About this listen

FROM THE NO. 1 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR*, ELSIE SILVER! SET IN THE SAME BELOVED UNIVERSE AS SMASH-HIT SERIES CHESTNUT SPRINGS: SMALL-TOWN, BIG CHARACTERS, FOUR ADDICTIVE LOVE STORIES . . .

MEET THE SINGLE DADS OF ROSE HILL.

Sebastian Rousseau is a grumpy, hot as hell fire pilot who is too damn good with his hands.

It's the perfect combination. But unfortunately for me, he's also my ex-boyfriend's dad.

A chance meeting brought us together and a missed connection has kept us apart.

One year later, a stroke of fate has us living under the same roof-which makes everything between us downright messy.

Because even after all this time, he's still the man I think about when I fall asleep. The one I can't get over no matter how hard I try.

He's working on mending a fragile relationship with his son and we both know acting on these urges would be the ultimate betrayal.

But I see the heat in his eyes. That look of need that never fails to send a shiver down my spine.

The mutual longing is borderline unbearable and the simmering heat between us is downright palpable.

We both know there are rules when it comes to situations like this.

But then again...following the rules never has been my strong suit.

*Wild Side was an instant no. 1 Sunday Times bestseller in the second week of March 2025.

woah okay, bash and gwen quite literally stole my entire being.
I loved bash so much, he was everything I need. Grumpy and prickly and that mouth on him? My poor man had been hurt way too much and I just wanted to give him a hug. The struggle of doing the right thing or going after what he WANTS, I love how selfless he was and how much he cared and loved his friends and his friendship with Clyde? Will forever be the cutest thing to ever exist. Seeing the way gwen had made him feel happier warmed me.
I absolutely loved gwen, so much I loved her energy, kindness and confidence, the way she was so patient with bash, understood all his insecurities and chose him every damm time and not afraid to put him in his place when needed. I adored Clyde and Gwen’s duo so much, from the initial yoga class to gwen risking her life to get Clyde’s belongings from his house when there was a fire.

Clyde oh Clyde, him stirring up trouble was my favourite, him pushing bash and gwen together, his relationship’s with both Gwen and Bash was so beautiful, he really loved them two doofuses and I don’t blame him. I adored seeing the others ( Ford and Rosie, West and Skylar, Rhys and Tabby) AND THAT BEAU EATON cameo ADORED. I hope we learn more about Emmett in the new series? Since I think he is from emerald lake.
The audiobook was BEAUTIFULLY narrated by Megan Wicks and Connor Crais and they both did a fantastic job at bringing bash and gwen to life.

Bash & Gwen completely owned my heart in this story

Clyde absolutely stole the show for me, his banter had me laughing the whole way through. The love story itself was written with so much grace and care, beautifully crafted as always with Elsie’s touch.

What I loved:
- Clyde (obviously)
- Age gap romance
- Ex-boyfriend’s dad
- Slow burn tension
- Small-town charm
- Forbidden love
- Witty, playful banter

Loved EVERY second

This book is so refreshing, it doesn’t fill you with a constant sense of dread for when things will fall apart then come back together. It’s a smooth and realistic telling of two very compatible people and it’s also hilarious! Gwen and Bash are real characters I can vividly picture. The smut isn’t the plot but adds to it in a surprising and new way…the plane, iykyk 💙💙💙

The best one yet!!! Massive Daddy Cade vibes

Love every bit of the ex boyfriends dad trope. Loved the narrators. Always wish every story like these were in duet, but still loved it! Elsie Silver knows how to make a good romance book!
