Reading Elsie Silver books just feels like coming home to me and at this point her stories are comfort reads and some of my favorites ever. Powerless is the newest release and the third book in the Chestnut Springs Series.   I love this book with my whole heart and Sloane and Jasper just belong together. They knew each other since they were kids and Sloane loved Jasper for a long time while he didn’t seem to return the feelings. They were always friends and there for each other, but it never went further. Only when Sloane is about to marry another man, Jasper starts to realize his feelings. That was everything and this book takes the it-was-always-you-aspect to a whole new level. There were so many incredible scenes and some of my favorites had to do with a ring and a tattoo. If you know you know. And Jasper in the bedroom is just hot.   I also really liked the representation of sports as Sloane is a ballet dancer and Jasper is a hockey player. They grew up under opposite circumstances and that messed up especially Jasper who needs to open up more. I really liked it when he showed a more vulnerable side, and you can only love Jasper. In addition, I loved seeing all the previous characters from the Gold Rush Ranch Series and the Chestnut Springs Series. And after all love isn’t a fickle thing, but something for eternity. 5 stars.

Jasper and Sloane finally here

Was I anticipated to read about Jasper? Totally and I love it. This story is very well written. The love story about Jasper and Sloane is told from both POVs in the first person. I prefer this way of writing because it helps me to be more involved in the characters, their emotions and actions and to reflect better about them. In my perspective Sloane and Jasper are reliable characters. I was always present in their story and could understand their feelings and actions. If I was always in sinc with them is another story, but I felt everything which makes this book my favorite in the series this far (more to read). As the authors note mentioned there are some themes described that might need some attention before reading this book. Infos my humble opinion, their handled in a realistic and caretaking way. The tension and chemistry between Sloane and Jasper is realistic and palpable from the beginning. I could relate to this overwhelming feelings. Long time they're only allowed themselves to see each other as friends or family members (little info: They're not related to each other!). They're very close to each other and catch feelings and not everyone is prepared to have their feelings slipping through their tongue. This all is normal and very realistic, specially when friendship is on the hook. Conclusion: It's my favorite in the series this far. Loved the tension, the chemistry and the character building. Could we please get a Harvey book? Even if it's only with Isabella? I want to know if he was always this kind of guy. Infos: ➡️ Non native English readers: This book is easy to follow even when English isn't your second language. ➡️ book order: This book can be read individually but it's part of the chesnut-springs series. The series is complete.
