved every single moment they spent together.

"That night, all the best things in this world came into existence. You. Vivi. Us.”

Reckless is now my favourite book in the series, it just gave me so much more than I expected. I can’t help but want to reread it and relive all the sweet moments between the characters. I quickly fell in love with this series, with the Eaton family and their friends, and even though I'm sad to see it end, I can't wait to read the last book.

All I want is a cowboy of my own to love…yee-haw!
