Synopsis
To Jasper Gervais’s fans, he’s the handsome, talented hockey heartthrob on TV. But to Sloane, he’ll always be the lost boy with the sad eyes and a heart of gold.
The man she’s loved in secret all her life.
So, when her life falls apart on the day she’s supposed to marry someone else, it only makes sense that he’s the one to swoop in and save her. And when his world comes crashing down around him, she’s there to return the favor.
But the more time they spend alone, the more Jasper isn’t looking at her like a friend anymore. He isn’t touching her like one, either. And after all these years, he’s still everything she’s ever wanted, everything she thought she could never have.
Their feelings aren’t straightforward, though. They twist and turn around the pain of Jasper’s past and the reality of Sloane’s present.
Jasper Gervais might act like he wants her.
But after years of turning her away, he’s going to need to prove it.
Thoughts
Chestnut Springs is one of the three series by Elsie Silver that I have been reading, and I love them all equally. Powerless, book three in this series, was another five-star read for me. Small town and friends to lovers are two of my favorite tropes, so I loved especially loved those aspects. In the sea of hockey romance books, this one stands out due to Silver’s memorable characters and their beautiful love story. I have two books left in this series and really look forward to reading them.
