Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for sending me an e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Review: It's official. I’ve entered my cowboy romance era and thanks to this book, I never want to leave. 

 

“Flawless” follows Rhett Eaton, a professional bull rider whose reputation has been ruined after offending one of his biggest sponsors. In an effort to clean up his image, Rhett’s agent places him under his daughter Summer Hamilton’s full-time supervision for the rest of the season. The rules are simple, keep his hands off her and stay out of trouble. But some rules are meant to be broken.  

 

Rhett and Summer’s alternating perspectives are so well written! The two couldn’t be more different personality-wise and Silver establishes this with their respective character voices and characterizations. Having the ability to see their longing for each other from both sides despite their differences was what drew me in and made me equally invested in reading from both of their points-of-view. 

 

Rhett and Summer’s chemistry is what makes this book so special. At first, the two wanted nothing to do with each other and partook in verbal sparring matches. But that quickly transformed into good-natured banter and loving remarks the moment they both came to the realization that their attraction for each wasn’t merely physical. The moment they realized that they supported each other and showed up for each other beyond what their initial arrangement entailed. They CHOSE each other and I don’t have the words to describe the affect that had on me other than saying that my heart nearly burst under the weight of a love I wish I had. 

 

I also really liked the atmosphere that Silver creates surrounding her fictional small town Chestnut Springs. She familiarizes the reader with the Eaton’s usual haunts (like The Railspur pub), their routines on the ranch, and does so with descriptive language that helps the reader visualize the environment. 

 

Additionally, I enjoyed the sports element in this book. Silver familiarizes the reader with the art of bull riding and immerses them in the arena without overwhelming them with information. Every time Rhett mounts a bull, Silver perfectly captures the high stakes environment with Summer’s fear over Rhett getting injured and Rhett’s adrenaline rush in anticipation of another win. 

 

I am proud to say that I am a Silvie and there’s nothing I want to do more than read the rest of this series. Bloom Books, if you’re reading this, help a girl out and send me the next four books!
