“Are you husband material, Beau Eaton?” “Probably not.” I smirk. “But if you want to show me yours, I’ll show you mine.”
While I’m sad to see the end of the Chestnut Springs series I am so glad we got to live in the world Elsie created for us! And oh what a fun, sexy and addictive ride it was! Beau and Bailey’s romance was the perfect ending to leave me feeling content and emotional at the same time! I fell hard for Beau immediately and never looked back, once he propositioned Bailey to be his fake fiance I was smitten, his protective and caring heart was like no other.
“It’s not fair to need her like this. It wasn’t the deal we made. But I care less about that deal all the time and more about keeping her close.”
The banter between these two had me smiling and laughing over and over again, even broody Beau couldn’t resist the playful charm that Bailey embodied. She was so sweet, funny and quick witted, I truly loved that Bailey had no qualms about saying exactly what was on her mind, even if it was an awkward sex question out of left field. She certainly kept Beau on this his toes and that was just what he needed in his life. She didn’t coddle him or hero worship him, he was just a man she was falling in love with. And after all she had been through with her family and the town, she deserved to be loved unconditionally and Beau Eaton was the only man for the job. There were so many great scenes and moments in this book, a memorable book on many fronts, sexy tub scene definitely included, so if you are looking for something undeniably sexy, funny and emotional, Hopeless is it! All the stars.
“You asked me who I wanted to be once, and it’s this. Me. Right here. Right now. With you.”

Hopeless by Elsie Silver: The Bittersweet Finale 📚💔
“I wasn’t looking for love; I was looking for a purpose. I just didn’t expect my purpose to be you.”Hopeless by Elsie Silver marks the conclusion of the Chestnut Spring Series, and it's bittersweet to say goodbye to these beloved characters.Bailey Jansen, a 22-year-old bartender at The Railspur, is no stranger to the town's prejudice due to her family's reputation. She's been fighting to escape her circumstances, working tirelessly to chase her dreams.Beau Eaton, a 35-year-old ex-JTF2 Canadian special forces member, returns to Chestnut Springs after a traumatic event that left him scarred, both physically and emotionally. His PTSD looms over him, but he's yet to seek help.Their paths cross, leading to a fake engagement that takes them on a journey of healing and love. He becomes a protector and a source of strength for her. When Beau suggests a fake engagement, Bailey accepts, hoping it will bring her closer to her dreams.The chemistry between them is undeniable from the start, even though Beau initially resists due to their arrangement. When they finally give in to their feelings, it's a beautiful, passionate moment, and Beau's caring nature shines through. Beau's character is a delightful mix of a filthy mouth and a heart of gold. He's attentive, protective, and loving. A sweet moment is when he mends Bailey's stuffed horse, showing his care and consideration. Bailey, experiences love and care for the first time in her life, thanks to Beau. She learns the warmth of being loved and taken care of.“No, sugar. When it comes to you, I’m downright hopeless.”The Eaton family embraces Bailey, offering her the love and protection she's never had before.While the story between Beau and Bailey is touching, it didn't captivate me as much as the previous books in the series. I found parts of it slightly dragging, and I missed the family's presence, which was less prominent in this book.One aspect that felt lacking was the seriousness of Beau's mental health struggles. While it's heartening to see him find love and support, it's essential to remember that real-life issues often require professional help.The epilogue and bonus chapter provide a satisfying conclusion to the series, wrapping up the characters' stories.In summary, Hopeless addresses essential topics like mental health and burn trauma with respect and empathy, drawing from the author's personal experience. I look forward to Elsie Silver's next series, especially after reading the promising preview.
